Proverbs 14
1 The wise among women buildeth her house; but the foolish pulleth it down with her own hands.
Ti masirib a babai ur-urnosenna ti balayna, ngem ti maag a babai ket daddadaelenna daytoy babaen kadagiti mismo wagasna.
2 In his uprightness walketh he that feareth the Lord; but perverse in his ways is he that despiseth him.
Ti agbibiag a nalinteg ket addaan iti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh, ngem ti saan a napudno iti wagasna ket um-umsienna ni Yahweh.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a stick [for his] pride; but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
Manipud iti ngiwat ti maag tumaud ti kinatangsitna, ngem dagiti bibig dagiti masirib ti mangsalaknib kadakuada.
4 Where no oxen are, is the crib clean; but the abundance of harvests is [only] through the strength of the ox.
No awan ti baka, nadalus ti kulloong, ngem mabalin a maadda ti nawadwad nga apit babaen iti pigsa ti baka.
5 A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness constantly uttereth lies.
Ti napudno a saksi saan nga agul-ulbod, ngem ti palso a saksi agisawsawng iti inuulbod.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and there is none; but knowledge is easy to the man of understanding.
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 Go far away from a foolish man, else thou wilt [never] know the lips of knowledge.
Adaywam ti maag a tao, ta awan ti maadalmo kenkuana.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; but the folly of fools is deceit.
Ti kinasirib ti nanakem a tao ket ti panangawatna iti bukodna a biag, ngem ti kinamaag dagiti maag ket panangallilaw.
9 The fool maketh a mockery of guilt; but among the upright there is good will.
Manglalais dagiti maag no maidaton ti daton a para iti basol, ngem pagbibingayan dagiti nalinteg ti pabor.
10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and with its joy can no stranger intermeddle.
Ammo ti puso ti bukodna a kinasaem, ket awan ganggannaet a makabingay iti rag-ona.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed: but the tent of the upright will flourish.
Madadael ti balay dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem rumangpaya ti tolda dagiti nalinteg a tattao.
12 There is many a way which seemeth even before a man; but its end are ways unto death.
Adda dalan a kasla nalinteg iti panagkita ti maysa a tao, ngem ti pagtungpalanna ket iti laeng patay.
13 Even in laughter the heart feeleth pain; and at its end joy is sorrow.
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 The backslider in heart will have enough of his own ways; and from him [departeth] the good men.
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 believeth every word; but the prudent man understandeth his steps.
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 is fearful, and departeth from evil; but the fool exciteth himself, and is confident.
Ti masirib a tao ket addaan iti panagbuteng ken ad-adaywanna ti dakes, ngem sitatalek ti maag a mangikkat iti ballaag.
17 He that is soon angry committeth folly; and a man of wicked devices is hated.
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 The simple inherit folly; but the prudent crown themselves with knowledge.
Tawiden dagiti saan a nasursuroan a tattao ti kinanengneng ngem napalikmutan iti pannakaammo dagiti nanakem a tattao.
19 The bad sink down before the good; and the wicked are at the gates of the righteous.
Dagiti dakes ket agruknoyto iti sangoanan dagiti naimbag, ken dagiti nadangkes agruknoyto kadagiti ruangan dagiti nalinteg.
20 Even to his own neighbor is the poor man hateful; 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 despiseth his neighbor is a sinner; but he that is gracious to the poor—happiness attend him!
Agbasbasol ti tao a mangipakpakita iti gurana iti kaarrubana, ngem naragsak ti tao a mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti napanglaw.
22 Behold, those who contrive evil are in error; but kindness and truth attend on those who contrive what is 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 In all painful labor there is profit; but mere words of the lips [lead] only to want.
Tumaud ti gunggona manipud kadagiti amin a nagbannogan, ngem no ti adda laeng ket sao, mangiturong daytoy iti kinapanglaw.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches; but the folly of fools is [only] folly.
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 deliverer of souls is the true witness; but a witness of deceit uttereth lies.
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 the strong confidence [of man], and unto his children will it be a place of shelter.
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 fear of the Lord is the source of life, [teaching] to avoid the snares of death.
Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket maiyarig a burayok ti biag, tapno maadaywan ti tao dagiti silo ti patay.
28 In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the want of a population is the downfall of the prince.
Ti dayag ti ari ket masarakan kadagiti adu a tattaona, ngem no awan ti tattao ket madadael ti prinsipe.
29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit holdeth up [to view] his folly.
Ti tao a naanus ket addaan dakkel a pannakaawat, ngem ti tao a nalaka nga agpungtot ket mangitantan-ok iti kinamaag.
30 A sound heart is the life of the body; but jealousy is the rottenness of the bones.
Ti nasayaat a panagpanpanunot ket biag ti bagi, ngem runrunoten ti apal dagiti tultulang.
31 He that oppresseth the poor blasphemeth his Maker; but he that is gracious to the needy honoreth him.
Ti mangidaddadanes kadagiti napanglaw ket ilunlunodna ti Nangparsua kenkuana, ngem ti mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti agkasapulan ket mangpadpadayaw kenni Yahweh.
32 Through his own evil is the wicked thrust down; but even in his death doth the righteous have confidence.
Ti nadangkes a tao ket ipabpababa dagiti dakes nga aramidna, ngem ti nalinteg a tao ket addaan iti pagkamangan uray iti patay.
33 In the heart of the man of understanding resteth wisdom: but [the little which is] in the bosom of fools is made known.
Agtaltalinaed ti sirib iti puso ti addaan pannakaawat, ngem uray kadagiti maag ket ipakpakaammona ti bagina.
34 Righteousness exalteth a people; but the disgrace of nations is sin.
Ti panagaramid iti umno ti mangitantan-ok iti nasion, ngem ti basol ket pakaibabainan ti siasinoman a tao.
35 The king's favor is bestowed on an intelligent servant; but his wrath is against him that deserveth shame.
Ti pabor ti ari ket adda iti adipen a nanakem, ngem ti ungetna ket maipaay iti agar-aramid iti pakaibabainan.
