Dagiti Proverbio 22
1 Rumbeng a ti nasayaat a nagan ti pilien saan ket a tay adu a kinabaknang, ken nasaysayaat ti pabor ngem ti pirak ken balitok.
A good reputation is a much better choice than plenty of money; respect is better than silver and gold.
2 Addaan kadagitoy dagiti nabaknang ken nakurapay a tattao - ni Yahweh ti nangaramid amin kadakuada.
The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord created them all.
3 Ti masirib a tao ket makitana ti riribuk ket iliklikna ti bagina, ngem sarakusuken daytoy dagiti tattao nga awan kapadasanna ket agsagabada gapu iti daytoy.
If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and pay for it.
4 Ti gunggona iti panagpakumbaba ken panagbuteng ken ni Yahweh ket kinabaknang, dayaw, ken biag.
The reward you receive for being humble and respecting the Lord is wealth, honor, and life.
5 Adda sisiit ken silsilo iti dalan dagiti dakes; ti siasinoman a mangsaluad iti biagna ket maiyadayo kadagitoy.
Thorns and traps lie in the path of crooked people; those who value their lives will stay away from them.
6 Isurom ti ubing iti wagas a rumbeng a panagbiagna, ket inton dumakkel isuna, saanto isuna a sumiasi iti dayta a panursuro.
Teach children the right way to live, and when they grow up they'll go on doing so.
7 Iturayan dagiti nabaknang a tattao dagiti napanglaw, ken ti nakautang ket tagabu ti nagpautang.
The rich rule the poor, and borrowers are slaves to their lenders.
8 Ti agimula iti kinadangkes ket agapitto iti riribuk, ket awanton ti serserbi ti baot ti pungtotna.
Those who sow injustice will reap disaster, and the angry beatings they inflict on others will be stopped.
9 Mabendisionanto ti managparabur a tao, gapu ta ibingbingayanna iti tinapayna dagiti napanglaw.
If you're generous, you'll be blessed, for you share your food with those in need.
10 Papanawem ti mananglais, ket mapukaw ti panagririri; sumardeng dagiti panagsusuppiat ken panangin-insulto.
Get rid of the scornful, and you'll get rid of conflict too—no more arguments or insults!
11 Ti mangayat iti nasin-aw a puso ken nasayaat ti panagsasaona, ket agbalinto a gayemna ti ari.
Anyone who loves sincerity and a gracious way of speaking will have the king as their friend.
12 Kanayon a sipsiputan dagiti mata ni Yahweh ti pannakaammo, ngem daddadaelenna dagiti sasao dagiti mangliliput.
The Lord watches over true knowledge, but counteracts the words of liars.
13 Kuna ti sadut a tao, “Adda leon iti kalsada! Matayak la ketdi no rummuarak.”
Lazy people make claims like, “There's a lion outside! I might be killed if I go out there!”
14 Ti ngiwat ti mannakikamalala a babai ket kasla nauneg nga abut; mapasgedan ti pungtot ni Yahweh iti siasinoman a matnag iti daytoy.
The seductive words of an immoral woman are a dangerous trap—if the Lord's angry with you, then you'll fall right in.
15 Siguden nga adda kinamaag iti puso ti maysa nga ubing, ngem ikkaten daytoy ti baut ti panangisuro.
Children are naturally foolish; physical correction helps them to see sense.
16 Ti mangidaddadanes kadagiti nakurapay a tattao tapno umadu ti kinabaknangna, wenno ti mangmangted kadagiti nabaknang a tattao, ket pumanglawto.
If you oppress the poor to make yourself rich, or if you're generous to the rich, you'll end up poor yourself.
17 Ipangagmo ken denggem dagiti sasao dagiti masirib, ket imulam dita pusom ti pannakaammo nga isursurok,
Pay attention and listen to the words of the wise, and think carefully about my teachings—
18 ta nasayaat para kenka no salimetmetam dagitoy iti kaunggam, no nakasagana amin dagitoy kadagiti bibigmo.
for it's good to keep them in mind so you can be ready to share them.
19 Tapno ti panagtalekmo ket adda kenni Yahweh, isurok dagitoy ita kenka-uray pay kenka.
I'm explaining this to you today so you can trust in the Lord—yes, you!
20 Saan kadi a nangisuratak para kenka iti tallopulo a bilbilin ken pannakaammo,
Haven't I written down for you thirty sayings of advice and wisdom?
21 a mangisuro kenka iti kinapudno nga adda kadagitoy a sasao, tapno makaitedka kadagiti nasayaat a sungbat kadagiti nangibaon kenka?
They are to make it clear to you what's right and true, so you can give a truthful explanation to those who sent you.
22 Saanmo a takawan ti napanglaw a tao, gapu ta napanglaw isuna, wenno ibaddebaddek dagiti marigrigat nga adda iti ruangan,
For you shouldn't steal from the poor just because they're poor; and you shouldn't crush those with limited means in court,
23 ta ninto Yahweh ti mangikalintegan iti kasoda, ket pukawennanto ti biag dagiti nagtakaw kadakuada.
for the Lord will plead their case, and he will take back whatever was stolen from them.
24 Saanka a makigayyem iti tao nga iturturayan ti unget, ken saanka a makikuykuyog iti tao a managpungpungtot,
Don't make friends with someone who gets upset easily; don't associate with angry people,
25 amangan no masursuromton dagiti wagasna, ket saankaton a makalapsut iti silo.
in case you learn to be like them and make a mess of your life.
26 Saanka nga agkari no maipapan iti kuarta, ken saanka a mangted iti pammaneknek iti utang ti sabali.
Don't shake hands and guarantee someone's debt,
27 No saankanto a makabayad, ania koma ngay ti makalapped iti tao a nagkariam inton alaenna ti katre a pagid-iddaam?
for if you can't pay, why should your bed be taken away from beneath you?
28 Saanmo nga ikkaten ti nagkakauna a mohon nga impasdek dagiti ammayo.
Don't move ancient boundary markers that your forefathers put in place.
29 Makakitaka ngata iti tao a nalaing iti trabahona? Iti sangoanan ngarud dagiti ar-ari ti pagtakderanna; saan nga iti sangoanan dagiti kadawyan a tattao.
If you see someone skilled in what they do, they'll work for kings and not for ordinary people.
