Proverbs 15
1 A soft answere brekith ire; an hard word reisith woodnesse.
Mmuaeɛ pa dwodwo abufuo, nanso asɛm a ano yɛ den hwanyane abufuo mu.
2 The tunge of wise men ourneth kunnyng; the mouth of foolis buylith out foli.
Onyansafoɔ tɛkrɛma yi nimdeɛ ayɛ, nanso ɔkwasea ano woro agyimisɛm.
3 In ech place the iyen of the Lord biholden good men, and yuel men.
Awurade ani hunu baabiara, na ɛhwɛ amumuyɛfoɔ ne apapafoɔ.
4 A plesaunt tunge is the tre of lijf; but the tunge which is vnmesurable, schal defoule the spirit.
Tɛkrɛma a ɛde abodwoɔ ba yɛ nkwa dua, nanso nnaadaa tɛkrɛma dwerɛ honhom.
5 A fool scorneth the techyng of his fadir; but he that kepith blamyngis, schal be maad wisere. Moost vertu schal be in plenteuouse riytfulnesse; but the thouytis of wickid men schulen be drawun vp bi the roote.
Ɔkwasea mmfa nʼagya ntenesoɔ nyɛ hwee, na deɛ ɔtie ntenesoɔ no kyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔnitefoɔ.
6 The hous of a iust man is moost strengthe; and disturbling is in the fruitis of a wickid man.
Ahonya bebree wɔ ɔteneneeni fie, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ adenya de ɔhaw brɛ wɔn.
7 The lippis of wise men schulen sowe abrood kunnyng; the herte of foolis schal be vnlijc.
Anyansafoɔ ano trɛtrɛ nimdeɛ mu; nanso ɛnyɛ saa na nkwaseafoɔ akoma teɛ.
8 The sacrifices of wickyd men ben abhomynable to the Lord; avowis of iust men ben plesaunt.
Awurade kyiri amumuyɛfoɔ afɔrebɔ, nanso teefoɔ mpaeɛbɔ sɔ nʼani.
9 The lijf of the vnpitouse man is abhomynacioun to the Lord; he that sueth riytfulnesse, schal be loued of the Lord.
Awurade kyiri amumuyɛfoɔ akwan, nanso ɔdɔ wɔn a wɔti tenenee.
10 Yuel teching is of men forsakinge the weie of lijf; he that hatith blamyngis, schal die.
Asotwe denden wɔ hɔ ma dea ɔmane firi ɛkwan no so, deɛ ɔtane ntenesoɔ no bɛwu.
11 Helle and perdicioun ben open bifor the Lord; hou myche more the hertis of sones of men. (Sheol h7585)
Owuo ne Ɔsɛeɛ da Awurade anim, na nnipa akoma mu deɛ, ɔnim ma ɛboro so. (Sheol h7585)
12 A man ful of pestilence loueth not hym that repreueth him; and he goith not to wyse men.
Ɔfɛdifoɔ mpɛ ntenesoɔ; ɔnnkɔbisa anyansafoɔ hwee.
13 A ioiful herte makith glad the face; the spirit is cast doun in the morenyng of soule.
Anigyeɛ akoma ma anim yɛ seresere, na akoma a abotoɔ dwerɛ honhom.
14 The herte of a wijs man sekith techyng; and the mouth of foolis is fed with vnkunnyng.
Nhunumufoɔ akoma hwehwɛ nimdeɛ, nanso ɔkwasea ano ka agyimisɛm.
15 Alle the daies of a pore man ben yuele; a sikir soule is a contynuel feeste.
Wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nna nyinaa yɛ mmɔbɔmmɔbɔ, nanso anigyeɛ akoma wɔ daa ahosɛpɛ mu.
16 Betere is a litil with the drede of the Lord, than many tresouris and vnfillable.
Ketewa bi a yɛnya a Awurade suro ka ho no yɛ sene ahonyadeɛ bebree a ɔhaw bata ho.
17 It is betere to be clepid to wortis with charite, than with hatrede to a calf maad fat.
Nhahamma aduane a ɔdɔ wɔ mu no yɛ sene nantwie sradenam a ɔtan bata ho.
18 A wrathful man reisith chidyngis; he that is pacient, swagith chidyngis reisid.
Deɛ ne bo fu ntɛm de mpaapaemu ba, nanso deɛ ɔwɔ ntoboaseɛ pata ntɔkwa.
19 The weie of slow men is an hegge of thornes; the weie of iust men is with out hirtyng.
Nkasɛɛ ama onihafoɔ kwan asi, nanso teneneefoɔ kwan yɛ tempɔn.
20 A wise sone makith glad the fadir; and a fonned man dispisith his modir.
Ɔba nyansafoɔ ma nʼagya ani gye nanso ɔba kwasea bu ne maame animtiaa.
21 Foli is ioye to a fool; and a prudent man schal dresse hise steppis.
Agyimisɛm ma deɛ ɔnni adwene ani gye, nanso deɛ ɔwɔ nteaseɛ no fa ɛkwan a ɛtene so.
22 Thouytis ben distried, where no counsel is; but where many counseleris ben, tho ben confermyd.
Nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛnni afotuo no sɛe, nanso afotufoɔ bebree ma ɛyɛ yie.
23 A man is glad in the sentence of his mouth; and a couenable word is best.
Onipa a ɔma mmuaeɛ a ɛfata no ani gye, asɛm a ɛba berɛ pa mu no nso yɛ.
Onyansafoɔ asetena mu kwan ma no nkɔsoɔ ɛsi ne da mu korɔ ho ɛkwan. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord schal distrie the hows of proude men; and he schal make stidefast the coostis of a widewe.
Awurade sɛe ɔhantanni fie na ɔma akunafoɔ ahyeɛ yɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ.
26 Iuele thouytis is abhomynacioun of the Lord; and a cleene word moost fair schal be maad stidfast of hym.
Awurade kyiri amumuyɛfoɔ nsusuiɛ, nanso nʼani sɔ wɔn a wɔyɛ kronn no deɛ.
27 He that sueth aueryce, disturblith his hous; but he that hatith yiftis schal lyue. Synnes ben purgid bi merci and feith; ech man bowith awei fro yuel bi the drede of the Lord.
Ɔdufudepɛfoɔ de ɔhaw brɛ nʼabusua, nanso deɛ ɔkyiri kɛtɛasehyɛ no bɛnya nkwa.
28 The soule of a iust man bithenkith obedience; the mouth of wickid men is ful of yuelis.
Ɔteneneeni akoma kari ne mmuaeɛ, nanso omumuyɛfoɔ ano woro bɔne.
29 The Lord is fer fro wickid men; and he schal here the preyers of iust men.
Awurade mmɛn amumuyɛfoɔ koraa nanso ɔte ɔteneneeni mpaeɛbɔ.
30 The liyt of iyen makith glad the soule; good fame makith fat the boonys.
Animu a ɛteɛ ma akoma nya ahomeka, na asɛm pa ma nnompe ahoɔden.
31 The eere that herith the blamyngis of lijf, schal dwelle in the myddis of wise men.
Deɛ ɔtie animka a ɛma nkwa no ne anyansafoɔ bɛbɔ mu atena ase.
32 He that castith awei chastisyng, dispisith his soule; but he that assentith to blamyngis, is pesible holdere of the herte.
Deɛ ɔmfa ahohyɛsoɔ no bu ne ho animtiaa, na deɛ ɔtie ntenesoɔ no nya nhunumu.
33 The drede of the Lord is teching of wisdom; and mekenesse goith bifore glorie.
Awurade suro kyerɛ onipa nyansa, ahobrɛaseɛ di animuonyam anim.
