Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away fury; but a grievous word stirreth up anger.
Ny famaliana mora dia mampianina ny fahatezerana mafy; Fa ny teny maharary mahatonga fahasosorana.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright; but the mouth of the foolish poureth 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, beholding the evil and the good.
Ny mason’ i Jehovah amin’ izao rehetra izao, Mijery ny ratsy fanahy sy ny tsara fanahy.
4 Gentleness of tongue is a tree of life; but crookedness therein is a breaking of the spirit.
Ny teny malemy dia hazon’ aina; Fa ny vava ratsy mandratra ny fanahy.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction; but he that regardeth reproof becometh prudent.
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 revenue of a wicked [man] is disturbance.
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 not so the heart of the foolish.
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 him that pursueth righteousness he loveth.
Fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah ny lalan’ ny ratsy fanahy; Fa izay fatra-panaraka ny fahamarinana no tiany.
10 Grievous correction is for him that forsaketh the path; he that hateth reproof shall die.
Famaizana mafy no hihatra amin’ izay mivily lalana. Eny, izay mankahala anatra dia ho faty.
11 Sheol and destruction are before Jehovah; how much more then the hearts of the children 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 scorner loveth not one that reproveth him; he will not go unto the wise.
Tsy tian’ ny mpaniratsira izay mananatra azy, Ary tsy mety manatona ny hendry izy.
13 A joyful heart maketh 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 an intelligent [man] seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish feedeth 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 a cheerful heart is 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 store and disquietude therewith.
Aleo ny kely misy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah Toy izay harena be misy ahiahy.
17 Better is a meal of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred therewith.
Aleo sakafo anana ampian-tsetsetra Toy izay omby mifahy asian-dromoromo.
18 A furious man stirreth up contention; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth 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 plain.
Ny lalan’ ny malaina dia toy ny fefy tsilo Fa ny lalamben’ ny marina dia voalamina tsara.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Ny zanaka hendry mahafaly ny rainy; Fa ny adala manao tsinontsinona an-dreniny.
21 Folly is joy to him that is void of sense; but a man of understanding regulateth his walk.
Ny fahadalana dia fifalian’ ny tsy ampy saina; Fa ny manan-tsaina kosa mizotra mahitsy
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
Ho foana ny fikasana, raha tsy misy mpisaina; Fa raha maro ny mpanolo-tsaina, dia tanteraka izany.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth; and a word in its season, how good is it!
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 plucketh up the house of the proud; but he establisheth the boundary of the widow.
Ravan’ i Jehovah ny tranon’ ny mpiavonavona; Fa ny fari-tanin’ ny mpitondra-tena aoriny mafy.
26 The thoughts of the evil [man] are an abomination to Jehovah; but pure words are pleasant.
Fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah ny hevi-dratsy; Fa madio ny teny mahafinaritra.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts 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] studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth 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 heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Jehovah dia lavitra ny ratsy fanahy; Fa ny fivavaky ny marina no henoiny.
30 That which enlighteneth the eyes rejoiceth the heart; good tidings make the bones fat.
Ny tarehy miramirana mahafaly ny fo; Ary ny filazan-tsoa mamelombelona ny taolana.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life shall abide among the wise.
Ny sofina izay mihaino anatra mahavelona Dia miara-mitoetra amin’ ny hendry.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul; but he that heareth reproof getteth sense.
Izay mandà anatra dia manary tena; Fa izay mihaino ny fananarana no mahazo fahalalana.
33 The fear of Jehovah is the discipline of wisdom, and before honour [goeth] humility.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah dia fananarana mampahahendry; Ary ny fanetren-tena mialoha ny fisandratana.
