Proverbs 26
1 As dew in harvest, and as rain in summer, so honour is not [seemly] for a fool.
Niebe iti panawen ti tikag wenno tudo iti panawen iti panagapit ti pakaiyarigan ti maag a saan a maikari a mapadayawan.
2 As birds and sparrows fly, so a curse shall not come upon any one without a cause.
Ti panagakar-akar ti billit tuleng ken ti napartak a panagtayab ti sallapingaw ti pakaiyarigan ti lunod a saan a maikari nga agdissuor.
3 As a whip for a horse, and a goad for an ass, so [is] a rod for a simple nation.
Ti baut ket para iti kabalio, ti busal ket para iti asno ken ti kayo a pagbaut ket para kadagiti maag.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou become like him.
Saanmo a sungsungbatan ken danggayan ti maag iti kinamaagna, ta no aramidem dayta ket agbalinka a kas kenkuana.
5 Yet answer a fool according to his folly, lest he seem wise in his own conceit.
Sungbatam iti minamaag ti tao a maag ken danggayam iti kinamaagna tapno saan isuna nga agbalin a nasirib iti bukodna a panagkita.
6 He that sends a message by a foolish messenger procures for himself a reproach from his own ways.
Ti siasinoman a mangipatulod iti mensahe iti maysa a maag ket arigna a putputdenna ti sakana ken in-inumenna ti pakadangranna.
7 [As well] take away the motion of the legs, as transgression from the mouth of fools.
Dagiti agbitbitin a saka ti maysa a paralitiko ket maiyarig iti maysa a proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
8 He that binds up a stone in a sling, is like one that gives glory to a fool.
Ti panangigalut iti bato iti maysa a palsiit ket kapada ti panangpadayaw iti maysa a maag.
9 Thorns grow in the hand of a drunkard, and servitude in the hand of fools.
Ti sisiit nga igi-iggem ti maysa a nabartek ket kasla proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
10 All the flesh of fools endures much hardship; for their fury is brought to nought.
Ti pumapana a mangsugsugat iti uray siasinoman ket kasla tay tao a mangtangtangdan iti maag wenno uray siasinoman a lumabas.
11 As when a dog goes to his own vomit, and becomes abominable, so is fool who returns in his wickedness to his own sin. [There is a shame that brings sin: and there is a shame [that is] glory and grace.]
Aso a mangdildilpat iti sarwana ti pakaiyarigan ti maysa a maag a mangulit-ulit iti minamaag nga aramidna.
12 I have seen a man who seemed to himself to be wise; but a fool had more hope than he.
Adda kadi makitkitam a nasirib iti bukodna a panagkita? Adda ad-adu a namnama para iti maysa a maag ngem iti kas kenkuana.
13 A sluggard when sent on a journey says, [There is] a lion in the ways, and [there are] murderers in the streets.
Ibagbaga ti sadut a tao nga, “Adda leon iti dalan! Adda leon kadagiti plasa!”
14 As a door turns on the hinge, so does a sluggard on his bed.
Ti panagpusipos ti ridaw iti bisagrana ti pakaiyarigan ti panagbalibalikid ti nasadut a tao iti pagid-iddaanna.
15 A sluggard having hid his hand in his bosom, will not be able to bring it up to his mouth.
Ti sadut a tao ket ikabilna ti imana iti pinggan, ngem saanna man laeng a maingato daytoy nga isubo iti ngiwatna.
16 A sluggard seems to himself wiser than one who most satisfactorily brings back a message.
Iti panagkita ti maysa a sadut a tao ket nasirsirib isuna ngem iti pito a lallaki nga addaan iti kinatimbeng.
17 As he that lays hold of a dog's tail, so is he that makes himself the champion of another's cause.
Ti tao a lumabas a makaunget iti panagsisinnupiat a saanna met a pakaseknan ket kasla tay tao a mangtengngel kadagiti lapayag ti maysa nga aso.
18 As those who need correction put forth [fair] words to men, and he that first falls in with the proposal will be overthrown;
Agmauyong a tao a mangibibiat iti umap-apuy a pana
19 so are all that lay wait for their own friends, and when they are discovered, say, I did it in jest.
ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangal-allilaw iti karrubana sana kuna, “Agang-angawak laeng!”
20 With much wood fire increases; but where there is not a double-minded man, strife ceases.
Ta no awan ti kayo, maiddep ti apuy, ken no awan ti manangperdi iti padana a tao, agsardeng ti panagaapa.
21 A hearth for coals, and wood for fire; and railing man for the tumult of strife.
Uging a bumegbeggang ken kayo nga agapuy ti kaiyarigan ti mannakiapa a tao a mangpakaro iti panagririri.
22 The words of cunning knaves are soft; but they smite [even] to the inmost parts of the bowels.
Dagiti sasao a pammadpadakes ket maiyarig iti sangkasakmol a naimas a makan; umunegda iti kaunggan a paset ti bagi.
23 Silver dishonestly given is to be considered as a potsherd: smooth lips cover a grievous heart.
Ti pirak a naikalupkop iti banga ket kasla umap-apuy a bibig ken dakes a panagpuspuso.
24 A weeping enemy promises all things with his lips, but in his heart he contrives deceit.
Ti siasinoman a gumurgura iti dadduma ket kalkalubanna ti riknana babaen kadagiti ibagbagana, ken ur-urnongenna ti kinaulbodna iti kaungganna.
25 Though [thine] enemy intreat thee with a loud voice, consent not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
Agsao isuna iti nasayaat, ngem saanmo a patpatien isuna, ta adda pito a makarimon iti pusona.
26 He that hides enmity frames deceit: but being easily discerned, exposes his own sins in the public assemblies.
Uray no ti gurana ket nakaluban iti panangallilaw, maammoanto ti sangkagimongan ti kinadangkesna.
27 He that digs a pit for his neighbour shall fall into it: and he that rolls a stone, rolls it upon himself.
Ti siasinoman a mangkali iti abut ket matnag iti daytoy, ken agtulid nga agsubli ti bato iti siasinoman a nangiduron iti daytoy.
28 A lying tongue hates the truth; and an unguarded mouth causes tumults.
Kagurgura ti ulbod a dila dagiti tattao nga irurrurumenna, ken mangipapaay iti pannakadadael ti manangpatiray-ok a ngiwat.
