Dagiti Proverbio 20
1 Ti arak ket kasla mananglalais ken ti naingel a mainom ket kasla makaringgor; saan a nasirib ti siasinoman nga iyaw-awan ti arak.
Wine turns you into a mocker, alcohol makes you aggressive; you're stupid to be deceived by drink.
2 Ti panagbuteng iti ari ket kasla panagbuteng iti agngerngernger nga urbon a leon; ti mangpaunget kenkuana ket mapukawna ti biagna.
When a king gets terribly angry, he sounds like a roaring lion; anyone who makes him furious is liable to be killed.
3 Pakaidayawan ti siasinoman ti mangliklik iti riri, ngem makibiang ti maag iti panagsinnuppiat.
Avoiding conflict is the proper thing to do, but stupid people are quick to argue.
4 Saan nga agarado ti maysa a sadut a tao iti tiempo a masapulen nga agmula; agbirokto isuna iti maapit iti tiempo ti panagaapit ngem awanto ti maapitna.
Slackers don't sow when they should, so when harvest comes they don't have anything.
5 Dagiti panggep nga adda iti puso ti maysa a tao ket kasla adalem a danum, ngem addanto mannakaawat a tao a mangparuar kadagitoy.
Discovering what someone is planning in their mind is like looking at deep water, but a person who has understanding will find out.

Many people tell you they're loyal, but can you find someone really trustworthy?
7 Ti tao nga agar-aramid iti nalinteg ket agbibiag iti kinapudnona, ken naragsak dagiti annakna a sumarsaruno kenkuana.
Good people live honestly; how happy are their children if they follow them.
8 Ti ari nga agtugtugaw iti tronona a mangar-aramid kadagiti pagrebbengan ti maysa nga ukom ket arigna a tataepanna babaen kadagiti matana dagiti amin a dakes nga adda iti sangoananna.
When a king sits in judgment he recognizes all that isn't right.
9 Siasino ti makaibaga a, “Pinagtalinaedko a nadalus ti pusok; nawayawayaanak manipud iti basol”?
Who can claim, “I've made sure my conscience is clean; I've purified myself from sin”?
10 Kagurgura ni Yahweh ti panangbaliw iti umno a timbang kasta met ti nakaor a rukod.
The Lord hates both dishonest weights and dishonest measures.
11 Uray ti agtutubo ket mabalin a maammoan ti kababalinna babaen kadagiti tignayna, mabalin a maammoan no nadalus wenno nalinteg ti aramidna.
Even children reveal what they're like by what they do, whether their actions are good and right.
12 Dagiti lapayag a makangngeg ken dagiti mata a makakita-agpada nga inaramid ni Yahweh dagitoy.
The Lord made our ears to hear and our eyes to see.
13 Saanmo nga ayaten ti pannaturog di la ket ta agbalinka a nakurapay; lukatam dagiti matam ket maaddaanka iti nawadwad a makan.
If you love sleeping you'll become poor. Wake up and get busy, and you'll have plenty to eat.
14 “Nagngina metten!” kuna ti gumatang, ngem inton makapanawen isuna ket agpaspasindayagen.
“It's really rubbish,” says the one buying, but afterwards goes and boasts to others about making a good deal.
15 Adda balitok ken adu ti agkakangina a batbato, ngem maiyarig a napateg nga alahas dagiti nasirib a sasao.
There's gold and plenty of expensive gemstones, but talking sense is a more valuable jewel.
16 Alaem ti pagan-anay no ti makinkukua iti pagan-anay ket pinatalgedanna ti kuarta nga inutang ti maysa a saanna nga am-ammo, ken pagbalinem nga isuna ti agbalin a pammatalged no patalgedanna dagiti mannakikamalala.
If someone guarantees a stranger's debt with their cloak, be sure to take it! Make sure you have whatever is pledged to foreigners!
17 Nasam-it ti raman ti tinapay a naala babaen iti panangallilaw, ngem kalpasan dayta, mapnonto iti darat ti ngiwat ti nangan.
Food you get by cheating may taste sweet, but afterwards it will be like a mouthful of gravel.
18 Dagiti plano ket maar-aramid babaen iti balakad, ken sakanto laeng makigubat no adda nasirib a naibalakad kenka.
With sound advice, plans are successful; if you're going to war, make sure you have good guidance.
19 Ti managtsismis ket agibutaktak kadagiti palimed, ket isu a saanka a rumbeng a makikadua kadagiti tattao a nasao unay.
A gossip goes around revealing secrets; stay away from people who talk a lot.
20 No ilunlunod ti maysa a tao ti ama wenno ti inana, maiddepto ti pagsilawanna iti tengnga ti kasipngetan.
Anyone who curses their father or mother will have their light put out and end in utter darkness.
21 Ti tawid a nalaka a makagun-od iti damo ket bassitto laeng ti nasayaat maaramidanna iti udina.
Wealth gained too soon won't do you any good in the end.
22 Saanmo nga ibaga a, “Balsenkanto iti daytoy a nagbiddutam kaniak!” Urayem a ni Yahweh ti mangispal kenka.
Don't say, “I'll get you back for doing me wrong.” Leave it to the Lord, and he'll help you.
23 Kagurgura ni Yahweh dagiti nakaor a panangtimbang, ken saan a nasayaat dagiti nakusit a pagtimbangan.
The Lord hates incorrect weights; using dishonest scales is wrong.
24 Iturturong ni Yahweh dagiti addang ti maysa a tao; kasanona koma ngay ngarud a maawatan dagiti pasamak iti biagna?
The Lord shows us the way to go, so how would we decide for ourselves?
25 Maiyarig a maysa a silo para iti maysa a tao ti panaggaganatna a mangibaga a, “Nasantoan daytoy a banag,” sana rugian a panunoten ti maipapan iti kayat a sawen dayta a banag kalpasan laeng iti panagsapatana.
It's a mistake to make a promise to God and then have second thoughts about it later.
26 Itataep ti masirib nga ari dagiti nadangkes, sana padalanan dagitoy iti pagir-irik.
A wise king separates out the wicked by winnowing and punishes them by threshing.

Trustworthy love and faithfulness keep a king safe; trustworthy love supports his rule.
29 Ti pakaidayawan dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ket ti pigsada, ken ti dayag dagiti natataengan a tattao ket ti ubanda.
Young men value their strength, but the old value even more the wisdom that comes with gray hair.
30 Dagiti dunor ti mangdalus iti kinadakes, ken dagiti saplit ti mangdalus iti kaunggan ti maysa a tao.
Wounds and blows clean away what's evil; beatings clean what's deep down inside.
