< Dagiti Proverbio 8 >

1 Saan aya met nga umaw-awag ti Kinasirib? Saan kadi nga ipigpigsa ti Pannakaawat ti timekna?
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding give forth her voice?
2 Kadagiti tapaw dagiti turod iti igid ti kalsada, iti nagsasabatan dagiti kalsada, agtaktakder ti Kinasirib.
On the top of high places by the way, at the cross-paths she taketh her stand.
3 Iti abay ti pagserkan ti siudad, iti asideg dagiti ruangan ti siudad, umaw-awag isuna.
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud.
4 “Tattao, umaw-awagak kadakayo ken pukpukkawak dagiti annak dagiti tattao.
Unto you, men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man:
5 Dakayo a saan pay a nasuroan, masapul a maawatanyo ti kinasirib ken dakayo a manggurgura iti pannakaammo, masapul a maaddaankayo iti mannakaawat a puso.
O ye simple, understand prudence; and ye foolish, understand sense.
6 Dumngegkayo ket mangisaoak kadagiti nasasayaat a banbanag ken inton aglukat ti bibigko, ibagak ti umno-
Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 ta mapagtalkan ti ibagbaga ti ngiwatko, ken kagura dagiti bibigko ti kinadangkes.
For my palate shall meditate truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 Nalinteg dagiti amin a sasao ti ngiwatko; awan kadagitoy ti makapaallilaw wenno makaiyaw-awan.
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing tortuous or perverse in them.
9 Dagiti amin a sasaok ket nalawag para iti makaawat; ti sasaok ket umno para kadagiti mangsapsapul iti pannakaammo.
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Piliem ti sursurok saan ket a ti pirak. Piliem ti pannakaammo saan ket a ti puro a balitok.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold:
11 Ta siak a Kinasirib, ket nasaysayaat ngem kadagiti alahas; awan kadagiti trarigagaymo ti mabalin a maiyasping kaniak.
for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not equal to it.
12 Siak a Kinasirib, ket kaduak nga agbibiag ti Kinamanakem, ken addaanak iti pannakaammo ken kinatimbeng.
I wisdom dwell [with] prudence, and find the knowledge [which cometh] of reflection.
13 Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket pananggura iti dakes- kagurgurak ti napannakkel ken natangsit, ti dakes a wagas, ken makaallilaw a panagsasao- kagurgurak dagitoy.
The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.
14 Adda nasayaat a balakadko ken nasayaat a kinasirib; adda pannakaawatko, ken kukuak ti kinapigsa.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am intelligence; I have strength.
15 Babaen kaniak nga agturay dagiti ari - kasta met dagiti natakneng a tattao, ken amin nga agturturay a nalinteg.
By me kings reign, and rulers make just decrees;
16 Babaen kaniak nga agturay a nalinteg dagiti prinsipe ken natatakneng ken dagiti amin a turay.
by me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth.
17 Ay-ayatek dagiti mangay-ayat kaniak, ken masarakandak dagiti nagaed a mangsapul kaniak.
I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.
18 Adda kaniak ti kinabaknang ken dayaw, awan patinggana a kinabaknang ken kinalinteg.
Riches and honour are with me; durable wealth and righteousness.
19 Nasaysayaat ti bungak ngem iti balitok, nasaysayaat uray pay ngem iti napino a balitok; nasaysayaat ti maipaayko ngem iti puro a pirak.
My fruit is better than fine gold, yea, than pure gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 Magmagnaak iti nalinteg a dalan, kadagiti dalan nga agturong iti umno,
I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 tapno makaitedak iti tawid kadagiti mangay-ayat kaniak ken tapno punoek dagiti pagiduldulinanda iti gameng.
that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.
22 Pinarsuanak ni Yahweh manipud idi punganay - ti immuna kadagiti inaramidna idi un-unana a panawen.
Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 Manipud idi nabayagen a panawen ket addaakon - manipud iti immuna, manipud iti panangrugi ti daga.
I was set up from eternity, from the beginning, before the earth was.
24 Sakbay pay a naadda dagiti taaw, naipasngayakon- sakbay pay a naadda dagiti ubbog nga aglaplapusanan iti danum,
When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 sakbay pay a naisaad dagiti bantay, ken sakbay pay a naadda dagiti turod, naiyanakakon.
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth;
26 Naiyanakakon sakbay pay nga inaramid ni Yahweh ti daga wenno dagiti tay-ak, wenno uray ti immuna a tapok ti lubong.
while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27 Addaakon idi inaramidna dagiti langit, idi inugedanna ti beddeng iti rabaw ti taaw.
When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he ordained the circle upon the face of the deep;
28 Addaakon idi inaramid ni Yahweh dagiti tangatang ken idi inaramidna dagiti burayok ti taaw.
when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong;
29 Addaak idi inaramidna dagiti pagpatinggaan ti baybay, tapno saan nga agwaras dagiti danum iti labes ti imbilinna a pagtalinaedan dagitoy, ken idi imbilinna ti rumbeng a pakaikabilan dagiti pundasion ti daga.
when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Addaak idi iti abayna, a kasla maysa a mangidaulo iti trabaho, ket siak idi ti ragsakna iti inaldaw, a kanayon a naragsak iti sangoananna.
then I was by him [his] nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Nakaragragsakak iti entero a lubongna, ken nakaragragsakak kadagiti tattao.
rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights [were] with the sons of men.
32 Ket ita, annakko, denggendak, agragsakto dagiti mangar-aramid kadagiti wagasko.
And now, sons, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keep my ways:
33 Denggenyo ti sursurok ken agmasiribkayo; saanyo a iyaleng-aleng daytoy.
hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Agragsakto ti dumdumngeg kaniak - nga agbanbantay nga inaldaw kadagiti ruanganko, a mangur-uray kaniak iti abay dagiti ridaw ti pagtaengak.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 Ta ti siasinoman a mangbirok kaniak, masarakanna ti biag, ken masarakanna ti pabor ni Yahweh.
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah;
36 Ngem ti saan a mangbirok kaniak, dangdangranna ti bagina; dagiti amin a manggurgura kaniak ket ay-ayatenda ti patay.”
but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
