Proverbs 27
1 Do not boast about [what you will do] tomorrow, because you do not know what will happen [PRS] on any day.
Saanmo nga ipaspasindayag ti maipapan inton bigat, ta saanmo nga ammo ti mabalin a maiyeg ti maysa nga aldaw.
2 Do not praise yourself [MTY, PRS]; allow others to praise you. If someone else praises you, that is okay.
Bay-am a sabali ti mangidayaw kenka ket saan a ta bukodmo a ngiwat; maysa a ganggannaet ket saan a dagiti bukodmo a bibig.
3 [It causes pain to our bodies to carry heavy] stones or [a pail full of] sand, but doing something stupid/foolish [can cause] great [pain to other people’s spirits.]
Panunotem ti kinadagsen ti maysa a bato ken ti dagsen ti darat, ket nadagdagsen ngem kadagitoy a dua ti parikut nga ipaay ti maysa a maag.
4 It is cruel to be angry [with others], and our being angry sometimes destroys [others], but being jealous of someone is [RHQ] often more cruel than that.
Adda kinaranggas iti pungtot ken layus iti unget, ngem siasino ti makatakder iti sangoanan ti imon?
5 It is better to correct someone openly than to show that you l don’t love that person [by not correcting him].
Nasaysayaat ti nabatad a panangtubngar ngem iti nalimed a panagayat.
6 If a friend criticizes you, [he is a good friend and] you can trust him; but if one of your enemies kisses you, he is [probably wanting to] deceive you.
Napudno dagiti sugat nga impaay ti maysa a gayyem, ngem mabalin nga agkannaka iti kasta unay ti maysa a kabusor.
7 When someone’s stomach is full, he does not want to eat honey; but when someone is [very] hungry, he thinks that [even] bitter things taste sweet.
Ti tao a napnek a nangan ket saannna a pagan-ano uray ti diro, ngem iti mabisin a tao, agbalin a nasam-it dagiti amin a napait.
8 Anyone who wanders [far] from his home/family is like [SIM] a bird that is far from its nest.
Ti billit nga umadayo manipud iti umukna ket maiyarig iti tao a maiyaw-awan manipud iti pagnanaedanna.
9 [Putting olive] oil and perfume on a person’s skin causes him to feel good, but having a friend [who gives] good advice [is even better].
Ti bangbanglo ken insenso ket pagrag-oenda ti puso, ngem nasay-sayaat ti kinadungngo ti gayyem ngem iti balakadna.
10 Do not neglect your friends or your parents’ friends; and at a time when you are experiencing a disaster, do not go to a relative [who lives far away to request his help]; someone who lives near you can help you more than relatives who live far away.
Saanmo a baybay-an ti gayyemmo ken ti ama ti gayyemmo, ken saanka a mapmapan iti balay ti kabsatmo iti aldaw ti panagrigatmo. Nasaysayaat ti kaarruba nga adda iti asidegmo ngem iti kabsatmo nga adda iti adayo.
11 My child/son, cause me to be happy by becoming wise, in order that I will [know how to] reply to those who would criticize me [about your behavior].
Agbalinka koma a masirib, anakko, ket pagrag-oem ti pusok; ket sungbatakto ti tao a manglalais kaniak.
12 Those who have good sense will realize that there is something dangerous ahead, and they will hide; those who do not have good sense [just] keep going, and later they will suffer because of [doing] that.
Ti naannad a tao ket makitana ti riribuk ket aglemmeng isuna, ngem agtuloy dagiti awanan kapadasan a tattao ken agsagabada gapu iti daytoy.
13 [You deserve to] have your property taken from you if you [foolishly] promise to a stranger (OR, a strange woman) that you will pay what she owes if she is unable to pay it [DOU].
Mangalaka iti kawes no ti makinkukua iti daytoy ket mangpatalged iti kuarta nga utang ti maysa a ganggannaet; ken alaem isuna no patalgedanna ti babai a mannakikamalala.
14 If you rise early in the morning and call out a greeting to your neighbor [while he is still sleeping], he will consider it to be a curse, [not a blessing].
No adda mangbendision iti kaarrubana babaen iti napigsa a timekna iti bigbigat, maibilangto a lunod dayta a pamendision!
15 [Having] a wife that is [constantly] nagging is as [bad as listening] to rain continually dripping on a rainy day.
Ti mannakiapa nga asawa a babai ket maiyarig iti saan nga agressat a panagtedted ti tudo iti matutudo nga aldaw;
16 [Trying] to restrain/stop her [from doing that] is as [difficult] [SIM] [as trying] to stop the wind or [trying] to hold oil in your hand.
ti panangan-anawa kenkuana ket kasla panangigawgawid iti angin, wenno panangpadpadas a mangtaya iti lana babaen iti kannawan nga ima.
17 [We can use one] iron tool to sharpen [another] iron [tool]; similarly [SIM], [when one person shares] what he is thinking, it can help other people [to think more clearly].
Ti landok, patademenna ti landok, kasta met a sursurroan ti maysa a tao ti gayyemna.
18 Those who take care of fig trees will have figs to eat; [similarly], servants who protect their master will be honored [by him].
Kanento ti tao ti bunga ti aywananna a kayo ti igos, ken maidayaw ti tao a mangsalsalaknib iti amona.
19 [When a person looks] in the water, he sees his own face; similarly [SIM], [when we look at] a person’s behavior, we know what he is thinking.
Mabalin a makitam iti danum ti rupa ti maysa a tao, kasta met mabalin a makita kadagiti aramid ti maysa a tao no ania ti adda iti pusona.
20 [It is as though] the place where the dead people are is always wanting more people to [die and] come there; and humans [SYN] are always wanting to acquire more things, [too]. (Sheol h7585)
Saan a pulos a mapnek ti lubong ti sheol ken ni Abadon, kasta met a saan pulos a mapnek dagiti mata ti tao. (Sheol h7585)
21 [Workers put] silver and gold in a very hot furnace [to burn out what is impure], and [SIM] people learn [what we are really like when they see how we react when people] praise us.
Ti pagguguran ket para iti pirak, ti hurno ket para iti balitok, ken mapadpadas ti tao no maidayaw isuna.
22 Even if you beat/crush a fool severely [like] [MET] you pulverize grain with a pestle, you [probably] will not be able to cause him to stop (being foolish/doing foolish things).
Urayno tumekem ti maysa a maag babaen iti al-o — karaman dagiti bukbukel-saan latta isuna a panawan ti kinamaagna.
23 Take good care of your flocks of sheep and herds of cattle,
Siguradoem nga ammom ti kasasaad dagiti arbanmo ken kailalaam ti maipapan kadagiti tarakenmo,
24 because the money [that you acquired from selling animals previously] will not (last/stay with you) forever; similarly [SIM], governments [MTY] certainly do not [RHQ] last forever.
ta saan nga agnanayon ti kinabaknang. Adda aya met korona nga agpaut iti amin a henerasion?
25 After you cut the hay [DOU] and [store it to feed the animals in the winter while] a new crop of hay is growing,
Awanen dagiti ruot ken agparparang dagiti baro a nagtubo ken naurnong kadagiti banbantay dagiti kanen dagiti taraken.
26 you will be able to [shear the sheep and] make clothes from the wool, and you will get money from selling [some of] the goats to buy [more] land,
Ipaayto dagiti karnero ti kawesmo, ken ipaayto dagiti kalding ti bayad ti talon.
27 and you will get enough milk from the [other] goats for you and your family and your female servants.
Addanto gatas dagiti kalding nga agpaay a taraonmo—taraon para iti bumalaymo—ken taraon para kadagiti adipenmo a babbai.
