Panultihon 28
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
28 Ang tawong daotan moikyas bisag walay naggukod kaniya, apan ang tawong matarong dili mahadlok sama sa liyon.
2 Kon ang usa ka nasod magpakasala, kanunay pulihan ang ilang pangulo. Apan molig-on ang usa ka nasod kon ang pangulo niini maalamon.
3 Ang tawong kabos nga nagapangdaog-daog sa sama niyang kabos sama sa makusog nga ulan nga nagadaot sa mga tanom.
4 Ang mga nagasalikway sa Kasugoan nagadayeg sa mga daotan, apan ang mga nagatuman niini, makigbatok sa mga daotan.
5 Ang mga tawong daotan wala makasabot kon unsay hustisya, apan ang mga nagadangop sa Ginoo nakasabot pag-ayo niini.
6 Mas maayo pa ang kabos nga dili salawayon kaysa adunahan apan salawayon.
7 Maalamon ang anak nga nagatuman sa Kasugoan, apan ang anak nga makighigala sa mga badlongon[a] nagapakaulaw sa iyang ginikanan.
8 Kon maadunahan ka pinaagi sa pagpatubo ug kuwarta, ang imong bahandi mapaingon sa tawong matinabangon sa mga kabos.
9 Si bisan kinsa nga dili motuman sa Kasugoan, kangil-aran sa Dios bisan ang iyang pag-ampo.
10 Ang tawo nga mosulsol sa tawong matarong ngadto sa pagpakasala mabiktima sa iyang kaugalingong laang. Apan ang tawo kansang kinabuhi walay ikasaway mouswag.
11 Naghunahuna ang mga adunahan nga maalamon na gayod sila, apan ang tawong kabos nga may panabot nahibalo kon unsa gayoy ilang tinuod nga pagkatawo.
12 Kon ang mga matarong ang magmadaogon malipay ang mga tawo, apan kon ang mga daotan na ang modumala manago sila.
13 Dili ka gayod magmauswagon kon ilimod mo ang imong mga sala, apan kon isulti mo kini ug talikdan, kaloy-an ka sa Dios.
14 Bulahan ang tawo nga nagatahod kanunay sa Dios, apan ang tawo nga gahi ug kasingkasing malaglag.
15 Ang tawong daotan nga nagadumala sa mga kabos sama sa nagangulob nga liyon o oso nga andam sa pagtukob sa iyang biktima.
16 Ang tigdumala nga walay panabot labihan kabangis.
Ang tigdumala nga dili buot maadunahan sa daotang paagi makaangkon ug taas nga kinabuhi.
17 Ang tawo nga ginahasol sa iyang konsensya tungod sa iyang pagpatay sa usa ka tawo magtago-tago hangtod mamatay siya. Ayaw ninyo siyag tabangi.
18 Ang tawong nagakinabuhi nga walay ikasaway layo sa katalagman, apan ang tawong daotan kalit lang nga malaglag.
19 Ang kugihan nga mag-uuma may abunda nga pagkaon, apan ang nagagamit sa iyang panahon sa walay pulos nga mga buluhaton mapobre.
20 Panalanginan gayod sa Dios ang kasaligan nga tawo, apan ang tawo nga nagdali nga maadunahan pagasilotan.
21 Dili maayo kon may pinalabi. Apan may mga tawo nga nagahimo niini tungod kay nadala sa suborno, bisan gamay kini.
22 Ang tawong hangol ug kuwarta nagdali nga maadunahan, apan wala siya masayod nga mapobre diay hinuon siya.
23 Sa kaulahian, mas pasalamatan pa sa usa ka tawo ang tawong mibadlong kaniya kaysa niadtong miulog-ulog kaniya.
24 Ang tawo nga mangawat gikan sa iyang ginikanan ug nagaingon nga dili kini sala, kauban sa mga kriminal.
25 Ang tawong hakog makahatag ug kasamok, apan ang tawong nagasalig sa Ginoo mouswag.
26 Ang tawong nagasalig sa iyang kaugalingon buang-buang.
Ang tawong nagkinabuhi nga maalamon layo sa katalagman.
27 Ang tawo nga mahinatagon sa mga kabos dili gayod mawad-an, apan ang walay pagpakabana sa mga kabos makadawat sa daghang panghimaraot.
28 Manago ang mga tawo kon ang mga daotan ang modumala. Apan kon malaglag sila, mouswag ang mga matarong.

Proverbs 28
New International Version
2 When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers,
but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.
3 A ruler[a] who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.
4 Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked,
but those who heed it resist them.
5 Evildoers do not understand what is right,
but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.
6 Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than the rich whose ways are perverse.(D)
7 A discerning son heeds instruction,
but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.(E)
8 Whoever increases wealth by taking interest(F) or profit from the poor
amasses it for another,(G) who will be kind to the poor.(H)
9 If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
even their prayers are detestable.(I)
10 Whoever leads the upright along an evil path
will fall into their own trap,(J)
but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
11 The rich are wise in their own eyes;
one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;(K)
but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.(L)
13 Whoever conceals their sins(M) does not prosper,
but the one who confesses(N) and renounces them finds mercy.(O)
14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
16 A tyrannical ruler practices extortion,
but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.
17 Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder
will seek refuge(P) in the grave;
let no one hold them back.
18 The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe,(Q)
but the one whose ways are perverse will fall(R) into the pit.[b]
19 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.(S)
20 A faithful person will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.(T)
22 The stingy are eager to get rich
and are unaware that poverty awaits them.(X)
23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor
rather than one who has a flattering tongue.(Y)
24 Whoever robs their father or mother(Z)
and says, “It’s not wrong,”
is partner to one who destroys.(AA)
27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,(AF)
but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.(AG)
28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding;(AH)
but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.

Proverbs 28
King James Version
28 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.
26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
