1Dinidinig ng pantas na anak ang turo ng kaniyang ama: nguni't hindi dinidinig ng mangduduwahagi ang saway. 2Ang tao ay kakain ng mabuti ayon sa bunga ng kaniyang bibig: nguni't ang magdaraya ay kakain ng karahasan, 3Siyang nagiingat ng kaniyang bibig, nagiingat ng kaniyang buhay: nguni't siyang nagbubukang maluwang ng kaniyang mga labi ay magkakaroon ng kapahamakan. 4Ang tamad ay nagnanasa, at walang anoman: nguni't ang kaluluwa ng masipag ay tataba. 5Ang matuwid ay nagtatanim sa pagsisinungaling: nguni't ang masama ay kasuklamsuklam, at napapahiya. 6Bumabantay ang katuwiran sa matuwid na lakad; nguni't inilulugmok ng kasamaan ang makasalanan. 7May nagpapakayaman, gayon ma'y walang anoman: may nagpapakadukha, gayon ma'y may malaking kayamanan. 8Ang katubusan sa buhay ng tao ay siyang kaniyang mga kayamanan: nguni't ang dukha ay hindi nakikinig sa banta. 9Ang ilaw ng matuwid ay nagagalak: nguni't ang ilawan ng masama ay papatayin. 10Sa kapalaluan, ang dumarating ay pagtatalo lamang: nguni't ang karunungan ay nangasa nangaturuang maigi. 11Ang kayamanang tinangkilik sa walang kabuluhan ay huhupa: nguni't siyang nagpipisan sa paggawa ay mararagdagan. 12Ang pagasa na nagluluwat ay nagpapasakit ng puso: nguni't pagka ang nasa ay dumarating ay punong kahoy ng buhay. 13Sinomang humamak sa salita ay nagdadala ng kapahamakan sa sarili: nguni't siyang natatakot sa utos ay gagantihin. 14Ang kautusan ng pantas ay bukal ng buhay, upang lumayo sa mga silo ng kamatayan. 15Ang mabuting kaunawaan ay nagbibigay lingap: nguni't ang lakad ng mananalangsang ay mahirap. 16Bawa't mabait na tao ay gumagawang may kaalaman: nguni't ang mangmang ay nagkakalat ng kamangmangan. 17Ang masamang sugo ay nahuhulog sa kasamaan: nguni't ang tapat na sugo ay kagalingan. 18Karalitaan at kahihiyan ang tatamuhin ng nagtatakuwil ng saway: nguni't siyang nakikinig ng saway ay magkakapuri. 19Ang nasa na natupad ay matamis sa kaluluwa: nguni't kasuklamsuklam sa mga mangmang na humiwalay sa kasamaan. 20Lumalakad ka na kasama ng mga pantas na tao, at ikaw ay magiging pantas; nguni't ang kasama ng mga mangmang ay mapapariwara. 21Ang kasamaan ay humahabol sa mga makasalanan; nguni't ang matuwid ay gagantihan ng mabuti. 22Ang mabuti ay nagiiwan ng mana sa mga anak ng kaniyang mga anak; at ang kayamanan ng makasalanan ay nalalagay na ukol sa matuwid. 23Maraming pagkain ang nasa pagsasaka ng dukha: nguni't may napapahamak dahil sa kawalan ng kaganapan. 24Siyang naguurong ng kaniyang pamalo ay napopoot sa kaniyang anak: nguni't siyang umiibig ay nagpaparusang maminsan-minsan. 25Ang matuwid ay kumakain hanggang sa kabusugan ng kaniyang kaluluwa; nguni't ang tiyan ng masama ay mangangailangan.
1A wise son listens to his father’s instruction, but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke. 2By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things; but the unfaithful crave violence. 3He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. 4The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied. 5A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace. 6Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth. 8The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats. 9The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. 10Pride only breeds quarrels, but with ones who take advice is wisdom. 11Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow. 12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. 13Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded. 14The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death. 15Good understanding wins favor; but the way of the unfaithful is hard. 16Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly. 17A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing. 18Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored. 19Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil. 20One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. 21Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous. 22A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous. 23An abundance of food is in poor people’s fields, but injustice sweeps it away. 24One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him. 25The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
1Een wijs zoon hoort de tucht des vaders; maar een spotter hoort de bestraffing niet. 2Een ieder zal van de vrucht des monds het goede eten; maar de ziel der trouwelozen het geweld. 3Die zijn mond bewaart, behoudt zijn ziel; maar voor hem is verstoring, die zijn lippen wijd opendoet. 4De ziel des luiaards is begerig, doch er is niets; maar de ziel der vlijtigen zal vet gemaakt worden. 5De rechtvaardige haat leugentaal; maar de goddeloze maakt zich stinkende, en doet zich schaamte aan. 6De gerechtigheid bewaart den oprechte van weg; maar de goddeloosheid zal den zondaar omkeren. 7Er is een, die zichzelven rijk maakt, en niet met al heeft, en een, die zichzelven arm maakt, en heeft veel goed. 8Het rantsoen van ieders ziel is zijn rijkdom; maar de arme hoort het schelden niet. 9Het licht der rechtvaardigen zal zich verblijden; maar de lamp der goddelozen zal uitgeblust worden. 10Door hovaardigheid maakt men niet dan gekijf; maar bij de beradenen is wijsheid. 11Goed, van ijdelheid gekomen, zal verminderd worden; maar die met de hand vergadert, zal het vermeerderen. 12De uitgestelde hoop krenkt het hart; maar de begeerte, die komt, is een boom des levens. 13Die het woord veracht, die zal verdorven worden; maar wie het gebod vreest, dien zal vergolden worden. 14Des wijzen leer is een springader des levens, om af te wijken van de strikken des doods. 15Goed verstand geeft aangenaamheid; maar de weg der trouwelozen is streng. 16Al wie kloekzinnig is, handelt met wetenschap; maar een zot breidt dwaasheid uit. 17Een goddeloze bode zal in het kwaad vallen; maar een trouw gezant is medicijn. 18Armoede en schande is desgenen, die de tucht verwerpt; maar die de bestraffing waarneemt; zal geeerd worden. 19De begeerte, die geschiedt, is zoet voor de ziel; maar het is den zotten een gruwel van het kwade af te wijken. 20Die met de wijzen omgaat, zal wijs worden; maar die der zotten metgezel is, zal verbroken worden. 21Het kwaad zal de zondaars vervolgen; maar den rechtvaardige zal men goed vergelden. 22De goede zal zijner kinders kinderen doen erven; maar het vermogen des zondaars is voor de rechtvaardige weggelegd. 23Het ploegen der armen geeft veelheid der spijze; maar daar is een, die verteerd wordt door gebrek van oordeel. 24Die zijn roede inhoudt, haat zijn zoon; maar die hem liefheeft, zoekt hem vroeg met tuchtiging. 25De rechtvaardige eet tot verzadiging zijner ziel toe; maar de buik der goddelozen zal gebrek hebben.
