< Proverbs 19 >

1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
Nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao nga agbibiag iti kinalinteg ngem iti maysa a maag a dakes ti panagsasaona.
2 It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.
Kasta met, a saan a nasayaat ti agtarigagay nga awanan iti pannakaammo, ken ti tumaray a nakaparpartak ket maiyaw-awan iti dalan.
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against YHWH.
Ti kinamaag ti maysa a tao ti mangdadael iti biagna, ken busbusorenna ni Yahweh.
4 Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
Umado ti gagayyem gapu iti kinabaknang, ngem maisina ti nakurapay a tao kadagiti gagayyemna.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ken saan a makalibas ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
6 Many will seek the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
Adunto dagiti dumawat iti pabor manipud iti mannangited a tao, ken tunggal maysa ket gayyem ti manangted iti sagut.
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him: how much more do his friends avoid him. He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
Amin a kakabsat ti nakurapay a tao ket kagurada isuna; ad-adda pay ngarud nga ad-adaywan isuna dagiti gagayyemna! Aw-awaganna ida, ngem awandan.
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
Ti mangnaynayon iti kinasiribna ket ipatpategna ti bukodna a biag; ti mangsalsalimetmet iti pannakaawat ket makabirok iti naimbag.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ngem mapukaw ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
Saan a rumbeng nga agbiag iti narang-ay ti maysa a maag - ad-adda a saan a rumbeng nga iturayan ti maysa a tagabu dagiti prinsipe.
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
Ti pannakaammo ti mangmangted iti kabaelan iti maysa a tao tapno saan a nalaka a makaunget, ken pakaidayawanna ti panangpalabasna iti nagbasolanda kenkuana.
12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
Ti pungtot ti ari ket kasla panagngernger ti urbon a leon, ngem ti asina ket kasla linnaaw kadagiti karuotan.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping.
Ti maag nga anak ket pakaibabainan ti amana, ken ti dumanayudom nga asawa a babai ket kas iti danum nga agtedtedted a kanayon.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from YHWH.
Ti balay ken kinabaknang ket matawtawid manipud kadagiti nagannak, ngem ti nanakem nga asawa a babai ket aggapu kenni Yahweh.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Ti kinasadut ket paturogenna ti tao, ngem agbisin ti tao a saanna a kayat ti agtrabaho.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
Ti tao a mangtungtungpal iti bilin ket salsaluadanna ti biagna, ngem matay ti tao a saan a mangutob iti maipanggep kadagiti wagasna.
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to YHWH; he will reward him.
Ti siasinoman a naasi kadagiti nakurapay ket kasla padpadawatanna ni Yahweh, ket bayadanto ni Yahweh isuna kadagiti inaramidna.
18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
Disiplinaam ti anakmo kabayatan nga adda pay namnama, ken saanmo koma nga itulok a mapukaw ti biagna.
19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
Masapul a bayadan ti tao a managpungtot ti pannusa; no ispalem isuna, masapul nga aramidem daytoy iti mamindua.
20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
Denggem ti balakad ken awatem ti pannursuro, tapno sumiribka agingga iti pagpatinggaan ti biagmo.
21 There are many plans in a man's heart, but YHWH's counsel will prevail.
Adu dagiti plano iti puso ti maysa a tao, ngem ti plano ni Yahweh ti matungpal.
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
Ti kinapudno ti tartarigagayan ti maysa a tao, ken nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao ngem ti ulbod.
23 The fear of YHWH leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
Ti panangidaydayaw kenni Yahweh ti mangiturturong kadagiti tattao iti biag; mapnek ti siasinoman nga addaan kadagitoy ken saan a madangran.
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
Idisso ti sadut ti imana iti pinggan; a saanna payen a maingato daytoy nga isubo iti ngiwatna.
25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
No dangram ti mananglais, agbalin a nanakem ti nengneng; ilintegmo ti adda pannakaawatna ket magun-odnanto ti pannakaammo.
26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother, is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
Ti tao a taktakawanna ti amana ken pagtaltalawenna ti inana ket anak a mangipapaay iti pakaibabainan ken pakaum-umsian.
27 If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
No isardengmo ti dumngeg iti pannursuro, anakko, malipatam dagiti sasao iti pannakaammo.
28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
Lalaisen ti dakes a saksi ti hustisia, ken tiltilmunen ti ngiwat dagiti nadangkes ti basol.
29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
Nakasaganan ti panangukom para kadagiti mananglais, ken ti saplit para kadagiti bukot dagiti maag.
