Salamana Pamācības 15
1 Lēna atbilde klusina bardzību, bet rūgta valoda ceļ dusmas.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a grievous word stirs up anger.
2 Gudra mēle dara mācību mīlīgu, bet ģeķu mute izverd ģeķību.
The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.
3 Tā Kunga acis ir visās malās un ņem vērā ļaunus un labus.
The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
4 Mēle, kas mierina, ir dzīvības koks, bet netikla lauž sirdi.
A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit.
5 Ģeķis smejas par sava tēva pamācīšanu, bet kas mācību pieņem, pieaugs gudrībā.
A fool despises his father's correction, but he who regards reproof gets prudence.
6 Taisna namā ir liela svētība, bet pie bezdievīga ienākuma posts.
In the house of a righteous man is much treasure, but in the revenues of a wicked man is trouble.
7 Gudro lūpas sēj atzīšanu, bet ģeķu sirds tāda vis nav.

10 Grūta pārmācīšana būs tam, kas no ceļa atstājās; kas pamācīšanu ienīst, tas nomirs.
There is grievous correction for him who forsakes the way. He who hates reproof shall die.
11 Elle un viņas bezdibenis ir Tā Kunga priekšā, vai tad ne jo vairāk cilvēku bērnu sirdis! (Sheol h7585)
Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah. How much more then the hearts of the sons of men! (Sheol h7585)
12 Mēdītājs nemīl to, kas viņu pamāca, viņš nemetās pie gudriem.
A scoffer does not like to be reproved. He will not go to the wise.
13 Priecīga sirds dara vaigu priecīgu, bet sirdēsti nospiež garu.
A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
14 Prātīga vīra sirds meklē atzīšanu, bet ģeķu vaigs ganās ģeķībā.

All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 Labāk ir mazumiņš ar Tā Kunga bijāšanu, nekā liela manta, kur raizes klāt.
Better is little with the fear of Jehovah, than great treasure and trouble with it.
17 Kāpostu virums ar mīlestību ir labāks, nekā barots vērsis ar naidu.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred with it.
18 Sirdīgs(dusmīgs) vīrs ceļ ķildu, bet lēnprātīgais klusina bāršanos.

Where there is no counsel, plans are disappointed, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23 Vīrs priecājās par savas mutes atbildi, un vārds īstenā laikā, cik tas labs!
A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!
To the wise man the way of life is upward, that he may depart from Sheol beneath. (Sheol h7585)
25 Lepniem Tas Kungs namu noposta, bet uztaisa atraitnes ežas.

30 Spožas acis iepriecina sirdi; laba vēsts stiprina kaulus.
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news make the bones fat.

The ear that hearkens to the reproof of life shall abide among the wise.
32 Kas mācību atmet, tas zaudē dvēseli; bet kas mācībai klausa, ņemas gudrībā.
He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who hearkens to reproof gets understanding.
33 Tā Kunga bijāšana ir pamācīšana uz gudrību, un pazemība ved godā.
The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility.
