Kawikaan 15
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
15 Ang malumanay na sagot ay nakakapawi ng poot, ngunit lalong nakakapagpagalit ang pabalang na sagot.
2 Ang salita ng taong marunong ay nagpapahiwatig ng karunungan, ngunit ang salita ng hangal ay nagpapakita ng kahangalan.
3 Nakikita ng Panginoon ang lahat ng lugar. Minamasdan niya ang ginagawa ng masasama at ng mga matuwid.
4 Ang malumanay na pananalita ay nakapagpapasigla ng kalooban ng tao,[a] ngunit ang masakit na salita ay nakakasugat ng puso.
5 Hindi pinapansin ng taong hangal ang pagtutuwid ng kanyang ama, ngunit ang taong marunong, sumusunod sa mga paalala sa kanya.
6 Dadami ang kayamanan sa tahanan ng mga matuwid, ngunit anumang pag-aari ng masasama ay mawawala.[b]
7 Ikinakalat ng marunong ang kanyang karunungan, ngunit hindi ito magawa ng mangmang.
8 Kasuklam-suklam sa Panginoon ang handog ng masasama, ngunit kalugod-lugod sa kanya ang panalangin ng mga matuwid.
9 Kinamumuhian ng Panginoon ang taong ang gawain ay masama, ngunit ang taong nagsusumikap na gumawa ng matuwid ay minamahal niya.
10 Minamasama ng taong naliligaw ng landas kapag itinutuwid siya. Ang taong umaayaw sa mga pagtutuwid ay mamamatay.
11 Kung alam ng Panginoon ang nangyayari sa daigdig ng mga patay, lalo namang alam niya ang nasa puso ng mga buhay.
12 Ang taong nangungutya ay ayaw ng sinasaway; ayaw ding tumanggap ng payo mula sa taong may karunungan.
13 Kapag ang tao ay masaya, nakangiti siya, ngunit kapag ang tao ay malungkot, mukha niya ay nakasimangot.
14 Ang taong may pang-unawa ay naghahangad pa ng karunungan, ngunit ang taong hangal ay naghahangad pa ng kahangalan.
15 Ang buhay ng mga dukha ay palaging mahirap, ngunit kung makokontento lang sila ay palagi silang magiging masaya.
16 Mas mabuti pang maging mahirap na may takot sa Panginoon, kaysa maging mayaman na ang buhay ay puno ng kaguluhan.
17 Mas mabuti pa ang mag-ulam ng kahit gulay lang pero may pagmamahalan, kaysa sa mag-ulam ng karne pero may alitan.
18 Ang taong mainitin ang ulo ay nagpapasimula ng gulo, ngunit ang taong mahinahon ay tagapamayapa ng gulo.
19 Kung ikaw ay tamad, buhay mo ay maghihirap, ngunit kung ikaw ay masipag, buhay mo ay uunlad.
20 Ang anak na marunong ay ligaya ng magulang, ngunit ang anak na hangal ay hinahamak ang magulang.
21 Ang taong walang pang-unawa ay nagagalak sa kamangmangan, ngunit ang may pang-unawa ay namumuhay nang matuwid.
22 Mabibigo ka kapag hindi ka humihingi ng payo tungkol sa iyong mga pinaplano, ngunit kapag marami kang tagapayo magtatagumpay ang mga plano mo.
23 Nagagalak ang tao kapag akma ang sagot niya. Mas nagagalak siya kung nakakasagot siya sa tamang pagkakataon.
24 Ang taong marunong ay daan patungo sa buhay ang sinusundan at iniiwasan niya ang daan patungo sa kamatayan.
25 Wawasakin ng Panginoon ang bahay ng hambog, ngunit iingatan niya ang lupain ng biyuda.
26 Kinasusuklaman ng Panginoon ang iniisip ng masasamang tao, ngunit nagagalak siya sa iniisip ng mga taong may malinis na puso.
27 Ang taong yumaman sa masamang paraan ay nagdudulot ng kaguluhan sa kanyang sambahayan. Mabubuhay naman nang matagal ang taong hindi nasusuhulan.
28 Ang taong matuwid ay pinag-iisipan muna ang sasabihin, ngunit ang taong masama ay basta na lamang nagsasalita.
29 Malayo ang Panginoon sa masasama, ngunit malapit siya sa mga matuwid at pinapakinggan niya ang kanilang dalangin.
30 Ang masayang mukha ay nagbibigay ng tuwa at nagpapasigla ang magandang balita.
31 Ang taong nakikinig sa mga turo ng buhay ay maibibilang sa mga marurunong.
32 Pinapasama ng tao ang kanyang sarili kapag binabalewala niya ang pagtutuwid sa kanyang pag-uugali, ngunit kung makikinig siya, lalago ang kanyang kaalaman.
33 Ang takot sa Panginoon ay nagtuturo ng karunungan, at ang nagpapakumbaba ay pinaparangalan.
Proverbs 15
World English Bible
15 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouths of fools gush out folly.
3 Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father’s correction,
but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure,
but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge;
not so with the heart of fools.
8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way.
Whoever hates reproof shall die.
11 Sheol[a] and Abaddon are before Yahweh—
how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
12 A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved;
he will not go to the wise.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge,
but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched,
but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
16 Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh,
than great treasure with trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,
than a fattened calf with hatred.
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention,
but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch,
but the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A wise son makes a father glad,
but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom,
but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail;
but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth.
How good is a word at the right time!
24 The path of life leads upward for the wise,
to keep him from going downward to Sheol.[b]
25 Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud,
but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.
26 Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked,
but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
but he who hates bribes will live.
28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers,
but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
29 Yahweh is far from the wicked,
but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart.
Good news gives health to the bones.
31 The ear that listens to reproof lives,
and will be at home among the wise.
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul,
but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
33 The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom.
Before honor is humility.
Proverbs 15
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
