Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath; But harsh words stir up anger.
Eyano ya kimia ekimisaka kanda, kasi maloba oyo ezokisaka ebakisaka kanda.
2 The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge pleasing; But the mouth of fools poureth forth folly.
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; They behold the evil and the good.
Miso na Yawe ezalaka bisika nyonso mpo na kotala bato mabe mpe bato ya malamu.
4 A mild tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a wound in the spirit.
Maloba ya kimia ezali lokola nzete ya bomoi, kasi maloba ya botomboki ezokisaka motema.
5 The fool despiseth the correction of his father; But he that regardeth 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 wealth; But in the revenues of the wicked there is trouble.
Ezalaka na bomengo ebele kati na ndako ya moyengebene, kasi lifuti ya moto mabe ememaka pasi.
7 The lips of the wise spread abroad knowledge; But the heart of the foolish is not sound.
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 righteous 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 to the LORD; But him who followeth after righteousness he loveth.
Nzela ya moto mabe ezalaka nkele na miso ya Yawe, kasi alingaka moto oyo alandaka nzela ya sembo.
10 Sore chastisement shall be to him that forsaketh the way; He that hateth reproof shall die.
Moto oyo abimaka libanda ya nzela ya sembo akozwa pamela ya makasi; moto oyo aboyaka pamela akokufa.
11 The underworld, yea, the region of death, is before the LORD; How much more the hearts of the sons 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 The scoffer loveth not his reprover; He will not resort to the wise.
Moto ya moto makasi alingaka te moto oyo apamelaka ye, yango wana akendaka te epai ya bato ya bwanya.
13 A joyous heart maketh a bright 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 the man of understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
Motema ya moto ya mayele elukaka boyebi, kasi monoko ya zoba ebimisaka kaka bozoba.
15 The days of the afflicted are all evil; But he that hath a cheerful heart hath 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 a little, with the fear of the LORD, Than much 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 there is love, Than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.
Kolia ndunda kati na bolingo ezali malamu koleka kolia ngombe ya mafuta kati na koyina.
18 The passionate man stirreth up strife; But he who is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Moto oyo atombokaka noki ayeisaka koswana, kasi moto oyo akangaka motema akitisaka koswana.
19 The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; But the way of the righteous is a highway.
Nzela ya moto ya goyigoyi ezalaka lokola banzela mike ya banzube, kasi nzela ya bato ya sembo ezalaka ya kosembolama.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Mwana ya bwanya asepelisaka tata na ye, kasi moto oyo azangi mayele atiolaka mama na ye.
21 Folly is joy to him who lacketh wisdom; But the man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Bozoba esepelisaka moto oyo azangi mayele, kasi moto ya mayele atambolaka alima na nzela na ye.
22 Without counsel, plans come to nought; But with a 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 hath joy by the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good it is!
Kozongisa eyano ya malamu epesaka moto esengo, mpe liloba oyo elobami na tango oyo ekoki ezalaka kitoko.
24 The path of life is upward for the wise, So that he turneth away from the underworld beneath. (Sheol h7585)
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 destroyeth 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 Evil devices are an abomination to the LORD; But pleasant words are pure.
Makanisi ya moto mabe ezalaka nkele na miso ya Yawe, kasi maloba ya malamu ezalaka peto na miso na Ye.
27 He who is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he who hateth bribes 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 meditateth on his answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth 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 heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Yawe azalaka mosika ya bato mabe, kasi ayokaka libondeli ya bayengebene.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, And good tidings make the bones fat.
Eloko oyo esepelisaka miso esepelisaka mpe motema; sango malamu elendisaka mikuwa.
31 The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall dwell among the wise.
Moto oyo ayokaka pamela oyo epesaka bomoi avandaka kati na bato ya bwanya.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own life; But he that hearkeneth to rebuke getteth understanding.
Moto oyo asundolaka koyekola atiolaka nde bomoi na ye moko, kasi moto oyo andimaka pamela akomaka mayele.
33 The fear of the LORD guideth to wisdom, And before honor is humility.
Kotosa Yawe ezali eteyelo ya bwanya; komikitisa eyaka liboso ya nkembo.
