11 Ginakangil-aran sang Ginoo ang mga nagapangdaya sa pagkilo, pero ginakalipay niya ang mga wala nagapangdaya.

Ang nagapabugal mahuy-an, pero ang nagapaubos mangin maalamon.

Ang tawo nga matarong makahibalo kon ano ang iya himuon tungod nga husto ang iya nga pagkabuhi, pero ang maluibon nga tawo malaglag tungod nga indi husto ang iya nga pagkabuhi.

Ang manggad indi makabulig kon silutan na sang Dios ang tawo sing kamatayon, pero ang matarong nga pagkabuhi makaluwas sa iya sa kamatayon.

Ang matarong nga pagkabuhi sang tawo nga wala sing kasawayan makapahapos sang iya pagpangabuhi, pero ang malaot nga pagkabuhi sang malaot nga tawo amo ang makapalaglag sa iya.

Ang matarong nga pagkabuhi sang tawo nga nagakabuhi sing husto makaluwas sa iya, pero ang malaot nga mga handom sang maluibon nga tawo makahalit sa iya mismo.

Kon mapatay ang mga malaot, madula ang ila paglaom; ang ila mga ginahandom mangin wala sing pulos.

Ginaluwas sang Dios sa kalisod ang mga matarong pero ang mga malaot iya wala.

Ginahalitan sang mga indi diosnon ang ila isigkatawo paagi sa ila ginahambal.

Nagakaluwas ang mga matarong paagi sa ila kaalam.

10 Nagahinugyaw sa kalipay ang mga pumuluyo sang isa ka siyudad kon nagauswag ang mga matarong kag amo man kon nagakalamatay ang mga malaot.

11 Nagauswag ang siyudad paagi sa pagbendisyon sang mga matarong, pero nagakalaglag ini paagi sa pagpakalain sang mga malaot.

12 Ang tawo nga wala sing pag-intiendi nagayaguta sa iya isigkatawo, pero ang tawo nga may pag-intiendi wala nagayaguta.

13 Ang palakutsokutso nagapanugid sang sekreto, pero ang masaligan nga tawo makatago sang sekreto.

14 Malaglag ang isa ka nasyon kon wala ini sing mga manuglaygay, pero kon may madamo ini nga mga manuglaygay, may kalig-on ini.

15 Delikado kon magpromisa ka nga magbayad sang utang sang iban. Gani kon indi mo gusto magkaproblema indi ina paghimua.

16 Ang mabuot nga babayi nagaani sang pagpadungog, pero ang mapintas nga tawo hasta lang sa pag-angkon sang manggad.

17 Kon maayo ka sa iban, makapaayo ini sa imo, pero kon mapintas ka, makahalit ini sa imo.

18 Ang malaot nga tawo indi makabaton sang matuod nga balos, pero ang nagahimo sang matarong makabaton sang matuod nga balos.

19 Ang tawo nga nagahimo sang matarong padayon nga magakabuhi, pero ang nagahimo sang malaot mapatay.

20 Ginakangil-aran sang Ginoo ang mga tawo nga tiko ang ila panghunahuna, pero ginakalipay niya ang mga tawo nga ang ila pagkabuhi wala sing kasawayan.

21 Sigurado gid nga pagasilutan ang mga malaot, pero ang mga matarong iya indi.

22 Ang katahom sang babayi nga indi maalamon pareho lang sang bulawan nga singsing sa sungad sang baboy.

23 Ang mga ginahandom sang mga matarong makapaayo, pero ang mga ginahandom sang mga malaot makapaakig.

24 May mga tawo nga mahinatagon pero nagadugang pa gid ang ila manggad; may ara man nga mga dalok pero nagaimol pa gani.

25 Ang mahinatagon nga tawo magauswag. Ang tawo nga nagabulig sa iban pagabuligan man.

26 Ginapakamalaot sang mga tawo ang nagatago sang iya baligya agod ibaligya ini kon magtaas na ang presyo, pero ginadayaw sang mga tawo ang wala nagatago.

27 Ang tawo nga nagahandom sang maayo pakitaan sang kaayo, pero ang tawo nga nagapangita sing gamo makita niya ini.

28 Mapaslawan ang tawo nga nagasalig sa manggad, pero ang matarong magauswag pareho sa nagalambo nga tanom.

29 Ang mga buang-buang nga nagadala sang gamo sa ila panimalay wala gid sing may mapanubli sa ulihi. Mangin ulipon lang sila sang mga maalamon.

30 Ang mga binuhatan sang matarong nga tawo makabulig sa iban nga mag-ayo kag maglawig ang ila kabuhi.[a] Kag madala niya ang mga tawo sa iya kaalam.[b]

31 Kon ang mga matarong sa kalibutan nagabaton sang balos sa ila mga ginahimo, labi na gid nga balusan ang mga malaot kag mga makasasala.

  1. Proverbs 11:7 Two Hebrew manuscripts; most Hebrew manuscripts, Vulgate, Syriac and Targum When the wicked die, their hope perishes; / all they expected from

11 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
