Proverbs 15
1 A SOFT answer turneth away wrath: 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 uttereth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
Ny lelan’ ny hendry mampiseho fahalalana tsara; Fa ny vavan’ ny adala miboiboika fahadalana.
3 The eyes of the LORD 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 wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness 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 correction: but he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.
Ny adala maniratsira ny famaizan-drainy; Fa izay mitandrina ny fananarana no hita ho hendry.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked 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 [doeth] 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 the LORD: 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 the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth 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 that forsaketh the way: [and] he that hateth reproof shall die.
Famaizana mafy no hihatra amin’ izay mivily lalana. Eny, izay mankahala anatra dia ho faty.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD: 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 to be reproved: he will not go unto the wise.
Tsy tian’ ny mpaniratsira izay mananatra azy, Ary tsy mety manatona ny hendry izy.
13 A merry 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 him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools 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 he that is of a cheerful heart [hath] a continual feast.
Ratsy avokoa ny andron’ ny ory; Fa ny faharavoravoam-po dia fanasana mandrakariva.
16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble therewith.
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 stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Aleo sakafo anana ampian-tsetsetra Toy izay omby mifahy asian-dromoromo.
18 A wrathful 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 an hedge of thorns: but the path of the upright is made an highway.
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 wisdom: but a man of understanding maketh straight his going.
Ny fahadalana dia fifalian’ ny tsy ampy saina; Fa ny manan-tsaina kosa mizotra mahitsy
22 Where there is no 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 in the answer of his mouth: and a word in due 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 The LORD 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 the LORD: but pleasant words [are] pure.
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 the righteous 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 The LORD 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 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: [and] good tidings make the bones fat.
Ny tarehy miramirana mahafaly ny fo; Ary ny filazan-tsoa mamelombelona ny taolana.
31 The ear that hearkeneth to 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 correction despiseth his own soul: but he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
Izay mandà anatra dia manary tena; Fa izay mihaino ny fananarana no mahazo fahalalana.
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour [goeth] humility.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah dia fananarana mampahahendry; Ary ny fanetren-tena mialoha ny fisandratana.
