Miyambo 15
1 Kuyankha kofatsa kumathetsa mkwiyo, koma mawu ozaza amautsa ukali.
A soft answere brekith ire; an hard word reisith woodnesse.
2 Munthu wanzeru amayankhula zinthu za nzeru, koma pakamwa pa zitsiru pamatulutsa za uchitsiru.
The tunge of wise men ourneth kunnyng; the mouth of foolis buylith out foli.
3 Maso a Yehova ali ponseponse, amayangʼana pa oyipa ndi abwino omwe.
In ech place the iyen of the Lord biholden good men, and yuel men.
4 Kuyankhula kodekha kuli ngati mtengo wopatsa moyo, koma kuyankhula kopotoka kumapweteka mtima.
A plesaunt tunge is the tre of lijf; but the tunge which is vnmesurable, schal defoule the spirit.
5 Chitsiru chimanyoza mwambo wa abambo ake, koma wochenjera amasamala chidzudzulo.
A fool scorneth the techyng of his fadir; but he that kepith blamyngis, schal be maad wisere. Moost vertu schal be in plenteuouse riytfulnesse; but the thouytis of wickid men schulen be drawun vp bi the roote.
6 Munthu wolungama amakhala ndi chuma chambiri, zimene woyipa amapindula nazo zimamugwetsa mʼmavuto.
The hous of a iust man is moost strengthe; and disturbling is in the fruitis of a wickid man.
7 Pakamwa pa anthu anzeru pamafalitsa nzeru; koma mitima ya zitsiru sitero.
The lippis of wise men schulen sowe abrood kunnyng; the herte of foolis schal be vnlijc.
8 Nsembe za anthu oyipa zimamunyansa Yehova, koma amakondwera ndi pemphero la anthu owona mtima.
The sacrifices of wickyd men ben abhomynable to the Lord; avowis of iust men ben plesaunt.
9 Ntchito za anthu oyipa zimamunyansa Yehova koma amakonda amene amafunafuna chilungamo.
The lijf of the vnpitouse man is abhomynacioun to the Lord; he that sueth riytfulnesse, schal be loued of the Lord.
10 Amene amasiya njira yabwino adzalangidwa koopsa. Odana ndi chidzudzulo adzafa.
Yuel teching is of men forsakinge the weie of lijf; he that hatith blamyngis, schal die.
Helle and perdicioun ben open bifor the Lord; hou myche more the hertis of sones of men. (Sheol h7585)
12 Wonyoza sakonda kudzudzulidwa; iye sapita kwa anthu anzeru.
A man ful of pestilence loueth not hym that repreueth him; and he goith not to wyse men.
13 Mtima wokondwa umachititsa nkhope kukhala yachimwemwe, koma mtima wosweka umawawitsa moyo.
A ioiful herte makith glad the face; the spirit is cast doun in the morenyng of soule.
14 Mtima wa munthu wozindikira zinthu umafunafuna nzeru, koma pakamwa pa zitsiru pamadya uchitsiru wawo.
The herte of a wijs man sekith techyng; and the mouth of foolis is fed with vnkunnyng.
15 Munthu woponderezedwa masiku ake onse amakhala oyipa, koma mtima wachimwemwe umakhala pa chisangalalo nthawi zonse.
Alle the daies of a pore man ben yuele; a sikir soule is a contynuel feeste.
16 Kuli bwino kukhala ndi zinthu pangʼono nʼkumaopa Yehova, kusiyana ndi kukhala ndi chuma chambiri uli pamavuto.
Betere is a litil with the drede of the Lord, than many tresouris and vnfillable.
17 Kuli bwino kudyera ndiwo zamasamba pamene pali chikondi, kusiyana ndi kudyera nyama yangʼombe yonenepa pamene pali udani.
It is betere to be clepid to wortis with charite, than with hatrede to a calf maad fat.
18 Munthu wopsa mtima msanga amayambitsa mikangano, koma munthu woleza mtima amathetsa ndewu.
A wrathful man reisith chidyngis; he that is pacient, swagith chidyngis reisid.
19 Njira ya munthu waulesi ndi yowirira ndi mtengo waminga, koma njira ya munthu wolungama ili ngati msewu waukulu.
The weie of slow men is an hegge of thornes; the weie of iust men is with out hirtyng.
20 Mwana wanzeru amakondweretsa abambo ake, koma mwana wopusa amanyoza amayi ake.
A wise sone makith glad the fadir; and a fonned man dispisith his modir.
21 Uchitsiru umakondweretsa munthu wopanda nzeru, koma munthu womvetsa zinthu amayenda mowongoka.
Foli is ioye to a fool; and a prudent man schal dresse hise steppis.
22 Popanda uphungu zolinga zako munthu zimalephereka, koma pakakhala aphungu ambiri zolinga zimatheka.
Thouytis ben distried, where no counsel is; but where many counseleris ben, tho ben confermyd.
23 Munthu amakondwera ndi kuyankha koyenera, ndipo mawu onena pa nthawi yake ndi okoma.
A man is glad in the sentence of his mouth; and a couenable word is best.
The path of lijf is on a lernyd man; that he bowe awei fro the laste helle. (Sheol h7585)
25 Yehova amapasula nyumba ya munthu wonyada koma amasamalira malo a mkazi wamasiye.
The Lord schal distrie the hows of proude men; and he schal make stidefast the coostis of a widewe.
26 Maganizo a anthu oyipa amamunyansa Yehova, koma mawu a anthu oyera mtima amamusangalatsa.
Iuele thouytis is abhomynacioun of the Lord; and a cleene word moost fair schal be maad stidfast of hym.
27 Munthu wofuna phindu mwachinyengo amavutitsa banja lake, koma wodana ndi ziphuphu adzakhala ndi moyo.
He that sueth aueryce, disturblith his hous; but he that hatith yiftis schal lyue. Synnes ben purgid bi merci and feith; ech man bowith awei fro yuel bi the drede of the Lord.
28 Munthu wolungama amaganizira za mmene ayankhire, koma pakamwa pa munthu woyipa pamatulutsa mawu oyipa.
The soule of a iust man bithenkith obedience; the mouth of wickid men is ful of yuelis.
29 Yehova amakhala kutali ndi anthu oyipa, koma amamva pemphero la anthu olungama.
The Lord is fer fro wickid men; and he schal here the preyers of iust men.
30 Kuwala kwa maso kumasangalatsa mtima ndipo uthenga wabwino umalimbitsa munthu.
The liyt of iyen makith glad the soule; good fame makith fat the boonys.
31 Womvera mawu a chidzudzulo amene apatsa moyo adzakhala pakati pa anthu anzeru.
The eere that herith the blamyngis of lijf, schal dwelle in the myddis of wise men.
32 Amene amanyoza mwambo amadzinyoza yekha, koma womvera mawu a chidzudzulo amapeza nzeru zomvetsa zinthu.
He that castith awei chastisyng, dispisith his soule; but he that assentith to blamyngis, is pesible holdere of the herte.
33 Kuopa Yehova kumaphunzitsa munthu nzeru, ndipo kudzichepetsa ndi ulemu chili patsogolo ndi kudzichepetsa.
The drede of the Lord is teching of wisdom; and mekenesse goith bifore glorie.
