Proverbs 11
1 Yahweh detests [people who use] scales that do not weigh correctly; he is delighted with [those who use] correct weights on the scales.
Kagurgura ni Yahweh ti nakaur a timbangan, ngem pakaragsakanna ti apag-isu a dagsen.
2 [People who are] proud will [eventually] be disgraced; it is wise to be humble.
No rumsua ti panagpannakkel, umay met ti pannakaibabain, ngem iti kinapakumbaba umay ti kinasirib.
3 [People who are] good are guided by [doing what is] honest; those who are not honest will be ruined because of the wrong things that they do.
Ti kinamatalek dagiti nalinteg ti mangidalan kadakuada, ngem dagiti nakillo a wagwagas dagiti mangliliput ti mangdadael mismo kadakuada.
4 [Your] money will not help [you] on the day that [God] judges [and punishes people]; but if you live righteously, you will live a long time.
Awan serserbina ti kinabaknang iti aldaw ti pungtot, ngem ti panagaramid iti nalinteg iyadayonaka iti patay.
5 When people are honest and good, that will (direct their paths/show them what is right for them to do); but wicked [people will] experience disasters because of the evil things that they do.
Ti nalinteg nga aramid ti tao nga awan pakapilawanna ti mangpalinteg iti dalanna, ngem madadaelto dagiti nadangkes gapu iti bukodda a kinadangkes.
6 [God] rescues/protects righteous [people] because they (are honest/do what is right), but those who (are treacherous/cannot be trusted) will be trapped because of their being greedy.
Ti umno nga ugali dagiti mangay-ayo iti Dios ti mangpatalinaed kadakuada a natalged, ngem mapalab-ogan dagiti mangliliput babaen kadagiti kalikagumda.
7 When wicked [people] die, they cannot confidently expect to receive anything [that is good]; they expect that [their money] will help/save them, but it will not.
No adda matay a tao a nadangkes, agpukaw ti namnamana, ket awanto ti pagturongan ti namnama nga adda iti bilegna.
8 [Yahweh] rescues righteous [people] from their troubles/difficulties; instead, it is the wicked who will have troubles.
Ti agar-aramid iti nalinteg ket maiyadayo iti riribuk, ketdi, dumteng daytoy kadagiti nadangkes.
9 Godless people can ruin others by what they say [MTY], but righteous [people will] be saved by [their (own] good sense/being wise).
Babaen iti ngiwatna, dadaelen ti tao nga awanan iti dios ti kaarrubana, ngem babaen iti pannakaammo ket agtalinaed a natalged dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg.
10 When things go well for righteous [people], [the people in] [MTY] their city are happy, and they shout joyfully when wicked [people] die.
No rumang-ay dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg, agrag-o ti siudad; no mapukaw dagiti nadangkes, adda panagdirdir-i.
11 When righteous [people request God to] bless a city, that city will become great, but cities are ruined by what wicked [people] say [MTY].
Babaen kadagiti nasasayaat a sagut dagiti mangay-ayo iti Dios, maidayaw ti siudad; gapu iti ngiwat dagiti nadangkes, marba ti siudad.
12 It is foolish to despise others; those who (have good sense/are wise) do not say anything [to criticize others].
Awan ammo ti tao a manglais iti gayyemna, ngem naulimek ti tao nga addaan pannakaawat.
13 Those who (spread gossip/tell bad things about others) will tell your secrets [to others], but if there is someone whom you can trust, you can trust him to not tell your secrets [to others].
Ti siasinoman a mapmapan mangperperdi ket agipalpalgak kadagiti palimed, ngem ti napudno a tao ket saluadanna ti palimed.
14 A nation will be destroyed/ruined if it does not have [leaders] who guide it [wisely]; but if there are many [good] advisors, the nation remains secure.
No awan ti nasirib a panangidalan, madadael ti nasion, ngem umay ti panagballigi babaen iti panangiyuman kadagiti adu a mammagbaga.
15 If you promise a stranger that you will pay his debt [if he cannot pay it himself], you will regret it. You will be safe if you refuse to guarantee that you will pay someone else’s debts.
Siasinoman a mangpatalged iti utang ti ganggannaet ket sigurado nga agsagabanto, ngem natalged ti tao a kagurgurana ti agkari babaen iti kasta.
16 [People] honor/respect women who are kind/gracious; ruthless/violent people may get a lot of money, [but that is all that they will get].
