Proverbs 13
1 Children who are wise (pay attention/heed it) when their parents discipline/correct them; but foolish children do not pay attention when someone rebukes them [for their bad behavior].
Dinidinig ng pantas na anak ang turo ng kaniyang ama: nguni't hindi dinidinig ng mangduduwahagi ang saway.
2 Good people are rewarded [IDM] for the good things [MET] that they say, but those who desire to deceive others are [very] eager to act violently.
Ang tao ay kakain ng mabuti ayon sa bunga ng kaniyang bibig: nguni't ang magdaraya ay kakain ng karahasan,
3 Those who are [very] careful about what they say [MTY] will live a long life; those who talk (without thinking/too much) will ruin themselves.
Siyang nagiingat ng kaniyang bibig, nagiingat ng kaniyang buhay: nguni't siyang nagbubukang maluwang ng kaniyang mga labi ay magkakaroon ng kapahamakan.
4 People who are lazy want things very much, but they will not get anything [HYP]. People who work hard will get all that they want.
Ang tamad ay nagnanasa, at walang anoman: nguni't ang kaluluwa ng masipag ay tataba.
5 Righteous/Honest people hate/detest lies, but what wicked people do (is very disgraceful/stinks) [DOU].
Ang matuwid ay nagtatanim sa pagsisinungaling: nguni't ang masama ay kasuklamsuklam, at napapahiya.
6 The behavior [PRS] of those who always do what is right will protect them, but sinful [behavior will] ruin wicked people.
Bumabantay ang katuwiran sa matuwid na lakad; nguni't inilulugmok ng kasamaan ang makasalanan.
7 Some people who have nothing pretend to be rich, but other people who are very rich pretend to be poor.
May nagpapakayaman, gayon ma'y walang anoman: may nagpapakadukha, gayon ma'y may malaking kayamanan.
8 Rich people are able to pay people who want to kill them, [with the result that they will be protected, not killed], but poor people [do not have to worry about that because] no one threatens to kill them.
Ang katubusan sa buhay ng tao ay siyang kaniyang mga kayamanan: nguni't ang dukha ay hindi nakikinig sa banta.
9 Righteous [people] are like a lamp [MET] that shines brightly, but wicked [people] are like [MET] a lamp that will [soon] be extinguished.
Ang ilaw ng matuwid ay nagagalak: nguni't ang ilawan ng masama ay papatayin.
10 [People] who are arrogant/proud [always] cause strife; those who are wise ask [other people] for good advice.
Sa kapalaluan, ang dumarating ay pagtatalo lamang: nguni't ang karunungan ay nangasa nangaturuang maigi.
11 Those who acquire a lot of money quickly [by doing what is wrong, probably] will lose it [quickly], but if people earn money slowly, the amount of money they have will increase.
Ang kayamanang tinangkilik sa walang kabuluhan ay huhupa: nguni't siyang nagpipisan sa paggawa ay mararagdagan.
12 When people do not receive the things that they are expecting to receive, (it causes them to despair/they become very sad); but if you receive what you are desiring to get, that [will be like a tree] [MET] [whose fruit gives you] life (OR, that will cause you to be joyful).
Ang pagasa na nagluluwat ay nagpapasakit ng puso: nguni't pagka ang nasa ay dumarating ay punong kahoy ng buhay.
13 Those who despise [the good] advice [that others give them] are bringing ruin on themselves; those who pay attention to that advice will (be secure/succeed).
Sinomang humamak sa salita ay nagdadala ng kapahamakan sa sarili: nguni't siyang natatakot sa utos ay gagantihin.
14 What wise [people] teach is [like] a fountain whose [water] gives life [MET]; what they teach you will help you to escape when something dangerous is threatening to kill you [MET].
Ang kautusan ng pantas ay bukal ng buhay, upang lumayo sa mga silo ng kamatayan.
15 [People] respect those who have good sense, but those who cannot be trusted are on the road to being ruined/destroyed (OR, will have a lot of difficulties/troubles).
Ang mabuting kaunawaan ay nagbibigay lingap: nguni't ang lakad ng mananalangsang ay mahirap.
16 Those who have good sense always think carefully/wisely before they do something; foolish people show [by what they say and do] that they are foolish.
Bawa't mabait na tao ay gumagawang may kaalaman: nguni't ang mangmang ay nagkakalat ng kamangmangan.
17 Messengers who are not reliable cause trouble, but those who faithfully [deliver their messages] cause people to act peacefully.
Ang masamang sugo ay nahuhulog sa kasamaan: nguni't ang tapat na sugo ay kagalingan.
18 Those who refuse to pay attention when others discipline/correct them will become poor and disgraced; [people] respect those who accept it when they are rebuked [for their bad behavior].
Karalitaan at kahihiyan ang tatamuhin ng nagtatakuwil ng saway: nguni't siyang nakikinig ng saway ay magkakapuri.
19 It is delightful to receive what we desire; foolish people hate/refuse to turn away from doing evil.
Ang nasa na natupad ay matamis sa kaluluwa: nguni't kasuklamsuklam sa mga mangmang na humiwalay sa kasamaan.
20 Those who habitually associate with wise people become wise; those who (are close friends of/associate with) foolish people will (regret it/be ruined).
Lumalakad ka na kasama ng mga pantas na tao, at ikaw ay magiging pantas; nguni't ang kasama ng mga mangmang ay mapapariwara.
21 Sinners have trouble [PRS] wherever they go, but things will go well for righteous [people].
Ang kasamaan ay humahabol sa mga makasalanan; nguni't ang matuwid ay gagantihan ng mabuti.
22 When good people [die], their grandchildren inherit their money; but when sinners [die], the money that they had will end up in the hands of righteous [people].
Ang mabuti ay nagiiwan ng mana sa mga anak ng kaniyang mga anak; at ang kayamanan ng makasalanan ay nalalagay na ukol sa matuwid.
23 [Sometimes] poor [people’s] fields produce plenty of food, but unjust people take away all that food.
Maraming pagkain ang nasa pagsasaka ng dukha: nguni't may napapahamak dahil sa kawalan ng kaganapan.
24 Those who do not punish their children [for bad behavior] do not [really] love them; those who love their children start to discipline them when the children are still young.
Siyang naguurong ng kaniyang pamalo ay napopoot sa kaniyang anak: nguni't siyang umiibig ay nagpaparusang maminsan-minsan.
25 Righteous [people] have enough food to eat and be satisfied, but the stomachs of wicked [people] [SYN] are [always] empty.
Ang matuwid ay kumakain hanggang sa kabusugan ng kaniyang kaluluwa; nguni't ang tiyan ng masama ay mangangailangan.
