Proverbs 15
1 When people are angry with you, reply to them gently, and it will calm them; but if you reply harshly to them, it causes them to become more angry.
Łagodna odpowiedź uśmierza zapalczywość, a przykre słowa wzniecają gniew.
2 When wise [people] speak [MTY], it causes those who hear what they say to want to know more; foolish people continually say [MTY] what is foolish.
Język mądrych zdobi wiedzę, ale usta głupich tryskają głupotą.
3 Yahweh sees [MTY] [what is happening] everywhere; he observes what bad [people do] as well as what good [people do].
Oczy PANA są na każdym miejscu, upatrują złych i dobrych.
4 Those who speak [MTY] kindly to people are [like] [MET] trees [whose fruit gives] life; speaking what is false causes people to (despair/feel very discouraged).
Zdrowy język [jest] drzewem życia, a jego przewrotność [jest] zniszczeniem dla ducha.
5 Foolish children despise their parents when their parents correct/discipline them; wise children accept it.
Głupi gardzi pouczeniem swego ojca, a kto przyjmuje upomnienia, jest roztropny.

W domu sprawiedliwego [jest] wielki dostatek, a w dochodach niegodziwego jest zamieszanie.
7 What wise [people] teach [MTY] causes others to know much more, [but] foolish people cannot teach others what is useful.
Wargi mądrych szerzą wiedzę, a serce głupich nie.
8 Yahweh detests the sacrifices that are offered by wicked [people]; what delights/pleases him very much are the prayers of righteous/good [people].
Ofiara niegodziwych budzi odrazę w PANU, [a] modlitwa prawych mu się podoba.
9 Yahweh hates/detests the behavior of wicked [people], but he loves those who always do what is righteous/just/fair.
Droga niegodziwego wzbudza odrazę w PANU, a miłuje on tego, kto podąża za sprawiedliwością.
10 Those who do what is wrong will be severely punished; those who do not want to be corrected will die.
Sroga kara [należy się] temu, kto zbacza z drogi, a kto nienawidzi upomnień, umrze.
11 Yahweh knows [what is happening in] the place where dead people [DOU] are, so he certainly knows [RHQ] what people are thinking. (Sheol h7585)
Piekło i zatracenie [są] przed PANEM; o ileż bardziej serca synów ludzkich. (Sheol h7585)
12 Some people do not want to be corrected; they never go to wise [people to seek good advice from them].

13 When people are happy, they have smiles on their faces; but when they are sad, [by looking at their faces we can see that] they are sad.
Radosne serce rozwesela twarz, [ale] gdy smutek w sercu, duch jest przygnębiony.

Serce rozumne szuka wiedzy, a usta głupich karmią się głupotą.
15 Those who are oppressed constantly have difficulties, but those who (OR, if they) are happy, [it is as though] [MET] they are having a big feast every day.
Wszystkie dni strapionego [są] złe, ale kto jest wesołego serca, ma nieustanną ucztę.
16 Being poor and revering Yahweh is better than being rich and having a lot of troubles.
Lepiej [mieć] mało z bojaźnią PANA niż wielki skarb z kłopotem.
17 Eating meals with [people whom you] love and having only vegetables to eat is better than eating with [people who] hate [each other and] having lots of good meat [to eat].
Lepsza jest potrawa z jarzyn, gdzie miłość, niż tuczny wół, gdzie panuje nienawiść.

Człowiek gniewny wszczyna kłótnie, a nieskory do gniewu łagodzi spory.

Droga leniwego jest jak płot cierniowy, a ścieżka prawych jest wyrównana.

22 If there is no one to give us good advice, we will not accomplish what we are planning to do; but when we have many [good] advisors, we will succeed.
Gdzie nie ma rady, nie udają się zamysły; powiodą się zaś przy mnóstwie doradców.
23 People rejoice when they are able to reply well to what others have asked them; [truly], it is very delightful to be able to say the right thing at the right time.
Człowiek cieszy się z odpowiedzi swoich ust, a słowo powiedziane we właściwym czasie jakże jest dobre!

27 Those who try hard to get money by acting dishonestly cause trouble for their family; those who refuse to accept bribes will live [for a long time].
Kto jest chciwy zysku, ściąga kłopoty na własny dom, a kto nienawidzi darów, będzie żył.

Ucho, które słucha upomnienia życia, będzie mieszkać pośród mądrych.
32 If people refuse to listen [when others try] to correct them, they are despising/hurting themselves; those who (pay attention/heed) when [others] warn them (become wiser/acquire good sense).
Kto odrzuca karność, gardzi własną duszą, a kto przyjmuje upomnienie, nabiera rozumu.
33 If you revere Yahweh, you will learn how to become wise, but [only] after you become humble will [people] honor you.
Bojaźń PANA [jest] pouczeniem w mądrości, a pokora poprzedza chwałę.
