1Mga kawikaan ni Salomon. Ang pantas na anak ay nakapagpapasaya sa ama: nguni't ang mangmang na anak ay pasan ng kaniyang ina. 2Mga kayamanan ng kasamaan ay hindi napapakinabangan: nguni't ang katuwiran ay nagliligtas sa kamatayan. 3Hindi titiisin ng Panginoon na magutom ang kaluluwa ng matuwid: nguni't kaniyang itinatakuwil ang nasa ng masama. 4Siya'y nagiging dukha na gumagawa ng kamay na walang kasipagan: nguni't yumayaman ang kamay ng masipag. 5Siyang nagtitipon sa taginit ay pantas na anak: nguni't siyang natutulog sa pagaani ay anak na kahiyahiya. 6Mga pagpapala ay nangasa ulo ng matuwid: nguni't tinatakpan ng karahasan ang bibig ng masama. 7Ang alaala sa ganap ay pinagpapala: nguni't ang pangalan ng masama ay mapaparam. 8Ang pantas sa puso ay tatanggap ng mga utos: nguni't ang madaldal na musmos ay mabubuwal. 9Siyang lumalakad ng matuwid ay lumalakad na tiwasay: nguni't siyang sumisira ng kaniyang mga lakad ay makikilala. 10Siyang kumikindat ng mata ay nagpapapanglaw: nguni't ang madaldal na musmos ay mabubuwal. 11Ang bibig ng matuwid, ay bukal ng kabuhayan: nguni't tinatakpan ng karahasan ang bibig ng masama. 12Ang pagtatanim ay humihila ng mga kaalitan: nguni't tinatakpan ng pagibig ang lahat ng pagsalangsang. 13Nasusumpungan sa mga labi ng mabait ang karunungan: nguni't ang pamalo ay sa likod ng walang unawa. 14Ang mga pantas ay nagiimbak ng kaalaman: nguni't ang bibig ng mangmang ay kasalukuyang ikapapahamak. 15Ang kayamanan ng mayaman ay ang kaniyang matibay na bayan: ang kapahamakan ng dukha ay ang kanilang karalitaan. 16Ang gawa ng matuwid ay patungo sa buhay; ang bunga ng dukha ay sa pagkakasala. 17Nasa daan ng buhay siyang nakikinig ng saway: nguni't siyang nagpapabaya ng saway ay nagkakamali. 18Siyang nagkukubli ng mga pagtatanim ay sa mga magdarayang labi; at siyang nagpaparatang ay mangmang. 19Sa karamihan ng mga salita ay hindi nagkukulang ng pagsalangsang: nguni't siyang nagpipigil ng kaniyang mga labi ay gumagawang may kapantasan. 20Ang dila ng matuwid ay parang piling pilak: ang puso ng masama ay kaunti ang halaga. 21Ang mga labi ng matuwid ay nagpapakain ng marami: nguni't ang mangmang ay namamatay sa kakulangan ng pagunawa. 22Ang pagpapala ng Panginoon, ay nagpapayaman, at hindi niya idinadagdag ang kapanglawan. 23Isang paglilibang sa mangmang ang paggawa ng kasamaan: at gayon ang karunungan sa taong naguunawa. 24Ang takot ng masama ay darating sa kaniya: at ang nasa ng matuwid ay ipagkakaloob. 25Pagka ang ipoipo ay dumadaan ay nawawala ang masama: nguni't ang matuwid ay walang hanggang patibayan. 26Kung paano ang suka sa mga ngipin, at kung paano ang usok sa mata, gayon ang tamad sa mga nagsusugo sa kaniya. 27Ang pagkatakot sa Panginoon ay nagpapalaon ng mga kaarawan: nguni't ang mga taon ng masama ay mangangaunti. 28Ang pagasa ng matuwid ay magiging kasayahan: nguni't ang pagasa ng masama ay mawawala. 29Ang daan ng Panginoon ay katibayan sa matuwid; nguni't kapahamakan sa mga manggagawa ng kasamaan. 30Ang matuwid ay hindi makikilos kailan man: nguni't ang masama ay hindi tatahan sa lupain. 31Ang bibig ng matuwid ay nagbibigay ng karunungan: nguni't ang magdarayang dila ay ihihiwalay. 32Nalalaman ng mga labi ng matuwid ang nakalulugod: nguni't ang bibig ng masama ay nagsasalita ng karayaan.
