Proverbs 9
1 [It is as though] wisdom [is a woman who] has built a [big] house for herself, and has set up seven columns [to support the roof],
Impatakder ti Kinasirib ti bukodna a balay; nangaramid isuna iti pito nga adigi manipud kadagiti batbato.
2 and has slaughtered an animal [and cooked the meat], and has mixed [nice spices] in the wine, and has put [the food] on the table.
Nangisagana isuna kadagiti ayup a kukuana a maidasar a pangrabii; tinimplana ti arakna; ken insaganana ti lamisaanna.
3 [It is as though then] she sent out her servant women to call out from the highest place in the town,
Nangibaon isuna kadagiti babaonenna a mapan mangawis ket umaw-awag isuna manipud iti kangangatoan a disso iti siudad:
4 “You people who need to understand more, come in!” And to those who are ignorant, [it is as though] she calls out,
“Paumayenyo koma ditoy dagiti saan a nasursuroan!” kunana kadagiti awan ammona.
5 “Come and eat the food that I [have prepared], and drink the [good] wine that I have mixed!
“Umaykayo, kanenyo ti taraonko, ken inumenyo ti tinemplak nga arak.
6 (Leave/Go away from) [other] foolish people, and [if you do that, you will continue to] live. Walk on the road that will enable you to (have knowledge/know what is true and what is not true).”
Ibatiyo ti kinaignoranteyo, ket agbiagkayo; magnakayo iti dalan ti pannakaawat.
7 If you rebuke someone who will not allow others to correct him, he will insult you. If you reprove/scold an evil man, he will hurt you.
Siasinoman a mangbabalaw iti mananglais ket mangaw-awis iti mismo a pannakairurumenna, ken siasinoman a mangtubngar iti nadangkes a tao ket madangran.
8 Do not rebuke someone who will not allow others to (correct him/tell him what he has done is wrong), because he will hate you for doing that. [But] if you rebuke a wise person, he will respect you.
Saanmo a tubtubngaren ti mananglais, di la ket ta guraennaka; tubngarem ti nasirib a tao, ket ayatennaka.
9 If you give instruction to wise people, they will become wiser. And if you teach righteous people, they will learn more.
Isuroam ti nasirib a tao, ket ad-adda a sumirsirib pay isuna; isuroam ti nalinteg a tao, ket manayunanto pay ti ammona.
10 If you want to be wise, you must start by revering Yahweh, and if you know God, the Holy One, you will understand [which teachings are wise/true].
Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket isu ti pangrugian ti kinasirib, ken ti pannakaammo iti maipapan iti Nasantoan ket pannakaawat.
11 If you become wise, you will live many years [DOU].
Ta babaen kaniak ket mapaadunto dagiti al-aldawmo, ken manayunan ti tawtawen ti panagbiagmo.
12 If you are wise, you are the one who will benefit from it; if you ridicule [becoming wise], you are the one who will suffer.
No nasiribka, nasiribka a maipaay met laeng kenka, ngem no manglaiska, baklayemto nga agmaymaysa.”
13 Foolish women talk loudly; they are ignorant and are never ashamed [of the wrong things that they do].
Naariwawa ti maag a babai- awan sursurona ken awan ammona.
14 They sit at the doors of their houses [or] they sit on the top [of the hills] in the town,
Agtugtugaw isuna iti ruangan ti balayna, iti tugaw nga adda iti kangangatoan a disso iti ili.
15 and they call out to the men who are passing by, who are trying to be concerned with their own affairs,
Aw-awaganna dagiti lumablabas, dagiti tattao nga agbibiag a sililinteg.
16 “You people who need to understand more, come into [my house]!” And to those who are ignorant, they call out,
“Paumayenyo koma ditoy dagiti saan a nasursuroan!” kinunana kadagiti awan ammona.
17 “[Just as] water which you have stolen tastes very good and food that you eat by yourself tastes the best, [if you have sex secretly with someone to whom you are not married, you will enjoy it very much].”
“Nasam-it dagiti tinakaw a danum, ken naimas ti tinakaw a tinapay.”
18 But men who go to those women’s houses do not know that those who have gone there are now dead; they have descended down into the deepest parts of the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Ngem saanna nga ammo nga adda sadiay dagiti natay, a dagiti sangaili ti babai ket adda kadagiti yuyeng ti sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
