Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.
Mampitolike habosehañe ty rehake malea, fe mitrobo haviñerañe ty volam-peha’e.
2 The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.
Mitolon-kilala an-katò ty famele’ i mahihitse, fe mipororoake hagegeañe ty vava’ i dagola.
3 In every place are the eyes of Jehovah, Watching the evil and the good.
Manitsike ze hene toetse o fihaino’ Iehovào, misary ty raty naho ty soa.
4 A healed tongue [is] a tree of life, And perverseness in it — a breach in the spirit.
Hataen-kaveloñe ty fameleke mamere, fe mampikoritoke troke naho ama’e ty hamengohañe.
5 A fool despiseth the instruction of his father, And whoso is regarding reproof is prudent.
mañìnje ty fañòhan-drae’e ty dagola, fe mahilala ty mañaoñ’ anatse.
6 [In] the house of the righteous [is] abundant strength, And in the increase of the wicked — trouble.
Vara bey ty añ’anjomba’ o vañoñeo, fe manolo-tsotry ty tombom-baro’ i lahiaga.
7 The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools [is] not right.
Mampiboele hilala ty fivimbi’ o mahihitseo; fe tsy izay ty tro’ i dagola.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright [is] His delight.
Veta am’ Iehovà ty fisoroña’ o lo-tserekeo, fe ifalea’e ty halali’ o vantañeo.
9 An abomination to Jehovah [is] the way of the wicked, And whoso is pursuing righteousness He loveth.
Tiva am’ Iehovà ty taro’ i lahiaga, fe kokoa’e ty mañean-kavantañañe.
10 Chastisement [is] grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoso is hating reproof dieth.
Mampalovilovy ty mandrìke amy lalañey te lafaeñe, mikoromake ty malaiñ’ endake.
11 Sheol and destruction [are] before Jehovah, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)
Mivañavaña añatrefa’ Iehovà ty tanen-dolo naho i tsikeokeoke, sandrake ty arofo’ ondaty! (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loveth not his reprover, Unto the wise he goeth not.
Tsy kokoa’ ty mpanivetive te ereteñe; tsy tilihe’e ty mahihitse.
13 A joyful heart maketh glad the face, And by grief of heart is the spirit smitten.
Mampaviake vintañe ty arofo misomobotsòboke, fe mahafola-paiañe ty troke ngoma.
14 The heart of the intelligent seeketh knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoyeth folly.
Mpitsoeke hilala ty troke maharendreke, fe mampibotseke hagegeañe ty vava’ i dagola.
15 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil, And gladness of heart [is] a perpetual banquet.
Fonga mavoiñe ty andro’ o misotrio, fe mitolon-tsabadidake ty arofo minembanembañe.
16 Better [is] a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.
Hàmake ty kedeke mitrao-pañeveñañe am’ Iehovà, ta ty vara-bey reketse hekoheko.
17 Better [is] an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.
Kitra’e anjotsoañe añañe am-pikokoañe, ta te anozoañe temboay vinondrake am-palaiñañe.
18 A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Mitrobo hotakotake ty mpiloa-tiñake, fe mampipendreñe fifandierañe ty malaon-kaviñerañe.
19 The way of the slothful [is] as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.
Iremberembeam-patike te añ’oloñolo’ i votro, fe dinamoke ty lala’ i vañoñey.
20 A wise son rejoiceth a father. And a foolish man is despising his mother.
Mahafale an-drae ty anake mahihitse, fe mañìnje rene t’indaty gege.
21 Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directeth [his] going.
Hagegeañe ty mahaehake i seretse, fe vantan-dia t’indaty mahilala.
22 Without counsel [is] the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.
Milesa ty safiry po-panolo-kevetse, fe mahaeneke te maro mpanoro.
23 Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season — how good!
Mahafale ondaty te mahafanoiñe ty falie’e, akore ty hasoa’ ty saontsy tandrife.
Mañambone ty lala’ o mahihitseo, iholiara’e i tsikeokeoke ambane ao. (Sheol h7585)
25 The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.
Hombota’ Iehovà ty akiba’ o mpirengevokeo, fe ajado’e ty efe-tane’ i vantotsey.
26 An abomination to Jehovah [are] thoughts of wickedness, And pure [are] sayings of pleasantness.
Tiva am’ Iehovà o fikitrofañeo, fe hiringiry ty saontsy mampanintsy.
27 A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.
Manolo-tsotry ty akiba’e ty mamory an-katramo, fe ho veloñe ty malaim-bokàñe.
28 The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.
Mañereñere ty hanoiña’e ty arofo’ i vantañey, fe mampipororoake haratiañe ty falie’ i lahiaga.
29 Far [is] Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.
Lavitse o raty tserekeo t’Iehovà, fe janji’e ty halali’ o vañoñeo.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.
Mahafale arofo ty fihaino miloeloe, vaho solik’ an-taolañe ty talily soa.
31 An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Doth lodge among the wise.
Amo mahihitseo ty himoneña’ ty aman-dravembia mitsendreñe anatse mahaveloñe.
32 Whoso is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoso is hearing reproof Is getting understanding.
Mañìnje ty vata’e ty malaiñ’ endake, fe manonton-kilala ty mitsatsike fanoroañe.
33 The fear of Jehovah [is] the instruction of wisdom, And before honour [is] humility!
Fañòhañe hihitse ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà, miaolo ty asiñe te mireke.
