Dagiti Proverbio 19
1 Nasaysayaat ti nakurapay a tao nga agbibiag iti kinalinteg ngem iti maysa a maag a dakes ti panagsasaona.
Conducting our lives as we should [even though] we are poor is better than being foolish and telling lies.
2 Kasta met, a saan a nasayaat ti agtarigagay nga awanan iti pannakaammo, ken ti tumaray a nakaparpartak ket maiyaw-awan iti dalan.

Some people are ruined as a result of their [own] foolish actions, and when that happens, they [SYN] angrily say that it is Yahweh’s fault.
4 Umado ti gagayyem gapu iti kinabaknang, ngem maisina ti nakurapay a tao kadagiti gagayyemna.
Those who are rich easily find people who want to be their friends, but when [people become] poor, their friends [often] desert them.

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.
[Even] the relatives of someone who becomes poor hate him, and his friends certainly stay away from him, too; [even] if he tries to talk with them, they will not be his friends [again].
8 Ti mangnaynayon iti kinasiribna ket ipatpategna ti bukodna a biag; ti mangsalsalimetmet iti pannakaawat ket makabirok iti naimbag.

12 Ti pungtot ti ari ket kasla panagngernger ti urbon a leon, ngem ti asina ket kasla linnaaw kadagiti karuotan.

13 Ti maag nga anak ket pakaibabainan ti amana, ken ti dumanayudom nga asawa a babai ket kas iti danum nga agtedtedted a kanayon.

When we give things to poor [people], [it is as though] we are lending to Yahweh, and he will (pay us back/reward us for what we did).
18 Disiplinaam ti anakmo kabayatan nga adda pay namnama, ken saanmo koma nga itulok a mapukaw ti biagna.
Discipline your children while [they are young], while you still hope that [they will learn to behave as they should]; [if you do not discipline them], you are helping them to destroy [themselves].

If you punish someone who makes fun of those who are wise, those who (are naive/need to be instructed) will learn to do what is smart; if you rebuke those who are wise, they will [listen to what you say and] become wiser.

[God] is ready to punish those who make fun [of him/religion]; those who do foolish things deserve to be flogged/whipped.
