Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Eyano ya kimia ekimisaka kanda, kasi maloba oyo ezokisaka ebakisaka kanda.
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
Lolemo ya moto ya bwanya ekomisaka boyebi elengi, kasi monoko ya bato oyo bazangi mayele ebimisaka bozoba.
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Miso na Yawe ezalaka bisika nyonso mpo na kotala bato mabe mpe bato ya malamu.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Maloba ya kimia ezali lokola nzete ya bomoi, kasi maloba ya botomboki ezokisaka motema.
5 A fool despises his father's instruction: but he that regards reproof is prudent.
Moto oyo azangi mayele atiolaka mateya ya tata na ye, kasi moto oyo andimaka pamela akokoma mayele.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
Ezalaka na bomengo ebele kati na ndako ya moyengebene, kasi lifuti ya moto mabe ememaka pasi.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish does not so.
Bibebu ya moto ya bwanya esopaka boyebi, kasi ezali bongo te na motema ya zoba.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Mbeka ya moto mabe ezalaka nkele na miso ya Yawe, kasi libondeli ya moto ya sembo esepelisaka Ye.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loves him that follows after righteousness.
Nzela ya moto mabe ezalaka nkele na miso ya Yawe, kasi alingaka moto oyo alandaka nzela ya sembo.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsakes the way: and he that hates reproof shall die.
Moto oyo abimaka libanda ya nzela ya sembo akozwa pamela ya makasi; moto oyo aboyaka pamela akokufa.
11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
Ndenge mboka ya bakufi mpe mokili ya mozindo ezali penza polele liboso ya Yawe, ndenge wana mpe mitema ya bana ya bato ezali polele liboso na Ye. (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loves not one that reproves him: neither will he go unto the wise.
Moto ya moto makasi alingaka te moto oyo apamelaka ye, yango wana akendaka te epai ya bato ya bwanya.
13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Motema ya esengo engengisaka elongi, kasi motema ya mawa elembisaka molimo.
14 The heart of him that has understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
Motema ya moto ya mayele elukaka boyebi, kasi monoko ya zoba ebimisaka kaka bozoba.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
Mikolo nyonso ezalaka mabe mpo na moto oyo azali na pasi, kasi bomoi ya moto oyo azali na esengo ezalaka tango nyonso na feti.
16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Kozala na eloko moko kati na kotosa Yawe ezali malamu koleka kozala na bomengo mingi kati na komitungisa.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Kolia ndunda kati na bolingo ezali malamu koleka kolia ngombe ya mafuta kati na koyina.
18 A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeases strife.
Moto oyo atombokaka noki ayeisaka koswana, kasi moto oyo akangaka motema akitisaka koswana.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
Nzela ya moto ya goyigoyi ezalaka lokola banzela mike ya banzube, kasi nzela ya bato ya sembo ezalaka ya kosembolama.
20 A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish man despises his mother.
Mwana ya bwanya asepelisaka tata na ye, kasi moto oyo azangi mayele atiolaka mama na ye.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
Bozoba esepelisaka moto oyo azangi mayele, kasi moto ya mayele atambolaka alima na nzela na ye.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
Mabongisi ekokisamaka te soki bato basangani te mpo na kopesa mayele, kasi ekokisamaka malamu soki bapesi toli bazali ebele.
23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Kozongisa eyano ya malamu epesaka moto esengo, mpe liloba oyo elobami na tango oyo ekoki ezalaka kitoko.
Nzela ya bomoi ememaka moto ya bwanya na likolo, mpo na kobatela ye ete akita na mboka ya bakufi te. (Sheol h7585)
25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
Yawe abukaka ndako ya moto ya lolendo, kasi alendisaka libula ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
Makanisi ya moto mabe ezalaka nkele na miso ya Yawe, kasi maloba ya malamu ezalaka peto na miso na Ye.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubles his own house; but he that hates gifts shall live.
Moto oyo alukaka litomba na nzela ya sembo te amemaka mitungisi na libota na ye, kasi moto oyo aboyaka kanyaka akozala na bomoi.
28 The heart of the righteous studies to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
Motema ya moyengebene ekanisaka liboso ya kopesa eyano, kasi monoko ya moto mabe ebimisaka maloba ya mabe.
29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Yawe azalaka mosika ya bato mabe, kasi ayokaka libondeli ya bayengebene.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones fat.
Eloko oyo esepelisaka miso esepelisaka mpe motema; sango malamu elendisaka mikuwa.
31 The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise.
Moto oyo ayokaka pamela oyo epesaka bomoi avandaka kati na bato ya bwanya.
32 He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.
Moto oyo asundolaka koyekola atiolaka nde bomoi na ye moko, kasi moto oyo andimaka pamela akomaka mayele.
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Kotosa Yawe ezali eteyelo ya bwanya; komikitisa eyaka liboso ya nkembo.
