Proverbs 24
1 Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
Saanmo nga ap-apalan dagiti dakes, wenno saanmo a tarigagayan ti makikadua kadakuada,
2 Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
gapu ta agpangpanggep dagiti pusoda kadagiti rinaranggas, ken agibagbaga dagiti bibigda iti maipanggep iti riribuk.
3 By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.
Babaen iti kinasirib, adda maipatakder a balay, ken babaen iti pannakaawat, naipasdek daytoy.
4 By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.
Babaen iti pannakaammo, napunno dagiti siled kadagiti agkakapateg ken agkakapintas a kinabaknang.
5 A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.
Paneknekan ti masirib a tao a napigsa isuna, ken nasaysayaat ti tao nga addaan iti pannakaammo ngem iti tao a napigsa,
6 Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.
ta babaen kadagiti nainsiriban a wagas ket mapagballigiam ti pannakigubatmo, ken adda balligi babaen kadagiti adu a mammagbaga.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
Ti kinasirib ket nangato unay para iti maag, saanna nga ilukat ti ngiwatna kadagiti ruangan.
8 He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
Adda maysa a tao nga agpangpanggep nga agaramid iti dakes-nalaing nga agaramid iti linuloko ti iyaw-awag kenkuana dagiti tattao.
9 The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
Ti minamaag a panggep ket basol, ken um-umsien dagiti tattao ti mananglais.
10 If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.
No ipakpakitam ti kinatakrutmo iti aldaw ti riribuk, nakapuyka ngarud.
11 Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.
Ispalem dagiti maipanpanaw maiyap-apan iti ipapatay, ken tenglem dagiti agibar-ibar nga agturong iti pannakatayda.
12 If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works.
No ibagam, “Awan ammomi maipanggep iti daytoy.” Saan kadi nga ammo ti Mangtimtimbang iti puso ti ibagbagam? Ken saan kadi nga ammo daytoy ti Mangsalsalaknib iti biagmo? Ken saan kadi nga itedto ti Dios no ania ti maikari iti tunggal maysa?
13 Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
Anakko, manganka iti diro gapu ta nasayaat daytoy, gapu ta ti tedted ti diro ket nasam-it iti panagramanmo.
14 So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
Kasta met ti kinasirib para iti kararuam- no birukem daytoy, addanto masakbayan ken saanto a mapukaw ti namnamam.
15 Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
Saanka nga aglemmeng nga aguray a kas kadagiti nadangkes a tattao a mangdarup iti balay dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg. Saanmo a dadaelen ti pagtaenganna!
16 For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
Ta no matuang a maminpito ti tao nga agar-aramid ti nalinteg, bumangonto manen isuna, ngem dagiti nadangkes ket parmeken ti didigra.
17 When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
Saanka nga agrambak no marigrigatan ti kabusormo, ken saan koma nga aragsak ta pusom no maitublak isuna,
18 Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
ta no saan ket makita ni Yahweh ken amangan no saannaka a kanunongan gapu iti dayta ket saannan a kapungtot dayta a tao.
19 Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
Saanka nga agdanag gapu kadagiti agar-aramid kadagiti dakes a banbanag, ken saanmo nga apalan dagiti nadangkes a tattao,
20 For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
ta awan masakbayan ti dakes a tao, ken arigna a maiddepto ti lampara ti nadangkes.
21 My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
Agbutengka kenni Yahweh, ken agbutengka iti ari, anakko; saanka a makikadua kadagiti mangsuksukir kadakuada,
22 For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?
ta giddatonto a dumteng ti didigrada ket siasino ti makaammo iti kadakkel ti pannakadadael a dumteng manipud kadakuada?
23 These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.
Dagitoy ket sasao met laeng dagiti masirib. No maipapan iti linteg, saan a nasayaat no adda panangidumduma iti panangukom.
24 They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.
Siasinoman a mangibaga iti nagbasol, “Sika ti husto,” ket ilunodto dagiti tattao ken guraento dagiti nasion.
25 They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.
Ngem maaddaanto iti kasta unay a ragsak dagiti mangtubngar kadagiti nadangkes, ken addanto dumteng kadakuada a sagsagut a nasasayaat.
26 He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.
Ti mangmangted iti pudno a sungbat ket arigna a mangmangted iti agek iti bibig.
27 Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
Aramidem ti trabahom iti ruar, samo isagana ti talon; kalpasan dayta, ipatakdermon ti balaymo.
28 Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.
Saanka nga agsaksi iti maibusor iti kaarubam nga awan ti gapgapuna, ken saanka a mangallilaw babaen kadagiti bibigmo.
29 Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.
Saanmo nga ibaga, “Aramidekto kenkuana ti inaramidna kaniak; pagbayadekto isuna iti inaramidna.”
30 I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:
Nagnaak iti talon ti tao a sadut, limmabasak iti kaubasan ti tao nga awan ammona.
31 And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.
Nagtubtuboanen dagiti sisiit ti talonna, naabbonganen ti daga kadagiti siitan a mula, ken narban ti bato nga aladna.
32 Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.
Kalpasanna, nakitak ket pinanunotko; kimmitaak ket nakasursuroak.
33 Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest:
Maturog pay bassit, iridep pay bassit, idalikepkep pay biit tapno makainana-
34 And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
ket dumteng kenka ti kinapanglaw a kas iti agtatakaw, ken dumteng kenka dagiti panagkasapulam a kasla dagitoy ket nakaarmas a soldado.
