Proverbs 15
1 A soft answere putteth away wrath: but grieuous wordes stirre vp anger.
Ìdáhùn pẹ̀lẹ́ yí ìbínú padà ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ líle máa ń ru ìbínú sókè.
2 The tongue of the wise vseth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fooles babbleth out foolishnesse.
Ahọ́n ọlọ́gbọ́n a máa gbé ìmọ̀ jáde ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu aláìgbọ́n ń tú ọ̀rọ̀ ọ òmùgọ̀ jáde.
3 The eyes of the Lord in euery place beholde the euill and the good.
Ojú Olúwa wà níbi gbogbo, Ó ń wo àwọn ẹni búburú àti àwọn ẹni rere.
4 A wholesome tongue is as a tree of life: but the frowardnes therof is the breaking of ye minde.
Ahọ́n tí ń mú ìtura wá jẹ́ igi ìyè ṣùgbọ́n ahọ́n ẹ̀tàn ń pa ẹ̀mí run.
5 A foole despiseth his fathers instruction: but he that regardeth correction, is prudent.
Aláìgbọ́n ọmọ kọ ìbáwí baba rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
6 The house of the righteous hath much treasure: but in the reuenues of the wicked is trouble.
Ilé olódodo kún fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ohun ìṣúra, ṣùgbọ́n èrè àwọn ènìyàn búburú ń mú ìyọnu wá fún wọn.
7 The lippes of the wise doe spread abroade knowledge: but ye heart of the foolish doth not so.
Ètè olódodo ń tan ìmọ̀ kalẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀ fún ọkàn aláìgbọ́n.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the righteous is acceptable vnto him.
Olúwa kórìíra ìrúbọ àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣùgbọ́n àdúrà olódodo tẹ́ ẹ lọ́rùn.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination vnto the Lord: but he loueth him that followeth righteousnes.
Olúwa kórìíra ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n ó fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ń lépa òdodo.
10 Instruction is euill to him that forsaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall die.
Ẹni tí ó kúrò lójú ọ̀nà yóò rí ìbáwí gan an, ẹni tí ó kórìíra ìbáwí yóò kú.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men? (Sheol h7585)
Ikú àti ìparun ṣí sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa, mélòó mélòó ní nínú ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn. (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loueth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he goe vnto the wise.
Ẹlẹ́gàn kò fẹ́ ẹni tí ń ba wí: kò ní gbàmọ̀ràn lọ́dọ̀ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
13 A ioyfull heart maketh a chearefull countenance: but by the sorow of the heart the minde is heauie.
Inú dídùn máa ń mú kí ojú túká ṣùgbọ́n ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn máa ń pa ẹ̀mí run.
14 The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of the foole is fedde with foolishnes.
Ọkàn olóye ń wá ìmọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu aláìgbọ́n ń fẹ́ ìwà òmùgọ̀ bí ẹní jẹun.
15 All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but a good conscience is a continuall feast.
Gbogbo ọjọ́ àwọn olùpọ́njú jẹ́ ibi, ṣùgbọ́n onínúdídùn ń jẹ àlàáfíà ní ìgbà gbogbo.
16 Better is a litle with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith.
Ó sàn kí ó má pọ̀, kí ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa sì wà ju ọrọ̀ púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìyọnu.
17 Better is a dinner of greene herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe and hatred therewith.
Oúnjẹ ewébẹ̀ níbi tí ìfẹ́ wà sàn ju àbọ́pa màlúù tòun ti ìríra.
18 An angrie man stirreth vp strife: but hee that is slowe to wrath, appeaseth strife.
Ènìyàn onínú ríru dá ìjà sílẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n onísùúrù paná ìjà.
19 The way of a slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the righteous is plaine.
Ọ̀nà ọ̀lẹ ni ẹ̀gún dí, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà olódodo já geerege ni.
20 A wise sonne reioyceth the father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ mú inú baba rẹ̀ dùn, ṣùgbọ́n aṣiwèrè ènìyàn kẹ́gàn ìyá rẹ̀.
21 Foolishnes is ioy to him that is destitute of vnderstanding: but a man of vnderstanding walketh vprightly.
Inú ènìyàn aláìlóye a máa dùn sí ìwà òmùgọ̀; ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn a máa rin ọ̀nà tààrà.
22 Without cousel thoughts come to nought: but in the multitude of counsellers there is stedfastnesse.
Ìgbèrò a máa dasán níbi tí kò sí ìmọ̀ràn; ṣùgbọ́n a máa yege níbi tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ olùbádámọ̀ràn wà.
23 A ioy commeth to a man by the answere of his mouth: and how good is a word in due season?
Inú ènìyàn a máa dùn nígbà tí ó bá fèsì tó yẹ ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó bá sì wá lásìkò tó yẹ dára púpọ̀!
Ọ̀nà ìyè ń lọ sókè fún ọlọ́gbọ́n láti sọ kí ó má bá à sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ipò òkú. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord will destroye the house of the proude men: but hee will stablish the borders of the widowe.
Olúwa fa ilé onígbèéraga ya lulẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó pa ààlà opó onírẹ̀lẹ̀ mọ́ láìyẹ̀.
26 The thoughts of ye wicked are abomination to the Lord: but the pure haue pleasant wordes.
Olúwa kórìíra èrò ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n mímọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ ẹni pípé.
27 He that is greedie of gaine, troubleth his owne house: but he that hateth giftes, shall liue.
Ọ̀kánjúwà ènìyàn mú ìyọnu bá ilé rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó kórìíra àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ yóò yè.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answere: but the wicked mans mouth babbleth euil thinges.
Ọkàn olódodo ń wọn ìdáhùn wò ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu ènìyàn búburú ń tú ibi jáde.
29 The Lord is farre off from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Olúwa jìnnà sí ènìyàn búburú ṣùgbọ́n ó ń gbọ́ àdúrà olódodo.
30 The light of the eyes reioyceth the heart, and a good name maketh the bones fat.
Ojú tó túká máa ń mú ayọ̀ wá fún ọkàn, ìròyìn ayọ̀ sì ń mú ìlera wá sínú egungun.
31 The eare that hearkeneth to the correction of life, shall lodge among the wise.
Ẹni tí ó fetí sí ìbáwí tí ń fún ni ní ìyè, yóò wà ní àpéjọpọ̀ àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n.
32 Hee that refuseth instruction, despiseth his owne soule: but he that obeyeth correction, getteth vnderstanding.
Ẹni tí ó kọ̀ ìbáwí kẹ́gàn ara rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí yóò ní ìmọ̀ sí i.
33 The feare of the Lord is the instruction of wisdome: and before honour, goeth humilitie.
Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa kọ́ ènìyàn ní ọgbọ́n, ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ sì ni ó máa ń ṣáájú ọlá.
