Proverbs 6
1 My son, if someone has borrowed money from a friend or a stranger, and if you have promised that you will pay the money back if that person is unable to pay back the money he borrowed,
Anakko, no nangilasinka iti kuartam kas pammatalged iti utang ti kaarrubam, no nagkarika para iti utang ti maysa a tao a saanmo nga am-ammo,
2 you may be trapped by what you have agreed to do, [because if the one who borrowed the money is not able to pay it back, you will have to pay it]. What you have said that you will do will be like a snare to you.
nangipakatka ngarud iti palab-og ti bagim babaen iti karim, ket natiliwka babaen kadagiti sasaom.
3 So, my son, I will tell you what you should do to escape from your difficulty, so that the moneylender does not get control over your [wealth: ] Humbly go to your friend and plead with him [to cancel the agreement]!
Iti kasta ngarud, anakko, aramidem daytoy ket isalakanmo ti bagim, ta addaka iti babaen ti asi ti kaarrubam. Mapanmo ipakumbaba ti bagim ket ipakaasim iti kaarrubam a wayawayaannaka.
4 Do not wait until tomorrow; [go immediately]! Do not rest until you [go and talk with him].
Saanmo nga iridridep dagiti matam ken saanmo pagkidemen dagiti kalub ti matam.
5 Save yourself, like a deer that escapes from a deer hunter [or] like a bird that flees from a bird hunter.
Isalakanmo ti bagim a kas iti ugsa manipud iti ima ti mangnganup, kas iti billit manipud iti ima ti sumisilo.
6 You lazy individual, learn something from [watching] the ants. Become wise from observing what they do.
Kitaem ti kuton, sika a sadut a tao, utobem dagiti wagasna ket agmasiribka.
7 They do not have a king or a governor or any [other] person who rules them [and forces them to work],
Awan ti mangidadaulo iti daytoy, opisial wenno turay,
8 [but] they work hard [all] during the summer, gathering and storing food to eat during the winter.
ngem mangisagsagana daytoy iti taraon iti kalgaw, ken kabayatan ti panagapit ket mangiduldulin daytoy iti kanennanto.
9 [But], you lazy loafer, how long will you [continue to] sleep [RHQ]? Are you never going to get up from sleeping [and go to work]?
Kasano pay aya a kabayag ti pannaturogmo, sika sadut a tao? Kaanokanto pay a mariing manipud iti pannaturogmo?
10 You sleep a for a little time; [you say, “I will take] just a short nap.” You lie down and fold/lay your hands [across your chest] and rest;
“Iturogko pay bassit, iridepko laeng iti mabiit, idalikepkepko pay biit”-
11 and suddenly you will become poor. It will be as though a bandit suddenly comes and takes all that you have.
ket umayto ti kinakurapaymo a kas iti agtatakaw ket dagiti kasapulam a kasla nakaarmas a suldado.
12 [I will describe for you what] worthless and evil people [are like]. They constantly lie;
Ti awan pategna a tao - ti nadangkes a tao - ket agbibiag babaen iti kinaulbodna,
13 by winking their eyes and moving their feet and making signs with their fingers, they signal [to their friends what they are intending/planning to do].
a kumanidday, sumanenyas babaen kadagiti sakana, ken agitudo-tudo babaen kadagiti ramayna.
14 They plan to do evil things. They constantly cause strife/trouble.
Iti pusona ket agpangpanggep isuna iti dakes babaen iti panangallilaw; kanayon isuna a mangparnuay iti riri.
15 But disasters will hit them suddenly; they will be crushed/ruined and nothing will be able to heal them.
Ngarud, apagdarikmatto a kamaten isuna ti pannakadidigrana; apagkanitonto a madadael isuna ket saanen nga umimbag.
16 There are six, [maybe] seven, kinds of people that Yahweh hates. [They are]:
Adda innem a banag a kagurgura ni Yahweh, adda pito a makarimon kenkuana:
17 People who show by their eyes that they are very proud; people who lie [MTY]; people [SYN] who kill others [SYN] who have done nothing wrong;
Dagiti mata ti napalangguad a tao, dila nga agul-ulbod, im-ima a mangpaspasayasay iti dara dagiti inosente a tattao,
18 people who plan to do evil deeds; people [SYN] who run quickly to do wrong things;
puso a mangparpartuat kadagiti dakes a panggep, saksaka a napartak a tumaray a mapan agaramid iti dakes,
19 people who easily tell lies in court; and people who cause strife between family members.
saksi a mangibagbaga kadagiti inuulbod, ken ti agparparnuay iti riri kadagiti agkakabsat.
