Proverbs 20
New International Version
Proverbs 20
New International Version
2 A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion;(E)
those who anger him forfeit their lives.(F)
5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,(K)
but one who has insight draws them out.
6 Many claim to have unfailing love,
but a faithful person who can find?(L)
10 Differing weights and differing measures—
the Lord detests them both.(S)
11 Even small children are known by their actions,
so is their conduct really pure(T) and upright?
12 Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the Lord has made them both.(U)
13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;(V)
stay awake and you will have food to spare.
14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—
then goes off and boasts about the purchase.
15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
16 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge(W) if it is done for an outsider.(X)
18 Plans are established by seeking advice;
so if you wage war, obtain guidance.(AA)
19 A gossip betrays a confidence;(AB)
so avoid anyone who talks too much.
20 If someone curses their father or mother,(AC)
their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.(AD)
21 An inheritance claimed too soon
will not be blessed at the end.
22 Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!”(AE)
Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.(AF)
23 The Lord detests differing weights,
and dishonest scales do not please him.(AG)
24 A person’s steps are directed(AH) by the Lord.(AI)
How then can anyone understand their own way?(AJ)
25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.(AK)
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked;
he drives the threshing wheel over them.(AL)
29 The glory of young men is their strength,
gray hair the splendor of the old.(AQ)

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Kawikaan 20
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
20 Ang sobrang pag-inom ng alak ay nagbubunga ng panunuya at kaguluhan, kaya ang taong naglalasing ay salat sa karunungan.
2 Ang poot ng hari ay parang atungal ng leon. Kapag ginalit mo siya, papatayin ka niya.
3 Ang pag-iwas sa gulo ay tanda ng karangalan; hangal lang ang may gusto ng kaguluhan.
4 Ang taong tamad mag-araro sa panahon ng pagtatanim ay walang makukuha pagdating ng anihan.
5 Ang isipan ng tao ay tulad ng malalim na balon, ngunit mauunawaan ito ng taong marunong.
6 Marami ang nagsasabi na sila ay tapat, ngunit mayroon kaya sa kanila ang mapagkakatiwalaan?
7 Ang taong matuwid ay walang kapintasan. Mapalad ang mga anak niya kung siya ang kanilang tinutularan.
8 Kapag ang hari ay humahatol, tinitiyak muna niya kung sino ang gumawa ng masama.
9 Walang sinumang makapagsasabi na ang puso niya ay malinis, na kailanman ay hindi siya nakagawa ng mali.
10 Ang madadayang timbangan at sukatan ay kasuklam-suklam sa paningin ng Dios.
11 Ang mga ginagawa ng isang kabataan ay nagpapakita ng kanyang tunay na pag-uugali, kung siya ba ay matuwid o hindi.
12 Ang taingang nakakarinig at matang nakakakita ay ang Panginoon ang siyang gumawa.
13 Kung tulog ka nang tulog maghihirap ka, ngunit kung magsisikap ka, ang iyong pagkain ay sasagana.
14 Pinipintasan ng mamimili ang kanyang binibili upang makatawad siya. Pero kung nabili na, hindi na niya ito pinipintasan, sa halip ay ipinagyayabang pa.
15 Marami ang ginto at mamahaling bato, ngunit iilan lamang ang nakapagsasalita nang may karunungan.
16 Kung may taong nangako na babayaran niya sa iyo ang utang ng taong hindi niya kilala, tiyakin mong makakakuha ka sa kanya ng garantiya, para makatiyak ka na babayaran ka niya.
17 Pagkaing nakuha sa pandaraya sa una ay matamis ang lasa, ngunit sa huli ay lasang buhangin na.
18 Humingi ka ng payo sa iyong pagpaplano o bago makipaglaban sa digmaan.
19 Ang taong masalita nagbubunyag ng sikreto, kaya iwasan mo ang ganyang uri ng tao.
20 Mamamatay ang sinumang sumumpa sa kanyang magulang, para siyang ilaw na namatay sa gitna ng kadiliman.
21 Ang mana na kinuha ng maaga sa bandang huliʼy hindi magiging pagpapala.
22 Huwag kang maghiganti. Magtiwala ka sa Panginoon, at tutulungan ka niya.
23 Nasusuklam ang Panginoon sa mga nandadaya sa timbangan. Hindi ito mabuting gawain.
24 Ang Panginoon ang nagkaloob nitong ating buhay, kaya hindi natin alam ang ating magiging kapalaran.
25 Bago mangako sa Dios ay isiping mabuti, baka magsisi ka sa bandang huli.
26 Sa paghatol, tinitiyak ng matalinong hari na malaman kung sino ang gumagawa ng kasamaan at saka niya parurusahan.
27 Ibinigay sa atin ng Panginoon ang ating budhi[a] at isipan upang makita ang ating kaloob-looban.
28 Ang haring mabuti at tapat ay hindi mapapahamak, at magtatagal siya sa kanyang luklukan.
29 Karangalan ng kabataan ang kanilang kalakasan, at karangalan naman ng matatanda ang kanilang katandaan.[b]
30 Kung minsan ang parusa ay nagdudulot ng mabuti para magbago tayo.
Proverbs 20
King James Version
Proverbs 20
King James Version
20 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.
11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.
24 Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?
25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
