Dagiti Proverbio 8
1 Saan aya met nga umaw-awag ti Kinasirib? Saan kadi nga ipigpigsa ti Pannakaawat ti timekna?
Behold, wisdom calleth, and understanding sendeth forth her voice,
2 Kadagiti tapaw dagiti turod iti igid ti kalsada, iti nagsasabatan dagiti kalsada, agtaktakder ti Kinasirib.
On the top of high places, by the wayside, at the house where there are [many] paths doth she place herself.
3 Iti abay ti pagserkan ti siudad, iti asideg dagiti ruangan ti siudad, umaw-awag isuna.
Alongside of gates, at the opening of the city, at the entrance of the town[-doors] doth she call loudly,
4 “Tattao, umaw-awagak kadakayo ken pukpukkawak dagiti annak dagiti tattao.
Unto you, O men, I call, and my voice [goeth forth] to the sons of men,
5 Dakayo a saan pay a nasuroan, masapul a maawatanyo ti kinasirib ken dakayo a manggurgura iti pannakaammo, masapul a maaddaankayo iti mannakaawat a puso.
Learn, O ye simple, to understand prudence: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Dumngegkayo ket mangisaoak kadagiti nasasayaat a banbanag ken inton aglukat ti bibigko, ibagak ti umno-
Hear! for of noble things will I speak; and the opening of my lips shall be of what is equitable.
7 ta mapagtalkan ti ibagbaga ti ngiwatko, ken kagura dagiti bibigko ti kinadangkes.
For truth uttereth my palate ever, and the abomination of my lips is wickedness.
8 Nalinteg dagiti amin a sasao ti ngiwatko; awan kadagitoy ti makapaallilaw wenno makaiyaw-awan.
In righteousness are all the sayings of my mouth, there is in them nothing crooked or perverse.
9 Dagiti amin a sasaok ket nalawag para iti makaawat; ti sasaok ket umno para kadagiti mangsapsapul iti pannakaammo.
They are all evident to the man of understanding, and correct to those that have obtained knowledge.
10 Piliem ti sursurok saan ket a ti pirak. Piliem ti pannakaammo saan ket a ti puro a balitok.
Accept my correction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 Ta siak a Kinasirib, ket nasaysayaat ngem kadagiti alahas; awan kadagiti trarigagaymo ti mabalin a maiyasping kaniak.
For wisdom is better than pearls; and all the things that men wish for are not equal to her.
12 Siak a Kinasirib, ket kaduak nga agbibiag ti Kinamanakem, ken addaanak iti pannakaammo ken kinatimbeng.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and the knowledge of discreet thoughts do I discover.
13 Ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh ket pananggura iti dakes- kagurgurak ti napannakkel ken natangsit, ti dakes a wagas, ken makaallilaw a panagsasao- kagurgurak dagitoy.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride and arrogance, and the evil way: and the mouth of perverseness do I hate.
14 Adda nasayaat a balakadko ken nasayaat a kinasirib; adda pannakaawatko, ken kukuak ti kinapigsa.
Mine are counsel and sound wisdom: I am understanding; mine is might.
15 Babaen kaniak nga agturay dagiti ari - kasta met dagiti natakneng a tattao, ken amin nga agturturay a nalinteg.
Through me do kings reign, and chieftains give decrees [in] righteousness.
16 Babaen kaniak nga agturay a nalinteg dagiti prinsipe ken natatakneng ken dagiti amin a turay.
Through me do princes rule, and the nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 Ay-ayatek dagiti mangay-ayat kaniak, ken masarakandak dagiti nagaed a mangsapul kaniak.
I indeed love those that love me: and those that seek me earnestly shall find me.
18 Adda kaniak ti kinabaknang ken dayaw, awan patinggana a kinabaknang ken kinalinteg.
Riches and honor are with me, yea, enduring wealth and righteousness.
19 Nasaysayaat ti bungak ngem iti balitok, nasaysayaat uray pay ngem iti napino a balitok; nasaysayaat ti maipaayko ngem iti puro a pirak.
My fruit is better than gold, and than fine gold; and my products, than choice silver.
20 Magmagnaak iti nalinteg a dalan, kadagiti dalan nga agturong iti umno,
On the road of righteousness do I walk firmly, in the midst the paths of justice:
21 tapno makaitedak iti tawid kadagiti mangay-ayat kaniak ken tapno punoek dagiti pagiduldulinanda iti gameng.
That I may cause those that love me to inherit a lasting possession; and their treasures will I fill
22 Pinarsuanak ni Yahweh manipud idi punganay - ti immuna kadagiti inaramidna idi un-unana a panawen.
The Lord created me as the beginning of his way, the first of his works from the commencement,
23 Manipud idi nabayagen a panawen ket addaakon - manipud iti immuna, manipud iti panangrugi ti daga.
From eternity was I appointed chief, from the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.
24 Sakbay pay a naadda dagiti taaw, naipasngayakon- sakbay pay a naadda dagiti ubbog nga aglaplapusanan iti danum,
When there were yet no depths, was I brought forth; when there were yet no springs laden heavily with water.
25 sakbay pay a naisaad dagiti bantay, ken sakbay pay a naadda dagiti turod, naiyanakakon.
Before the mountains were yet sunk down, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 Naiyanakakon sakbay pay nga inaramid ni Yahweh ti daga wenno dagiti tay-ak, wenno uray ti immuna a tapok ti lubong.
While as yet he had not made the land and open fields, nor the chief of the dust of the world.
27 Addaakon idi inaramidna dagiti langit, idi inugedanna ti beddeng iti rabaw ti taaw.
When he prepared the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle over the face of the deep;
28 Addaakon idi inaramid ni Yahweh dagiti tangatang ken idi inaramidna dagiti burayok ti taaw.
When he fastened the skies above; when the springs of the deep became strong;
29 Addaak idi inaramidna dagiti pagpatinggaan ti baybay, tapno saan nga agwaras dagiti danum iti labes ti imbilinna a pagtalinaedan dagitoy, ken idi imbilinna ti rumbeng a pakaikabilan dagiti pundasion ti daga.
When he assigned to the sea his decree, that the waters should not transgress his order: when he established firmly the foundations of the earth:
30 Addaak idi iti abayna, a kasla maysa a mangidaulo iti trabaho, ket siak idi ti ragsakna iti inaldaw, a kanayon a naragsak iti sangoananna.
Then was I near him, as a nursling: and I was day by day [his] delights, playing before him at all times;
31 Nakaragragsakak iti entero a lubongna, ken nakaragragsakak kadagiti tattao.
Playing in the world, his earth; and having my delights with the sons of men.
32 Ket ita, annakko, denggendak, agragsakto dagiti mangar-aramid kadagiti wagasko.
And now, O children [of men], hearken unto me! for happy those that observe my ways.
33 Denggenyo ti sursurok ken agmasiribkayo; saanyo a iyaleng-aleng daytoy.
Hear correction, and be wise, and reject it not.
34 Agragsakto ti dumdumngeg kaniak - nga agbanbantay nga inaldaw kadagiti ruanganko, a mangur-uray kaniak iti abay dagiti ridaw ti pagtaengak.
Happy is the man that hearkeneth unto me, watching day by day at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 Ta ti siasinoman a mangbirok kaniak, masarakanna ti biag, ken masarakanna ti pabor ni Yahweh.
For he who findeth me findeth life, and he obtaineth favor from the Lord.
36 Ngem ti saan a mangbirok kaniak, dangdangranna ti bagina; dagiti amin a manggurgura kaniak ket ay-ayatenda ti patay.”
But he that sinneth against me doth violence to his own soul: all those that hate me love death.
