Proverbs 1
1 These are the (proverbs/wise sayings) that come from Solomon, the King of Israel, who was the son of [King] David.
Amsal-amsal Salomo bin Daud, raja Israel,
2 (These proverbs [PRS] can teach people/By studying these proverbs, people can learn) how to be wise and how to obey what these proverbs teach them. They will [also] help people to understand which teachings are wise.
untuk mengetahui hikmat dan didikan, untuk mengerti kata-kata yang bermakna,
3 These proverbs [PRS] will teach you how to discipline/control yourselves, how to conduct your lives, and how to do what is right and just [DOU].
untuk menerima didikan yang menjadikan pandai, serta kebenaran, keadilan dan kejujuran,
4 They will show [people] who do not [yet] know much how to do things that are smart. They will show young people how to become wise and how to make good plans/decisions.
untuk memberikan kecerdasan kepada orang yang tak berpengalaman, dan pengetahuan serta kebijaksanaan kepada orang muda--
5 Those who are wise should also pay attention [to these proverbs], in order to become more wise, and those who understand [these teachings] will receive good advice/guidance.
baiklah orang bijak mendengar dan menambah ilmu dan baiklah orang yang berpengertian memperoleh bahan pertimbangan--
6 Then they will be able to understand the meaning of proverbs and parables/metaphors, these wise sayings and (riddles/sayings that are difficult to understand).
untuk mengerti amsal dan ibarat, perkataan dan teka-teki orang bijak.
7 If [you want to be] wise, you must begin by revering Yahweh. [Only] foolish people despise wisdom and good advice/discipline.
Takut akan TUHAN adalah permulaan pengetahuan, tetapi orang bodoh menghina hikmat dan didikan.
8 My son, pay attention to what [I], your father, am teaching you. And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
Hai anakku, dengarkanlah didikan ayahmu, dan jangan menyia-nyiakan ajaran ibumu
9 What we teach you [will make you respected like having] a lovely turban around your head and [like] a [beautiful] necklace to put around your neck.
sebab karangan bunga yang indah itu bagi kepalamu, dan suatu kalung bagi lehermu.
10 My son, if sinners tempt/entice you [to do what is wrong], say “No” to them.
Hai anakku, jikalau orang berdosa hendak membujuk engkau, janganlah engkau menurut;
11 They may say, “Come with us! Join us! We will hide and then kill [MTY] someone [who passes by]. We will ambush some helpless/innocent people.
jikalau mereka berkata: "Marilah ikut kami, biarlah kita menghadang darah, biarlah kita mengintai orang yang tidak bersalah, dengan tidak semena-mena;
12 We will kill them [HYP] and get rid of them completely, [just] like [people who are buried in] graves are gone forever. While they are in good health, we will send them to the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
biarlah kita menelan mereka hidup-hidup seperti dunia orang mati, bulat-bulat, seperti mereka yang turun ke liang kubur; (Sheol h7585)
13 And we will seize all the things that they own. We will fill our houses with these things!
kita akan mendapat pelbagai benda yang berharga, kita akan memenuhi rumah kita dengan barang rampasan;
14 [So], come with us! Join our group! We will share with you the things that we steal.”
buanglah undimu ke tengah-tengah kami, satu pundi-pundi bagi kita sekalian."
15 My son, do not accompany them! Do not walk on the roads with them!
Hai anakku, janganlah engkau hidup menurut tingkah laku mereka, tahanlah kakimu dari pada jalan mereka,
16 They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder [MTY] people.
karena kaki mereka lari menuju kejahatan dan bergegas-gegas untuk menumpahkan darah.
17 It is useless to put out a (trap/net to catch a bird) because when a bird sees it, [it stays away from it].
Sebab percumalah jaring dibentangkan di depan mata segala yang bersayap,
18 But those wicked people are not like the birds, [because they do not realize] that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
padahal mereka menghadang darahnya sendiri dan mengintai nyawanya sendiri.
19 That is what happens to people who eagerly try to get things [by violently attacking others]. They will only destroy themselves!
Demikianlah pengalaman setiap orang yang loba akan keuntungan gelap, yang mengambil nyawa orang yang mempunyainya.
20 Wisdom [PRS] shouts to people in the streets, and calls out to people in the (plazas/town squares).
Hikmat berseru nyaring di jalan-jalan, di lapangan-lapangan ia memperdengarkan suaranya,
21 Wisdom calls out in noisy places, and at the entrances to cities.
di atas tembok-tembok ia berseru-seru, di depan pintu-pintu gerbang kota ia mengucapkan kata-katanya.
22 [Wisdom says], “How long will you stupid people continue to enjoy doing foolish things [RHQ]? How long will you people who ridicule God enjoy doing that [RHQ]? How long will you foolish people refuse to know [what things are right] [RHQ]?
"Berapa lama lagi, hai orang yang tak berpengalaman, kamu masih cinta kepada keadaanmu itu, pencemooh masih gemar kepada cemooh, dan orang bebal benci kepada pengetahuan?
23 If you pay attention to me when I rebuke you, I will tell you what I am thinking in my inner being; I will give you some good advice.
Berpalinglah kamu kepada teguranku! Sesungguhnya, aku hendak mencurahkan isi hatiku kepadamu dan memberitahukan perkataanku kepadamu.
24 But when I called to you, you refused to listen. I beckoned to you to come to me, but you ignored me.
Oleh karena kamu menolak ketika aku memanggil, dan tidak ada orang yang menghiraukan ketika aku mengulurkan tanganku,
25 I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen to me. I tried to correct you, but you rejected what I told you.
bahkan, kamu mengabaikan nasihatku, dan tidak mau menerima teguranku,
26 So [now], when you are experiencing troubles/disasters, I will laugh at you. When things happen that cause you to be afraid, I will make fun of you.
maka aku juga akan menertawakan celakamu; aku akan berolok-olok, apabila kedahsyatan datang ke atasmu,
27 When calamities strike you like a big storm, when disasters hit you like a violent wind, when [all kinds of things] distress you and give you trouble, [I will ridicule you!]
apabila kedahsyatan datang ke atasmu seperti badai, dan celaka melanda kamu seperti angin puyuh, apabila kesukaran dan kecemasan datang menimpa kamu.
28 [Wisdom also says], “When foolish people call to me [to help them], I will not answer them. They will search for me diligently/everywhere, but they will not find me.
Pada waktu itu mereka akan berseru kepadaku, tetapi tidak akan kujawab, mereka akan bertekun mencari aku, tetapi tidak akan menemukan aku.
29 They refused to know [what things are right], and they decided not to revere Yahweh.
Oleh karena mereka benci kepada pengetahuan dan tidak memilih takut akan TUHAN,
30 They would not accept my advice, and they did not pay attention when I tried to correct them.
tidak mau menerima nasihatku, tetapi menolak segala teguranku,
31 So they will endure what will result [MET, DOU] from the evil way they have lived/behaved and the evil things they have planned to do.
maka mereka akan memakan buah perbuatan mereka, dan menjadi kenyang oleh rencana mereka.
32 Those who turn away from me are stupid/foolish; they will die because of doing that.
Sebab orang yang tak berpengalaman akan dibunuh oleh keengganannya, dan orang bebal akan dibinasakan oleh kelalaiannya.
33 But those who pay attention to me will live peacefully and safely, and they will not be afraid that something will harm them.”
Tetapi siapa mendengarkan aku, ia akan tinggal dengan aman, terlindung dari pada kedahsyatan malapetaka."
