Dagiti Proverbio 25
1 Dagitoy dagiti dadduma pay a nainsiriban a sasao ni Solomon nga insurat dagiti tattao ni Ezekias nga ari ti Juda.
These, too, are parables of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, transferred.
2 Pakaitan-okan ti Dios ti panangilimedna iti maysa a banag, ngem pakaidayawan dagiti ari ti mangsukimat iti daytoy.
It is to the glory of God to conceal a word, and it is to the glory of kings to investigate speech.
3 Kas kangato dagiti langit a nangato ken kauneg ti daga, kasta ti kaiyarigan ti panangsukimat iti puso dagiti ari.
Heaven above, and earth below, and the heart of kings are each unsearchable.
4 Ikkatem ti lati iti pirak, tapno mabalin nga aramaten ti mammanday ti pirak.
Take away the tarnish from silver, and a most pure vessel will go forth.
5 Kasta met nga ikkatem dagiti nadangkes a tattao iti imatang ti ari ket mapatibkerto ti tronona babaen iti panangaramidna iti umno.
Take away impiety from the face of the king, and his throne shall be made firm by justice.
6 Saanmo nga itan-ok ti bagim iti imatang ti ari ken saanka nga agtakder iti disso a para laeng kadagiti natatakneng a tattao.
Do not appear glorious before the king, and do not stand in the place of the great.
7 Nasaysayaat nga ibagana kenka nga, “Umaykadtoy,” ngem iti maibabainka iti sangoanan ti natakneng a tao. Ti nasaksiam,
For it is better that it should be said to you, “Ascend to here,” than that you should be humbled before the prince.
8 ket saanmo a dagus nga ipausig. Ta anianto ngay ti maaramidam no sikanto ti ibabain ti kaarrubam iti dayta a nasaksiam?
The things that your eyes have seen, do not offer hastily in a quarrel, lest afterward you may not be able to make amends, when you have dishonored your friend.
9 Pagiinnadalanyo ti saanyo a pagkinnaawatan iti kaarrubam a dakdakayo laeng ket saanmo nga ipakaammo dayta a palimed iti sabali,
Argue your case with your friend, and do not reveal the secret to an outsider,
10 ta no saan ket amangan no ibabainnakanto ti makangngeg ket mangiwarasto iti saan a nasayaat a maipanggep kenka ket saanto dayta a mapasardeng.
lest perhaps he may insult you, when he has heard it, and he might not cease to reproach you. Grace and friendship free a man; preserve these for yourself, lest you fall under reproach.
11 Ti panangibaga iti nasasayaat a sao ket kas iti balitok a naikabil iti pirak.
Whoever speaks a word at an opportune time is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
12 Ti nasirib a panangtubngar iti maysa a dumdumngeg ket kasla balitok a singsing wenno alahas a naaramid manipud iti kapipintasan a balitok.
Whoever reproves the wise and obedient ear is like an earring of gold with a shining pearl.
13 Ti napudno a mensahero ket mangipapaay iti nasayaat a rikna iti nangibaon kenkuana a kas iti lammiis ti niebe iti tiempo ti panagaapit.
Just like the cold of snow in a time of harvest, so also is a faithful messenger to him who sent him: he causes his soul to rest.
14 Kas kadagiti ulep ken angin nga awan tudona ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangipaspasindayag iti sagut a saanna met kadi nga ited.
A man who boasts and does not fulfill his promises is like clouds and wind, when rain does not follow.
15 Babaen iti kinaanus, mabalinka a makaallukoy iti turay, ken ti nalukneng a dila ket arigna a mabalin a makatukkol iti tulang.
By patience, a leader shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
16 No makasarakka iti diro, manganka laeng iti apagisu-ta no mapalalluam, isarwamto met laeng.
You have discovered honey; eat what is sufficient for you, lest perhaps, being filled up, you may vomit it.
17 Saanmo a kanayon nga ibaddek ta sakam iti balay ti kaarrubam ta amangan no mauma kenka ket guraennaka.
Withdraw your feet from the house of your neighbor, lest, when he has had his fill, he may hate you.
18 Ti tao a mangibagbaga iti palso a pammaneknek maibusor iti karrubana ket kasla igam a mausar iti gubat, wenno maysa a kampilan, wenno maysa a natirad a pana.
A man who speaks false testimony against his neighbor is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow.
19 Ti saan a napudno a tao a pagtaltalkam iti tiempo pannakariribuk ket arigna ti nadadael a ngipen wenno saka a maikagkaglis.
Whoever sets his hopes on the unfaithful in a day of anguish is like a rotten tooth and weary foot,
20 Ti tao nga ikankantaanna ti maysa a tao a nadagsen ti riknana ket kasla tay tao a mangus-ussob iti kawesna iti tiempo ti lammin, wenno kasla suka a naibukbok iti sugat.
and like one who loosens his garment in cold weather. Whoever sings verses to a wicked heart is like vinegar on baking soda. Just like a moth to a garment, and a worm to wood, so too does the sadness of a man do harm to the heart.
21 No mabisbisin ti kabusormo, ikkam isuna iti taraon a kanenna, ken no mawaw isuna, ikkam iti danum nga inumenna,
If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 ta arigna a mangpalaka kadagiti beggang nga ikabilmo ti ulona, ket gunggunaannakanto ni Yahweh.
For you will gather hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will repay you.
23 Ti kaiyarigan ti tao a mangpaunget kadagiti tattao ket kas iti angin manipud iti amianan a sigurado a mangiyeg iti tudo.
The north wind brings forth the rain, and a sorrowful face brings forth a detracting tongue.
24 Nasaysayaat ti agnaed iti suli ti tuktok ti balay ngem ti makikabbalay iti babai a mannakiapa.
It is better to sit in a corner of the attic, than with an argumentative woman and in a shared house.
25 Ti pakaiyarigan ti nasayaat a damag manipud iti adayo a pagilian ket kas iti nalammiis a danum iti tao a mawaw.
Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so too are good reports from a far away land.
26 Ti naimbag a tao nga agdiwerdiwer iti sangoanan dagiti nadangkes a tattao ket kas iti saan a mapagnumaran nga ubbog wenno nadadael a burayok.
The just falling down before the impious is like a fountain stirred up by feet and like a corrupted spring.
27 Saan a nasayaat ti mangan iti adu unay a diro; dayta ket kasla panangbirbirok iti adu a pakaitan-okan.
Just as whoever eats too much honey, it is not good for him, so also whoever is an investigator of what is majestic will be overwhelmed by glory.
28 Ti tao nga awanan panagteppel ket maiyarig iti siudad a nadadael ken awan paderna.
Just like a city lying in the open and without surrounding walls, so also is a man who is unable to restrain his own spirit in speaking.
