10 Ang isang boteng pabango ay mapababaho ng isang patay na langaw. Ang bahagyang kamangmangan ay nakakasira sa karunungan at karangalan.
2 Ang matalino'y inaakay ng kanyang isipan tungo sa kabutihan. Ngunit ang mangmang ay hinihila ng kanyang damdamin tungo sa kasamaan. 3 Maging sa paglalakad ng mangmang ay nahahalata ang kanyang kahangalan. Nakikilala ng lahat na siya ay mangmang.
4 Kung ang pinuno mo'y magalit sa iyo, huwag kang magbibitiw sa iyong tungkulin, sapagkat maging ang malaking pagkakamali ay mapapatawad kung ikaw ay magiging mahinahon.
5 Ito pa ang isang di-makatuwirang nangyayari sa buong mundo, na may kinalaman sa pamumuno: 6 Ang mga mangmang ay inilalagay sa matataas na tungkulin ngunit ang mayaman ay sa mababang uri ng gawain. 7 Nakakita ako ng mga aliping nakasakay sa kabayo samantalang ang mga pinuno ay naglalakad.
8 Ang(A) nag-uumang ng bitag ay siya ring mahuhuli roon; ang lumulusot sa mga pader ay matutuklaw ng ahas. 9 Ang nagtitibag ng bato ay malamang na mabagsakan nito. Ang nagpuputol ng troso ay nanganganib na madaganan niyon. 10 Ang palakol ay pumupurol kapag hindi hinahasa. Ang mahusay na plano ay nakakatulong nang malaki sa pagtatagumpay. 11 Walang kabuluhan ang kapangyarihan ng nagpapaamo ng ahas kung hindi gagamitin sa pagsaway nito. 12 Ang mga salita ng matalino ay nag-aani ng karangalan, ngunit napapahamak ang mangmang dahil sa kanyang mga salita. 13 Ang pangungusap ng mangmang ay nag-uumpisa sa kamangmangan, hanggang matapos, ito pa ri'y kamangmangan. 14 Ang mangmang ay walang tigil sa pagyayabang. Ngunit sinong makakapagsabi ng susunod na pangyayari at ng magaganap kapag siya ay patay na?
15 Ang pagpapagod ng mangmang ang nagpapahina sa kanya, at hindi man lamang niya alam ang daan papunta sa bayan niya.
16 Kawawa ang lupain na ang hari'y isip bata, at ang mga pinuno'y mahilig sa handaan. 17 Ngunit mapalad ang lupain na may haring matino at may mga pinunong nakakaalam kung kailan dapat magdiwang.
18 Kung pabaya ang may-ari, ang bubong ay masisira; kung siya ay tamad, mawawasak ang buong bahay.
19 Ang pagkain ay nagdudulot ng kasiyahan, at nagpapasaya sa buhay ang inumin. Ito'y mabibiling lahat ng salapi.
20 Ni sa isip ay huwag susumpain ang inyong hari, ni sa pag-iisa'y huwag hamakin ang mayayaman pagkat may pakpak ang balita at may tainga ang lupa.
Ecclesiastes 10
English Standard Version
Ecclesiastes 10
English Standard Version
10 Dead flies make (A)the perfumer's ointment give off a stench;
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
2 (B)A wise man's heart inclines him to the right,
but a fool's heart to the left.
3 Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense,
and he (C)says to everyone that he is a fool.
4 If the anger of the ruler rises against you, (D)do not leave your place,
(E)for calmness[a] will lay great offenses to rest.
5 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were (F)an error proceeding from the ruler: 6 (G)folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place. 7 (H)I have seen slaves (I)on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.
8 He who (J)digs a pit will fall into it,
and (K)a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.
9 (L)He who quarries stones is hurt by them,
and he who (M)splits logs is endangered by them.
10 If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge,
he must use more strength,
but wisdom helps one to succeed.[b]
11 If the serpent bites before it is (N)charmed,
there is no advantage to the charmer.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth (O)win him favor,[c]
but (P)the lips of a fool consume him.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,
and the end of his talk is evil madness.
14 (Q)A fool multiplies words,
though no man knows what is to be,
and who can tell him (R)what will be after him?
15 The toil of a fool wearies him,
for he does not know (S)the way to the city.
16 (T)Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
and your princes feast in the morning!
17 Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of the nobility,
and your princes feast at the proper time,
for strength, and not for (U)drunkenness!
18 Through sloth the roof sinks in,
and through indolence the house leaks.
19 Bread is made for laughter,
and (V)wine gladdens life,
and (W)money answers everything.
20 Even in your thoughts, (X)do not curse the king,
nor in your (Y)bedroom curse the rich,
for a bird of the air will carry your voice,
or some winged creature tell the matter.

Ecclesiastes 10
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 10
New International Version
10 As dead flies give perfume a bad smell,
so a little folly(A) outweighs wisdom and honor.
2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of the fool to the left.
3 Even as fools walk along the road,
they lack sense
and show everyone(B) how stupid they are.
4 If a ruler’s anger rises against you,
do not leave your post;(C)
calmness can lay great offenses to rest.(D)
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun,
the sort of error that arises from a ruler:
6 Fools are put in many high positions,(E)
while the rich occupy the low ones.
7 I have seen slaves on horseback,
while princes go on foot like slaves.(F)
8 Whoever digs a pit may fall into it;(G)
whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.(H)
9 Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them;
whoever splits logs may be endangered by them.(I)
10 If the ax is dull
and its edge unsharpened,
more strength is needed,
but skill will bring success.
11 If a snake bites before it is charmed,
the charmer receives no fee.(J)
12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,(K)
but fools are consumed by their own lips.(L)
13 At the beginning their words are folly;
at the end they are wicked madness—
14 and fools multiply words.(M)
No one knows what is coming—
who can tell someone else what will happen after them?(N)
15 The toil of fools wearies them;
they do not know the way to town.
16 Woe to the land whose king was a servant[a](O)
and whose princes feast in the morning.
17 Blessed is the land whose king is of noble birth
and whose princes eat at a proper time—
for strength and not for drunkenness.(P)
18 Through laziness, the rafters sag;
because of idle hands, the house leaks.(Q)
19 A feast is made for laughter,
wine(R) makes life merry,
and money is the answer for everything.
20 Do not revile the king(S) even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich in your bedroom,
because a bird in the sky may carry your words,
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