20 My son, obey my commands, and do not ignore what your mother has taught you.
Anakko, tungpalem ti bilin ti amam, ken saanmo a baybay-an ti sursuro ti inam.
21 Remember the things that we have said. Those things should be [like a beautiful necklace] around your neck.
Arigna nga igaluttmo a kanayon dagitoy iti pusom; arigna nga igalutmo dagitoy iti tengngedmo.
22 [If you follow our advice, it will be as though] what we have taught you [PRS] will lead you, wherever you go. When you sleep, they will protect you. And when you wake up in the morning, they will teach/instruct you.
Tunggal magnaka, idalandaka; tunggal maturogka, bantayandaka; ken tunggal agriingka, isurodaka.
23 These commands and what we teach you [will be like] a lamp to light your path [MET]. When we rebuke you and correct/punish you, we will be showing you the road to having [a good] life.
Ta dagiti bilbilin ket arigna ti maysa a pagsilawan, ken ti panangisuro ket arigna ti maysa a silaw; dagiti panangilinteg ti pannakadisiplina ket isu ti dalan ti panagbiag.
24 Heeding [PRS] these commands and things that we have taught you will enable you to keep away from immoral women and from [listening to] the enticing words of an adulterous woman.
Iyadayonaka daytoy manipud iti narugit a babai, manipud iti nalamuyot a sasao ti mannakimalala.
25 [Even] if such a woman is beautiful and has lovely eyes, do not desire to go with her. Do not let her persuade you to go with her (with her eyes/by the way she looks at you).
Saanmo a paggarteman iti pusom ti pintasna, ken saanmo nga itulok a tengngelennaka babaen kadagiti kurimatmatna.
26 [Do not forget that] you can hire a prostitute for only a loaf of bread, but [if you sleep with] another man’s wife, (it may cost you/you may lose) your life.
Mabalin nga aggatad iti maysa a tinapay ti bayad ti pannakikaidda iti maysa a balangkantis, ngem ti asawa ti dadduma ket mabalin a ti kakaisuna a biagmo ti gatadna.
27 Can you carry hot coals in your pocket and not be burned [RHQ]?
Mabalin aya met a sakruyen ti maysa a tao ti apuy a saan a mapuoran dagiti pagan-anayna?
28 Can you walk on burning coals and not scorch/burn your feet?
Mabalin aya met a magna ti maysa a tao iti rabaw dagiti beggang a saan a masinit dagiti sakana?
29 [No]! And in the same way, anyone who (sleeps with/has sex with) another man’s wife will [suffer for doing that]. [He will certainly] [LIT] be punished severely.
Kasta ngarud ti lalaki a makikakaidda iti asawa ti kaarrubana; sigurado a madusa ti makikakaidda kenkuana.
30 We do not despise a thief if he steals some food because he is very hungry.
Saan nga umsien dagiti tattao ti agtatakaw no nagtakaw isuna tapno mapnek ti pagkasapulanna gapu iti bisinna.
31 But [if he steals something and then] is caught [by the police], he will have to pay back (seven times as much as/much more than) he stole. He may need to sell everything that is in his house [to get enough money to pay it back].
Ngem no matiliw isuna, bayadannanto iti maminpito ti tinakawna; masapul nga itedna amin nga adda gatadna a banag iti uneg ti balayna.
32 [But] a man who commits adultery with some woman is very foolish, [because] he is destroying his own self/soul [by what he is doing].
Awan pannakaawat ti tao a makikamkamalala; ti tao a mangar-aramid iti daytoy ket daddadaelenna ti bagina.
33 [That woman’s husband] will wound him badly, and [other people] will despise him. His shame will never end.
Sugsugat ken pannakaibabain ti maikari kenkuana, ken saanto a mapunas ti pannakaibabainna.
34 Because that woman’s husband will (be jealous/not want anyone else to sleep with her), he will become furious, and when he gets revenge, he will not act mercifully [toward the man who slept with his wife].
Ta ti imon ket pagbalinenna a nauyong ti maysa a lalaki; saan isuna a mangipakita iti asi inton agibales isuna.
35 And he will not accept any bribe/money, even if it is a big bribe, to (appease him/cause him to stop being angry).
Saanto isuna nga umawat iti bayad, ken saan isuna a mapasuksukan, uray no ikkam isuna iti adu a sagut.
