< Proverbs 14 >

1 The wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
Ti masirib a babai ur-urnosenna ti balayna, ngem ti maag a babai ket daddadaelenna daytoy babaen kadagiti mismo wagasna.
2 The one who walks uprightly fears Yahweh, but the one who is dishonest in his ways despises him.
Ti agbibiag a nalinteg ket addaan iti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh, ngem ti saan a napudno iti wagasna ket um-umsienna ni Yahweh.
3 From the mouth of a fool comes an offshoot of his pride, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
Manipud iti ngiwat ti maag tumaud ti kinatangsitna, ngem dagiti bibig dagiti masirib ti mangsalaknib kadakuada.
4 Where there are no cattle the feeding trough is clean, but an abundant crop can come by the strength of an ox.
No awan ti baka, nadalus ti kulloong, ngem mabalin a maadda ti nawadwad nga apit babaen iti pigsa ti baka.
5 A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies.
Ti napudno a saksi saan nga agul-ulbod, ngem ti palso a saksi agisawsawng iti inuulbod.
6 A mocker seeks wisdom and there is none, but knowledge comes easy to the one who is discerning.
Ti tao a mangipagpagarup a nalalaing isuna ngem iti dadduma ket kasla mangbirbiruk iti kinasirib ket awan mabirukanna, ngem nalaka nga umay ti pannakaammo iti tao a masirib.
7 Walk away from a foolish person, for you will not find knowledge on his lips.
Adaywam ti maag a tao, ta awan ti maadalmo kenkuana.
8 The wisdom of the prudent person is to understand his own way, but the folly of fools is deception.
Ti kinasirib ti nanakem a tao ket ti panangawatna iti bukodna a biag, ngem ti kinamaag dagiti maag ket panangallilaw.
9 Fools mock when the guilt offering is sacrificed, but among the upright favor is shared.
Manglalais dagiti maag no maidaton ti daton a para iti basol, ngem pagbibingayan dagiti nalinteg ti pabor.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness and no stranger shares its joy.
Ammo ti puso ti bukodna a kinasaem, ket awan ganggannaet a makabingay iti rag-ona.
11 The house of wicked people will be destroyed, but the tent of upright people will flourish.
Madadael ti balay dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem rumangpaya ti tolda dagiti nalinteg a tattao.
12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end only leads to death.
Adda dalan a kasla nalinteg iti panagkita ti maysa a tao, ngem ti pagtungpalanna ket iti laeng patay.
13 A heart can laugh but still be in pain and joy may end up being grief.
Mabalin nga agkatawa ti maysa a puso ngem makarikna latta ti ut-ot, ken mabalin a ti rag-o ket agtungpal laeng iti panagladingit.
14 The one who is not faithful will get what his ways deserve, but a good person will get what is his.
Gun-odento ti tao a saan a napudno ti maiparbeng iti wagasna, ngem gun-odento ti nasayaat a tao ti rumbeng kenkuana.
15 The one who is naive believes everything, but the prudent man thinks about his steps.
Ti tao a saan a nasursuroan ket mamati iti amin a banbanag, ngem ti nanakem a tao ket ad-adalenna dagiti addangna.
16 A wise man fears and turns away from evil, but the fool confidently dismisses a warning.
Ti masirib a tao ket addaan iti panagbuteng ken ad-adaywanna ti dakes, ngem sitatalek ti maag a mangikkat iti ballaag.
17 One who is quick to become angry does foolish things, and a person who makes evil schemes is hated.
Ti tao a nalaka nga agunget ket agar-aramid kadagiti minamaag a banbanag, ken ti tao nga agar-aramid kadagiti dakes a panggep ket magurgura.
18 The naive inherit foolishness, but prudent people are crowned with knowledge.
Tawiden dagiti saan a nasursuroan a tattao ti kinanengneng ngem napalikmutan iti pannakaammo dagiti nanakem a tattao.
