Proverbs 29
1 Some people remain stubborn [IDM] [even] though they are often reproved/warned [about doing what is wrong], [but some day] they will be crushed/ruined, and nothing will be able to heal them.
tao a namin-adu a natubngar ngem pasikkilenna ti tengngedna, madadael a dagus ket saanto nga umimbag.
2 When righteous [people] are rulers, people are happy, but when wicked [people] rule, people (groan/are miserable).
Inton umadu dagiti agar-aramid iti umno, agrag-o dagiti tattao, ngem no ti nadangkes a tao ti mangiturturay, agsennaay dagiti tattao.
3 Those who are eager to become wise cause their parents to be glad; those who spend their time with prostitutes will end up giving all their money to them.
Siasinoman a mangayat iti kinasirib ket pagrag-oena ti amana, ngem ti makikadkadua kadagiti balangkantis ket daddaelenna ti kinabaknangna.
4 When a king rules justly/fairly, he causes his nation to be strong, but a king who is concerned [only] with getting more money from the people ruins his nation.
Patakderen ti ari ti daga babaen iti hustisia, ngem dadaelen daytoy ti tao a dumawdawat iti pasuksok.
5 Those who (flatter others/say nice things to others [merely] to cause them to feel good) are really setting a trap for them (OR, for themselves) [SYN].
Ti tao a mangpatpatiray-ok iti kaarrubana ket agiwaywayat iti iket para iti sakana.
6 Evil people will be trapped by the sins that they commit, but righteous/honest people will sing and be joyful/happy.
Matiliw iti palab-og ti siasinoman a dakes a tao babaen iti bukodna a basol, ngem agkanta ken agrag-o ti tao nga agar-aramid iti umno.
7 Righteous/Good people know that poor [people] should be treated fairly/justly, [but] wicked people (are not concerned about/do not pay attention to) those matters at all.
Irupir ti agar-aramid iti nasayaat dagiti napanglaw; saan a maawatan ti nadangkes ti kasta a pannakaammo.
8 Those who make fun of [everything that is good say things that] cause [everyone in] the city to (be agitated/in turmoil); those who are wise enable [people] to remain calm.
Puoran dagiti maag ti siudad, ngem ikkaten dagiti nasirib ti gura.
9 If a wise person sues a foolish person, the foolish person merely laughs [at him] and yells [at him] and will not be quiet (OR, [the dispute will] not be resolved).
No makisinuppiat ti masirib kadagiti maag a tao, agpungtot ken agkatawa isuna, ken awanto ti inana.
10 Those who murder others hate people who (are honest/always do what is right), but righteous [people] try to protect them.
Kagura dagiti mawaw ti dara ti awan basolna ket sapulenda ti biag dagiti nalinteg.
11 People who are wise are patient and restrain/control themselves when they are angry, but foolish people (quickly show others that they are very angry/do not restrain themselves at all).
Ipakita ti tao a maag ti amin nga ungetna, ngem ti masirib a tao ket igawidna ti ungetna ken pakalmaenna ti bagina.
12 If a ruler (pays attention to/believes) [people who tell] lies, all his officials will [also] become wicked.
No dengdenggen ti mangiturturay ti kinaulbod, agbalinto a nadangkes dagiti amin nga opisyalesna.
13 There is one thing that is true about both poor people and those who oppress them: Yahweh enables all of them to see.
Agpada ti napanglaw ken ti mangidaddadanes a tao, ta agpada nga innikan ni Yahweh iti lawag dagiti matada.
14 If kings judge poor [people] fairly, they will continue to rule for a long time.
No ukomen ti ari dagiti napanglaw babaen iti kinapudno, mapasingkedanto iti agnanayon ti tronona.
15 If children are punished/spanked and reproved/warned, they become wise; but if they are allowed to do whatever they want to do, they [do things that] cause their mothers to be ashamed of them.
Mangted iti sirib ti baot ken panangbabalaw, ngem ti ubing a saan a madisdisiplinaan ket ibabainna ti inana.
16 When wicked [people] rule, there are more crimes committed {people commit more crimes}, but [some day] those wicked people will (be defeated/no longer rule), and righteous [people] will see that happen.
Inton dagiti nadangkes a tao ti agturay, umadu ti basol, ngem makita dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ti pannakaabak dagiti nadangkes a tattao.
17 If you discipline your children, they will no longer [do things that] will cause you to be worried; instead, they [will do things that] will delight you [SYN].
Disiplinaam ti anakmo ket paginanaennakanto, mangiyegto isuna iti ragsak iti biagmo.
18 When the people [of a nation] do not receive messages that come directly from God, they do not control their behavior. [God] is pleased with those who obey his laws.
No awan ti naipadto a sirmata saan a matengngel dagiti tattao, ngem nagasat ti tao a mangsalsalimetmet iti linteg.
19 It is not possible to correct/discipline servants only by talking to them; they understand what you are saying, but they do not pay attention to it.
Saanto a mabagbagaan iti maysa a tagabu, ta uray no maawatanna, awanto ti sungbatna.
20 [God] can help/bless foolish people more easily [RHQ] than he can help/bless people who speak without thinking first.
Kitaen ti tao a darasudos iti saona? Ad-addu ti namnamma para ti maag ngem isuna.
21 If someone gives his servants everything that they want, starting from when they are young, some day those servants will take from him everything that he owns.
Ti mangpanuynoy iti tagabuna sipud pay iti kinaagtutubona, addanto ti parrikut iti kamaudiananna.
22 Those who [quickly] become angry cause [many] arguments, and they [also] commit many sins.
Ti naunget a tao ket mangpataud iti ringgor ken makaaramid iti adu a basol ti amo a naunget.
23 Proud people will be disgraced; those who are humble will be respected.
Ti kinatangsit ti maysa a tao ket isu ti mangipababa kenkuana, ngem ti addaan iti napakumbaba nga espiritu ket mapadayawanto.
24 Those who help thieves [to steal] only hurt themselves; [when they are in court], they solemnly ask [God] to curse them [if they do not tell the truth], but they do not tell the truth [about the crime that was committed], [and as a result, God will curse them].
Ti tao a makibingay kadagiti agtatakaw ket kagurgurana ti bukodna a biag; mangmangegna ti lunod ket agulimek.
25 It is [like] a dangerous trap [MET] [for people] to be (afraid of/worried about) what others will think about them, but those who trust in Yahweh are safe/protected.
Ti buteng ti tao ket isu’t pakaisiloanna, ngem maisalakan ti agtaltalek kenni Yahweh.
26 Many [people] request rulers to do things to help them, but Yahweh is [the only one] who surely does for people what is fair/just.
Adu ti mangsapul iti rupa ti mangituray, ngem agtaud kenni Yahweh ti hustisia para kenkuana.
27 Righteous [people] hate/detest those who do what is evil, and wicked [people] hate [those whose behavior is always] good.
Ti tao a saan a nalinteg ket pakarurudan dagiti agar-aramid iti umno, ngem ti nalinteg ti dalanna ket makarimon kadagiti nadangkes a tattao.
