Propósito de este libro
1 Éstos son los proverbios de Salomón, hijo de David, rey de Israel.
2-4 Estos proverbios tienen como propósito
que ustedes los jóvenes
lleguen a ser sabios,
corrijan su conducta
y entiendan palabras
bien dichas y bien pensadas.
También sirven para enseñar
a los que no tienen experiencia,
a fin de que sean cuidadosos,
honrados y justos en todo;
que muestren astucia y conocimiento,
y piensen bien lo que hacen.
5 Ustedes, los sabios e inteligentes,
escuchen lo que voy a decirles.
Así se harán más sabios
y ganarán experiencia.
6 Así podrán entender
lo que es un proverbio
lo que es un ejemplo,
y lo que es una adivinanza.
7 Todo el que quiera ser sabio
debe empezar por obedecer a Dios.
Pero la gente ignorante
no quiere ser corregida
ni llegar a ser sabia.
Consejos contra los falsos amigos
8 Querido jovencito:
Atiende a tu padre
cuando te llame la atención,
y muestra respeto
cuando tu madre te enseñe.
9 Sus enseñanzas te adornarán
como una corona en la cabeza,
como un collar en el cuello.
10 Querido jovencito,
si los malvados quieren
que te portes mal,
no te dejes llevar por ellos.
11-12 Tal vez te digan:
«Ven con nosotros,
ataquemos al primero que pase
y quitémosle lo que traiga.
Si se muere, que se muera,
y que se lo coman los gusanos.
¡Matemos por el gusto de matar!
13 Con lo que robemos,
llenaremos nuestras casas
y nos haremos ricos.
14 ¡Júntate con nosotros,
y juntos nos repartiremos
todo lo que ganemos!»
15 ¡Pero no lo hagas, jovencito!
¡No sigas su mal ejemplo!
¡No dejes que te engañen!
16 ¡Tal parece que tienen prisa
de hacer lo malo y de matar gente!
17 Ningún pájaro cae en la trampa
si ve a quien lo quiere atrapar.
18 Pero estos malvados
juegan con su vida
y acabarán por perderla.
19 Acabarán muy mal
los que quieren hacerse ricos
sin importarles cómo lograrlo:
¡acabarán perdiendo la vida!
La sabiduría llama a los jóvenes
20 La sabiduría se deja oír
por calles y avenidas.
21 Por las esquinas más transitadas
y en los lugares más concurridos
se le oye decir con insistencia:
22 «Ustedes, jovencitos sin experiencia,[a]
enamorados de su propia ignorancia;
y ustedes, jovencitos malcriados,
que parecen muy contentos
con su mala educación,
¿seguirán siendo siempre así?
Y ustedes, los ignorantes,
¿seguirán odiando el conocimiento?
23 ¡Háganme caso cuando los instruya!
Así compartiré con ustedes
mis enseñanzas y pensamientos.
24 Yo los llamo,
pero ustedes no me responden;
les hago señas,
pero ustedes no me hacen caso.
25 Rechazan todos mis consejos,
y desobedecen mis regaños.
26-27 ¡Pues yo también me burlaré
cuando estén llenos de miedo,
y se queden en la ruina!
Será como si los arrastrara el viento
o les cayera una tormenta.
28 Me llamarán, y no les responderé;
me buscarán, y no me encontrarán.
29 Ustedes no quieren aprender
ni obedecer a Dios;
30 no siguen mis consejos,
ni aceptan mis enseñanzas.
31 Por eso recibirán su merecido:
¡tendrán problemas de sobra!
32 ¡Sufrirán las consecuencias
de sus malas decisiones
y de su mala conducta!
¡Acabarán siendo destruidos
por su necedad
y por su poca atención!
33 Pero los que me hagan caso
vivirán tranquilos y en paz,
y no tendrán miedo del mal».