1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. 2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. 3Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked. 4He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth. 5He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame. 6Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 7The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. 8The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall. 9He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. 10One winking with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall. 11The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 12Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs. 13Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding. 14Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. 15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty. 16The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin. 17He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. 18He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool. 19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely. 20The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth. 21The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding. 22Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. 23It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure. 24What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. 25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever. 26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him. 27The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 28The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish. 29The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 30The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land. 31The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off. 32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
1De spreuken van Salomo. Een wijs zoon verblijdt den vader; maar een zot zoon is zijner moeder droefheid. 2Schatten der goddeloosheid doen geen nut; maar de gerechtigheid redt van den dood. 3De HEERE laat de ziel des rechtvaardigen niet hongeren; maar de have der goddelozen stoot Hij weg. 4Die met een bedriegelijke hand werkt, wordt arm; maar de hand der vlijtigen maakt rijk. 5Die in den zomer vergadert, is een verstandig zoon; maar die in den oogst vast slaapt, is een zoon die beschaamd maakt. 6Zegeningen zijn op het hoofd des rechtvaardigen; maar het geweld bedekt den mond der goddelozen. 7De gedachtenis des rechtvaardigen zal tot zegening zijn; maar de naam der goddelozen zal verrotten. 8Die wijs van hart is, neemt de geboden aan; maar die dwaas is van lippen, zal omgeworpen worden. 9Die in oprechtheid wandelt, wandelt zeker; maar die zijn wegen verkeert, zal bekend worden. 10Die met het oog wenkt, richt smart aan; en een dwaas van lippen zal omgeworpen worden. 11De mond des rechtvaardigen is een springader des levens; maar het geweld bedekt den mond der goddelozen. 12Haat verwekt krakelen; maar de liefde dekt alle overtredingen toe. 13In de lippen des verstandigen wordt wijsheid gevonden; maar op den rug des verstandelozen de roede. 14De wijzen leggen wetenschap weg; maar den mond des dwazen is de verstoring nabij. 15Des rijken goed is een stad zijner sterkte; de armoede der geringen is hun verstoring. 16Het werk des rechtvaardigen is ten leven; de inkomst des goddelozen is ter zonde. 17Het pad tot het leven is desgenen die de tucht bewaart; maar die de bestraffing verlaat, doet dwalen. 18Die den haat bedekt, is van valse lippen, en die een kwaad gerucht voortbrengt, is een zot. 19In de veelheid der woorden ontbreekt de overtreding niet; maar die zijn lippen wederhoudt, is kloek verstandig. 20De tong des rechtvaardigen is uitgelezen zilver; het hart der goddelozen is weinig waard. 21De lippen des rechtvaardigen voeden er velen; maar de dwazen sterven door gebrek van verstand. 22De zegen des HEEREN, die maakt rijk; en Hij voegt er geen smart bij. 23Het is voor den zot als spel, schandelijkheid te doen; maar voor een man van verstand, wijsheid te plegen. 24De vreze des goddelozen, die zal hem overkomen; maar de begeerte der rechtvaardigen zal God geven. 25Gelijk een wervelwind voorbijgaat, alzo is de goddeloze niet meer; maar de rechtvaardige is een eeuwige grondvest. 26Gelijk edik den tanden, en gelijk rook den ogen is zo is de luie dengenen, die hem uitzenden. 27De vreze des HEEREN vermeerdert de dagen; maar de jaren der goddelozen worden verkort. 28De hoop der rechtvaardigen is blijdschap; maar de verwachting der goddelozen zal vergaan. 29De weg des HEEREN is voor den oprechte sterkte; maar voor de werkers der ongerechtigheid verstoring. 30De rechtvaardige zal in eeuwigheid niet bewogen worden; maar de goddelozen zullen de aarde niet bewonen. 31De mond des rechtvaardigen brengt overvloediglijk wijsheid voort; maar de tong der verkeerdheden zal uitgeroeid worden. 32De lippen des rechtvaardigen weten wat welgevallig is; maar de mond der goddelozen enkel verkeerdheid.
