1Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
1Mênimobresi êrib chixyebal cßaßru têbânu cuulaj xban nak incßaß nequenau cßaßru tâcßulmânk cuulaj.
2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
2Mêqßue êlokßal êjunes êrib. Kßaxal us nak jalan teßqßuehok êlokßal.
3A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
3Li pec ut li samaib kßaxal chßaßaj xcuybal li râlal. Abanan kßaxal cuißchic chßaßaj xcuybal lix joskßil li mâcßaß xnaßleb.
4Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
4Li joskßil naqßuehoc chßaßajquilal. Li joskßil nasachoc. Abanan li cakalînc, aßan li kßaxal cuißchic ra naxbânu.
5Open rebuke is better than secret love.
5Kßaxal us nak tatkßusuk chi tzßakal re ru chiru nak tatrahok chi yal xcab rix âchßôl.
6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
6Kßaxal us lâ cuamîg li nakßusuc âcue chi tzßakal re ru, usta ra tâcuecßa nak tatxkßus, chiru li jun li xicß na-iloc âcue, usta aßan naxye nak tzßakal âcuamîg.
7The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
7Li ani nujenak xsaß incßaß chic sa narecßa li xyaßal cab. Abanan li tâtzßocâk, usta incßaß sa, tixtzaca xban nak tâtzßocâk.
8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
8Li ani naxcanab li rochoch, aßan chanchan li xul li naxcanab xsoc.
9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
9Li sununquil ban naxqßue sahil chßôlej. Ut naxqßue ajcuiß xsahil xchßôl li châbil naßleb li nequeßxqßue li amigos.
10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
10Mâtzßektânaheb lâ cuamîg chi moco tâtzßektânaheb li ramîg lâ yucuaß. Chi moco tatxic saß rochoch lâ cuas chixyebal li chßaßajquilal li cuancat cuiß. Kßaxal us nak tatxtenkßa lâ cuechcabal li nachß cuan chiru nak tatxtenkßa lâ cuas li najt cuan.
11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
11Ex cualal incßajol, chicuânk ênaßleb re nak sahak inchßôl êriqßuin. Chi joßcan tinnau xsumenquil li nequeßhoboc cue.
12A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
12Li ani cuanqueb xnaßleb nequeßxqßue retal li raylal ut nequeßxcol ribeb chiru. Abanan eb li mâcßaßeb xnaßleb nequeßxcßul li raylal nachal saß xbêneb xban nak incßaß nequeßxnau xqßuebal retal.
13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
13Li ani tixsume xtojbal xcßas junak incßaß naxnau ru, isihomak li rakß ut têqßue chokß prenda.
14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
14Li ani tâxic toj ekßela chixqßuebal xsahil xchßôl li ramîg chi japjôk re, aßan chanchan nak japjôk re chixhobbal.
15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
15Junak li ixakilbej junes chßilânc naxbânu, aßan chanchan li oques li na-oc saß cab rajlal nak yô li hab.
16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
16Li ikß incßaß naru xrambal, chi moco li aceite târûk tâcanâk saß âcuukß. Tâhoyekß ban. Joßcan ajcuiß li ixk li nacuulac chiru chßilânc. Incßaß naru xrambal chiru.
17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
17Li chßîchß riqßuin chßîchß ajcuiß nakßesnâc. Joßcan ajcuiß li cuînk. Cuînk ajcuiß tâqßuehok xnaßleb.
18Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
18Li ani naxchßolani lix tônal lix higo tixtzaca li ru. Ut li ani naril chi us li cßaßru re lix patrón, aßan tâqßuehekß xlokßal.
19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
19Joß nak nakil li xnakß ku saß li haß, joßcan ajcuiß nak nakaqßue retal kacßaßux riqßuin jalan.
20Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
20Li xbalba ut li muklebâl mâ jokße nequeßnujac riqßuin li joß qßuial nequeßxcßul. Joßcaneb ajcuiß li cristian. Incßaß nequeßcßojla xchßôl riqßuin li joß qßuial cuan reheb. Toj nequeßxrahi ru xtzßakob.
21As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
21Li oro ut li plata isinbil lix tzßajnil riqßuin xam. Abanan eb li cristian nacßutun chanru lix naßlebeb nak nequeßqßueheß xlokßal.
22Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
22Usta tâtenle junak li mâcßaß xnaßleb, abanan mâ jokße tixtau xyâlal. Junelic ban mâcßaßak xnaßleb.
23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
23Chanauhak rilbaleb lâ carner. Ut chaqßuehak âchßôl chirilbaleb lâ quetômk,
24For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
24xban nak li biomal ut li cuanquilal moco nacuan ta chi junelic. Na-osoß ban.
25The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
25Tâêlk chi us li ichaj. Nak acak xayocß chak li ichaj, jalan chic rêkaj tâêlk.
26The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
26Eb lâ cocß carner teßxqßue li lana re nak naru tâyîb lâ cuakß. Ut naru ajcuiß nacacßayi eb lâ cocß chibât re nak tâcuânk âtumin re xlokßbal lâ chßochß.Ut eb lâ chibât nabal li leche teßxqßue re tâchßolani âcuib lâat, joß ajcuiß lâ cualal âcßajol, joßqueb ajcuiß chixjunileb li nequeßtrabajic saß lâ cuochoch.
27And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
27Ut eb lâ chibât nabal li leche teßxqßue re tâchßolani âcuib lâat, joß ajcuiß lâ cualal âcßajol, joßqueb ajcuiß chixjunileb li nequeßtrabajic saß lâ cuochoch.
