Proverbs 14
1 Wise women build houses: but a foolish one digs [hers] down with her hands.
Ti masirib a babai ur-urnosenna ti balayna, ngem ti maag a babai ket daddadaelenna daytoy babaen kadagiti mismo wagasna.
2 He that walks uprightly fears the Lord; but he that is perverse in his ways shall be dishonored.
Ti agbibiag a nalinteg ket addaan iti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh, ngem ti saan a napudno iti wagasna ket um-umsienna ni Yahweh.
3 Out of the mouth of fools [comes] a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise preserve them.
Manipud iti ngiwat ti maag tumaud ti kinatangsitna, ngem dagiti bibig dagiti masirib ti mangsalaknib kadakuada.
4 Where no oxen are, the cribs are clean; but where there is abundant produce, the strength of the ox is apparent.
No awan ti baka, nadalus ti kulloong, ngem mabalin a maadda ti nawadwad nga apit babaen iti pigsa ti baka.
5 A faithful witness does not lie; but an unjust witness kindles falsehoods.
Ti napudno a saksi saan nga agul-ulbod, ngem ti palso a saksi agisawsawng iti inuulbod.
6 You shall seek wisdom with bad men, and shall not find it; but discretion is easily available with the prudent.
Ti tao a mangipagpagarup a nalalaing isuna ngem iti dadduma ket kasla mangbirbiruk iti kinasirib ket awan mabirukanna, ngem nalaka nga umay ti pannakaammo iti tao a masirib.
7 All things are adverse to a foolish man; but wise lips are the weapons of discretion.
Adaywam ti maag a tao, ta awan ti maadalmo kenkuana.
8 The wisdom of the prudent will understand their ways; but the folly of fools leads astray.
Ti kinasirib ti nanakem a tao ket ti panangawatna iti bukodna a biag, ngem ti kinamaag dagiti maag ket panangallilaw.
9 The houses of transgressors will need purification; but the houses of the just are acceptable.
Manglalais dagiti maag no maidaton ti daton a para iti basol, ngem pagbibingayan dagiti nalinteg ti pabor.
10 [If] a man's mind is intelligent, his soul is sorrowful; and when he rejoices, he has no fellowship with pride.
Ammo ti puso ti bukodna a kinasaem, ket awan ganggannaet a makabingay iti rag-ona.
11 The houses of ungodly men shall be utterly destroyed; but the tabernacles of them that walk uprightly shall stand.
Madadael ti balay dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem rumangpaya ti tolda dagiti nalinteg a tattao.
12 There is a way which seems to be right with men, but the ends of it reach to the depths of hell. (questioned)
Adda dalan a kasla nalinteg iti panagkita ti maysa a tao, ngem ti pagtungpalanna ket iti laeng patay.
13 Grief mingles not with mirth; and joy in the end comes to grief.
Mabalin nga agkatawa ti maysa a puso ngem makarikna latta ti ut-ot, ken mabalin a ti rag-o ket agtungpal laeng iti panagladingit.
14 A stout-hearted [man] shall be filled with his own ways; and a good man with his own thoughts.
Gun-odento ti tao a saan a napudno ti maiparbeng iti wagasna, ngem gun-odento ti nasayaat a tao ti rumbeng kenkuana.
15 The simple believes every word: but the prudent man betakes himself to afterthought.
Ti tao a saan a nasursuroan ket mamati iti amin a banbanag, ngem ti nanakem a tao ket ad-adalenna dagiti addangna.
16 A wise man fears, and departs from evil; but the fool trusts in himself, and joins himself with the transgressor.
Ti masirib a tao ket addaan iti panagbuteng ken ad-adaywanna ti dakes, ngem sitatalek ti maag a mangikkat iti ballaag.
17 A passionate man acts inconsiderately; but a sensible man bears up under many things.
Ti tao a nalaka nga agunget ket agar-aramid kadagiti minamaag a banbanag, ken ti tao nga agar-aramid kadagiti dakes a panggep ket magurgura.
18 Fools shall have mischief for their portion; but the prudent shall take fast hold of understanding.
Tawiden dagiti saan a nasursuroan a tattao ti kinanengneng ngem napalikmutan iti pannakaammo dagiti nanakem a tattao.
