< Proverbs 31 >

1 The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
Dagiti sasao ni Ari Lemuel— mensahe manipud iti Dios nga insuro kenkuana ti inana.
2 "Oh, my son. Oh, son of my womb. Oh, son of my vows.
Ania, anakko? Ken ania, anak ti aanakak? Ken ania, anak dagiti sapatak? —
3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
Saanmo nga ited ti pigsam kadagiti babbai, wenno dagiti wagasmo kadagiti mangdaddadael kadagiti ari.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for princes to take strong drink,
Saan a para kadagiti ari, Lemuel, saan a para kadagiti ari ti uminom iti arak, wenno kadagiti mangiturturay ti mangdamag nga, “Ayanna ti naingel a mainom?”
5 lest they drink, and forget the decree, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
Gapu ta no uminomda malipatanda dagiti naipaulog a linteg, ket saanda a bigbigen dagiti kalintegan dagiti amin a marigrigatan.
6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:
Ikkam iti naingel a mainom dagiti tattao a mapukpukaw, ken arak dagiti agsagsagaba.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Uminom isuna ket malipatanna ti kinapanglawna, ket saanna a malagip ti pakariribukanna.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
Agsaoka para kadagiti saan a makasao, para kadagiti amin a mapukpukaw.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."
Agsaoka ket mangukomka babaen iti pannakarukod iti nalinteg ken ikalintegam ti karbengan dagiti napanglaw ken agkasapulan a tattao.
10 Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.
Siasino ti makasarak iti asawa a babai nga adda kabaelanna? Napatpateg isuna nga adayo ngem kadagiti alahas.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
Agtaltalek kenkuana ti puso ti asawana, ken saanto pulos a pumanglaw ti asawana.
12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
Agar-aramid isuna iti nasasayaat a banbanag para iti asawana ken saan a kinadakes iti entero a panagbiagna.
13 She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
Mangpilpili isuna iti lupot a naaramid iti buok iti karnero ken de lana a lupot, ket agtrabaho isuna a siraragsak kadagiti imana.
14 She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
Maiyarig isuna iti agtagtagilako iti barko; mangisangsangpet isuna kadagiti taraon manipud iti adayo a lugar.
15 She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
Bumangon isuna iti rabii ket ikkanna iti taraon dagiti sangkabalayanna, ket iwarasna ti trabaho para kadagiti adipenna a babbai.
16 She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
Agbirok isuna iti talon ket gatangenna daytoy babaen iti bunga dagiti imana, agmula isuna iti ubas.
17 She girds her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
Kawkawesanna ti bagina iti pigsa ken pappapigsaenna dagiti imana.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night.
Ammona no anianto ti mangted kenkuana iti nasayaat a gungona, agpatpatnag a saan a maiddep ti silawna.
19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
Iyiggemna dagiti imana iti rueda, ken igemanna ti takbian.
20 She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
Iyunatna dagiti imana kadagiti napanglaw a tattao; iyunatna dagiti imana kadagiti agkasapulan a tattao.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
Saan isuna a mabuteng iti niebe para iti sangakabalayanna, ta nakawesan iti natingra a nalabaga ti sangakabalayanna.
22 She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Agar-aramid isuna kadagiti abbong ti pagidaanna, ket agkawkawes isuna iti lino a pagan-anay a purpura ti marisna.
23 Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
Mabigbigbig ti asawana kadagiti ruangan, tunggal makitugtugaw ti asawana kadagiti panglakayen iti daga.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
Agar-aramid isuna kadagiti lino a pagan-anay ket ilaklakona dagitoy, ken mangipapaay isuna iti barikes kadagiti agtagtakilako.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
Nakawesan isuna iti pigsa ken dayaw, ket katkatawaanna ti umay a tiempo.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
Iyungapna ti ngiwatna a nabuyugan iti kinasirib, ken adda ti linteg ti kinamanangaasi iti dilana.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn't eat the bread of idleness.
Banbantayanna dagiti wagas ti sangakabalayanna ket saanna a kanen ti tinapay ti kinasadut.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
Tumakder dagiti annakna ket awaganda isuna a nagasat; idaydayaw isuna ti asawana a kunkunana,
29 "Many women do noble things, but you excel them all."
“Adu a babbai ti nakaaramid iti nasayaat, ngem inabakmo ida amin.”
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Makaallilaw ti kinapintas, awan serserbi ti kinapintas, ngem maidaydayawto ti babai nga agbuteng kenni Yahweh.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands. Let her works praise her in the gates.
Itedyo kenkuana ti bunga ti aramidna ket bay-anyo nga idaydayaw koma isuna dagiti aramidna kadagiti ruangan.
