Proverbs 25
1 These are more proverbs of Solomon, collected by the scribes of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
Dagitoy dagiti dadduma pay a nainsiriban a sasao ni Solomon nga insurat dagiti tattao ni Ezekias nga ari ti Juda.
2 God's greatness is in doing things that can't be known, while the greatness of kings is in revealing things.
Pakaitan-okan ti Dios ti panangilimedna iti maysa a banag, ngem pakaidayawan dagiti ari ti mangsukimat iti daytoy.
3 Just as the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth can't be known, the king's thinking can't be known.
Kas kangato dagiti langit a nangato ken kauneg ti daga, kasta ti kaiyarigan ti panangsukimat iti puso dagiti ari.
4 Remove the waste from the silver, and the silversmith has pure silver to work with.
Ikkatem ti lati iti pirak, tapno mabalin nga aramaten ti mammanday ti pirak.
5 Remove the wicked from the king's presence and the king will rule securely and justly.
Kasta met nga ikkatem dagiti nadangkes a tattao iti imatang ti ari ket mapatibkerto ti tronona babaen iti panangaramidna iti umno.
6 Don't try to make yourself look great before the king, and don't pretend to be among the important people,
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's better to be told, “Come up here,” than to be humiliated before a nobleman. Even though you've seen something with your own eyes,
Nasaysayaat nga ibagana kenka nga, “Umaykadtoy,” ngem iti maibabainka iti sangoanan ti natakneng a tao. Ti nasaksiam,
8 don't rush to take legal action, for what are you going to do in the end when your neighbor shows you're wrong and humiliates you?
ket saanmo a dagus nga ipausig. Ta anianto ngay ti maaramidam no sikanto ti ibabain ti kaarrubam iti dayta a nasaksiam?
9 Discuss the case with your neighbor himself, and don't betray someone else's secret,
Pagiinnadalanyo ti saanyo a pagkinnaawatan iti kaarrubam a dakdakayo laeng ket saanmo nga ipakaammo dayta a palimed iti sabali,
10 otherwise whoever hears it will make you ashamed and you'll never lose your bad reputation.
ta no saan ket amangan no ibabainnakanto ti makangngeg ket mangiwarasto iti saan a nasayaat a maipanggep kenka ket saanto dayta a mapasardeng.
11 Advice given at the right time is like golden apples set in silver.
Ti panangibaga iti nasasayaat a sao ket kas iti balitok a naikabil iti pirak.
12 Constructive criticism from the wise to someone who listens is like a gold ring and a necklace of fine gold.
Ti nasirib a panangtubngar iti maysa a dumdumngeg ket kasla balitok a singsing wenno alahas a naaramid manipud iti kapipintasan a balitok.
13 Faithful messengers are as refreshing to their master as cold snow on a hot harvest day.
Ti napudno a mensahero ket mangipapaay iti nasayaat a rikna iti nangibaon kenkuana a kas iti lammiis ti niebe iti tiempo ti panagaapit.
14 Someone who boasts about a gift they never give is like cloud and wind without rain.
Kas kadagiti ulep ken angin nga awan tudona ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangipaspasindayag iti sagut a saanna met kadi nga ited.
15 If you're patient you can persuade your superior, and soft words can break down opposition.
Babaen iti kinaanus, mabalinka a makaallukoy iti turay, ken ti nalukneng a dila ket arigna a mabalin a makatukkol iti tulang.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough, for if you eat too much, you'll be sick.
No makasarakka iti diro, manganka laeng iti apagisu-ta no mapalalluam, isarwamto met laeng.
17 Don't set foot in your neighbors' homes too often, otherwise they'll get fed up with you and hate you.
Saanmo a kanayon nga ibaddek ta sakam iti balay ti kaarrubam ta amangan no mauma kenka ket guraennaka.
18 Telling lies in court against a friend is like attacking them with a mace, or a sword, or an 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 Trusting in unreliable people in times of trouble is like eating with a broken tooth or walking on a bad foot.
Ti saan a napudno a tao a pagtaltalkam iti tiempo pannakariribuk ket arigna ti nadadael a ngipen wenno saka a maikagkaglis.
20 Singing happy songs to someone who's broken-hearted is like taking off your coat on a cold day, or pouring vinegar onto an open wound.
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 your enemy is hungry, give him something to eat; if he's thirsty, give him a drink of water.
No mabisbisin ti kabusormo, ikkam isuna iti taraon a kanenna, ken no mawaw isuna, ikkam iti danum nga inumenna,
22 This will make him ashamed as if he had burning coals piled on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
ta arigna a mangpalaka kadagiti beggang nga ikabilmo ti ulona, ket gunggunaannakanto ni Yahweh.
23 In the same way that the north wind brings rain, slandering people makes them angry.
Ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangpaunget kadagiti tattao ket kas iti angin manipud iti amianan a sigurado a mangiyeg iti tudo.
24 It's better to live in a corner of a housetop than to share a whole house with an argumentative wife.
Nasaysayaat ti agnaed iti suli ti tuktok ti balay ngem ti makikabbalay iti babai a mannakiapa.
25 Good news from a distant country is like cold water to an exhausted traveler.
Ti pakaiyarigan ti nasayaat a damag manipud iti adayo a pagilian ket kas iti nalammiis a danum iti tao a mawaw.
26 Good people who give in to the wicked are like a muddied spring or a polluted well.
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 It's not good to eat too much honey, or to want too much praise.
Saan a nasayaat ti mangan iti adu unay a diro; dayta ket kasla panangbirbirok iti adu a pakaitan-okan.
28 Someone without control is as exposed as a town whose walls have been breached.
Ti tao nga awanan panagteppel ket maiyarig iti siudad a nadadael ken awan paderna.
