Dagiti Proverbio 18
1 Ti tao a mangiyad-adayo iti bagina ket mangbirbiruk iti bukodna a tarigagay, ken kabusorna ti nasayaat a panangikeddeng.
He that separateth himself seeketh [his own] desire, and rageth against all sound wisdom.
2 Saan a makasarak ti maysa a maag iti ragsak iti pannakaawat, ngem iti laeng panangipakaammona iti adda iti pusona.
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may reveal itself.
3 No dumteng ti nadangkes a tao, kakuyogna a dumteng ti pananguyaw-kakuyogna ti panangpabain ken panangumsi.
When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy cometh reproach.
4 Dagiti isawsawang ti ngiwat ti tao ket maiyarig iti naguuneg a danum; ti burayok ti kinasirib ket maiyarig iti agay-ayus a waig.
The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters; the wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
5 Saan a nasayaat nga ayunan dagiti nadangkes, wenno ipaidam ti hustisia kadagiti agar-aramid iti nalinteg.
To accept the person of the wicked is not good, [nor] to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6 Dagiti bibig ti maysa a maag ti mangipapaay kenkuana iti panagririri, ken agaw-awis ti ngiwatna iti pannakabaot.
A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes.
7 Ti ngiwat ti maysa a maag ti mismo a pakadadaelanna, ken siloanna ti bagina babaen kadagiti mismo a bibigna.
A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 Dagiti sasao ti maysa a managtsismis ket kasla taraon a naimas, ket dumanonda kadagiti kaunggan a paset ti bagi.
The words of a whisperer are as dainty, morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 Kasta met, a ti naliway iti trabahona ket kabsat ti tao nga adu ti madaddadaelna.
He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10 Ti nagan ni Yahweh ket kasla natibker a torre; natalged ti tao nga agar-aramid iti nalinteg nga agkamang iti daytoy.
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 Ti kinabaknang ti nabaknang ket arigna nga isu ti nasarikedkedan a siudadna, ken ti panangipagarupna ket nangato a pader daytoy.
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own imagination.
12 Sakbay ti pannakadadaelna, napalangguad ti puso ti maysa a tao, ngem umun-una ti panagpakumbaba sakbay ti pannakaitan-ok.
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour [goeth] humility.
13 Ti tao a sumungbat sakbay a dumngeg-isu ti kinamaag ken pakaibabainanna.
He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 Ti espiritu ti maysa a tao ket makalasat iti panagsakit, ngem siasino koma ti makaibtur iti naburak nga espiritu?
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?
15 Ti puso ti nalaing ket makagun-od iti pannakaammo, ken ti masirib a tao ket birbirukenna daytoy.
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 Ti sagut ti maysa a tao ket mabalin a manglukat iti dalan ken mangipan kenkuana iti sangoanan ti maysa a napateg a tao.
A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 Kasla pudno ti umuna a mangikalintegan iti kasona agingga a dumteng ti kabusorna a mangpalutpot kenkuana.
He that pleadeth his cause first [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out.
18 Ti panagbibinnunot ket urnosenna dagiti riri ken pagsisinaenna dagiti agkabusor.
The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19 Ti panagballigim a mangay-ayo iti napasakitan a kabsat ket narigrigat ngem iti panagballigim a mangparmek iti natibker a siudad, ken ti panagapa ket maiyarig kadagiti balunet iti maysa a palasio.
A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [such] contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 Mapno ti tian ti tao gapu iti bunga ti bibigna; mapnek isuna babaen iti maapit dagiti bibigna.
A man’s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
21 Ti patay ken biag ket adda iti pannakabalin ti dila, ken dagiti mangayat iti daytoy ket kanendanto ti bungana.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Ti siasinoman a makabirok iti asawa a babai ket makabirok iti nasayaat a banag ken makaawat iti pabor manipud kenni Yahweh.
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23 Agpakpakaasi ti marigrigat a tao, ngem nagubsang ti panangsungbat ti nabaknang a tao.
The poor useth entreaties: but the rich answereth roughly.
24 Ti mangibagbaga nga adu ti gagayyemna ket maipan iti pannakadadael babaen kadagitoy, ngem adda gayyem a nasingsinged ngem iti maysa a kabsat.
He that maketh many friends [doeth it] to his own destruction: but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
