< Dagiti Proverbio 3 >

1 Anakko, saanmo a liplipatan dagiti bilbilinko, ken tungpalem dagiti sursurok dita pusom,
My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 ta inayonda kenka ti atiddog nga al-aldaw, ken tawtawen ti panagbiag, ken talna.
for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
3 Saanmo nga ipalubos a panawannaka ti kinapudno ti tulag ken kinamatalek, maiyarig dagitoy iti kwintas nga igalutmo iti tengngedmo, isuratmo dagitoy dita pusom.
Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Iti kasta makasarakkanto iti pabor ken nasayaat a pakasaritaan iti imatang ti Dios ken tao.
So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Agtalekka kenni Yahweh iti amin a pusom ken saanka nga agtalek iti bukodmo a pannakaawat;
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6 iti amin a dalanmo, bigbigem isuna ket palintegennanto dagiti pagnaam.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Saanmo nga ipagarup a masiribka; agbutengka kenni Yahweh ket tallikudam ti kinadakes.
Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 Agbalinto daytoy a pannakapaimbag ti lasagmo ken pannakapapigsa ti bagim.
It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
9 Dayawem ni Yahweh iti kinabaknangmo ken kadagiti umuna a bunga dagiti amin nga apitmo,
Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
10 ket mapnonto dagiti kamaligmo ken aglupluppiasto dagiti burnaymo, a napno iti baro nga arak.
so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 Anakko, saanmo a laisen ti panangdisiplina ni Yahweh ken saanmo a guraen ti panangtubngarna,
My son, don’t despise the LORD’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
12 ta disdisiplinaen ni Yahweh dagiti ay-ayatenna, a kas iti panangdisiplina ti maysa nga ama iti anakna a makaay-ayo kenkuana.
for whom the LORD loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
13 Naragsak ti makasarak iti kinasirib, makagun-od met isuna iti pannakaawat.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
14 Nasaysayaat ti magun-odmo iti kinasirib ngem iti magun-odmo iti pirak ken nasaysayaat ti magungguna iti kinasirib ngem iti balitok.
For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
15 Napatpateg ti kinasirib ngem kadagiti alahas ken awan kadagiti tartarigagayam ti maiyasping kenkuana.
She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16 Adda iti makannawan nga imana dagiti al-aldaw; adda iti makannigid nga imana dagiti kinabaknang ken pammadayaw.
Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Dagiti wagasna ket wagwagas ti kinaimbag ken amin dagiti wagasna ket talna.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
18 Isuna ket maiyarig a kayo ti biag kadagiti kumpet kenkuana, naragsak dagiti agtalinaed iti daytoy.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
19 Babaen iti kinasirib ket inaramid ni Yahweh ti daga, babaen iti kinalaingna ket inkabilna dagiti adda iti langit.
By wisdom the LORD founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
20 Babaen iti pannakaammona ket naglukat dagiti yuyeng ken intinnag dagiti ulep ti linnaawda.
By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
21 Anakko, salimetmetam ti naimbag a panangukom ken pannakaammo, ken saanmo nga isinsina ti panagkitam kadagitoy.
My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 Agbalindanto a biag ti kararuam ken a kuwintas ti bendision nga isuotmo iti tengngedmo.
so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
23 Ket magnakanto iti dalanmo a sitatalged ken saanto a maitibkol ti sakam;
Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
24 inton agiddaka, saankanto nga agbuteng; inton agiddaka, mayatto ti pannaturogmo.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 Saanka nga agbuteng iti inton adda kellaat a dumteng ti pagbutngan wenno panangdadael dagiti nadadangkes,
Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
26 ta addanto ni Yahweh iti abaymo ket saluadannanto ta sakam manipud iti pannakapalab-ogna.
for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
27 Saanmo nga iyimot ti kinaimbag kadagiti maikari iti daytoy, no adda kabaelam a mangaramid iti daytoy.
Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 Saanmo a kunaen iti kaarrubam, “Agsublikanto no bigat ket itedkonto kenka,” idinto nga addan kenka ti kuarta.
Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
29 Saanka nga agpanggep a mangdangran iti kaarrubam— ti agnanaed iti asidegmo ken agtaltalek kenka.
Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
30 Saanka a makirinikiar nga awan gapgapuna iti maysa a tao, idinto nga awan inaramidna kenka a dakes.
Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
31 Saanka nga umapal iti naranggas a tao wenno mangpili iti aniaman kadagiti wagasna.
Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
32 Ta ti ulbod a tao ket makarimon kenni Yahweh, ngem iyasidegna kenkuana dagiti nalinteg a tattao.
For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.
33 Ti lunod ni Yahweh ket adda iti balay dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem benbendisionanna ti pagtaengan dagiti nalinteg a tattao.
The LORD’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
34 Lalaisenna dagiti mananglais, ngem kakaasianna dagiti napakumbaba a tattao.
Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
35 Tawiden dagiti nasirib a tattao ti pammadayaw, ngem maibabainto dagiti maag.
The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
