Proverbs 1:10-19
New Living Translation
10 My child, if sinners entice you,
turn your back on them!
11 They may say, “Come and join us.
Let’s hide and kill someone!
Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!
12 Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave[a];
let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.
13 Think of the great things we’ll get!
We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.
14 Come, throw in your lot with us;
we’ll all share the loot.”
15 My child, don’t go along with them!
Stay far away from their paths.
16 They rush to commit evil deeds.
They hurry to commit murder.
17 If a bird sees a trap being set,
it knows to stay away.
18 But these people set an ambush for themselves;
they are trying to get themselves killed.
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money;
it robs them of life.

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
10 Anak, ayaw pagpadala sa pagpangdani sa mga tawong makasasala 11 o mouban kanila kon moingon sila, “Dali, uban kanamo; mangatang kitag tawo ug atong patyon bisag walay sala. 12 Buhi pa sila karon ug maayog panglawas apan pamatyon nato sila; mahisama sila sa mga nahiadto na sa dapit sa mga patay. 13 Makakuha kita kanilag mahalong kabtangan, ug pun-on nato ang atong mga balay sa atong mga inilog. 14 Sige na, uban kanamo, ug bahinon ta ang atong mga inilog.”
15 Anak, ayaw gayod pag-uban kanila; likayi sila. 16 Kay sayon ra nila ang pagpakasala ug pagpatay ug tawo. 17 Kawang lang ang pagbutang ug lit-ag kon ang langgam nga dakponon nagatan-aw. 18 Nasayod ang langgam nga lit-agon siya, apan kining mga daotan wala masayod nga sila mismo ang mabiktima sa ilang binuhatan. Mangatang silag patyonon apan silay pagapatyon. 19 Mao kanay dangatan sa mga tawong moangkon ug kabtangan sa daotang paagi. Mao ra kanay ilang kamatyan.
