< Dagiti Proverbio 23 >

1 No makisangoka a mangan iti maysa a turay, paliiwem a nasayaat ti adda iti sangoanam,
When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2 ket mangikabilka iti kampit iti karabukobmo no sika tay tao a pagaayatna ti mangan iti adu a taraon.
And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3 Saanmo a tarigagayan dagiti naimas a taraon, ta taraon daytoy ti kinaulbod.
Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4 Saanka nga agtrabaho iti kasta unay tapno bumaknangka; ammom koma no kaanoka nga aginana.
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5 No dagita matam ket masisirap iti kuarta, agpukaw daytoy, ket kasla giddato nga iyunnatna dagiti payakna sa tumayab iti tangatang a kasla agila.
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 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,
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 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.
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8 Kayatmo pay ketdin nga isarua ti sangabassit a nakanmo, ket sayang laeng ti panagyamanmo kenkuana.
The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9 Saanmo a kasarsarita ti maag, ta umsiennanto dagiti nasirib a sasaom.
Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10 Saanmo nga iyakar ti nagkakauna a mohon wenno agumen dagiti talon dagiti ulila,
Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11 ta napigsa ti Mannubbotda, ket isunanto ti mangirupir iti kalinteganda a maibusor kenka.
For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12 Ipapusom dagiti sursuro, ken denggem dagiti sasao iti kinasirib.
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Saanka a bumdeng a mangisuro iti ubing, ta no bautem isuna, saan isuna a matay.
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 No bautem isuna, maisalakanmo ti kararuana manipud iti sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. (Sheol h7585)
15 Anakko, no nasirib ta pusom, naragsak met ngarud toy pusok;
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16 agrag-o toy kaunggak no agisawsawang dagita bibigmo iti nasayaat.
Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17 Saanmo nga ipalubos nga apalan ta pusom dagiti managbasol, ngem itultuloymo ketdi ti agbuteng kenni Yahweh iti inaldaw.
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of Yhwh all the day long.
18 Awan duadua nga adda masakbayan ket saanto a mapukaw ti namnamam.
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19 Dumngegka, anakko, ket agbalinka a masirib ken agbiagka iti umno a wagas.
Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Saanka a makikadua kadagiti mammartek, wenno kadagiti narawet a mangan iti karne,
Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 ta pumanglawto dagiti mammartek ken narawet, ket agkawesdanto iti rutay rutay.
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Dengggem ti amam a nangiputot kenka ken saanmo a laisen ti inam inton bumaket isuna.
Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23 Arigna a gatangem ti kinapudno, ngem saanmo nga ilaklako; arigna a gatangem ti kinasirib, panangisuro ken pannakaawat.
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24 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.
The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25 Maragsakan koma da amam ken inam ken agrag-o koma ti nangisikog kenka.
Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26 Anakko, itedmo kaniak ta pusom, ket paliiwen koma dagita matam dagiti wagasko.
My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27 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.
For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28 Aglemlemmeng isuna nga agur-uray a kas iti agtatakaw, ken papaaddoenna ti bilang dagiti nagulib iti sangkataoan.
She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
29 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?
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30 Dagidiay naigamer iti arak, dagidiay agin-inom iti naglalaok nga arak.
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Saanmo a kitkitaen ti arak no nalabaga daytoy, no rumimat-rimat ti uneg ti kopa ken mayat ti panagaruyotna.
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 Iti udina, kumagat a kasla karasaen ken kumagat a kasla nagita nga uleg.
At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33 Makakitanto dagiti matam kadagiti karkarna a banbanag, ket agisawangto ta pusom kadagiti saan nga um-umno a banbanag.
Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34 Agbalinkanto a maysa kadagiti matmaturog kadagiti nangangato a taaw wenno agid-idda kadagiti tali ken kawar ti barko.
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35 “Kinabildak!” kunamto, “ngem saanak a nasaktan. Pinang-ordak, ngem diak narikna. Kaanoakto a makariing? Mangbirukak pay iti sabali a mainum.”
They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
