< Proverbs 19 >

1 Better is the poor who walks in his simplicity, than the rich who twists his lips and is unwise.
Nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao nga agbibiag iti kinalinteg ngem iti maysa a maag a dakes ti panagsasaona.
2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good. And whoever hurries with his feet will stumble.
Kasta met, a saan a nasayaat ti agtarigagay nga awanan iti pannakaammo, ken ti tumaray a nakaparpartak ket maiyaw-awan iti dalan.
3 The foolishness of a man undermines his steps. And then he seethes in his soul against God.
Ti kinamaag ti maysa a tao ti mangdadael iti biagna, ken busbusorenna ni Yahweh.
4 Riches add many friends. But from the pauper, even those whom he had become separated.
Umado ti gagayyem gapu iti kinabaknang, ngem maisina ti nakurapay a tao kadagiti gagayyemna.
5 A false witness shall not go unpunished. And whoever speaks lies will not escape.
Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ken saan a makalibas ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
6 Many honor the character of one who is powerful, and there are friends for a giver of gifts.
Adunto dagiti dumawat iti pabor manipud iti mannangited a tao, ken tunggal maysa ket gayyem ti manangted iti sagut.
7 The brothers of the poor man hate him. Moreover, even his friends have withdrawn far from him. Whoever pursues only words shall have nothing.
Amin a kakabsat ti nakurapay a tao ket kagurada isuna; ad-adda pay ngarud nga ad-adaywan isuna dagiti gagayyemna! Aw-awaganna ida, ngem awandan.
8 But whoever possesses reason loves his own soul. And one who guards prudence shall discover good things.
Ti mangnaynayon iti kinasiribna ket ipatpategna ti bukodna a biag; ti mangsalsalimetmet iti pannakaawat ket makabirok iti naimbag.
9 A false witness shall not go unpunished. And whoever speaks lies will perish.
Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ngem mapukaw ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
10 Fine things are not fitting for the foolish, nor is it fitting for a servant to rule over princes.
Saan a rumbeng nga agbiag iti narang-ay ti maysa a maag - ad-adda a saan a rumbeng nga iturayan ti maysa a tagabu dagiti prinsipe.
11 The doctrine of a man is known through patience. And his glory is to pass beyond iniquities.
Ti pannakaammo ti mangmangted iti kabaelan iti maysa a tao tapno saan a nalaka a makaunget, ken pakaidayawanna ti panangpalabasna iti nagbasolanda kenkuana.
12 Like the roaring of a lion, so also is the wrath of a king. And his cheerfulness is like the dew upon the grass.
Ti pungtot ti ari ket kasla panagngernger ti urbon a leon, ngem ti asina ket kasla linnaaw kadagiti karuotan.
13 A foolish son is the grief of his father. And an argumentative wife is like a roof that is continually leaking.
Ti maag nga anak ket pakaibabainan ti amana, ken ti dumanayudom nga asawa a babai ket kas iti danum nga agtedtedted a kanayon.
14 A house and its riches are given by parents. But a prudent wife is particularly from the Lord.
Ti balay ken kinabaknang ket matawtawid manipud kadagiti nagannak, ngem ti nanakem nga asawa a babai ket aggapu kenni Yahweh.
15 Laziness sends one into a deep sleep, and a dissolute soul will go hungry.
Ti kinasadut ket paturogenna ti tao, ngem agbisin ti tao a saanna a kayat ti agtrabaho.
16 Whoever guards a commandment guards his own soul. But whoever neglects his own way will die.
Ti tao a mangtungtungpal iti bilin ket salsaluadanna ti biagna, ngem matay ti tao a saan a mangutob iti maipanggep kadagiti wagasna.
17 Whoever is merciful to the poor lends to the Lord. And he will repay him for his efforts.
Ti siasinoman a naasi kadagiti nakurapay ket kasla padpadawatanna ni Yahweh, ket bayadanto ni Yahweh isuna kadagiti inaramidna.
18 Teach your son; do not despair. But do not set your soul toward putting him to death.
Disiplinaam ti anakmo kabayatan nga adda pay namnama, ken saanmo koma nga itulok a mapukaw ti biagna.
19 Whoever is impatient will sustain damage. And when it has been taken away, he will set up another.
Masapul a bayadan ti tao a managpungtot ti pannusa; no ispalem isuna, masapul nga aramidem daytoy iti mamindua.
20 Listen to counsel and take up discipline, so that you may be wise in your latter days.
Denggem ti balakad ken awatem ti pannursuro, tapno sumiribka agingga iti pagpatinggaan ti biagmo.
21 There are many intentions in the heart of a man. But the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
Adu dagiti plano iti puso ti maysa a tao, ngem ti plano ni Yahweh ti matungpal.
22 An indigent man is merciful. And a pauper is better than a deceitful man.
Ti kinapudno ti tartarigagayan ti maysa a tao, ken nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao ngem ti ulbod.
23 The fear of the Lord is unto life. And he shall linger in plentitude, without being visited by disaster.
Ti panangidaydayaw kenni Yahweh ti mangiturturong kadagiti tattao iti biag; mapnek ti siasinoman nga addaan kadagitoy ken saan a madangran.
24 The lazy conceals his hand under his arm, and he will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
Idisso ti sadut ti imana iti pinggan; a saanna payen a maingato daytoy nga isubo iti ngiwatna.
25 When the pestilent are scourged, the foolish will become wiser. But if you chastise the wise, he will understand discipline.
No dangram ti mananglais, agbalin a nanakem ti nengneng; ilintegmo ti adda pannakaawatna ket magun-odnanto ti pannakaammo.
26 Whoever afflicts his father and flees from his mother is disreputable and unhappy.
Ti tao a taktakawanna ti amana ken pagtaltalawenna ti inana ket anak a mangipapaay iti pakaibabainan ken pakaum-umsian.
27 Son, do not cease listening to doctrine, and do not be ignorant of the sermons of knowledge.
No isardengmo ti dumngeg iti pannursuro, anakko, malipatam dagiti sasao iti pannakaammo.
28 An unjust witness ridicules judgment. And the mouth of the impious devours iniquity.
Lalaisen ti dakes a saksi ti hustisia, ken tiltilmunen ti ngiwat dagiti nadangkes ti basol.
29 Judgments are prepared for those who ridicule. And striking hammers are prepared for the bodies of the foolish.
Nakasaganan ti panangukom para kadagiti mananglais, ken ti saplit para kadagiti bukot dagiti maag.
