Dagiti Proverbio 8
1 Saan aya met nga umaw-awag ti Kinasirib? Saan kadi nga ipigpigsa ti Pannakaawat ti timekna?
Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise 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, where the paths meet, she stands.
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 entry doors, she cries aloud:
4 “Tattao, umaw-awagak kadakayo ken pukpukkawak dagiti annak dagiti tattao.
“I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
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.
You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
6 Dumngegkayo ket mangisaoak kadagiti nasasayaat a banbanag ken inton aglukat ti bibigko, ibagak ti umno-
Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
7 ta mapagtalkan ti ibagbaga ti ngiwatko, ken kagura dagiti bibigko ti kinadangkes.
For my mouth speaks truth. 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 crooked 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 who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
10 Piliem ti sursurok saan ket a ti pirak. Piliem ti pannakaammo saan ket a ti puro a balitok.
Receive my instruction rather than silver, 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. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
12 Siak a Kinasirib, ket kaduak nga agbibiag ti Kinamanakem, ken addaanak iti pannakaammo ken kinatimbeng.
“I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
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 is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
14 Adda nasayaat a balakadko ken nasayaat a kinasirib; adda pannakaawatko, ken kukuak ti kinapigsa.
Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
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 princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
17 Ay-ayatek dagiti mangay-ayat kaniak, ken masarakandak dagiti nagaed a mangsapul kaniak.
I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 Adda kaniak ti kinabaknang ken dayaw, awan patinggana a kinabaknang ken kinalinteg.
With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity.
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 gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.
20 Magmagnaak iti nalinteg a dalan, kadagiti dalan nga agturong iti umno,
I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,
21 tapno makaitedak iti tawid kadagiti mangay-ayat kaniak ken tapno punoek dagiti pagiduldulinanda iti gameng.
that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
22 Pinarsuanak ni Yahweh manipud idi punganay - ti immuna kadagiti inaramidna idi un-unana a panawen.
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.
23 Manipud idi nabayagen a panawen ket addaakon - manipud iti immuna, manipud iti panangrugi ti daga.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.
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 born, when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 sakbay pay a naisaad dagiti bantay, ken sakbay pay a naadda dagiti turod, naiyanakakon.
Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born;
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 established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
28 Addaakon idi inaramid ni Yahweh dagiti tangatang ken idi inaramidna dagiti burayok ti taaw.
when he established the clouds above, when the springs 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 gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out 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 the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
31 Nakaragragsakak iti entero a lubongna, ken nakaragragsakak kadagiti tattao.
rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
32 Ket ita, annakko, denggendak, agragsakto dagiti mangar-aramid kadagiti wagasko.
“Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Denggenyo ti sursurok ken agmasiribkayo; saanyo a iyaleng-aleng daytoy.
Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.
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 who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
35 Ta ti siasinoman a mangbirok kaniak, masarakanna ti biag, ken masarakanna ti pabor ni Yahweh.
For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain 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 he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”
