< Dagiti Proverbio 1 >

1 Dagiti proverbio ni Solomon nga anak ni David, ti ari ti Israel.
These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,
2 Mangisuro dagitoy a proverbio iti kinasirib ken sursuro, mangisuro kadagiti sasao iti pudno a pannakaawat,
for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,
3 tapno maawatyo koma ti pannakailinteg tapno agbiagkayo babaen iti panangaramid iti umno, nalinteg, ken maiparbeng.
and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.
4 Mangted met dagitoy a proverbio iti kinasirib kadagiti saan a nasuroan, ken mangted iti pannakaammo ken kinatimbeng kadagiti agtutubo.
To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,
5 Dumngeg koma dagiti nasirib a tattao ket manayunan ti pannakasursuroda, ken makagun-od koma dagiti mannakaawat a tattao iti pannakatarabay,
let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel
6 tapno maawatanda dagiti proverbio, pagsasao, ken dagiti sasao dagiti nasirib a tattao ken dagiti burburtiada.
by understanding the proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7 Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket isu ti pangrugian iti pannakaammo— laisen dagiti maag ti kinasirib ken disiplina.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
8 Anakko, denggem dagiti sursuro ti amam, ken saanmo a baybay-an dagiti annuroten ti inam;
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
9 agbalindanto a makaay-ayo a balangat ti ulom ken kuwintas iti tengngedmo.
For they are a garland of grace on your head and a pendant around your neck.
10 Anakko, no awisendaka dagiti managbasol iti basolda, agkedkedka a sumurot kadakuada.
My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.
11 No kunaenda, “Kumuyogka kadakami, mangpadaantayo iti patayentayo, aglemmengtayo ket mangdaruptayo lattan kadagiti inosente a tattao.
If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause,
12 Alun-onentayo ida a sibibiag, kas iti panangala ti sheol kadagiti nasalun-at, ket pagbalinentayo ida a kas kadagiti matmatnag iti abut. (Sheol h7585)
let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
13 Makasaraktayo kadagiti amin a kita dagiti napapateg a banbanag; punnoentayo dagiti balbalaytayo kadagiti tinakawtayo kadagiti dadduma.
We will find all manner of precious goods; we will fill our houses with plunder.
14 Makikappengka kadakami; pagbalinentayo a maymaysa ti supottayo.”
Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—
15 Anakko, saanka a makipagna kadakuada iti dayta a dalan; saanmo nga idisdiso ta sakam iti pagpagnaanda;
my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
16 tumartaray dagiti sakada iti kinadakes ken agdardarasda a mangpasayasay iti dara.
For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
17 Ta awan serserbina nga agipakatka iti iket a mangtiliw iti billit kabayatan a kumitkita ti billit.
How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
18 Agpadpadaan dagitoy a tattao a mangpapatayto met laeng kadagiti mismo a bagbagida— mangipakpakatda iti palab-og para kadagiti mismo a bagbagida.
But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.
19 Kasta dagiti wagas ti amin a tao a manggunggun-od kadagiti kinabaknang babaen iti kinakillo; dagiti banag a nagun-od babaen iti saan a maiparbeng a wagas ti mangpukawto kadagiti biag dagiti kumpet iti daytoy.
Such is the fate of all who are greedy, whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.
20 Agpukpukkaw ti kinasirib iti kalsada, ipigpigsana ti timekna kadagiti nagtengngaan ti ili;
Wisdom calls out in the street, she lifts her voice in the square;
21 aglaawlaaw isuna iti nagsasabatan dagiti kalsada, iti pagserkan dagiti ruangan ti siudad ket kunkunana,
in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech:
22 “Dakayo nga awanan iti kinasirib, kasano pay kapaut aya ti panangay-ayatyo iti saanyo a maaw-awatan? Dakayo a mananglais, kasano pay kabayag aya ti panangragragsakyo iti pananglalaisyo, ken dakayo a maag, kasano pay kabayag aya a gurguraenyo ti kinalaing?
“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?
23 Denggenyo ti panangbabalawko; ibukbukkonto dagiti kapanunotak kadakayo; ipakaammokto dagiti sasaok kadakayo.
If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.
24 Immawagak ket saankayo a dimngeg; Inyunnatko ti imak, ngem awan ti nangikaskaso.
Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,
25 Ngem saanyo nga inkankano dagiti amin a sursurok ken saanyo nga impangag ti panangtubtubngarko.
because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,
26 Katawaakto ti pannakadidigrayo, laisenkayonto inton dumteng ti panagbuteng—
in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,
27 inton dumteng a kasla bagyo ti kasta unay a butengyo ket iyanginnakayo ti didigra a kas iti alipugpog, inton dumteng ti panagrigat ken panagtuok kadakayo.
when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.
28 Iti kasta ket awagandakto, ngem saanakto a sumungbat; kastanto unay ti panangawagda kaniak, ngem saandakto a masarakan.
Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
29 Gapu ta kagurada ti pannakaammo ken saanda a pinili ti agbuteng kenni Yahweh,
For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD.
30 saanda a sinurot ti sursurok, ken linaisda amin a panangilintegko.
They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof.
31 Kanendanto ti bunga dagiti aramidda, ket mapnekdanto babaen iti bunga dagiti panggepda.
So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 Mapapatayto dagiti saan a nasuroan inton tumallikudda, ket ti di panangikaskaso dagiti maag ti mangdadaelto kadakuada.
For the waywardness of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
33 Ngem ti siasinoman a dumngeg kaniak ket agbiagto a sitatalged ken aginananto a sitatalged nga awanan iti panagbuteng iti didigra.”
But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety, secure from the fear of evil.”
