Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer, turneth away wrath, but a cutting word raiseth anger.
ὀργὴ ἀπόλλυσιν καὶ φρονίμους ἀπόκρισις δὲ ὑποπίπτουσα ἀποστρέφει θυμόν λόγος δὲ λυπηρὸς ἐγείρει ὀργάς
2 The tongue of the wise, adorneth knowledge, —but, the mouth of dullards, belcheth out folly.
γλῶσσα σοφῶν καλὰ ἐπίσταται στόμα δὲ ἀφρόνων ἀναγγελεῖ κακά
3 In every place, are the eyes of Yahweh, observing the evil and the good.
ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου σκοπεύουσιν κακούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς
4 Gentleness of the tongue, is a tree of life, but, crookedness therein, a grievous wound in the spirit.
ἴασις γλώσσης δένδρον ζωῆς ὁ δὲ συντηρῶν αὐτὴν πλησθήσεται πνεύματος
5 A foolish [son], spurneth the correction of his father, but, he that heedeth a reproof, sheweth prudence.
ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει παιδείαν πατρός ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐντολὰς πανουργότερος
6 The household of the righteous man, is a great treasure, but, in the increase of the lawless, is disturbance.
ἐν πλεοναζούσῃ δικαιοσύνῃ ἰσχὺς πολλή οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὁλόρριζοι ἐκ γῆς ὀλοῦνται οἴκοις δικαίων ἰσχὺς πολλή καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολοῦνται
7 The lips of the wise, scatter abroad knowledge, but, the heart of dullards, is not right.
χείλη σοφῶν δέδεται αἰσθήσει καρδίαι δὲ ἀφρόνων οὐκ ἀσφαλεῖς
8 The sacrifice of lawless men, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, the prayer of the upright, is his delight.
θυσίαι ἀσεβῶν βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ εὐχαὶ δὲ κατευθυνόντων δεκταὶ παρ’ αὐτῷ
9 An abomination to Yahweh, is the way of the lawless, but, the pursuer of righteousness, he loveth.
βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀσεβοῦς διώκοντας δὲ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾷ
10 There is, grievous correction, for him that forsaketh the right path, He that hateth rebuke, shall die.
παιδεία ἀκάκου γνωρίζεται ὑπὸ τῶν παριόντων οἱ δὲ μισοῦντες ἐλέγχους τελευτῶσιν αἰσχρῶς
11 Hades and destruction, are before Yahweh, how much more then, the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)
ᾅδης καὶ ἀπώλεια φανερὰ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ αἱ καρδίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων (Sheol h7585)
12 A scoffer, loveth not, one who reproveth him, unto the wise, doth he not go.
οὐκ ἀγαπήσει ἀπαίδευτος τοὺς ἐλέγχοντας αὐτόν μετὰ δὲ σοφῶν οὐχ ὁμιλήσει
13 A joyful heart, maketh a pleasing countenance, —but, in sorrow of heart, is a stricken spirit.
καρδίας εὐφραινομένης πρόσωπον θάλλει ἐν δὲ λύπαις οὔσης σκυθρωπάζει
14 The heart of the intelligent, seeketh knowledge, but, the mouth of dullards, feedeth on folly.
καρδία ὀρθὴ ζητεῖ αἴσθησιν στόμα δὲ ἀπαιδεύτων γνώσεται κακά
15 All the days of the afflicted, are sorrowful, but, a cheerful heart, is a continual banquet.
πάντα τὸν χρόνον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τῶν κακῶν προσδέχονται κακά οἱ δὲ ἀγαθοὶ ἡσυχάζουσιν διὰ παντός
