1Ang alak ay manunuya, ang matapang na alak ay manggugulo; at sinomang napaliligaw sa kaniya ay hindi pantas. 2Ang kakilabutan ng hari ay parang ungal ng leon: ang namumungkahi sa kaniya sa galit ay nagkakasala laban sa kaniyang sariling buhay. 3Karangalan sa tao ang magingat sa pakikipagkaalit: nguni't bawa't mangmang ay magiging palaaway. 4Ang tamad ay hindi magaararo dahil sa tagginaw; kaya't siya'y magpapalimos sa pagaani, at wala anoman. 5Payo sa puso ng tao ay parang malalim na tubig; nguni't iibigin ng taong naguunawa. 6Maraming tao ay magtatanyag bawa't isa ng kaniyang sariling kagandahang-loob: nguni't sinong makakasumpong sa taong tapat? 7Ang ganap na tao na lumalakad sa kaniyang pagtatapat, mapapalad ang kaniyang mga anak na susunod sa kaniya. 8Ang hari na nauupo sa luklukan ng kahatulan pinananabog ng kaniyang mga mata ang lahat na kasamaan. 9Sinong makapagsasabi, nilinis ko ang aking puso, ako'y dalisay sa aking kasalanan? 10Mga iba't ibang panimbang, at mga iba't ibang takalan, kapuwa mga karumaldumal sa Panginoon. 11Ang bata man ay nagpapakilala sa kaniyang mga gawa, kung ang kaniyang gawa ay magiging malinis, at kung magiging matuwid. 12Ang nakikinig na tainga, at ang nakakakitang mata, kapuwa ginawa ng Panginoon. 13Huwag mong ibigin ang pagtulog, baka ka madukha; idilat mo ang iyong mga mata, at mabubusog ka ng tinapay. 14Walang halaga, walang halaga, sabi ng mamimili: nguni't pagka nakalayo siya, naghahambog nga. 15May ginto, at saganang mga rubi: nguni't ang mga labi ng kaalaman ay mahalagang hiyas. 16Kunin mo ang kaniyang suot na nananagot sa di kilala; at tanggapan mo ng sanla ang nananagot sa mga di kilala. 17Tinapay ng kasinungalingan ay matamis sa tao: nguni't pagkatapos ay mabubusog ang kaniyang bibig ng batong lapok. 18Bawa't panukala ay natatatag sa pamamagitan ng payo: at sa pamamagitan ng pantas na pamamatnubay ay makikipagdigma ka. 19Ang yumayaong mapaghatid-dumapit ay naghahayag ng mga lihim: kaya't huwag kang makisalamuha sa kaniya na nagbubukang maluwang ng kaniyang mga labi. 20Siyang sumusumpa sa kaniyang ama o sa kaniyang ina, ang kaniyang ilawan ay papatayin sa salimuot na kadiliman. 21Ang mana ay matatamong madali sa pasimula; nguni't ang wakas niyao'y hindi pagpapalain. 22Huwag mong sabihin, ako'y gaganti ng kasamaan: maghintay ka sa Panginoon, at kaniyang ililigtas ka. 23Mga iba't ibang panimbang ay karumaldumal sa Panginoon; at ang sinungaling na timbangan ay hindi mabuti. 24Ang mga lakad ng tao ay sa Panginoon; paano ngang mauunawa ng tao ang kaniyang lakad? 25Silo nga sa tao ang magsabi ng walang pakundangan, banal nga, at magsiyasat pagkatapos ng mga panata. 26Ang pantas na hari ay nagpapapanabog ng masama. At dinadala sa kanila ang gulong na panggiik. 27Ang diwa ng tao ay ilawan ng Panginoon, na sumisiyasat ng mga pinakaloob na bahagi ng tiyan. 28Kagandahang-loob at katotohanan ay nagpapalagi sa hari: at ang kaniyang luklukan ay inaalalayan ng kagandahang-loob. 29Ang kaluwalhatian ng mga binata ay ang kanilang kalakasan: at ang kagandahan ng matanda ay ang ulong may uban. 30Ang mga latay na sumasakit ay lumilinis ng kasamaan: at ang mga hampas ay dinaramdam sa mga pinakaloob na bahagi ng tiyan.
1Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise. 2The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life. 3It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be quarreling. 4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing. 5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. 6Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man? 7A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him. 8A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes. 9Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?” 10Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh. 11Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right. 12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them. 13Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread. 14“It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts. 15There is gold and abundance of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel. 16Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman. 17Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel. 18Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war! 19He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips. 20Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness. 21An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning, won’t be blessed in the end. 22Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you. 23Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing. 24A man’s steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way? 25It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows. 26A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them. 27The spirit of man is Yahweh’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts. 28Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love. 29The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair. 30Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.
1De wijn is een spotter, de sterke drank is woelachtig; al wie daarin dwaalt, zal niet wijs zijn. 2De schrik des konings is als het brullen eens jongen leeuws; die zich tegen hem vergramt, zondigt tegen zijn ziel. 3Het is eer voor een man, van twist af te blijven; maar ieder dwaas zal er zich in mengen. 4Om den winter zal de luiaard niet ploegen; daarom zal hij bedelen in den oogst, maar er zal niet zijn. 5De raad in het hart eens mans is als diepe wateren; maar een man van verstand zal dien uithalen. 6Elk van de menigte der mensen roept zijn weldadigheid uit; maar wie zal een recht trouwen man vinden? 7De rechtvaardige wandelt steeds in zijn oprechtheid; welgelukzalig zijn zijn kinderen na hem. 8Een koning, zittende op den troon des gerichts, verstrooit alle kwaad met zijn ogen. 9Wie kan zeggen: Ik heb mijn hart gezuiverd, ik ben rein van mijn zonde? 10Tweeerlei weegsteen, tweeerlei efa is den HEERE een gruwel, ja die beide. 11Een jongen zal ook door zijn handelingen zich bekend maken, of zijn werk zuiver, en of het recht zal wezen. 12Een horend oor, en een ziend oog heeft de HEERE gemaakt, ja, die beide. 13Heb den slaap niet lief, opdat gij niet arm wordt; open uw ogen, verzadig u met brood. 14Het is kwaad, het is kwaad! zal de koper zeggen; maar als hij weggegaan is, dan zal hij zich beroemen. 15Goud is er, en menigte van robijnen; maar de lippen de wetenschap zijn een kostelijk kleinood. 16Als iemand voor een vreemde borg geworden is, neem zijn kleed; en pand hem voor de onbekenden. 17Het brood der leugen is den mens zoet; maar daarna zal zijn mond vol van zandsteentjes worden. 18Elke gedachte wordt door raad bevestigd, daarom voer oorlog met wijze raadslagen. 19Die als een achterklapper wandelt, openbaart het heimelijke; vermeng u dan niet met hem, die met zijn lippen verlokt. 20Wie zijn vader of zijn moeder vloekt, diens lamp zal uitgeblust worden in zwarte duisternis. 21Als een erfenis in het eerste verhaast wordt, zo zal haar laatste niet gezegend worden. 22Zeg niet: Ik zal het kwaad vergelden; wacht op den HEERE, en Hij zal u verlossen. 23Tweeerlei weegsteen is den HEERE een gruwel, en de bedriegelijke weegschaal is niet goed. 24De treden des mans zijn van den HEERE; hoe zou dan een mens zijn weg verstaan? 25Het is een strik des mensen, dat hij het heilige verslindt, en na gedane geloften, onderzoek te doen. 26Een wijs koning verstrooit de goddelozen, en hij brengt het rad over hen. 27De ziel des mensen is een lamp des HEEREN, doorzoekende al de binnenkameren des buiks. 28Weldadigheid en waarheid bewaren den koning; en door weldadigheid ondersteunt hij zijn troon. 29Der jongelingen sieraad is hun kracht, en der ouden heerlijkheid is de grijsheid. 30Gezwellen der wonde zijn in den boze een zuivering, mitsgaders de slagen van het binnenste des buiks.
