Proverbs 25
1 These are also parables of Solomon, which the men of Ezechias king of Juda copied out.
Dagitoy dagiti dadduma pay a nainsiriban a sasao ni Solomon nga insurat dagiti tattao ni Ezekias nga ari ti Juda.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal the word, and the glory of kings to search out the speech.
Pakaitan-okan ti Dios ti panangilimedna iti maysa a banag, ngem pakaidayawan dagiti ari ti mangsukimat iti daytoy.
3 The heaven above, and the earth beneath, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
Kas kangato dagiti langit a nangato ken kauneg ti daga, kasta ti kaiyarigan ti panangsukimat iti puso dagiti ari.
4 Take away the rust from silver, and there shall come forth a most pure vessel:
Ikkatem ti lati iti pirak, tapno mabalin nga aramaten ti mammanday ti pirak.
5 Take away wickedness from the face of the king, and his throne shall be established with justice.
Kasta met nga ikkatem dagiti nadangkes a tattao iti imatang ti ari ket mapatibkerto ti tronona babaen iti panangaramidna iti umno.
6 Appear not glorious before the king, and stand not in the place of great men.
Saanmo nga itan-ok ti bagim iti imatang ti ari ken saanka nga agtakder iti disso a para laeng kadagiti natatakneng a tattao.
7 For it is better that it should be said to thee: Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be humbled before the prince.
Nasaysayaat nga ibagana kenka nga, “Umaykadtoy,” ngem iti maibabainka iti sangoanan ti natakneng a tao. Ti nasaksiam,
8 The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.
ket saanmo a dagus nga ipausig. Ta anianto ngay ti maaramidam no sikanto ti ibabain ti kaarrubam iti dayta a nasaksiam?
9 Treat thy cause with thy friend, and discover not the secret to a stranger:
Pagiinnadalanyo ti saanyo a pagkinnaawatan iti kaarrubam a dakdakayo laeng ket saanmo nga ipakaammo dayta a palimed iti sabali,
10 Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.
ta no saan ket amangan no ibabainnakanto ti makangngeg ket mangiwarasto iti saan a nasayaat a maipanggep kenka ket saanto dayta a mapasardeng.
11 To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
Ti panangibaga iti nasasayaat a sao ket kas iti balitok a naikabil iti pirak.
12 As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear.
Ti nasirib a panangtubngar iti maysa a dumdumngeg ket kasla balitok a singsing wenno alahas a naaramid manipud iti kapipintasan a balitok.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul.
Ti napudno a mensahero ket mangipapaay iti nasayaat a rikna iti nangibaon kenkuana a kas iti lammiis ti niebe iti tiempo ti panagaapit.
14 As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfill his promises.
Kas kadagiti ulep ken angin nga awan tudona ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangipaspasindayag iti sagut a saanna met kadi nga ited.
15 By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
Babaen iti kinaanus, mabalinka a makaallukoy iti turay, ken ti nalukneng a dila ket arigna a mabalin a makatukkol iti tulang.
16 Thou hast found honey, eat what is sufficient for thee, lest being glutted therewith thou vomit it up.
No makasarakka iti diro, manganka laeng iti apagisu-ta no mapalalluam, isarwamto met laeng.
17 Withdraw thy foot from the house of thy neighbour, lest having his fill he hate thee.
Saanmo a kanayon nga ibaddek ta sakam iti balay ti kaarrubam ta amangan no mauma kenka ket guraennaka.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour, is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow.
Ti tao a mangibagbaga iti palso a pammaneknek maibusor iti karrubana ket kasla igam a mausar iti gubat, wenno maysa a kampilan, wenno maysa a natirad a pana.
19 To trust to an unfaithful man in the time of trouble, is like a rotten tooth, and weary foot,
Ti saan a napudno a tao a pagtaltalkam iti tiempo pannakariribuk ket arigna ti nadadael a ngipen wenno saka a maikagkaglis.
20 And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.
Ti tao nga ikankantaanna ti maysa a tao a nadagsen ti riknana ket kasla tay tao a mangus-ussob iti kawesna iti tiempo ti lammin, wenno kasla suka a naibukbok iti sugat.
21 If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:
No mabisbisin ti kabusormo, ikkam isuna iti taraon a kanenna, ken no mawaw isuna, ikkam iti danum nga inumenna,
22 For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.
ta arigna a mangpalaka kadagiti beggang nga ikabilmo ti ulona, ket gunggunaannakanto ni Yahweh.
23 The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue.
Ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangpaunget kadagiti tattao ket kas iti angin manipud iti amianan a sigurado a mangiyeg iti tudo.
24 It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.
Nasaysayaat ti agnaed iti suli ti tuktok ti balay ngem ti makikabbalay iti babai a mannakiapa.
25 As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good tidings from a far country.
Ti pakaiyarigan ti nasayaat a damag manipud iti adayo a pagilian ket kas iti nalammiis a danum iti tao a mawaw.
26 A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.
Ti naimbag a tao nga agdiwerdiwer iti sangoanan dagiti nadangkes a tattao ket kas iti saan a mapagnumaran nga ubbog wenno nadadael a burayok.
27 As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty, shall be overwhelmed by glory.
Saan a nasayaat ti mangan iti adu unay a diro; dayta ket kasla panangbirbirok iti adu a pakaitan-okan.
28 As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.
Ti tao nga awanan panagteppel ket maiyarig iti siudad a nadadael ken awan paderna.
