Dagiti Proverbio 2
1 Anakko, no awatem dagiti sasaok ken ipategmo dagiti bilbilinko kenka,
My son, listen to what I say, and [consider my instructions to be as valuable as] [MET] a treasure.
2 dumngegka iti kinasirib ken ipapusom ti mangawat.
Pay attention to wisdom and try hard to understand it.
3 No umawagka a dumawat iti pannakaawat ken ipigsam ti timekmo para iti daytoy,
Call out [to God] to get insight; plead with him to help you to understand more [of what he wants you to know].
4 no birokem daytoy a kas iti panagbirokmo iti pirak ken sapulem ti pannakaawat a kas iti panangbirokmo kadagiti nakalemmeng a gameng,
Search [eagerly] for wisdom, like you would search for silver, like you would search for a treasure that someone has hidden.
5 ket maawatamto ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ken mabirokamto ti pannakaammo iti Dios.
If you do that, you will understand how to revere Yahweh, and you will succeed in knowing God.
6 Ta mangmangted ni Yahweh iti kinasirib, agtaud iti ngiwatna ti pannakaammo ken pannakaawat.
Yahweh is the one who gives us wisdom. He is the one who tells us things that we need to know and understand.
7 Iduldulinna ti pudno a kinasirib para kadagiti mangay-ayo kenkuana, isuna ket kalasag kadagiti agbiag iti rumbeng a wagas iti panagbiag,
He gives good advice to those who conduct their lives as they should. He protects [MET] those who do what is right.
8 banbantayanna ti dalan dagiti nalinteg ken taginayunenna ti dalan dagiti napudno kenkuana.
He guards those who act justly/fairly [toward others], and he watches over those who are faithful/loyal [to him].
9 Ket maawatamto ti kinalinteg, hustisia, maiparbeng, ken amin a nasayaat a wagas.
[If you ask God for wisdom], you will understand what is right and just [DOU] [to do], and [you will know] the right way to conduct your life,
10 Ta maadda ti kinasirib dita pusom, ket agbalin ti pannakaammo a ragsak iti kararuam.
because you will be wise in your inner being; and knowing [what God wants you to know] will cause you to be joyful.
11 Saluadannaka ti kinatimbeng, bantayannaka ti pannakaawat.
If you know [PRS] how to choose what is right to do and if you understand [what God wants] you to do, God will protect you and guard you and keep you safe.
12 Ispalendaka manipud iti wagas ti kinadakes, manipud kadagiti agsasao kadagiti agkakadakes,
If you are wise [PRS], you will not do what evil people do, and you will not [believe what] deceitful people say.
13 kadagiti mangtaltallikud kadagiti nalinteg a wagas ken agbibiag iti wagas ti kinasipnget.
Deceitful people have stopped acting fairly/justly [toward others] and (walk on dark and evil paths/do what evil people do) [MET].
14 Agragrag-oda tunggal agaramidda iti dakes ken agragragsakda kadagiti kinaballikog ti kinadakes.
They enjoy doing what is wrong; they like to do what is evil and to deceive [people].
15 Sursurotenda dagiti nakillo a pagnaan, ken babaen iti panangallilaw, gabgaburanda dagiti tugotda.
They (walk on crooked paths/always deceive others) and are always dishonest.
16 Isalakannaka ti kinasirib ken kinatimbeng manipud iti dakes a babai, manipud iti babai nga agbirbirok iti kapadasan ken manipud kadagiti mangpasablog a sasaona.
If you are wise [PRS], you will [also] be saved from (immoral women/prostitutes); you will not pay attention when adulterous women try to (seduce/entice you by what they say.)
17 Baybay-anna ti gayyemna idi kaub-ubinganna ken linipatna ti karina iti Diosna.
Those women have left the husbands whom they married when they were young; they have disregarded the solemn promise they made to God [not to commit adultery].
18 Ta agrukruknoy ti balayna iti patay ken dagiti tugotna ket iturongnaka iti ayan dagiti adda iti tanem.
If you go into houses of women who are like that, you will die [when you are still young]; the road [to their houses] leads to hell. (questioned)
19 Amin a mapmapan kenkuana ket saanen nga agsubli ken saanda a mabirokan dagiti pagnaan nga agturong iti biag.
No man who (visits/sleeps with) a woman like that will again [live harmoniously with his family]. He will never have a [happy] life again.
20 Isu nga agbiagka babaen iti wagas dagiti naimbag a tattao ken surotem dagiti wagas dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg.
If [you are wise], you should behave like good men behave. You should (stay on the paths that righteous [people] walk on/do what godly people do) [MET],
21 Ta dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg ket agaramidto iti pagtaengan iti daga, ken dagiti addaan iti kinapudno ket agtalinaedto iti daytoy.
because only godly people will live in this land [and receive God’s blessings]; [only] those who have not done wrong will stay here [for a long time].
22 Ngem dagiti nadangkes ket mapaksiatto manipud iti daga, ken mapaksiatto manipud iti daytoy dagiti saan a mangtungtungpal kadagiti karida.
Wicked [people] will be expelled from this land, and [people] who are not trustworthy will be thrown {God will throw them} out of it.