Ti naparabur a babai, magun-odna ti pammadayaw, ngem dagiti naulpit a tattao, petpetpetanda ti kinabaknang.
17 Those who are kind benefit themselves [because others will be kind to them], but those who are cruel will hurt themselves [because others will be cruel to them].
Ti naasi a tao gunggunaanna ti bagina, ngem ti naulpit a tao saksaktanna ti bagina.
18 If wicked people earn a lot of money, that will deceive them [because they will not keep it for very long], but those who do what is right will surely be rewarded [by God forever].
Agulbod ti nadangkes a tao tapno magun-odna ti gunggunana, ngem ti tao nga agmula iti umno ket apitenna ti supapak ti kinapudno.
19 Those who always do what is right will live [a long/happy life], but those who insist on doing what is wrong will not live [very long].
Ti napudno a tao nga agar-aramid iti umno ket agbiag, ngem ti tao a mangkamkamat iti kinadakes ket matay.
20 Yahweh hates those who are always thinking about doing evil things, but he is delighted with those who always do what is right.
Kagurgura ni Yahweh dagiti dakes ti pusoda, ngem pakaragsakanna dagiti tattao nga awan pakababalawan dagiti wagwagasda.
21 It is certain that [Yahweh] will punish evil people and that righteous people will escape [from being punished].
Sigurado daytoy—madusanto dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem natalgedto dagiti kaputotan dagiti agar-aramid iti umno.
22 [It is] ([unsuitable/not proper/disgusting]) for a beautiful woman not to know what is right to do, like [SIM] [it is unsuitable/disgusting] for a pig to have a gold ring in its snout/nose.
Kasla aritus a balitok iti subsob ti baboy ti napintas a babai nga awanan pannakaawat.
23 When the things that righteous people want happen, it brings good [to them and to others], but when the wicked get what they want, it causes everyone else to become angry.
Dagiti tarigagay dagiti agaramid iti umno ket agbanag a nasayaat, ngem pungtot laeng ti manamnama dagiti nadangkes a tattao.
24 Some people give [their money] generously [to poor people], but they become richer [in spite of that], and some people hold tightly to their money, but they still become poor [in spite of that].
Adda maysa a tao a managmula iti bukel— ad-addunto pay ti maapitna; adda met sabali saan a managmula, pumanglaw isuna.
25 Those who give generously [to others] will prosper; if you help others, [they/someone] will help you, too.
Ti naparabur a tao ket rumang-ay, ken ti tao a manangted iti danum iti sabali ket maaddanto iti danum a para iti bagina.
26 People curse/despise someone who hoards his grain [and does not sell it], waiting to get a higher/bigger price for it, but they praise someone who sells it [when people need it, even when the price is not high].
Ilunodto dagiti tattao ti tao nga agkedked nga aglako iti bukel, ngem mabalangatan iti nasasayaat a sagsagut ti ulo ti tao nga agilaklako iti daytoy.
27 If you sincerely want to [do what is] right, [people] will respect you, but if you are wanting to cause trouble, trouble is what you will get.
Ti tao a napasnek nga agbiruk iti kinaimbag ket makasarak pay iti parabur, ngem ti tao a mangsapsapul iti dakes ket masarakannanto ti dakes.
28 Those who trust in their money will [disappear like the] withered [leaves that fall from the trees], but righteous [people] will keep going strong, like green leaves [in the summer].
Madadael dagiti agtalek kadagiti kinabaknangda, ngem kas iti bulong ket lumangto dagiti agar-aramid iti umno.
29 Those who bring troubles to their families will inherit nothing [MET] [from them], and those who do foolish things [like that] will [some day] become the servants of wise [people].
Ti tao a mangmangyeg iti riribuk iti balayna ket agtawiddanto iti angin, ken ti maag ket agbalinto nga adipen ti tao a nasirib.
30 Those who live righteously will live [for a long time], but [those who act] violently will destroy [their own] lives (OR, those who are wise will have many people come and live with them).
Dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket kaslanto iti kayo ti biag, ngem ti kinaranggas ket ik-ikkatenna ti biag.
31 [Sometimes] righteous [people] are rewarded [here] on the earth, but it is much more certain that very wicked people [DOU] [will be rewarded by being punished].
No dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket aw-awatenda ti maiparbeng kadakuada, kasta met ngarud ti nadangkes ken ti managbasol!
