20 My child, pay attention to what I say.
    Listen carefully to my words.
21 Don’t lose sight of them.
    Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
22 for they bring life to those who find them,
    and healing to their whole body.

23 Guard your heart above all else,
    for it determines the course of your life.

24 Avoid all perverse talk;
    stay away from corrupt speech.

25 Look straight ahead,
    and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
26 Mark out a straight path for your feet;
    stay on the safe path.
27 Don’t get sidetracked;
    keep your feet from following evil.

20 Anak, pamatia pag-ayo ang gipangtudlo ko kanimo; 21 ayaw gayod kini kalimti, hinuon tipigi kini sa imong kasingkasing. 22 Kay maghatag kinig maayong panglawas ug taas nga kinabuhi sa nagabaton niini.

23 Bantayi pag-ayo ang imong hunahuna, kay kon unsay anaa sa imong hunahuna mao usab ang imong ikinabuhi. 24 Ayaw pangilad o pamakak. 25 Isentro ang imong panghunahuna sa mga butang nga maayo. 26 Balansiha pag-ayo ang tanan mong pagahimuon aron maayo ang mahimong resulta niini. 27 Pagtinarong; likayi ang paghimo ug daotan.
