Panultihon 24
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
‒ 19 ‒
24 Ayaw kasina sa mga daotan o paninguha nga makighigala kanila, 2 kay ang ilang ginahunahuna ug ginapanulti mao ang pagpasakit sa uban.
‒ 20 ‒
3-4 Pinaagi sa kaalam matukod ang usa ka balay, ug mapalig-on kini pinaagi sa maayong panabot; ug ang mga kuwarto niini mapuno sa nindot ug mahalon nga mga kabtangan pinaagi sa kahibalo.[a]
‒ 21 ‒
5 Ang mga tawong maalamon dakog ikatabang panahon sa gira, 6 kay kinahanglan ang ilang mga tambag sa pagpakiggira. Ug mas dako ang tsansa nga modaog kon daghan ang magtatambag.
‒ 22 ‒
7 Dili matugkad sa tawong buang-buang ang kaalam. Wala siyay ikasulti kon maalamong mga butang nay hisgotan.
‒ 23 ‒
8 Ang tawong magplano kanunay ug daotan ilado nga tigpasiugdag daotan. 9 Sala ang bisan unsay ipasiugda sa tawong buang-buang, ug ngil-aran ang mga tawo sa bugalbugalon.
‒ 24 ‒
10 Kon mawad-an kag paglaom sa panahon sa kalisod, timailhan kana nga ikaw huyang.
‒ 25 ‒
11 Ayaw pagduhaduha sa pagluwas sa mga tawo nga dili sad-an nga gihukman nga patyon. 12 Moingon ka nga wala ka mahibalo bahin niini, apan nahibalo ang Dios kon nagsulti ka sa tinuod o wala. Nagabantay siya kanimo ug nakahibalo siya kon unsay anaa sa imong hunahuna. Balosan ka niya sumala sa imong binuhatan.
‒ 26 ‒
13-14 Anak, maingon nga ang dugos tam-is ug makaayo kanimo, ingon usab niana ang kaalam. Kay kon maalamon ka, may maayo kang kaugmaon ug dili mapakyas ang imong mga pangandoy.
‒ 27 ‒
15 Ayaw pag-awat sa tawong daotan nga manglungkab sa pinuy-anan sa tawong matarong. 16 Kay bisan makapito pa mapandol ang tawong matarong, makabangon ra gihapon siya. Apan kon ang daotan ang malaglag, dili na siya makabangon pa.
‒ 28 ‒
17 Ayaw pagmaya kon may daotang mahitabo sa imong kaaway. 18 Makita sa Ginoo ang imong gibuhat, ug dili niya kini magustohan; ug undangan niya ang pagsilot sa imong kaaway.
‒ 29 ‒
19 Ayawg kalagot o kasina sa daotang mga tawo, 20 kay wala silay maayong kaugmaon ug mahisama sila sa suga nga napalong.
‒ 30 ‒
21 Anak, tahora ang Ginoo ug ang hari. Ayaw pakig-uban sa mga tawong nakigbatok kanila, 22 kay wala ka masayod kon unsay kalaglagan nga kalit nga ipadala sa Ginoo o sa hari ngadto kanila.
Dugang pa nga mga Panultihon
23 Ania pay laing mga panultihon gikan sa maalamon nga mga tawo:
Dili maayo nga may pinalabi ka sa imong paghukom. 24 Kon ipalingkawas mo ang nakasala, tunglohon ug kapungtan ka sa mga tawo. 25 Apan kon silotan mo ang nakasala, panalanginan ka ug mouswag ka pa.
26 Ang dili bakak nga tubag nagapadayag sa tinuoray nga panaghigalaay.
27 Andama una ang imong panginabuhian, sama sa uma, sa dili ka pa magtukod ug panimalay.[b]
28 Ayaw pagsaksi batok sa imong isigka-tawo sa walay igong hinungdan, o manugilon ug bakak bahin kaniya. 29 Ayaw pag-ingon, “Balosan ko siya sa iyang gihimo kanako. Himuon ko usab kaniya ang iyang gihimo kanako.”
30 Miagi ako sa uma sa usa ka tawong tapolan ug walay panabot. 31 Puno na kini sa mga sagbot ug sampinit, ug guba na ang koral niini. 32 Gipamalandongan ko pag-ayo kining akong nakita ug nakuha ko kini nga leksyon: 33 Higda-higda, tulog-tulog, ug pagpangiyugpos gamay, tawong tapolan, 34 ug sa kalit lang moabot kanimo ang kawad-on nga daw sama sa armadong tulisan.
Proverbs 24
King James Version
24 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
Proverbs 24
Evangelical Heritage Version
24 Do not envy evil people,
and do not wish to be with them,
2 because their hearts plan violence,
and their lips speak trouble.
3 With wisdom a house is built.
With understanding it is established.
4 With knowledge its rooms are filled with every kind of riches,
both valuable and appealing.
5 A wise person grows strong,
and a knowledgeable man becomes more powerful,
6 because advice prepares you for battle,
and many advisors bring victory.
8 Whoever plans evil will be called a master schemer.
9 A foolish scheme is a sin,
and a mocker is disgusting to people.
10 If you fail to act in the day of trouble,
your strength is too little.
11 Rescue captives condemned to death,
and spare those staggering toward slaughter.
12 If you say, “We did not know about this,”
won’t the one who weighs motives notice?
Won’t the one who guards your life know about it,
and won’t he repay people according to what each one has done?
13 My son, eat honey, because it is good.
Flowing honey is sweet on your palate.
14 Know also that wisdom is sweet for your soul.
If you find it, then there is a future for you,
and your hope will never be cut off.
15 Do not be like the wicked who attack the home of the righteous.
Do not destroy his resting place,
16 because a righteous person may fall seven times, but he will get up,
while wicked people will stumble into misfortune.
17 Do not be happy when your enemy falls.
Do not let your heart celebrate when he stumbles.
18 If you do, the Lord will see it and consider it evil,
and he will turn his anger away from him.
19 Do not fret about evildoers.
Do not be jealous of wicked people,
20 because an evil person has no future.
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21 Fear the Lord, my son, and also the king.
Do not associate with those who are rebellious,
22 because their disaster will take place suddenly.
Who knows what ruin the Lord and the king will cause?
More Words of the Wise
23 These sayings also are by the wise:
To show partiality when administering justice is not good.
24 If anyone says to a guilty person, “You are innocent,”
people will curse him. Nations will denounce him.
25 However, it will be pleasant for those who convict the guilty.
A wonderful blessing will come upon them.
26 Someone who gives a straight answer gives a kiss on the lips.
27 Prepare your work outside,
and get things ready for yourself in the fields.
Afterward, build your house.
28 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause.
Do not practice deception with your lips.
29 Do not think, “I will do to him what he did to me.
I will pay the man back for what he did.”
30 I passed by a lazy man’s field
and by a vineyard that belonged to a senseless man.
31 It was overgrown with thistles
and covered with weeds.
Its stone wall was broken down.
32 When I saw this, I took it to heart.
I observed and learned a lesson:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 and poverty will come on you like a prowler,
and scarcity will come like a warrior.
