Proverbs 15
1 By a soft answer wrath is turned away, but a bitter word is a cause of angry feelings.
Ny famaliana mora dia mampianina ny fahatezerana mafy; Fa ny teny maharary mahatonga fahasosorana.
2 Knowledge is dropping from the tongue of the wise; but from the mouth of the foolish comes a stream of foolish words.
Ny lelan’ ny hendry mampiseho fahalalana tsara; Fa ny vavan’ ny adala miboiboika fahadalana.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Ny mason’ i Jehovah amin’ izao rehetra izao, Mijery ny ratsy fanahy sy ny tsara fanahy.
4 A comforting tongue is a tree of life, but a twisted tongue is a crushing of the spirit.
Ny teny malemy dia hazon’ aina; Fa ny vava ratsy mandratra ny fanahy.
5 A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense.
Ny adala maniratsira ny famaizan-drainy; Fa izay mitandrina ny fananarana no hita ho hendry.
6 In the house of the upright man there is a great store of wealth; but in the profits of the sinner there is trouble.
Ao an-tranon’ ny marina misy harena be; Fa ny fitomboan’ ny haren’ ny ratsy fanahy dia misy loza.
7 The lips of the wise keep knowledge, but the heart of the foolish man is not right.
Ny molotry ny hendry mampiely fahendrena; Fa tsy mba toy izany ny fon’ ny adala.
8 The offering of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright man is his delight.
Ny fanatitry ny ratsy fanahy dia fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah; Fa ny fivavaky ny marina no sitrany.
9 The way of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but he who goes after righteousness is dear to him.
Fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah ny lalan’ ny ratsy fanahy; Fa izay fatra-panaraka ny fahamarinana no tiany.
10 There is bitter punishment for him who is turned from the way; and death will be the fate of the hater of teaching.
Famaizana mafy no hihatra amin’ izay mivily lalana. Eny, izay mankahala anatra dia ho faty.
11 Before the Lord are the underworld and destruction: how much more, then, the hearts of the children of men! (Sheol h7585)
Ny fiainan-tsi-hita sy ny fandringanana aza dia miharihary eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Koa mainka ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona! (Sheol h7585)
12 The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise.
Tsy tian’ ny mpaniratsira izay mananatra azy, Ary tsy mety manatona ny hendry izy.
13 A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Ny fo ravoravo mahamiramirana ny tarehy; Fa ny alahelon’ ny fo mahareraka ny fanahy.
14 The heart of the man of good sense goes in search of knowledge, but foolish things are the food of the unwise.
Ny fon’ ny manan-tsaina mitady fahendrena; Fa ny vavan’ ny adala mankamamy ny fahadalana.
15 All the days of the troubled are evil; but he whose heart is glad has an unending feast.
Ratsy avokoa ny andron’ ny ory; Fa ny faharavoravoam-po dia fanasana mandrakariva.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.
Aleo ny kely misy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah Toy izay harena be misy ahiahy.
17 Better is a simple meal where love is, than a fat ox and hate with it.
Aleo sakafo anana ampian-tsetsetra Toy izay omby mifahy asian-dromoromo.
18 An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.
Izay malaky tezitra manetsika ady; Fa izay mahatsindry fo mampitsahatra fifandirana.
19 Thorns are round the way of the hater of work; but the road of the hard worker becomes a highway.
Ny lalan’ ny malaina dia toy ny fefy tsilo Fa ny lalamben’ ny marina dia voalamina tsara.
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man has no respect for his mother.
Ny zanaka hendry mahafaly ny rainy; Fa ny adala manao tsinontsinona an-dreniny.
21 Foolish behaviour is joy to the unwise; but a man of good sense makes his way straight.
Ny fahadalana dia fifalian’ ny tsy ampy saina; Fa ny manan-tsaina kosa mizotra mahitsy
22 Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.
Ho foana ny fikasana, raha tsy misy mpisaina; Fa raha maro ny mpanolo-tsaina, dia tanteraka izany.
23 A man has joy in the answer of his mouth: and a word at the right time, how good it is!
Faly ny olona, raha mahavaly tsara ny vavany, Ary endrey ny hatsaran’ ny teny atao amin’ izay andro mahamety azy!
Làlan’ aina ho any ambony no alehan’ ny hendry, Hanalavirany ny fiainan-tsi-hita any ambany, (Sheol h7585)
25 The house of the man of pride will be uprooted by the Lord, but he will make safe the heritage of the widow.
Ravan’ i Jehovah ny tranon’ ny mpiavonavona; Fa ny fari-tanin’ ny mpitondra-tena aoriny mafy.
26 Evil designs are disgusting to the Lord, but the words of the clean-hearted are pleasing.
Fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah ny hevi-dratsy; Fa madio ny teny mahafinaritra.
27 He whose desires are fixed on profit is a cause of trouble to his family; but he who has no desire for offerings will have life.
Izay fatra-pila harena dia mampidi-doza amin’ ny ankohonany; Fa izay mankahala kolikoly no ho velona.
28 The heart of the upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes a stream of evil things.
Ny fon’ ny marina mihevitra vao mamaly; Fa ny vavan’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa miboiboika faharatsiana.
29 The Lord is far from sinners, but his ear is open to the prayer of the upright.
Jehovah dia lavitra ny ratsy fanahy; Fa ny fivavaky ny marina no henoiny.
30 The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.
Ny tarehy miramirana mahafaly ny fo; Ary ny filazan-tsoa mamelombelona ny taolana.
31 The man whose ear is open to the teaching of life will have his place among the wise.
Ny sofina izay mihaino anatra mahavelona Dia miara-mitoetra amin’ ny hendry.
32 He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom.
Izay mandà anatra dia manary tena; Fa izay mihaino ny fananarana no mahazo fahalalana.
33 The fear of the Lord is the teaching of wisdom; and a low opinion of oneself goes before honour.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah dia fananarana mampahahendry; Ary ny fanetren-tena mialoha ny fisandratana.
