Proverbs 23
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider well who is before thee;
No makisangoka a mangan iti maysa a turay, paliiwem a nasayaat ti adda iti sangoanam,
2 and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
ket mangikabilka iti kampit iti karabukobmo no sika tay tao a pagaayatna ti mangan iti adu a taraon.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties; for they are deceitful food.
Saanmo a tarigagayan dagiti naimas a taraon, ta taraon daytoy ti kinaulbod.
4 Weary not thyself to become rich; cease from thine own intelligence:
Saanka nga agtrabaho iti kasta unay tapno bumaknangka; ammom koma no kaanoka nga aginana.
5 wilt thou set thine eyes upon it, it is gone; for indeed it maketh itself wings and it flieth away as an eagle towards the heavens.
No dagita matam ket masisirap iti kuarta, agpukaw daytoy, ket kasla giddato nga iyunnatna dagiti payakna sa tumayab iti tangatang a kasla agila.
6 Eat thou not the food of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties.
Saanmo a kankanen ti taraon ti dakes a tao- isu ti tao a nabayagen a kumitkita iti taraonmo- ken saanmo a tarigagayan dagiti naimas a taraonna,
7 For as he thinketh in his soul, so is he. Eat and drink! will he say unto thee; but his heart is not with thee.
ta isuna tay kita iti tao a mangbilbilang ti gatad ti taraon. Kunana kenka, “Manganka ken uminomka!” ngem saan a dayta ti adda iti pusona.
8 Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou vomit up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet words.
Kayatmo pay ketdin nga isarua ti sangabassit a nakanmo, ket sayang laeng ti panagyamanmo kenkuana.
9 Speak not in the ears of a foolish [man], for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Saanmo a kasarsarita ti maag, ta umsiennanto dagiti nasirib a sasaom.
10 Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
Saanmo nga iyakar ti nagkakauna a mohon wenno agumen dagiti talon dagiti ulila,
11 for their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause against thee.
ta napigsa ti Mannubbotda, ket isunanto ti mangirupir iti kalinteganda a maibusor kenka.
12 Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
Ipapusom dagiti sursuro, ken denggem dagiti sasao iti kinasirib.
13 Withhold not correction from the child; for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die:
Saanka a bumdeng a mangisuro iti ubing, ta no bautem isuna, saan isuna a matay.
No bautem isuna, maisalakanmo ti kararuana manipud iti sheol. (Sheol h7585)
15 My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine;
Anakko, no nasirib ta pusom, naragsak met ngarud toy pusok;
16 and my reins shall exult, when thy lips speak right things.
agrag-o toy kaunggak no agisawsawang dagita bibigmo iti nasayaat.
17 Let not thy heart envy sinners, but [be thou] in the fear of Jehovah all the day;
Saanmo nga ipalubos nga apalan ta pusom dagiti managbasol, ngem itultuloymo ketdi ti agbuteng kenni Yahweh iti inaldaw.
18 for surely there is a result, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
Awan duadua nga adda masakbayan ket saanto a mapukaw ti namnamam.
19 Thou, my son, hear and be wise, and direct thy heart in the way.
Dumngegka, anakko, ket agbalinka a masirib ken agbiagka iti umno a wagas.
20 Be not among winebibbers, among riotous eaters of flesh.
Saanka a makikadua kadagiti mammartek, wenno kadagiti narawet a mangan iti karne,
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness clotheth with rags.
ta pumanglawto dagiti mammartek ken narawet, ket agkawesdanto iti rutay rutay.
22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
Dengggem ti amam a nangiputot kenka ken saanmo a laisen ti inam inton bumaket isuna.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; wisdom, and instruction, and intelligence.
Arigna a gatangem ti kinapudno, ngem saanmo nga ilaklako; arigna a gatangem ti kinasirib, panangisuro ken pannakaawat.
24 The father of a righteous [man] shall greatly rejoice, and he that begetteth a wise [son] shall have joy of him:
Agrag-o iti kasta unay ti ama ti tao nga agar-aramid iti nalinteg, ken agragsak met ti makin-anak iti maysa a masirib nga anak.
25 let thy father and thy mother have joy, and let her that bore thee rejoice.
Maragsakan koma da amam ken inam ken agrag-o koma ti nangisikog kenka.
26 My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Anakko, itedmo kaniak ta pusom, ket paliiwen koma dagita matam dagiti wagasko.
27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
Ta ti maysa a balangkantis ket maiyarig iti nauneg nga abut, ken maiyarig met iti akikid nga abut ti asawa ti sabali pay a lalaki.
28 She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous among men.
Aglemlemmeng isuna nga agur-uray a kas iti agtatakaw, ken papaaddoenna ti bilang dagiti nagulib iti sangkataoan.
29 Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who contentions? Who complaining? Who wounds without cause? Who redness of eyes?
Siasino aya ti kakaasi? Siasino aya ti agladladingit? Siasino aya ti makirangranget? Siasino aya ti agrekreklamo? Siasino aya ti nasugatan nga awan gapgapuna? Siasino aya ti limmablabbaga ti matana?
30 — They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to try mixed wine.
Dagidiay naigamer iti arak, dagidiay agin-inom iti naglalaok nga arak.
31 Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it sparkleth in the cup, and goeth down smoothly:
Saanmo a kitkitaen ti arak no nalabaga daytoy, no rumimat-rimat ti uneg ti kopa ken mayat ti panagaruyotna.
32 at the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
Iti udina, kumagat a kasla karasaen ken kumagat a kasla nagita nga uleg.
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall speak froward things;
Makakitanto dagiti matam kadagiti karkarna a banbanag, ket agisawangto ta pusom kadagiti saan nga um-umno a banbanag.
34 and thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, and as he that lieth down upon the top of a mast:
Agbalinkanto a maysa kadagiti matmaturog kadagiti nangangato a taaw wenno agid-idda kadagiti tali ken kawar ti barko.
35 — “They have smitten me, [and] I am not sore; they have beaten me, [and] I knew it not. When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.”
“Kinabildak!” kunamto, “ngem saanak a nasaktan. Pinang-ordak, ngem diak narikna. Kaanoakto a makariing? Mangbirukak pay iti sabali a mainum.”
