Proverbs 13
New King James Version
Wisdom Loves Righteousness
13 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
(A)But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2 (B)A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth,
But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.
3 (C)He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 (D)The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing;
But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
5 A righteous man hates lying,
But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.
6 (E)Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless,
But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 (F)There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;
And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.
8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
But the poor does not hear rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoices,
(G)But the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
10 By pride comes nothing but (H)strife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.
11 (I)Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished,
But he who gathers by labor will increase.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But (J)when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
13 He who (K)despises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
14 (L)The law of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from (M)the snares of death.
15 Good understanding [a]gains (N)favor,
But the way of the unfaithful is hard.
16 (O)Every prudent man acts with knowledge,
But a fool lays open his folly.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
But (P)a faithful ambassador brings health.
18 Poverty and shame will come to him who [b]disdains correction,
But (Q)he who regards a rebuke will be honored.
19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
21 (R)Evil pursues sinners,
But to the righteous, good shall be repaid.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But (S)the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
25 (V)The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul,
But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.

Kawikaan 13
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
13 Ang matalinong anak ay nakikinig sa pagtutuwid ng kanyang ama, ngunit ang nangungutyang anak ay hindi nakikinig kapag sinasaway siya.
2 Ang taong nagsasalita ng mabuti ay gagantihan ng mabuting bagay, ngunit ang salita ng taong hindi tapat ay gagantihan ng karahasan.
3 Ang taong maingat sa pagsasalita ay nag-iingat ng kanyang buhay. Ngunit ang taong madaldal, dulot sa sarili ay kapahamakan.
4 Ang taong tamad hindi makukuha ang hinahangad, ngunit ang taong masipag ay magkakaroon ng higit pa sa kanyang hinahangad.
5 Ang taong matuwid ay namumuhi sa kasinungalingan, ngunit ang taong masama ay gumagawa ng mga bagay na kahiya-hiya.
6 Ang taong walang kapintasan ay iingatan dahil sa kanyang matuwid na pamumuhay, ngunit ang makasalanan ay mapapahamak dahil sa kanyang kasamaan.
7 May mga taong nagkukunwaring mayaman ngunit mahirap naman, at may mga nagkukunwaring mahirap ngunit mayaman naman.
8 Ang taong mayaman kapag dinukot ay may pantubos sa kanyang buhay, ngunit ang taong mahirap ni hindi man lang pinagtatangkaan.
9 Ang buhay ng taong matuwid ay parang ilaw na maliwanag, ngunit ang buhay ng masama ay parang ilaw na namatay.
10 Ang kayabangan ay humahantong sa kaguluhan at pagtatalo, ngunit ang nakikinig sa payo ay nagpapahiwatig ng karunungan.
11 Ang kayamanang nakuha sa pandaraya ay madaling nawawala, ngunit ang kayamanang pinaghirapan ay pinagpapala.
12 Ang hangarin na naantala ay nakapanghihina, ngunit ang hangarin na natupad ay nakapagpapalakas at nakapagpapasigla.[a]
13 Ang taong tumatanggi sa turo at utos sa kanya ay mapapahamak, ngunit ang sumusunod dito ay gagantimpalaan.
14 Ang mga turo ng taong may karunungan ay magpapabuti at magpapahaba ng iyong buhay at mailalayo ka sa kamatayan.
15 Ang taong may mabuting pang-unawa ay iginagalang, ngunit ang taong taksil ay kapahamakan ang kahahantungan.
16 Ang taong marunong umunawa kung ano ang tama at mali ay pinag-iisipan muna ang isang bagay bago niya gawin, ngunit ang taong hangal ay hindi nag-iisip, ipinakikita niya ang kanyang kahangalan.
17 Ang masamang sugo ay lumilikha ng kaguluhan, ngunit ang mapagkakatiwalaang sugo ay nagpapabuti ng ugnayan.
18 Ang taong ayaw tumanggap ng pangaral ay dadanas ng kahirapan at kahihiyan, ngunit ang tumatanggap nito ay pararangalan.
19 Ang pangarap na natupad ay nagdudulot ng ligaya; subalit ang taong hangal ay hindi tumitigil sa paggawa ng masama.
20 Kapag ang lagi mong kasama ay isang taong marunong, magiging marunong ka rin, ngunit kung hangal ang lagi mong kasama ay mapapahamak ka.
21 Ang kapahamakan ay darating sa mga makasalanan saanman sila magpunta, ngunit ang mga matuwid ay gagantimpalaan ng mabubuting bagay.
22 Ang kayamanan ng mabuting tao ay mamanahin ng kanyang mga apo, ngunit ang kayamanan ng makasalanan ay mapupunta sa mga matuwid.
23 Umani man ng sagana ang lupain ng mahihirap, hindi rin sila makikinabang dito dahil sa hindi makatuwirang patakaran ng iba.
24 Ang mapagmahal na magulang ay nagdidisiplina ng kanyang anak. Sapagkat kung mahal mo ang iyong anak itutuwid mo ang kanyang ugali.
25 Ang taong matuwid ay makakakain ng sapat, ngunit ang masasama ay magugutom.

13 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.(A)
2 From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things,(B)
but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
3 Those who guard their lips(C) preserve their lives,(D)
but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.(E)
4 A sluggard’s appetite is never filled,(F)
but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
5 The righteous hate what is false,(G)
but the wicked make themselves a stench
and bring shame on themselves.
6 Righteousness guards the person of integrity,
but wickedness overthrows the sinner.(H)
7 One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;(I)
another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.(J)
8 A person’s riches may ransom their life,
but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.(K)
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly,
but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.(L)
10 Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.(M)

but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.(O)

but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction.[a]
18 Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame,(Y)

but fools detest turning from evil.
20 Walk with the wise and become wise,
for a companion of fools suffers harm.(AB)

but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.(AF)

but injustice sweeps it away.

but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline(AH) them.(AI)

but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.(AJ)
