Proverbs 26
1 In the manner of snow in the summer, and rain at the harvest, so also is glory unfit for the foolish.
Niebe iti panawen ti tikag wenno tudo iti panawen iti panagapit ti pakaiyarigan ti maag a saan a maikari a mapadayawan.
2 Like a bird flying away to another place, and like a sparrow that hurries away freely, so also a curse uttered against someone without cause will pass away.
Ti panagakar-akar ti billit tuleng ken ti napartak a panagtayab ti sallapingaw ti pakaiyarigan ti lunod a saan a maikari nga agdissuor.
3 A whip is for a horse, and a muzzle is for donkey, and a rod is for the back of the imprudent.
Ti baut ket para iti kabalio, ti busal ket para iti asno ken ti kayo a pagbaut ket para kadagiti maag.
4 Do not respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest you become like him.
Saanmo a sungsungbatan ken danggayan ti maag iti kinamaagna, ta no aramidem dayta ket agbalinka a kas kenkuana.
5 Respond to the foolish according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
Sungbatam iti minamaag ti tao a maag ken danggayam iti kinamaagna tapno saan isuna nga agbalin a nasirib iti bukodna a panagkita.
6 Whoever sends words by a foolish messenger has lame feet and drinks iniquity.
Ti siasinoman a mangipatulod iti mensahe iti maysa a maag ket arigna a putputdenna ti sakana ken in-inumenna ti pakadangranna.
7 In the manner of a lame man who has beautiful legs to no purpose, so also is a parable unfit for the mouth of the foolish.
Dagiti agbitbitin a saka ti maysa a paralitiko ket maiyarig iti maysa a proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
8 Just like one who casts a stone into the pile of Mercury, so also is he who gives honor to the foolish.
Ti panangigalut iti bato iti maysa a palsiit ket kapada ti panangpadayaw iti maysa a maag.
9 In the manner of a thorn, if it were to spring up from the hand of a drunkard, so also is a parable in the mouth of the foolish.
Ti sisiit nga igi-iggem ti maysa a nabartek ket kasla proverbio iti ngiwat dagiti maag.
10 Judgment determines cases. And whoever imposes silence on the foolish mitigates anger.
Ti pumapana a mangsugsugat iti uray siasinoman ket kasla tay tao a mangtangtangdan iti maag wenno uray siasinoman a lumabas.
11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit, so also is the imprudent who repeats his foolishness.
Aso a mangdildilpat iti sarwana ti pakaiyarigan ti maysa a maag a mangulit-ulit iti minamaag nga aramidna.
12 Have you seen a man who seems wise to himself? There will be greater hope held for the unwise than for him.
Adda kadi makitkitam a nasirib iti bukodna a panagkita? Adda ad-adu a namnama para iti maysa a maag ngem iti kas kenkuana.
13 The lazy one says, “There is a lion along the way, and a lioness in the roads.”
Ibagbaga ti sadut a tao nga, “Adda leon iti dalan! Adda leon kadagiti plasa!”
14 Just as a door turns upon its hinges, so also does the lazy one turn upon his bed.
Ti panagpusipos ti ridaw iti bisagrana ti pakaiyarigan ti panagbalibalikid ti nasadut a tao iti pagid-iddaanna.
15 The lazy one conceals his hand under his arms, and it is a labor for him to move it 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 The lazy one seems wiser to himself than seven men speaking judgments.
Iti panagkita ti maysa a sadut a tao ket nasirsirib isuna ngem iti pito a lallaki nga addaan iti kinatimbeng.
17 Just like one who takes hold of a dog by the ears, so also is he who crosses impatiently and meddles in the quarrels of another.
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 Just as he is guilty who let loose the arrows and the lances unto death,
Agmauyong a tao a mangibibiat iti umap-apuy a pana
19 so also is the man who harms his friend by deceitfulness. And when he has been apprehended, he says, “I did it jokingly.”
ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangal-allilaw iti karrubana sana kuna, “Agang-angawak laeng!”
20 When the wood fails, the fire will be extinguished. And when the gossiper is taken away, conflicts will be quelled.
Ta no awan ti kayo, maiddep ti apuy, ken no awan ti manangperdi iti padana a tao, agsardeng ti panagaapa.
21 Just as charcoals are to burning coals, and wood is to fire, so also is an angry man who stirs up quarrels.
Uging a bumegbeggang ken kayo nga agapuy ti kaiyarigan ti mannakiapa a tao a mangpakaro iti panagririri.
22 The words of a whisperer seem simple, but they penetrate to the innermost parts of the self.
Dagiti sasao a pammadpadakes ket maiyarig iti sangkasakmol a naimas a makan; umunegda iti kaunggan a paset ti bagi.
23 In the same manner as an earthen vessel, if it were adorned with impure silver, conceited lips are allied with a wicked heart.
Ti pirak a naikalupkop iti banga ket kasla umap-apuy a bibig ken dakes a panagpuspuso.
24 An enemy is known by his lips, though it is from his heart that he draws out deceit.
Ti siasinoman a gumurgura iti dadduma ket kalkalubanna ti riknana babaen kadagiti ibagbagana, ken ur-urnongenna ti kinaulbodna iti kaungganna.
25 When he will have lowered his voice, do not believe him, for there are seven vices in his heart.
Agsao isuna iti nasayaat, ngem saanmo a patpatien isuna, ta adda pito a makarimon iti pusona.
26 Whoever covers hatred with deceit, his malice shall be revealed in the assembly.
Uray no ti gurana ket nakaluban iti panangallilaw, maammoanto ti sangkagimongan ti kinadangkesna.
27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. And whoever rolls a stone, it will roll back to him.
Ti siasinoman a mangkali iti abut ket matnag iti daytoy, ken agtulid nga agsubli ti bato iti siasinoman a nangiduron iti daytoy.
28 A false tongue does not love truth. And a slippery mouth works ruin.
Kagurgura ti ulbod a dila dagiti tattao nga irurrurumenna, ken mangipapaay iti pannakadadael ti manangpatiray-ok a ngiwat.