Proverbs 1

Proverbs 1
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:(A)
Prologue
2 For learning about wisdom and instruction,
for understanding words of insight,
3 for gaining instruction in wise dealing,
righteousness, justice, and equity;(B)
4 to teach shrewdness to the simple,
knowledge and prudence to the young—(C)
5 let the wise, too, hear and gain in learning
and the discerning acquire skill,(D)
6 to understand a proverb and a figure,
the words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.(E)
Warnings against Evil Companions
8 Hear, my child, your father’s instruction,
and do not reject your mother’s teaching,(F)
9 for they are a fair garland for your head
and pendants for your neck.(G)
10 My child, if sinners entice you,
do not consent.(H)
11 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;
let us wantonly ambush the innocent;(I)
12 like Sheol let us swallow them alive
and whole, like those who go down to the Pit.(J)
13 We shall find all kinds of costly things;
we shall fill our houses with spoil.
14 Throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 my child, do not walk in their way;
keep your foot from their paths,(K)
16 for their feet run to evil,
and they hurry to shed blood.(L)
17 For in vain is the net baited
while the bird is looking on;
18 yet they lie in wait—to kill themselves!
and set an ambush—for their own lives!
19 Such is the end[a] of all who are greedy for gain;
it takes away the life of its possessors.(M)
The Call of Wisdom
20 Wisdom cries out in the street;
in the squares she raises her voice.(N)
21 At the busiest corner she cries out;
at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22 “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools hate knowledge?(O)
23 Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to you;
I will make my words known to you.(P)
24 Because I have called and you refused,
have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,(Q)
25 and because you have ignored all my counsel
and would have none of my reproof,(R)
26 I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when panic strikes you,(S)
27 when panic strikes you like a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.(T)
29 Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 would have none of my counsel
and despised all my reproof,(U)
31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way
and be sated with their own devices.(V)
32 For waywardness kills the simple,
and the complacency of fools destroys them;(W)
33 but those who listen to me will be secure
and will live at ease without dread of disaster.”(X)

Prologue: Exhortations to Embrace Wisdom
Warning Against the Invitation of Sinful Men
8 Listen, my son,(M) to your father’s(N) instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.(O)
9 They are a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.(P)
10 My son, if sinful men entice(Q) you,
do not give in(R) to them.(S)
11 If they say, “Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait(T) for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12 let’s swallow(U) them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;(V)
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot(W)”—
15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot(X) on their paths;(Y)
16 for their feet rush into evil,(Z)
they are swift to shed blood.(AA)
17 How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait(AB) for their own blood;
they ambush only themselves!(AC)
19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
it takes away the life of those who get it.(AD)
Wisdom’s Rebuke
20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,(AE)
she raises her voice in the public square;
21 on top of the wall[d] she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech:
22 “How long will you who are simple(AF) love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate(AG) knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.
24 But since you refuse(AH) to listen when I call(AI)
and no one pays attention(AJ) when I stretch out my hand,
25 since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh(AK) when disaster(AL) strikes you;
I will mock(AM) when calamity overtakes you(AN)—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster(AO) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;(AP)
they will look for me but will not find me,(AQ)
29 since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the Lord.(AR)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,(AS)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.(AT)
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;(AU)
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety(AV)
and be at ease, without fear of harm.”(AW)

Kawikaan 1
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Kawikaan 1
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kahalagahan ng Kawikaan
1 Ito ang mga kawikaan ni Solomon na anak ni David, hari ng Israel.
2 Sa pamamagitan ng mga kawikaang ito, magkakaroon ka ng karunungan, maitutuwid mo ang iyong ugali at mauunawaan mo ang mga aral na magbibigay sa iyo ng karunungan. 3 Sa pamamagitan din nitoʼy magiging disiplinado ka, dahil itinuturo nito ang matuwid na paraan ng pamumuhay, mabuting pag-uugali, paggawa ng tama, at pagiging makatarungan. 4 Makapagbibigay ito ng karunungan sa mga walang kaalaman at sa kabataaʼy magtuturo ng tamang pagpapasya. 5 Sa pakikinig nito, ang marunong ay lalong magiging marunong at ang may pinag-aralan ay magiging dalubhasa, 6 upang maunawaan nila ang kahulugan ng mga kawikaan, mga talinghaga, at mga bugtong ng marurunong.
