Dagiti Proverbio 8
1 Saan aya met nga umaw-awag ti Kinasirib? Saan kadi nga ipigpigsa ti Pannakaawat ti timekna?
You shall proclaim wisdom, that understanding may be obedient to you.
2 Kadagiti tapaw dagiti turod iti igid ti kalsada, iti nagsasabatan dagiti kalsada, agtaktakder ti Kinasirib.
For she is on lofty eminences, and stands in the midst of the ways.
3 Iti abay ti pagserkan ti siudad, iti asideg dagiti ruangan ti siudad, umaw-awag isuna.
For she sits by the gates of princes, and sings in the entrances, [saying],
4 “Tattao, umaw-awagak kadakayo ken pukpukkawak dagiti annak dagiti tattao.
You, O men, I exhort; and utter my voice to the sons of men.
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 you simple, understand subtlety, and you that are untaught, imbibe knowledge.
6 Dumngegkayo ket mangisaoak kadagiti nasasayaat a banbanag ken inton aglukat ti bibigko, ibagak ti umno-
Listen to me; for I will speak solemn [truths]; and will produce right [sayings] from my lips.
7 ta mapagtalkan ti ibagbaga ti ngiwatko, ken kagura dagiti bibigko ti kinadangkes.
For my throat shall meditate truth; and false lips are an abomination before me.
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 in them wrong or perverse.
9 Dagiti amin a sasaok ket nalawag para iti makaawat; ti sasaok ket umno para kadagiti mangsapsapul iti pannakaammo.
They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.
10 Piliem ti sursurok saan ket a ti pirak. Piliem ti pannakaammo saan ket a ti puro a balitok.
Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold.
11 Ta siak a Kinasirib, ket nasaysayaat ngem kadagiti alahas; awan kadagiti trarigagaymo ti mabalin a maiyasping kaniak.
For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.
12 Siak a Kinasirib, ket kaduak nga agbibiag ti Kinamanakem, ken addaanak iti pannakaammo ken kinatimbeng.
I wisdom have lived [with] counsel and knowledge, and I have called upon understanding.
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 the Lord hates unrighteousness, and insolence, and pride, and the ways of wicked men; and I hate the perverse ways of bad men.
14 Adda nasayaat a balakadko ken nasayaat a kinasirib; adda pannakaawatko, ken kukuak ti kinapigsa.
Counsel and safety are mine; prudence is mine, and strength is mine.
15 Babaen kaniak nga agturay dagiti ari - kasta met dagiti natakneng a tattao, ken amin nga agturturay a nalinteg.
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 Babaen kaniak nga agturay a nalinteg dagiti prinsipe ken natatakneng ken dagiti amin a turay.
By me nobles become great, and monarchs by me rule over 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 shall find [me].
18 Adda kaniak ti kinabaknang ken dayaw, awan patinggana a kinabaknang ken kinalinteg.
Wealth and glory belong to me; yes, abundant possessions 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.
[It is] better to have my fruit than [to have] gold and precious stones; and my produce is better than choice silver.
20 Magmagnaak iti nalinteg a dalan, kadagiti dalan nga agturong iti umno,
I walk in ways of righteousness, and [am] conversant with the paths of judgment;
21 tapno makaitedak iti tawid kadagiti mangay-ayat kaniak ken tapno punoek dagiti pagiduldulinanda iti gameng.
that I may divide substance to them that love me, and may fill their treasures with good things. If I declare to you the things that daily happen, I will remember [also] to recount the things of old.
22 Pinarsuanak ni Yahweh manipud idi punganay - ti immuna kadagiti inaramidna idi un-unana a panawen.
The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.
23 Manipud idi nabayagen a panawen ket addaakon - manipud iti immuna, manipud iti panangrugi ti daga.
He established me before time [was] in the beginning, before he made the earth:
24 Sakbay pay a naadda dagiti taaw, naipasngayakon- sakbay pay a naadda dagiti ubbog nga aglaplapusanan iti danum,
even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:
25 sakbay pay a naisaad dagiti bantay, ken sakbay pay a naadda dagiti turod, naiyanakakon.
before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.
26 Naiyanakakon sakbay pay nga inaramid ni Yahweh ti daga wenno dagiti tay-ak, wenno uray ti immuna a tapok ti lubong.
The Lord made countries and uninhabited [tracks], and the highest inhabited parts of the world.
27 Addaakon idi inaramidna dagiti langit, idi inugedanna ti beddeng iti rabaw ti taaw.
When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:
28 Addaakon idi inaramid ni Yahweh dagiti tangatang ken idi inaramidna dagiti burayok ti taaw.
and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:
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.
decree. and when he strengthened 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.
I was by him, suiting [myself to him], I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.
31 Nakaragragsakak iti entero a lubongna, ken nakaragragsakak kadagiti tattao.
For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced among the children of men.
32 Ket ita, annakko, denggendak, agragsakto dagiti mangar-aramid kadagiti wagasko.
Now then, [my] son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall listen to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;
33 Denggenyo ti sursurok ken agmasiribkayo; saanyo a iyaleng-aleng daytoy.
[Hear wisdom and be wise, and be not strangers to it. ]
34 Agragsakto ti dumdumngeg kaniak - nga agbanbantay nga inaldaw kadagiti ruanganko, a mangur-uray kaniak iti abay dagiti ridaw ti pagtaengak.
watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my entrances.
35 Ta ti siasinoman a mangbirok kaniak, masarakanna ti biag, ken masarakanna ti pabor ni Yahweh.
For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and [in them] is prepared favor from the Lord.
36 Ngem ti saan a mangbirok kaniak, dangdangranna ti bagina; dagiti amin a manggurgura kaniak ket ay-ayatenda ti patay.”
But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls: and they that hate me love death.
