Proverbs 24
1 Do not be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:
Saanmo nga ap-apalan dagiti dakes, wenno saanmo a tarigagayan ti makikadua kadakuada,
2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about mischief.
gapu ta agpangpanggep dagiti pusoda kadagiti rinaranggas, ken agibagbaga dagiti bibigda iti maipanggep iti riribuk.
3 Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
Babaen iti kinasirib, adda maipatakder a balay, ken babaen iti pannakaawat, naipasdek daytoy.
4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
Babaen iti pannakaammo, napunno dagiti siled kadagiti agkakapateg ken agkakapintas a kinabaknang.
5 A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;
Paneknekan ti masirib a tao a napigsa isuna, ken nasaysayaat ti tao nga addaan iti pannakaammo ngem iti tao a napigsa,
6 for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors.
ta babaen kadagiti nainsiriban a wagas ket mapagballigiam ti pannakigubatmo, ken adda balligi babaen kadagiti adu a mammagbaga.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he doesn't open his mouth in the gate.
Ti kinasirib ket nangato unay para iti maag, saanna nga ilukat ti ngiwatna kadagiti ruangan.
8 One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
Adda maysa a tao nga agpangpanggep nga agaramid iti dakes-nalaing nga agaramid iti linuloko ti iyaw-awag kenkuana dagiti tattao.
9 The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
Ti minamaag a panggep ket basol, ken um-umsien dagiti tattao ti mananglais.
10 If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
No ipakpakitam ti kinatakrutmo iti aldaw ti riribuk, nakapuyka ngarud.
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death. Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.
Ispalem dagiti maipanpanaw maiyap-apan iti ipapatay, ken tenglem dagiti agibar-ibar nga agturong iti pannakatayda.
12 If you say, "Look, we did not know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
No ibagam, “Awan ammomi maipanggep iti daytoy.” Saan kadi nga ammo ti Mangtimtimbang iti puso ti ibagbagam? Ken saan kadi nga ammo daytoy ti Mangsalsalaknib iti biagmo? Ken saan kadi nga itedto ti Dios no ania ti maikari iti tunggal maysa?
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste.
Anakko, manganka iti diro gapu ta nasayaat daytoy, gapu ta ti tedted ti diro ket nasam-it iti panagramanmo.
14 Likewise, know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, and your hope will not be cut off.
Kasta met ti kinasirib para iti kararuam- no birukem daytoy, addanto masakbayan ken saanto a mapukaw ti namnamam.
15 Do not lie in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Do not destroy his resting place.
Saanka nga aglemmeng nga aguray a kas kadagiti nadangkes a tattao a mangdarup iti balay dagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg. Saanmo a dadaelen ti pagtaenganna!
16 For the righteous may fall seven times, but gets up again, but the wicked will stumble in adversity.
Ta no matuang a maminpito ti tao nga agar-aramid ti nalinteg, bumangonto manen isuna, ngem dagiti nadangkes ket parmeken ti didigra.
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls. Do not let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
Saanka nga agrambak no marigrigatan ti kabusormo, ken saan koma nga aragsak ta pusom no maitublak isuna,
18 lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
ta no saan ket makita ni Yahweh ken amangan no saannaka a kanunongan gapu iti dayta ket saannan a kapungtot dayta a tao.
19 Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:
Saanka nga agdanag gapu kadagiti agar-aramid kadagiti dakes a banbanag, ken saanmo nga apalan dagiti nadangkes a tattao,
20 for there will be no reward to the evil man; and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
ta awan masakbayan ti dakes a tao, ken arigna a maiddepto ti lampara ti nadangkes.
21 My son, fear the LORD and the king. Do not join those who are rebellious:
Agbutengka kenni Yahweh, ken agbutengka iti ari, anakko; saanka a makikadua kadagiti mangsuksukir kadakuada,
22 for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both—who knows?
ta giddatonto a dumteng ti didigrada ket siasino ti makaammo iti kadakkel ti pannakadadael a dumteng manipud kadakuada?
23 These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
Dagitoy ket sasao met laeng dagiti masirib. No maipapan iti linteg, saan a nasayaat no adda panangidumduma iti panangukom.
24 He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him—
Siasinoman a mangibaga iti nagbasol, “Sika ti husto,” ket ilunodto dagiti tattao ken guraento dagiti nasion.
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
Ngem maaddaanto iti kasta unay a ragsak dagiti mangtubngar kadagiti nadangkes, ken addanto dumteng kadakuada a sagsagut a nasasayaat.
26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
Ti mangmangted iti pudno a sungbat ket arigna a mangmangted iti agek iti bibig.
27 Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
Aramidem ti trabahom iti ruar, samo isagana ti talon; kalpasan dayta, ipatakdermon ti balaymo.
28 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Do not deceive with your lips.
Saanka nga agsaksi iti maibusor iti kaarubam nga awan ti gapgapuna, ken saanka a mangallilaw babaen kadagiti bibigmo.
29 Do not say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
Saanmo nga ibaga, “Aramidekto kenkuana ti inaramidna kaniak; pagbayadekto isuna iti inaramidna.”
30 I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
Nagnaak iti talon ti tao a sadut, limmabasak iti kaubasan ti tao nga awan ammona.
31 Look, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
Nagtubtuboanen dagiti sisiit ti talonna, naabbonganen ti daga kadagiti siitan a mula, ken narban ti bato nga aladna.
32 Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
Kalpasanna, nakitak ket pinanunotko; kimmitaak ket nakasursuroak.
33 a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep;
Maturog pay bassit, iridep pay bassit, idalikepkep pay biit tapno makainana-
34 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
ket dumteng kenka ti kinapanglaw a kas iti agtatakaw, ken dumteng kenka dagiti panagkasapulam a kasla dagitoy ket nakaarmas a soldado.