19 Evil people will bow down before those who are good and those who are wicked will bow down at the gates of the righteous person.
Dagiti dakes ket agruknoyto iti sangoanan dagiti naimbag, ken dagiti nadangkes agruknoyto kadagiti ruangan dagiti nalinteg.
20 The poor person is hated even by his own companions, but the rich people have many friends.
Ti tao a napanglaw ket magurgura uray pay kadagiti kakaduana, ngem ti tao a nabaknang ket adu ti gagayyemna.
21 The one who shows contempt for his neighbor is sinning, but the one who shows favor to the poor is blessed.
Agbasbasol ti tao a mangipakpakita iti gurana iti kaarrubana, ngem naragsak ti tao a mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti napanglaw.
22 Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan to do good will receive covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.
Saan aya a dagiti agpangpanggep iti kinadakes ket maiyaw-awan? Ngem dagiti agpangpanggep iti nasayaat ket umawat iti kinapudno iti tulag ken kinamatalek.
23 With all hard work comes a profit, but when there is only talk, it leads to poverty.
Tumaud ti gunggona manipud kadagiti amin a nagbannogan, ngem no ti adda laeng ket sao, mangiturong daytoy iti kinapanglaw.
24 The crown of wise people is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings them only more folly.
Ti balangat dagiti masirib a tattao ket ti kinabaknangda, ngem ti kinamaag dagiti maag ket mangmangiyeg kadakuada iti ad-adda pay a kinamaag.
25 A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness breathes out lies.
Ti napudno a saksi ket is-ispalenna ti biag, ngem ti palso a saksi ket agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
26 When someone fears Yahweh, he also has much confidence in him; these things will be like a strong place of protection for this man's children.
No ti maysa a tao ket agbuteng kenni Yahweh, addaan met isuna iti panagtalek kenni Yahweh; dagitoy a banbanag ket kaslanto natibker a lugar a salaknib para kadagiti annak dagiti tattao.
27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, so that a person may turn away from the snares of death.
Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket maiyarig a burayok ti biag, tapno maadaywan ti tao dagiti silo ti patay.
28 The glory of a king is found in the great number of his people, but without people the prince is ruined.
Ti dayag ti ari ket masarakan kadagiti adu a tattaona, ngem no awan ti tattao ket madadael ti prinsipe.
29 A patient person has great understanding, but the quick-tempered person exalts folly.
Ti tao a naanus ket addaan dakkel a pannakaawat, ngem ti tao a nalaka nga agpungtot ket mangitantan-ok iti kinamaag.
30 A tranquil heart is life for the body, but envy rots the bones.
Ti nasayaat a panagpanpanunot ket biag ti bagi, ngem runrunoten ti apal dagiti tultulang.
31 The one who oppresses the poor curses his Maker, but the one who shows favor to the needy honors him.
Ti mangidaddadanes kadagiti napanglaw ket ilunlunodna ti Nangparsua kenkuana, ngem ti mangipakpakita iti nasayaat kadagiti agkasapulan ket mangpadpadayaw kenni Yahweh.
32 The wicked person is brought down by his evil actions, but the righteous person has a refuge even in death.
Ti nadangkes a tao ket ipabpababa dagiti dakes nga aramidna, ngem ti nalinteg a tao ket addaan iti pagkamangan uray iti patay.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning, but even among fools she lets herself be known.
Agtaltalinaed ti sirib iti puso ti addaan pannakaawat, ngem uray kadagiti maag ket ipakpakaammona ti bagina.
34 Doing what is right exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
Ti panagaramid iti umno ti mangitantan-ok iti nasion, ngem ti basol ket pakaibabainan ti siasinoman a tao.
35 The favor of the king is with the servant who acts prudently, but his anger is for the one who acts shamefully.
Ti pabor ti ari ket adda iti adipen a nanakem, ngem ti ungetna ket maipaay iti agar-aramid iti pakaibabainan.
