Mga Kawikaan 2
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang babala ng karunungan laban sa mga napopoot sa kaniya.
2 Anak ko, kung iyong tatanggapin ang aking mga salita,
(A)At tataglayin mo ang aking mga utos;
2 Na anopa't iyong ikikiling ang iyong pakinig sa karunungan,
At ihihilig mo ang iyong puso sa pagunawa;
3 Oo, kung ikaw ay dadaing ng pagbubulay,
At itataas mo ang iyong tinig sa pagunawa;
4 (B)Kung iyong hahanapin siya na parang pilak,
At sasaliksikin mo siyang parang kayamanang natatago.
5 Kung magkagayo'y iyong mauunawa ang pagkatakot sa Panginoon,
At masusumpungan mo ang kaalaman ng Dios.
6 Sapagka't ang Panginoon ay nagbibigay ng karunungan,
Sa kaniyang bibig nanggagaling ang kaalaman at kaunawaan:
7 Kaniyang pinapagtataglay ang matuwid ng magaling na karunungan,
(C)Siya'y kalasag sa nagsisilakad sa pagtatapat;
8 Upang kaniyang mabantayan ang mga landas ng kahatulan,
At (D)maingatan ang daan ng kaniyang mga banal.
9 Kung magkagayo'y mauunawa mo ang katuwiran at ang kahatulan,
At ang karampatan, oo, bawa't mabuting landas.
10 Sapagka't karunungan ay papasok sa iyong puso,
At kaalaman ay magiging ligaya sa iyong kaluluwa;
11 Kabaitan ay magbabantay sa iyo,
Pagkaunawa ay magiingat sa iyo:
12 Upang iligtas ka sa daan ng kasamaan,
Sa mga taong nagsisipagsalita ng mga masamang bagay;
13 Na nagpapabaya ng mga landas ng katuwiran,
(E)Upang magsilakad sa mga daan ng kadiliman;
14 Na (F)nangagagalak na magsigawa ng kasamaan,
At (G)nangaaaliw sa mga karayaan ng kasamaan,
15 Na mga liko sa kanilang mga lakad,
At mga suwail sa kanilang mga landas:
16 (H)Upang iligtas ka sa masamang babae,
Sa makatuwid baga'y sa di kilala na nanghahalina ng kaniyang mga salita;
17 (I)Na nagpapabaya sa kaibigan ng kaniyang kabataan,
At lumilimot ng tipan ng kaniyang Dios:
18 Sapagka't ang (J)kaniyang bahay ay kumikiling sa kamatayan,
At ang kaniyang mga landas na sa patay:
19 Walang naparoroon sa kaniya na bumabalik uli,
Ni kanila mang tinatamo ang mga landas ng buhay:
20 Upang ikaw ay makalakad ng lakad ng mabubuting tao,
At maingatan ang mga landas ng matuwid.
21 (K)Sapagka't ang matuwid ay tatahan sa lupain,
At ang sakdal ay mamamalagi roon.
22 (L)Nguni't ang masama ay mahihiwalay sa lupain,
At silang nagsisigawang may karayaan ay mangabubunot.

Moral Benefits of Wisdom
2 My son,(A) if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding(B)—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight(C)
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,(D)
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.(E)
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;(F)
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.(G)
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield(H) to those whose walk is blameless,(I)
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.(J)
9 Then you will understand(K) what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,(L)
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.(M)
12 Wisdom will save(N) you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,(O)
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,(P)
15 whose paths are crooked(Q)
and who are devious in their ways.(R)
16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,(S)
from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God.[a](T)
18 Surely her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.(U)
19 None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.(V)

The Value of Wisdom
2 (A)My son, (B)if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice (C)for understanding,
4 if you seek it like (D)silver
and search for it as for (E)hidden treasures,
5 then (F)you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For (G)the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is (H)a shield to those who (I)walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
and (J)watching over the way of his (K)saints.
9 (L)Then you will understand (M)righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 (N)discretion will (O)watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to (P)walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who (Q)rejoice in doing evil
and (R)delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose (S)paths are crooked,
(T)and who are (U)devious in their ways.
16 So (V)you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman,
from (W)the adulteress[b] with (X)her smooth words,
17 who forsakes (Y)the companion of her youth
and forgets (Z)the covenant of her God;
18 (AA)for her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed;[c]
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright (AB)will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be (AC)cut off from the land,
and the treacherous will be (AD)rooted out of it.