7 Ang pagkatakot sa Panginoon na may paggalang ang simula ng karunungan. Ngunit sa hangal,[a] walang halaga ang karunungan at ayaw niyang maturuan upang maituwid ang kanyang pag-uugali.
Payo sa Pag-iwas sa Masamang Tao
8 Anak, dinggin mo ang turo at pagtutuwid sa iyong pag-uugali ng iyong mga magulang, 9 dahil itoʼy makapagbibigay sa iyo ng karangalan katulad ng koronang gawa sa bulaklak at makapagpapaganda katulad ng kwintas.
10 Anak, huwag kang padadala sa panghihikayat ng mga taong makasalanan. 11 Huwag kang sasama kapag sinabi nilang, “Halika, sumama ka sa amin! Mag-abang tayo ng sinumang papatayin kahit walang dahilan. 12 Kahit nasa kasibulan pa ng kanilang buhay, patayin natin sila para matulad sila sa mga taong pumunta sa lugar ng mga patay. 13 Makakakuha tayo sa kanila ng mga mamahaling ari-arian, at pupunuin natin ang ating mga bahay ng ating mga nasamsam. 14 Sige na, sumama ka na sa amin, at paghahatian natin ang ating mga nasamsam.”
15 Anak, huwag kang sumama sa kanila; iwasan mo sila. 16 Sapagkat mabilis sila sa paggawa ng masama at sa pagpatay ng tao. 17 Walang kabuluhan ang paglalagay ng bitag kung ang ibong iyong huhulihin ay nakatingin. 18 Alam ng ibon na mahuhuli siya, pero ang taong masasama, hindi nila alam na sila rin ang magiging biktima ng ginagawa nila.
19 Ganyan ang mangyayari sa mga taong ang ari-arian ay nakuha sa masamang paraan. Mamamatay sila sa ganoon ding paraan.
Kapag Itinakwil ang Karunungan
20-21 Ang karunungan ay katulad ng isang mangangaral na nagsasalita sa mga lansangan, plasa, pamilihan, at mga pintuang bayan. Sinasabi niya,
22 “Kayong mga walang alam,
hanggang kailan kayo mananatiling ganyan?
Kayong mga nanunuya, hanggang kailan kayo matutuwa sa inyong panunuya?
Kayong mga hangal, hanggang kailan ninyo tatanggihan ang karunungan?
23 Pakinggan ninyo ang pagsaway ko sa inyo.
Sasabihin ko sa inyo kung ano ang iniisip ko.
Ipapaalam ko sa inyo ang aking sasabihin laban sa inyo,
24 sapagkat hindi ninyo pinansin ang panawagan ko na lumapit kayo sa akin,
25 at binalewala ninyo ang lahat ng payo ko at pagsaway.
26-27 Pagtatawanan ko kayo kapag napahamak kayo;
kukutyain ko kayo kapag dumating sa inyo ang paghihirap at mga pangyayaring nakakatakot gaya ng ipu-ipo at bagyo.
28 Tatawag kayo sa akin, ngunit hindi ko kayo sasagutin.
Hahanapin ninyo ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako makikita.
29 Dahil ayaw ninyo na tinuturuan kayo at wala kayong takot sa Panginoon.
30 Tinanggihan ninyo ang mga payo ko at minasama ang aking pagsaway sa inyo.
31 Kaya aanihin ninyo ang bunga ng inyong mga ginagawa at pinaplanong masama.
32 Sapagkat ang katigasan ng ulo ng mga taong walang karunungan ang papatay sa kanila,
at ang pagsasawalang-bahala ng mga hangal ang magpapahamak sa kanila.
33 Ngunit ang taong nakikinig sa akin ay mabubuhay ng matiwasay,
ligtas siya sa panganib at walang katatakutan.”
