Proverbs 1
1 These are the (proverbs/wise sayings) that come from Solomon, the King of Israel, who was the son of [King] David.
Ang mga kawikaan ni Salomon na anak ni David na hari sa Israel:
2 (These proverbs [PRS] can teach people/By studying these proverbs, people can learn) how to be wise and how to obey what these proverbs teach them. They will [also] help people to understand which teachings are wise.
Upang umalam ng karunungan at turo; upang bulayin ang mga salita ng pagkaunawa;
3 These proverbs [PRS] will teach you how to discipline/control yourselves, how to conduct your lives, and how to do what is right and just [DOU].
Upang tumanggap ng turo sa pantas na paguugali, sa katuwiran, at kahatulan, at karampatan;
4 They will show [people] who do not [yet] know much how to do things that are smart. They will show young people how to become wise and how to make good plans/decisions.
Upang magbigay ng katalinuhan sa musmos. Kaalaman at pagbubulay sa kabataan:
5 Those who are wise should also pay attention [to these proverbs], in order to become more wise, and those who understand [these teachings] will receive good advice/guidance.
Upang marinig ng pantas, at lumago sa ikatututo: at upang tamuhin ng taong may unawa ang magagaling na payo:
6 Then they will be able to understand the meaning of proverbs and parables/metaphors, these wise sayings and (riddles/sayings that are difficult to understand).
Upang umunawa ng kawikaan at ng kahulugan; ng mga salita ng pantas, at ng kanilang malalabong sabi.
7 If [you want to be] wise, you must begin by revering Yahweh. [Only] foolish people despise wisdom and good advice/discipline.
Ang takot sa Panginoon ay pasimula ng kaalaman: nguni't ang mangmang ay humahamak sa karunungan at turo.
8 My son, pay attention to what [I], your father, am teaching you. And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
Anak ko, dinggin mo ang turo ng iyong ama, at huwag mong pabayaan ang kautusan ng iyong ina:
9 What we teach you [will make you respected like having] a lovely turban around your head and [like] a [beautiful] necklace to put around your neck.
Sapagka't sila'y magiging tali ng biyaya sa iyong ulo, at mga kuwintas sa ligid ng iyong leeg.
10 My son, if sinners tempt/entice you [to do what is wrong], say “No” to them.
Anak ko, kung ikaw ay hikayatin ng mga makasalanan, huwag mong tulutan.
11 They may say, “Come with us! Join us! We will hide and then kill [MTY] someone [who passes by]. We will ambush some helpless/innocent people.
Kung kanilang sabihin, sumama ka sa amin, tayo'y magsibakay sa pagbububo ng dugo, tayo'y mangagkubli ng silo na walang anomang kadahilanan sa walang sala;
12 We will kill them [HYP] and get rid of them completely, [just] like [people who are buried in] graves are gone forever. While they are in good health, we will send them to the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Sila'y lamunin nating buhay na gaya ng Sheol. At buo, na gaya ng nagsibaba sa lungaw; (Sheol h7585)
13 And we will seize all the things that they own. We will fill our houses with these things!
Tayo'y makakasumpong ng lahat na mahalagang pag-aari, ating pupunuin ang ating mga bahay ng samsam;
14 [So], come with us! Join our group! We will share with you the things that we steal.”
Ikaw ay makikipagsapalaran sa gitna namin; magkakaroon tayong lahat ng isang supot:
15 My son, do not accompany them! Do not walk on the roads with them!
Anak ko, huwag kang lumakad sa daan na kasama nila; pigilin mo ang iyong paa sa kanilang landas:
16 They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder [MTY] people.
Sapagka't ang kanilang mga paa ay nagsisitakbo sa kasamaan, at sila'y nangagmamadali sa pagbububo ng dugo.
17 It is useless to put out a (trap/net to catch a bird) because when a bird sees it, [it stays away from it].
Sapagka't walang kabuluhang naladlad ang silo, sa paningin ng alin mang ibon:
18 But those wicked people are not like the birds, [because they do not realize] that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
At binabakayan ng mga ito ang kanilang sariling dugo, kanilang ipinagkukubli ng silo ang kanilang sariling mga buhay.