19 Evil men shall fall before the good; and the ungodly shall attend at the gates of the righteous.
Dagiti dakes ket agruknoyto iti sangoanan dagiti naimbag, ken dagiti nadangkes agruknoyto kadagiti ruangan dagiti nalinteg.
20 Friends will hate poor friends; but the friends of the rich are many.
Ti tao a napanglaw ket magurgura uray pay kadagiti kakaduana, ngem ti tao a nabaknang ket adu ti gagayyemna.
21 He that dishonors the needy sins: but he that has pity on the poor is most blessed.
Agbasbasol ti tao a mangipakpakita iti gurana iti kaarrubana, ngem naragsak ti tao a mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti napanglaw.
22 They that go astray devise evils: but the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not understand mercy and truth: but compassion and faithfulness are with the framers of good.
Saan aya a dagiti agpangpanggep iti kinadakes ket maiyaw-awan? Ngem dagiti agpangpanggep iti nasayaat ket umawat iti kinapudno iti tulag ken kinamatalek.
23 With every one [who is] careful there is abundance: but the pleasure-taking and indolent shall be in lack.
Tumaud ti gunggona manipud kadagiti amin a nagbannogan, ngem no ti adda laeng ket sao, mangiturong daytoy iti kinapanglaw.
24 A prudent man is the crown of the wise: but the occupation of fools is evil.
Ti balangat dagiti masirib a tattao ket ti kinabaknangda, ngem ti kinamaag dagiti maag ket mangmangiyeg kadakuada iti ad-adda pay a kinamaag.
25 A faithful witness shall deliver a soul from evil: but a deceitful [man] kindles falsehoods.
Ti napudno a saksi ket is-ispalenna ti biag, ngem ti palso a saksi ket agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and he leaves his children a support.
No ti maysa a tao ket agbuteng kenni Yahweh, addaan met isuna iti panagtalek kenni Yahweh; dagitoy a banbanag ket kaslanto natibker a lugar a salaknib para kadagiti annak dagiti tattao.
27 The commandment of the Lord is a fountain of life; and it causes [men] to turn aside from the snare of death.
Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket maiyarig a burayok ti biag, tapno maadaywan ti tao dagiti silo ti patay.
28 In a populous nation is the glory of a king: but in the failure of people is the ruin of a prince.
Ti dayag ti ari ket masarakan kadagiti adu a tattaona, ngem no awan ti tattao ket madadael ti prinsipe.
29 A man slow to wrath abounds in wisdom: but a man of impatient spirit is very foolish.
Ti tao a naanus ket addaan dakkel a pannakaawat, ngem ti tao a nalaka nga agpungtot ket mangitantan-ok iti kinamaag.
30 A meek-spirited man is a healer of the heart: but a sensitive heart is a corruption of the bones.
Ti nasayaat a panagpanpanunot ket biag ti bagi, ngem runrunoten ti apal dagiti tultulang.
31 He that oppresses the needy provokes his Maker: but he that honors him has pity upon the poor.
Ti mangidaddadanes kadagiti napanglaw ket ilunlunodna ti Nangparsua kenkuana, ngem ti mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti agkasapulan ket mangpadpadayaw kenni Yahweh.
32 The ungodly shall be driven away in his wickedness: but he who is secure in his own holiness is just.
Ti nadangkes a tao ket ipabpababa dagiti dakes nga aramidna, ngem ti nalinteg a tao ket addaan iti pagkamangan uray iti patay.
33 There is wisdom in the good heart of a man: but in the heart of fools it is not discerned.
Agtaltalinaed ti sirib iti puso ti addaan pannakaawat, ngem uray kadagiti maag ket ipakpakaammona ti bagina.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation: but sins diminish tribes.
Ti panagaramid iti umno ti mangitantan-ok iti nasion, ngem ti basol ket pakaibabainan ti siasinoman a tao.
35 An understanding servant is acceptable to a king; and by his good behavior he removes disgrace.
Ti pabor ti ari ket adda iti adipen a nanakem, ngem ti ungetna ket maipaay iti agar-aramid iti pakaibabainan.