16 Better is a little, with the reverence of Yahweh, than great treasure, and disquietude therewith.
κρείσσων μικρὰ μερὶς μετὰ φόβου κυρίου ἢ θησαυροὶ μεγάλοι μετὰ ἀφοβίας
17 Better is an allowance of herbs, and love, there, than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.
κρείσσων ξενισμὸς λαχάνων πρὸς φιλίαν καὶ χάριν ἢ παράθεσις μόσχων μετὰ ἔχθρας
18 A wrathful man, stirreth up strife, but, he that is slow to anger, calmeth contention.
ἀνὴρ θυμώδης παρασκευάζει μάχας μακρόθυμος δὲ καὶ τὴν μέλλουσαν καταπραΰνει μακρόθυμος ἀνὴρ κατασβέσει κρίσεις ὁ δὲ ἀσεβὴς ἐγείρει μᾶλλον
19 The way of the sluggard, is like a thorn hedge, but, the path of the upright, is a raised road.
ὁδοὶ ἀεργῶν ἐστρωμέναι ἀκάνθαις αἱ δὲ τῶν ἀνδρείων τετριμμέναι
20 A wise son, maketh a glad father, —but, a dullard, despiseth his own mother.
υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει μητέρα αὐτοῦ
21 Folly, is joy to him that lacketh sense, —but, a man of understanding, taketh a straight course.
ἀνοήτου τρίβοι ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος κατευθύνων πορεύεται
22 Plans, are frustrated, for lack of consultation, but, by the multitude of counsellors, shall counsel, be established.
ὑπερτίθενται λογισμοὺς οἱ μὴ τιμῶντες συνέδρια ἐν δὲ καρδίαις βουλευομένων μένει βουλή
23 A man hath joy, in the answer of his own mouth, and, a word in its season, —how good!
οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ ὁ κακὸς αὐτῇ οὐδὲ μὴ εἴπῃ καίριόν τι καὶ καλὸν τῷ κοινῷ
ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ (Sheol h7585)
25 The house of proud men, will Yahweh tear down, but he will maintain the boundary of the widow.
οἴκους ὑβριστῶν κατασπᾷ κύριος ἐστήρισεν δὲ ὅριον χήρας
26 An abomination to Yahweh, are the plottings of the wicked, but, with the pure, are sayings of sweetness.
βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ λογισμὸς ἄδικος ἁγνῶν δὲ ῥήσεις σεμναί
27 He, troubleth his own house, who graspeth with greed, but, he that hateth gifts, shall live.
ἐξόλλυσιν ἑαυτὸν ὁ δωρολήμπτης ὁ δὲ μισῶν δώρων λήμψεις σῴζεται ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι τῷ δὲ φόβῳ κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ
28 The heart of the righteous, studieth to answer, but, the mouth of the lawless, belcheth out mischiefs.
καρδίαι δικαίων μελετῶσιν πίστεις στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποκρίνεται κακά δεκταὶ παρὰ κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων δικαίων διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ φίλοι γίνονται
29 Far off is Yahweh, from the lawless, but, the prayer of the righteous, will he hear.
μακρὰν ἀπέχει ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ ἀσεβῶν εὐχαῖς δὲ δικαίων ἐπακούει κρείσσων ὀλίγη λῆμψις μετὰ δικαιοσύνης ἢ πολλὰ γενήματα μετὰ ἀδικίας καρδία ἀνδρὸς λογιζέσθω δίκαια ἵνα ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ διορθωθῇ τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ
30 The sparkling of bright eyes, rejoiceth the heart, Good news, giveth marrow to the bones.
θεωρῶν ὀφθαλμὸς καλὰ εὐφραίνει καρδίαν φήμη δὲ ἀγαθὴ πιαίνει ὀστᾶ
31 The ear that heareth the reproof which giveth life, in the midst of the wise, shall remain.
32 He that declineth correction, despiseth his own soul, but, he that heareth reproof, gaineth sense.
ὃς ἀπωθεῖται παιδείαν μισεῖ ἑαυτόν ὁ δὲ τηρῶν ἐλέγχους ἀγαπᾷ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ
33 The reverence of Yahweh, is the correction of wisdom, and, before honour, is humility.
φόβος θεοῦ παιδεία καὶ σοφία καὶ ἀρχὴ δόξης ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτῇ
