< Proverbs 13 >

1 Children who are wise (pay attention/heed it) when their parents discipline/correct them; but foolish children do not pay attention when someone rebukes them [for their bad behavior].
Denggen ti masirib nga anak ti panangisuro ti amana, ngem ti mananglalais saanto a dumngeg iti panangtubngar.
2 Good people are rewarded [IDM] for the good things [MET] that they say, but those who desire to deceive others are [very] eager to act violently.
Ragragsaken ti maysa a tao dagiti naimbag a banbanag manipud iti bunga ti ngiwatna, ngem ti paggugusto ti mangliliput ket kinaranggas.
3 Those who are [very] careful about what they say [MTY] will live a long life; those who talk (without thinking/too much) will ruin themselves.
Ti mangsalsaluad iti ngiwatna salsalaknibanna ti biagna, ngem ti sumanao daddadaelenna ti bagina.
4 People who are lazy want things very much, but they will not get anything [HYP]. People who work hard will get all that they want.
Awan kadagiti tarigagay dagiti nasadut a tattao ti magun-dda, ngem magun-odto amin dagiti nagaget a tattao dagiti tarigagayda.
5 Righteous/Honest people hate/detest lies, but what wicked people do (is very disgraceful/stinks) [DOU].
Ti agar-aramid iti umno ket kagurgurana ti kinaulbod, ngem pagbalinen ti nadangkes a tao ti bagina a makarimon, ken ar-aramidenna ti nakababain.
6 The behavior [PRS] of those who always do what is right will protect them, but sinful [behavior will] ruin wicked people.
Salsalakniban ti kinalinteg dagiti saan a biddut ti wagasda, ngem iyadayo ti kinadangkes dagiti agbasbasol.
7 Some people who have nothing pretend to be rich, but other people who are very rich pretend to be poor.
Adda maysa a tao a mangpabpabaknang iti bagina ngem awanan met a pulos, ken adda ti maysa a tao a mangmangted kadagiti amin a kukuana, ngem, pudpudno a baknang isuna.
8 Rich people are able to pay people who want to kill them, [with the result that they will be protected, not killed], but poor people [do not have to worry about that because] no one threatens to kill them.
Mabalin a subboten ti nabaknang a tao ti biagna babaen kadagiti sanikuana, ngem saanto a pulos a makaawat ti napanglaw a tao iti kasta a kita ti pangta.
9 Righteous [people] are like a lamp [MET] that shines brightly, but wicked [people] are like [MET] a lamp that will [soon] be extinguished.
Agragrag-o ti silaw ti agar-aramid iti umno, ngem maiddep ti pagsilawan ti nadangkes.
10 [People] who are arrogant/proud [always] cause strife; those who are wise ask [other people] for good advice.
Ti kinatangsit ket mangparnuay laeng iti riri, ngem adda kinasirib kadagiti dumdumngeg iti naimbag a pammagbaga.
11 Those who acquire a lot of money quickly [by doing what is wrong, probably] will lose it [quickly], but if people earn money slowly, the amount of money they have will increase.
Maibus ti kinabaknang no kasta unay ti kinaparammag, ngem ti agur-urnong iti kuarta babaen iti panagtrabaho ti imana mapaaduna ti kuartana.
12 When people do not receive the things that they are expecting to receive, (it causes them to despair/they become very sad); but if you receive what you are desiring to get, that [will be like a tree] [MET] [whose fruit gives you] life (OR, that will cause you to be joyful).
No naitantan ti namnama, burakenna ti puso, ngem ti kalikagum a natungpal ket maiyarig a kayo ti biag.
13 Those who despise [the good] advice [that others give them] are bringing ruin on themselves; those who pay attention to that advice will (be secure/succeed).
Ti tao a mangum-umsi iti sursuro ket sagrapennanto met laeng daytoy, ngem magunggonaanto ti tao a mangraem iti bilin.
14 What wise [people] teach is [like] a fountain whose [water] gives life [MET]; what they teach you will help you to escape when something dangerous is threatening to kill you [MET].
Ti sursuro ti masirib a tao ket maiyarig a burayok ti biag, iyadayunaka manipud kadagiti silo ni patay.
15 [People] respect those who have good sense, but those who cannot be trusted are on the road to being ruined/destroyed (OR, will have a lot of difficulties/troubles).
Makagun-od iti pabor ti nasayaat a pannakaawat, ngem awan patinggana ti dalan ti mangliliput.
16 Those who have good sense always think carefully/wisely before they do something; foolish people show [by what they say and do] that they are foolish.
Mangngeddeng dagiti manakem a tattao segun iti pannakaammoda, ngem ibutbutaktak ti maag ti kinamaagna.
17 Messengers who are not reliable cause trouble, but those who faithfully [deliver their messages] cause people to act peacefully.
Matnag iti riribuk ti mensahero a nadangkes, ngem mangiyeg iti kapia ti mensahero a napudno.
18 Those who refuse to pay attention when others discipline/correct them will become poor and disgraced; [people] respect those who accept it when they are rebuked [for their bad behavior].
Pumanglaw ken maibabainto ti saan a mangikankano iti panangdisiplina, ngem maidaydayawto ti makasursuro manipud iti pannakailintegna.
19 It is delightful to receive what we desire; foolish people hate/refuse to turn away from doing evil.
Ti natungpal a kalikagum ket nasam-it iti paggugusto, ngem kagurgura dagiti maag a tallikudan ti kinadakes.
20 Those who habitually associate with wise people become wise; those who (are close friends of/associate with) foolish people will (regret it/be ruined).
Makipagbiagka kadagiti masirib a tattao ket agbalinka a masirib, ngem dagiti kakaddua dagiti maag ket agsagaba iti kinaranggas.
21 Sinners have trouble [PRS] wherever they go, but things will go well for righteous [people].
Kamkamaten ti didigra dagiti managbasol, ngem magunggonaan iti nasayaat dagiti mangar-aramid iti umno.
22 When good people [die], their grandchildren inherit their money; but when sinners [die], the money that they had will end up in the hands of righteous [people].
Ti nasayaat a tao mangibati iti tawiden dagiti appokona, ngem ti kinabaknang ti managbasol ket maidulin para kadagiti agar-aramid iti umno.
23 [Sometimes] poor [people’s] fields produce plenty of food, but unjust people take away all that food.
Ti saan a naarado a taltalon a kukua ti napanglaw ket mabalin a mangpaadda iti adu a taraon, ngem pukawen daytoy ti kinakillo.
24 Those who do not punish their children [for bad behavior] do not [really] love them; those who love their children start to discipline them when the children are still young.
Ti tao a saan a mangdisdisiplina iti anakna, kagurgurana ti anakna, ngem ti tao a mangay-ayat iti anakna ket disdisiplinaenna daytoy.
25 Righteous [people] have enough food to eat and be satisfied, but the stomachs of wicked [people] [SYN] are [always] empty.
Ti tao nga agar-aramid iti umno ket mangan agingga a mapennek, ngem ti tiyan ti nadangkes ket kanayon a mabisin.