19 That is what happens to people who eagerly try to get things [by violently attacking others]. They will only destroy themselves!
Ganyan ang mga lakad ng bawa't sakim sa pakinabang; na nagaalis ng buhay ng mga may-ari niyaon.
20 Wisdom [PRS] shouts to people in the streets, and calls out to people in the (plazas/town squares).
Karunungan ay humihiyaw na malakas sa lansangan; kaniyang inilalakas ang kaniyang tinig sa mga luwal na dako;
21 Wisdom calls out in noisy places, and at the entrances to cities.
Siya'y humihiyaw sa mga pangulong dako na pinaglilipunan; sa pasukan ng mga pintuang-bayan, sa bayan, kaniyang binibigkas ang kaniyang mga salita:
22 [Wisdom says], “How long will you stupid people continue to enjoy doing foolish things [RHQ]? How long will you people who ridicule God enjoy doing that [RHQ]? How long will you foolish people refuse to know [what things are right] [RHQ]?
Hanggang kailan kayong mga musmos, magsisiibig sa inyong kamusmusan? At ang mga nanunuya ay maliligaya sa panunuya, at ang mga mangmang ay mangagtatanim sa kaalaman?
23 If you pay attention to me when I rebuke you, I will tell you what I am thinking in my inner being; I will give you some good advice.
Magsibalik kayo sa aking saway: narito, aking ibubuhos ang aking espiritu sa inyo.
24 But when I called to you, you refused to listen. I beckoned to you to come to me, but you ignored me.
Sapagka't ako'y tumawag, at kayo'y tumanggi: aking iniunat ang aking kamay, at walang makinig;
25 I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen to me. I tried to correct you, but you rejected what I told you.
Kundi inyong iniuwi sa wala ang buo kong payo, at hindi ninyo inibig ang aking saway:
26 So [now], when you are experiencing troubles/disasters, I will laugh at you. When things happen that cause you to be afraid, I will make fun of you.
Ako naman ay tatawa sa kaarawan ng inyong kasakunaan: ako'y manunuya pagka ang inyong takot ay dumarating;
27 When calamities strike you like a big storm, when disasters hit you like a violent wind, when [all kinds of things] distress you and give you trouble, [I will ridicule you!]
Pagka ang iyong takot ay dumarating na parang bagyo. At ang inyong kasakunaan ay dumarating na parang ipoipo; pagka ang hirap at hapis ay dumating sa inyo.
28 [Wisdom also says], “When foolish people call to me [to help them], I will not answer them. They will search for me diligently/everywhere, but they will not find me.
Kung magkagayo'y tatawag sila sa akin, nguni't hindi ako sasagot; hahanapin nila akong masikap, nguni't hindi nila ako masusumpungan:
29 They refused to know [what things are right], and they decided not to revere Yahweh.
Sapagka't kanilang ipinagtanim ang kaalaman, at hindi pinili ang takot sa Panginoon.
30 They would not accept my advice, and they did not pay attention when I tried to correct them.
Ayaw sila ng aking payo; kanilang hinamak ang buo kong pagsaway:
31 So they will endure what will result [MET, DOU] from the evil way they have lived/behaved and the evil things they have planned to do.
Kaya't sila'y magsisikain ng bunga ng kanilang sariling lakad, at mabubusog ng kanilang sariling mga kagagawan.
32 Those who turn away from me are stupid/foolish; they will die because of doing that.
Sapagka't papatayin sila ng pagtalikod ng musmos, at ang pagkawalang balisa ng mga mangmang ay ang sisira sa kanila.
33 But those who pay attention to me will live peacefully and safely, and they will not be afraid that something will harm them.”
Nguni't ang nakikinig sa akin ay tatahang tiwasay. At tatahimik na walang takot sa kasamaan.
