< Proverbs 22 >

1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
Rumbeng a ti nasayaat a nagan ti pilien saan ket a tay adu a kinabaknang, ken nasaysayaat ti pabor ngem ti pirak ken balitok.
2 The rich and poor meet together: YHWH is the maker of them all.
Addaan kadagitoy dagiti nabaknang ken nakurapay a tattao - ni Yahweh ti nangaramid amin kadakuada.
3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Ti masirib a tao ket makitana ti riribuk ket iliklikna ti bagina, ngem sarakusuken daytoy dagiti tattao nga awan kapadasanna ket agsagabada gapu iti daytoy.
4 By humility and the fear of YHWH are riches, and honour, and life.
Ti gunggona iti panagpakumbaba ken panagbuteng ken ni Yahweh ket kinabaknang, dayaw, ken biag.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
Adda sisiit ken silsilo iti dalan dagiti dakes; ti siasinoman a mangsaluad iti biagna ket maiyadayo kadagitoy.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Isurom ti ubing iti wagas a rumbeng a panagbiagna, ket inton dumakkel isuna, saanto isuna a sumiasi iti dayta a panursuro.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Iturayan dagiti nabaknang a tattao dagiti napanglaw, ken ti nakautang ket tagabu ti nagpautang.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
Ti agimula iti kinadangkes ket agapitto iti riribuk, ket awanton ti serserbi ti baot ti pungtotna.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Mabendisionanto ti managparabur a tao, gapu ta ibingbingayanna iti tinapayna dagiti napanglaw.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
Papanawem ti mananglais, ket mapukaw ti panagririri; sumardeng dagiti panagsusuppiat ken panangin-insulto.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the favour of his lips the king shall be his friend.
Ti mangayat iti nasin-aw a puso ken nasayaat ti panagsasaona, ket agbalinto a gayemna ti ari.
12 The eyes of YHWH preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
Kanayon a sipsiputan dagiti mata ni Yahweh ti pannakaammo, ngem daddadaelenna dagiti sasao dagiti mangliliput.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
Kuna ti sadut a tao, “Adda leon iti kalsada! Matayak la ketdi no rummuarak.”
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of YHWH shall fall therein.
Ti ngiwat ti mannakikamalala a babai ket kasla nauneg nga abut; mapasgedan ti pungtot ni Yahweh iti siasinoman a matnag iti daytoy.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Siguden nga adda kinamaag iti puso ti maysa nga ubing, ngem ikkaten daytoy ti baut ti panangisuro.
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
Ti mangidaddadanes kadagiti nakurapay a tattao tapno umadu ti kinabaknangna, wenno ti mangmangted kadagiti nabaknang a tattao, ket pumanglawto.
17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
Ipangagmo ken denggem dagiti sasao dagiti masirib, ket imulam dita pusom ti pannakaammo nga isursurok,
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
ta nasayaat para kenka no salimetmetam dagitoy iti kaunggam, no nakasagana amin dagitoy kadagiti bibigmo.
19 That thy trust may be in YHWH, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
Tapno ti panagtalekmo ket adda kenni Yahweh, isurok dagitoy ita kenka-uray pay kenka.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
Saan kadi a nangisuratak para kenka iti tallopulo a bilbilin ken pannakaammo,
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
a mangisuro kenka iti kinapudno nga adda kadagitoy a sasao, tapno makaitedka kadagiti nasayaat a sungbat kadagiti nangibaon kenka?
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
Saanmo a takawan ti napanglaw a tao, gapu ta napanglaw isuna, wenno ibaddebaddek dagiti marigrigat nga adda iti ruangan,
23 For YHWH will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
ta ninto Yahweh ti mangikalintegan iti kasoda, ket pukawennanto ti biag dagiti nagtakaw kadakuada.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
Saanka a makigayyem iti tao nga iturturayan ti unget, ken saanka a makikuykuyog iti tao a managpungpungtot,
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
amangan no masursuromton dagiti wagasna, ket saankaton a makalapsut iti silo.
26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
Saanka nga agkari no maipapan iti kuarta, ken saanka a mangted iti pammaneknek iti utang ti sabali.
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
No saankanto a makabayad, ania koma ngay ti makalapped iti tao a nagkariam inton alaenna ti katre a pagid-iddaam?
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
Saanmo nga ikkaten ti nagkakauna a mohon nga impasdek dagiti ammayo.
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Makakitaka ngata iti tao a nalaing iti trabahona? Iti sangoanan ngarud dagiti ar-ari ti pagtakderanna; saan nga iti sangoanan dagiti kadawyan a tattao.
