Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Ìdáhùn pẹ̀lẹ́ yí ìbínú padà ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ líle máa ń ru ìbínú sókè.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
Ahọ́n ọlọ́gbọ́n a máa gbé ìmọ̀ jáde ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu aláìgbọ́n ń tú ọ̀rọ̀ ọ òmùgọ̀ jáde.
3 The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Ojú Olúwa wà níbi gbogbo, Ó ń wo àwọn ẹni búburú àti àwọn ẹni rere.
4 A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness in it [is] a breach in the spirit.
Ahọ́n tí ń mú ìtura wá jẹ́ igi ìyè ṣùgbọ́n ahọ́n ẹ̀tàn ń pa ẹ̀mí run.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
Aláìgbọ́n ọmọ kọ ìbáwí baba rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
6 In the house of the righteous [is] much treasure: but in the revenues 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 lips of the wise diffuse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish [doeth] not so.
Ètè olódodo ń tan ìmọ̀ kalẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n kò rí bẹ́ẹ̀ fún ọkàn aláìgbọ́n.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight.
Olúwa kórìíra ìrúbọ àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣùgbọ́n àdúrà olódodo tẹ́ ẹ lọ́rùn.
9 The way of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD; but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Olúwa kórìíra ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n ó fẹ́ràn àwọn tí ń lépa òdodo.
10 Correction [is] grievous to him that forsaketh the way: [and] he that hateth reproof 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 then the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
Ikú àti ìparun ṣí sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa, mélòó mélòó ní nínú ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn. (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go to the wise.
Ẹlẹ́gàn kò fẹ́ ẹni tí ń ba wí: kò ní gbàmọ̀ràn lọ́dọ̀ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Inú dídùn máa ń mú kí ojú túká ṣùgbọ́n ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn máa ń pa ẹ̀mí run.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Ọkàn olóye ń wá ìmọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu aláìgbọ́n ń fẹ́ ìwà òmùgọ̀ bí ẹní jẹun.
15 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil: but he that is of a merry heart [hath] a continual feast.
Gbogbo ọjọ́ àwọn olùpọ́njú jẹ́ ibi, ṣùgbọ́n onínúdídùn ń jẹ àlàáfíà ní ìgbà gbogbo.
16 Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble with it.
Ó sàn kí ó má pọ̀, kí ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa sì wà ju ọrọ̀ púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìyọnu.
17 Better [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.
Oúnjẹ ewébẹ̀ níbi tí ìfẹ́ wà sàn ju àbọ́pa màlúù tòun ti ìríra.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but [he that is] slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Ènìyàn onínú ríru dá ìjà sílẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n onísùúrù paná ìjà.
19 The way of the slothful [man is] as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain.
Ọ̀nà ọ̀lẹ ni ẹ̀gún dí, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà olódodo já geerege ni.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Ọlọ́gbọ́n ọmọ mú inú baba rẹ̀ dùn, ṣùgbọ́n aṣiwèrè ènìyàn kẹ́gàn ìyá rẹ̀.
21 Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Inú ènìyàn aláìlóye a máa dùn sí ìwà òmùgọ̀; ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn a máa rin ọ̀nà tààrà.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Ìgbèrò a máa dasán níbi tí kò sí ìmọ̀ràn; ṣùgbọ́n a máa yege níbi tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ olùbádámọ̀ràn wà.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [it is]!
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 destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
Olúwa fa ilé onígbèéraga ya lulẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó pa ààlà opó onírẹ̀lẹ̀ mọ́ láìyẹ̀.
26 The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD: but [the words] of the pure [are] pleasant words.
Olúwa kórìíra èrò ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n mímọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ ẹni pípé.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
Ọ̀kánjúwà ènìyàn mú ìyọnu bá ilé rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó kórìíra àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ yóò yè.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Ọkàn olódodo ń wọn ìdáhùn wò ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu ènìyàn búburú ń tú ibi jáde.
29 The LORD [is] far 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 rejoiceth the heart; [and] a good report 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 ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
Ẹni tí ó fetí sí ìbáwí tí ń fún ni ní ìyè, yóò wà ní àpéjọpọ̀ àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
Ẹni tí ó kọ̀ ìbáwí kẹ́gàn ara rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ìbáwí yóò ní ìmọ̀ sí i.
33 The fear of the LORD [is] the instruction of wisdom: and before honor is humility.
Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa kọ́ ènìyàn ní ọgbọ́n, ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ sì ni ó máa ń ṣáájú ọlá.
