Proverbs 28
1 The evil man goes running away when no man is after him, but the upright are without fear, like the lion.
Agtaray dagiti managdakdakes uray no awan ti mangkamkamat kadakuada, ngem dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket natured a kas iti urbon a leon.
2 Because of the sin of the land, its troubles are increased; but by a man of wisdom and knowledge they will be put out like a fire.
Gapu iti basol ti daga, addaan daytoy kadagiti mangiturturay, ngem babaen iti tao nga addaan iti pannakaawat ken pannakaammo, agpautto daytoy iti atiddug a tiempo.
3 A man of wealth who is cruel to the poor is like a violent rain causing destruction of food.
Ti maysa a napanglaw a tao a mangidaddadanes kadagiti padana a napanglaw ket kas iti bumayakabak a tudo nga awan ibatina a taraon.
4 Those who have no respect for the law give praise to the evil-doer; but such as keep the law are against him.
Dagiti mangtallikod iti linteg ket dayawenda dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem guraen ida dagiti agtultulnog iti linteg.
5 Evil men have no knowledge of what is right; but those who go after the Lord have knowledge of all things.
Saan a maawatan dagiti dakes a tattao ti hustisia, ngem maawatan dagiti mangsapsapul kenni Yahweh dagiti amin a banag.
6 Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight.
Nasaysayaat ti napanglaw a tao nga agbibiag iti kinatarnawna, ngem iti nabaknang a tao a dakes dagiti aramidna.
7 He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.
Ti agtungtungpal iti linteg ket maysa nga anak nga addaan iti pannakaawat, ngem ti tao a kadua dagiti narawet ket ibabainna ti amana.
8 He who makes his wealth greater by taking interest, only gets it together for him who has pity on the poor.
Ti agur-urnong iti kinabaknangna babaen iti nangato a panangporsiyentona iti ipapautangna ket ur-urnongenna ti kinabaknangna a maipaayto iti tao a naasi kadagiti napanglaw a tattao.
9 As for the man whose ear is turned away from hearing the law, even his prayer is disgusting.
No adda saan a dumdumngeg iti linteg, uray pay ti kararagna ket makarimon.
10 Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage.
Ti siasinoman a mangiturong iti nalinteg iti dakes a wagas ket matnag iti bukodna nga abut, ngem maaddaan iti nasayaat a tawid ti awan basolna.
11 The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him.
Ti baknang a tao ket mabalin a masirib iti bukodna a panagkita, ngem matakuatanto isuna ti napanglaw a tao nga addaan iti pannakaawat.
12 When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen.
Inton adda balligi para kadagidiay agar-aramid iti umno, addanto naindaklan a dayag, ngem inton bumangon dagiti nadangkes, aglemmeng dagiti tattao.
13 He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.
Ti mangilemlemmeng kadagiti basolna ket saan a rumang-ay, ngem ti agbabawi ken tumallikod kadagitoy ket makaassianto.
14 Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble.
Naragsak ti maysa a tao a kanayon nga agbibiag nga addaan iti panagraem, ngem ti siasinoman a mangpatangken iti pusona ket mariribukanto.
15 Like a loud-voiced lion and a wandering bear, is an evil ruler over a poor people.
Kas iti agngerngernger a leon wenno agdakdakiwas nga oso ti kaiyarigan ti nadangkes a mangiturturay kadagiti napanglaw a tattao.
16 The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life.
Maysa a naranggas a mangidadanes ti kaiyarigan ti mangiturturay nga awanan iti pannakaawat, ngem ti manggurgura iti kinaulbod ket pumautto dagiti aldawna.
17 One who has been the cause of a man's death will go in flight to the underworld: let no man give him help.
No nagbiddut ti maysa a tao gapu ta adda pinagsayasayna ti darana, aglemmengto isuna agingga a matay, ket awanto ti tumulong kenkuana.
18 He whose ways are upright will be safe, but sudden will be the fall of him whose ways are twisted.
Natalgedto ti siasinoman nga agbiag nga addaan iti kinatarnaw, ngem dagus a matnag ti agbibiag iti nakillo a wagas.
19 By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good-for-nothing persons will be poor enough.
Ti tao a mangtrabtrabaho iti dagana ket maaddaanto iti adu a taraon, ngem maaddaanto iti adu a rigat ti siasinoman a mangsurot iti awan serserbina nga aramid.
20 A man of good faith will have great blessing, but one attempting to get wealth quickly will not go free from punishment.
Ti napudno a tao ket maaddaanto iti adu a bendision, ngem madusanto ti tao a bumaknang iti apagbiit.
21 It is not good to have respect for a man's position: for a man will do wrong for a bit of bread.
Saan a nasayaat a mangipakita iti panangidumduma, ngem agbasol ti tao para iti sangapidaso a tinapay.
22 He who is ever desiring wealth goes running after money, and does not see that need will come on him.
Kamkamaten ti naimot a tao ti kinabaknang, ngem saanna ammo nga umayto kenkuana ti kinarigat.
23 He who says words of protest to a man will later have more approval than one who says smooth words with his tongue.
Ti siasinoman a mangtubngar iti maysa a tao ket makasarakto iti ad-adu a pabor manipud kenkuana ngem ti maysa a tao a mangpatpatiray-ok kenkuana babaen iti dilana.
24 He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life.
Siasinoman a mangtakaw iti sanikua ti ama wenno inana nga ibagana a, “Saan a basol dayta,” kadua isuna ti manangdadael.
25 He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat.
Mangparnuay iti apa ti naagum a tao, ngem rumang-ay ti agtaltalek kenni Yahweh.
26 He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe.
Maag ti agtaltalek iti bukodna a bagi, ngem ti siasinoman nga agbibiag iti kinasirib ket maiyadayo manipud iti peggad.
27 He who gives to the poor will never be in need, but great curses will be on him who gives no attention to them.
Awan pagkurangan ti mangtultulong kadagiti napanglaw, ngem siasinoman a saan a mangikaskaso kadakuada ket aglak-amto iti adu a lunod.
28 When evil-doers are lifted up, men take cover; but when destruction overtakes them, the upright are increased.
No bumileg dagiti nadangkes, aglemmeng dagiti tattao, ngem no mapukaw dagiti nadangkes, umadu dagiti agar-aramid iti umno.
