Proverbs 15
1 A soft answere putteth away wrath: but grieuous wordes stirre vp anger.
Deebiin laafaan dheekkamsa qabbaneessa; jechi hamaan garuu aarii kakaasa.
2 The tongue of the wise vseth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fooles babbleth out foolishnesse.
Arrabni nama ogeessaa beekumsa jaja; afaan nama gowwaa garuu gowwummaa dhangalaasa.
3 The eyes of the Lord in euery place beholde the euill and the good.
Iji Waaqayyoo idduma hunda jira; nama hamaa fi gaariis ni toʼata.
4 A wholesome tongue is as a tree of life: but the frowardnes therof is the breaking of ye minde.
Arrabni fayyina fidu muka jireenyaa ti; arrabni sobu garuu hafuura cabsa.
5 A foole despiseth his fathers instruction: but he that regardeth correction, is prudent.
Gowwaan adabbii abbaa isaa tuffata; namni sirreeffama fudhatu kam iyyuu garuu qalbii qabeessa.
6 The house of the righteous hath much treasure: but in the reuenues of the wicked is trouble.
Manni nama qajeelaa badhaadhummaa guddaa qaba; galiin nama hamaa garuu rakkoo isatti fida.
7 The lippes of the wise doe spread abroade knowledge: but ye heart of the foolish doth not so.
Arrabni nama ogeessaa beekumsa facaasa; garaan nama gowwaa garuu akkas miti.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the righteous is acceptable vnto him.
Waaqayyo aarsaa hamootaa ni balfa; kadhannaan tolootaa garuu isa gammachiisa.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination vnto the Lord: but he loueth him that followeth righteousnes.
Waaqayyo karaa hamootaa ni balfa; warra qajeelummaa duukaa buʼan garuu ni jaallata.
10 Instruction is euill to him that forsaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall die.
Nama daandii irraa jalʼatu adabbii hamaatu isa eeggata; kan sirreeffama jibbu ni duʼa.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men? (Sheol h7585)
Duʼaa fi Badiisni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti beekamoo dha; yoos garaan namaa hammam caalaa haa beekamu ree! (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loueth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he goe vnto the wise.
Namni qoosu sirreeffama hin jaallatu; nama ogeessaanis hin mariʼatu.
13 A ioyfull heart maketh a chearefull countenance: but by the sorow of the heart the minde is heauie.
Garaan gammadu akka fuulli ifu godha; gaddi garaa garuu hafuura cabsa.
14 The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of the foole is fedde with foolishnes.
Garaan waa qalbeeffatu beekumsa barbaada; afaan gowwaa garuu gowwummaa nyaata.
15 All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but a good conscience is a continuall feast.
Barri nama hacuucamee guutumaan guutuutti gadadoo dha; garaa gammaduuf garuu guyyaan hundinuu cidha.
16 Better is a litle with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith.
Qabeenya guddaa rakkina of keessaa qabuu mannaa, Waaqayyoon sodaachaa waan xinnaa qabaachuu wayya.
17 Better is a dinner of greene herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe and hatred therewith.
Jibbaan cooma sangaa nyaachuu mannaa, jaalalaan raafuu nyaachuu wayya.
18 An angrie man stirreth vp strife: but hee that is slowe to wrath, appeaseth strife.
Namni dafee aaru lola kakaasa; namni obsa qabu garuu lola qabbaneessa.
19 The way of a slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the righteous is plaine.
Karaan nama dhibaaʼaa qoraattiidhaan cufama; daandiin tolootaa garuu karaa diriiraa dha.
20 A wise sonne reioyceth the father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Ilmi ogeessi abbaa isaa gammachiisa; namni gowwaan garuu haadha isaa tuffata.
21 Foolishnes is ioy to him that is destitute of vnderstanding: but a man of vnderstanding walketh vprightly.
Nama qalbii hin qabne gowwummaatu isa gammachiisa; namni hubataan garuu daandii qajeelaa irra deema.
22 Without cousel thoughts come to nought: but in the multitude of counsellers there is stedfastnesse.
Karoorri gorsa hin qabne fiixaan hin baʼu; garuu gorsitoota hedduudhaan ni milkaaʼa.
23 A ioy commeth to a man by the answere of his mouth: and how good is a word in due season?
Namni tokko deebii malu kennuudhaan gammachuu argata; dubbiin yeroo isaatti dubbatamu akkam gaarii dha!
Daandiin nama hubataa akka inni siiʼoolitti gad hin buuneef gara jireenyaatti ol isa baasa. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord will destroye the house of the proude men: but hee will stablish the borders of the widowe.
Waaqayyo mana nama of tuuluu ni diiga; daangaa haadha hiyyeessaa garuu ni dhaaba.
26 The thoughts of ye wicked are abomination to the Lord: but the pure haue pleasant wordes.
Waaqayyo yaada nama hamaa ni balfa; yaadni nama qulqulluu garuu isa gammachiisa.
27 He that is greedie of gaine, troubleth his owne house: but he that hateth giftes, shall liue.
Namni doqni maatii isaatti rakkina fida; kan mattaʼaa jibbu garuu ni jiraata.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answere: but the wicked mans mouth babbleth euil thinges.
Garaan nama qajeelaa haala ittiin deebii kennu yaada; afaan nama hamaa garuu hammina dhangalaasa.
29 The Lord is farre off from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Waaqayyo nama hamaa irraa fagoo jira; kadhannaa nama qajeelaa garuu ni dhagaʼa.
30 The light of the eyes reioyceth the heart, and a good name maketh the bones fat.
Fuulli ifaan garaa gammachiisa; oduun gaariinis lafee haaromsa.
31 The eare that hearkeneth to the correction of life, shall lodge among the wise.
Namni adabbii jireenya kennu dhaggeeffatu, ogeeyyii gidduu jiraata.
32 Hee that refuseth instruction, despiseth his owne soule: but he that obeyeth correction, getteth vnderstanding.
Namni adabbii tuffatu ofuma tuffata; kan sirreeffama fudhatu garuu hubannaa argata.
33 The feare of the Lord is the instruction of wisdome: and before honour, goeth humilitie.
Waaqayyoon sodaachuun ogummaa nama barsiisa; gad of qabuunis ulfina dura dhufa.
