Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a grievous word stirs up anger.
Ny famaliana mora dia mampianina ny fahatezerana mafy; Fa ny teny maharary mahatonga fahasosorana.
2 The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.
Ny lelan’ ny hendry mampiseho fahalalana tsara; Fa ny vavan’ ny adala miboiboika fahadalana.
3 The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
Ny mason’ i Jehovah amin’ izao rehetra izao, Mijery ny ratsy fanahy sy ny tsara fanahy.
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit.
Ny teny malemy dia hazon’ aina; Fa ny vava ratsy mandratra ny fanahy.
5 A fool despises his father's correction, but he who regards reproof gets prudence.
Ny adala maniratsira ny famaizan-drainy; Fa izay mitandrina ny fananarana no hita ho hendry.
6 In the house of a righteous man is much treasure, but in the revenues of a wicked man is trouble.
Ao an-tranon’ ny marina misy harena be; Fa ny fitomboan’ ny haren’ ny ratsy fanahy dia misy loza.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish, not so.
Ny molotry ny hendry mampiely fahendrena; Fa tsy mba toy izany ny fon’ ny adala.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Ny fanatitry ny ratsy fanahy dia fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah; Fa ny fivavaky ny marina no sitrany.
9 The way of a wicked man is an abomination to Jehovah, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
Fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah ny lalan’ ny ratsy fanahy; Fa izay fatra-panaraka ny fahamarinana no tiany.
10 There is grievous correction for him who forsakes the way. He who hates reproof shall die.
Famaizana mafy no hihatra amin’ izay mivily lalana. Eny, izay mankahala anatra dia ho faty.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah. How much more then the hearts of the sons of men! (Sheol h7585)
Ny fiainan-tsi-hita sy ny fandringanana aza dia miharihary eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Koa mainka ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona! (Sheol h7585)
12 A scoffer does not like to be reproved. He will not go to the wise.
Tsy tian’ ny mpaniratsira izay mananatra azy, Ary tsy mety manatona ny hendry izy.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
Ny fo ravoravo mahamiramirana ny tarehy; Fa ny alahelon’ ny fo mahareraka ny fanahy.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
Ny fon’ ny manan-tsaina mitady fahendrena; Fa ny vavan’ ny adala mankamamy ny fahadalana.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
Ratsy avokoa ny andron’ ny ory; Fa ny faharavoravoam-po dia fanasana mandrakariva.
16 Better is little with the fear of Jehovah, than great treasure and trouble with it.
Aleo ny kely misy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah Toy izay harena be misy ahiahy.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred with it.
Aleo sakafo anana ampian-tsetsetra Toy izay omby mifahy asian-dromoromo.
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but he who is slow to anger appeases strife.
Izay malaky tezitra manetsika ady; Fa izay mahatsindry fo mampitsahatra fifandirana.
19 The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is made a highway.
Ny lalan’ ny malaina dia toy ny fefy tsilo Fa ny lalamben’ ny marina dia voalamina tsara.
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
Ny zanaka hendry mahafaly ny rainy; Fa ny adala manao tsinontsinona an-dreniny.
21 Folly is joy to him who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding makes his going straight.
Ny fahadalana dia fifalian’ ny tsy ampy saina; Fa ny manan-tsaina kosa mizotra mahitsy
22 Where there is no counsel, plans are disappointed, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Ho foana ny fikasana, raha tsy misy mpisaina; Fa raha maro ny mpanolo-tsaina, dia tanteraka izany.
23 A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!
Faly ny olona, raha mahavaly tsara ny vavany, Ary endrey ny hatsaran’ ny teny atao amin’ izay andro mahamety azy!
Làlan’ aina ho any ambony no alehan’ ny hendry, Hanalavirany ny fiainan-tsi-hita any ambany, (Sheol h7585)
25 Jehovah will root up the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow.
Ravan’ i Jehovah ny tranon’ ny mpiavonavona; Fa ny fari-tanin’ ny mpitondra-tena aoriny mafy.
26 Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah, but pleasant words are pure.
Fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah ny hevi-dratsy; Fa madio ny teny mahafinaritra.
27 He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes shall live.
Izay fatra-pila harena dia mampidi-doza amin’ ny ankohonany; Fa izay mankahala kolikoly no ho velona.
28 The heart of a righteous man meditates to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
Ny fon’ ny marina mihevitra vao mamaly; Fa ny vavan’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa miboiboika faharatsiana.
29 Jehovah is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Jehovah dia lavitra ny ratsy fanahy; Fa ny fivavaky ny marina no henoiny.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news make the bones fat.
Ny tarehy miramirana mahafaly ny fo; Ary ny filazan-tsoa mamelombelona ny taolana.
31 The ear that hearkens to the reproof of life shall abide among the wise.
Ny sofina izay mihaino anatra mahavelona Dia miara-mitoetra amin’ ny hendry.
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who hearkens to reproof gets understanding.
Izay mandà anatra dia manary tena; Fa izay mihaino ny fananarana no mahazo fahalalana.
33 The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah dia fananarana mampahahendry; Ary ny fanetren-tena mialoha ny fisandratana.
