Dagiti Proverbio 19
1 Nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao nga agbibiag iti kinalinteg ngem iti maysa a maag a dakes ti panagsasaona.
Better to be poor but honest than stupid and tell lies.
2 Kasta met, a saan a nasayaat ti agtarigagay nga awanan iti pannakaammo, ken ti tumaray a nakaparpartak ket maiyaw-awan iti dalan.
It's not good to be someone who doesn't think. If you rush, things go wrong.
3 Ti kinamaag ti maysa a tao ti mangdadael iti biagna, ken busbusorenna ni Yahweh.
People mess up their lives by their own stupidity, and then get angry with the Lord.
4 Umado ti gagayyem gapu iti kinabaknang, ngem maisina ti nakurapay a tao kadagiti gagayyemna.
If you're rich, you get a lot of friends, but if you're poor, you lose any friends you had.
5 Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ken saan a makalibas ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
A false witness will be punished; liars won't get away with their lies.
6 Adunto dagiti dumawat iti pabor manipud iti mannangited a tao, ken tunggal maysa ket gayyem ti manangted iti sagut.
Many ask favors from important people, and everyone's a friend of the generous.
7 Amin a kakabsat ti nakurapay a tao ket kagurada isuna; ad-adda pay ngarud nga ad-adaywan isuna dagiti gagayyemna! Aw-awaganna ida, ngem awandan.
If a poor man's relatives can't stand him, how much more will his friends avoid him! He tries to talk with them but they don't listen.
8 Ti mangnaynayon iti kinasiribna ket ipatpategna ti bukodna a biag; ti mangsalsalimetmet iti pannakaawat ket makabirok iti naimbag.
If you become wise, you have good self-esteem; if you learn good sense you'll be successful.
9 Saan a mabalin a saan a madusa ti maysa a palso a saksi, ngem mapukaw ti agisawsawang iti inuulbod.
A false witness will be punished; people who tell lies will perish.
10 Saan a rumbeng nga agbiag iti narang-ay ti maysa a maag - ad-adda a saan a rumbeng nga iturayan ti maysa a tagabu dagiti prinsipe.
It's not right for stupid people to live in luxury, and it's even worse for a slave to rule over leaders.
11 Ti pannakaammo ti mangmangted iti kabaelan iti maysa a tao tapno saan a nalaka a makaunget, ken pakaidayawanna ti panangpalabasna iti nagbasolanda kenkuana.
If you have good sense you'll be slow to get angry; you gain respect by forgiving wrongs.
12 Ti pungtot ti ari ket kasla panagngernger ti urbon a leon, ngem ti asina ket kasla linnaaw kadagiti karuotan.
When a king gets angry, he sounds like a roaring lion; but his kindness is as soft as dew on the grass.
13 Ti maag nga anak ket pakaibabainan ti amana, ken ti dumanayudom nga asawa a babai ket kas iti danum nga agtedtedted a kanayon.
A stupid son makes his father miserable, and an argumentative wife is like dripping that never stops.
14 Ti balay ken kinabaknang ket matawtawid manipud kadagiti nagannak, ngem ti nanakem nga asawa a babai ket aggapu kenni Yahweh.
You inherit a house and wealth from your father, but a sensible wife is a gift from the Lord.
15 Ti kinasadut ket paturogenna ti tao, ngem agbisin ti tao a saanna a kayat ti agtrabaho.
Lazy people are often fast asleep, but idleness means they're hungry.
16 Ti tao a mangtungtungpal iti bilin ket salsaluadanna ti biagna, ngem matay ti tao a saan a mangutob iti maipanggep kadagiti wagasna.
Keep the commandments, and you'll live; despise them and you'll die.
17 Ti siasinoman a naasi kadagiti nakurapay ket kasla padpadawatanna ni Yahweh, ket bayadanto ni Yahweh isuna kadagiti inaramidna.
If you're kind to the poor, you're lending to the Lord, and he will repay you well for what you've done.
18 Disiplinaam ti anakmo kabayatan nga adda pay namnama, ken saanmo koma nga itulok a mapukaw ti biagna.
Discipline your son while there's still hope, but don't kill him.
19 Masapul a bayadan ti tao a managpungtot ti pannusa; no ispalem isuna, masapul nga aramidem daytoy iti mamindua.
People who often get angry have to pay the penalty; if you help them, you'll have to do it again.
20 Denggem ti balakad ken awatem ti pannursuro, tapno sumiribka agingga iti pagpatinggaan ti biagmo.
Listen to advice and accept instruction so that you'll eventually become wise.
21 Adu dagiti plano iti puso ti maysa a tao, ngem ti plano ni Yahweh ti matungpal.
Human beings make many plans in their minds, but the final decision is the Lord's.
22 Ti kinapudno ti tartarigagayan ti maysa a tao, ken nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao ngem ti ulbod.
The most desirable thing in anyone is trustworthy love; it is better to be poor than a liar.
23 Ti panangidaydayaw kenni Yahweh ti mangiturturong kadagiti tattao iti biag; mapnek ti siasinoman nga addaan kadagitoy ken saan a madangran.
Honoring the Lord is life, and you will rest contentedly, safe from harm.
24 Idisso ti sadut ti imana iti pinggan; a saanna payen a maingato daytoy nga isubo iti ngiwatna.
Lazy people put their hands in a dish, and won't even lift the food to their mouths.
25 No dangram ti mananglais, agbalin a nanakem ti nengneng; ilintegmo ti adda pannakaawatna ket magun-odnanto ti pannakaammo.
If you punish someone who mocks, you may help an immature person to learn. Correct the wise, and they become wiser.
26 Ti tao a taktakawanna ti amana ken pagtaltalawenna ti inana ket anak a mangipapaay iti pakaibabainan ken pakaum-umsian.
A son who abuses his father and chases away his mother brings shame and disgrace.
27 No isardengmo ti dumngeg iti pannursuro, anakko, malipatam dagiti sasao iti pannakaammo.
My son, stop listening to my instruction and you'll soon give up following wisdom.
28 Lalaisen ti dakes a saksi ti hustisia, ken tiltilmunen ti ngiwat dagiti nadangkes ti basol.
A crooked witness makes a mockery of justice; and the wicked wolf down evil.
29 Nakasaganan ti panangukom para kadagiti mananglais, ken ti saplit para kadagiti bukot dagiti maag.
Punishment is ready for those who mock; flogging is ready for the backs of the stupid.
