Proverbs 27
1 Boast not for tomorrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.
Aza mirehareha ny amin’ ny ho ampitso ianao; Fa na dia ny havoaky ny anio aza tsy fantatrao.
2 Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.
Aoka ny olon-kafa no hidera anao, fa tsy ny vavanao, Eny, ny vahiny, fa tsy ny molotrao.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.
Mavesatra ny vato, ary mavesa-danja ny fasika; Fa ny fahasosoran’ ny adala dia manoatra noho izy roa tonta.
4 Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?
Masiaka ny fahavinirana, ary misafoaka ny fahatezerana; Fa iza no mahajanona eo anatrehan’ ny fahasaro-piaro?
5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
Aleo anatra imaso Toy izay fitia afenina.
6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.
Azo itokiana hahasoa ny fery ataon’ ny sakaiza; Fa tena fitaka ny fanorohan’ ny fahavalo.
7 A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.
Hitsakitsahin’ ny voky na dia ny toho-tantely aza; Fa mamin’ ny noana na dia ny zava-mangidy rehetra aza.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.
Toy ny voron-kely miala amin’ ny akaniny ka mirenireny, Dia toy izany ny olona izay mirenireny miala amin’ ny fonenany.
9 Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.
Ny diloilo sy ny zava-manitra mahafaly ny fo, Ary ny hamamin’ ny sakaiza dia avy amin’ ny ana-panahy ataony.
10 Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.
Aza mahafoy ny sakaizanao, na ny sakaizan-drainao, Ary aza mankany amin’ ny tranon’ ny rahalahinao amin’ ny andro fahorianao; Fa tsara ny namana akaiky noho ny rahalahy lavitra.
11 Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
Anaka, hendre, ary ampifalio ny foko, Mba hamaliako izay miteny ratsy ahy.
12 The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
Ny mahira-tsaina mahatazana ny loza ka miery; Fa ny kely saina kosa mandroso ka voa.
13 Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.
Alao ny lambany, fa efa niantoka olon-kafa izy, Ary tano ho solon’ ny vahiny janga niantohany izy.
14 He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.
Izay mifoha maraina koa ka misaotra ny sakaizany amin’ ny feo mahery, Dia isaina ho fanozonana izany.
15 Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.
Tahaka ny fijononoky ny ranonorana be Ny vehivavy tia ady.
16 He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.
Izay misakana azy dia toy ny misakana ny rivotra, Sady toy ny mamihina diloilo ny tànany ankavanana.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Ny vy maharanitra ny vy, Toy izany, ny olona maharanitra ny tarehin’ ny sakaizany.
18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.
Izay miaro aviavy dia hihinana ny voany; Ary izay miambin-tompo dia homem-boninahitra.
19 As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
Toy ny tandindona eny anaty rano mifanahaka amin’ ny tarehy, Dia toy izany no ifanahafan’ ny fon’ ny olona amin’ ny an’ olona.
Ny fiainan-tsi-hita sy ny fandringanana tsy mety voky, Dia toy izany no tsy ahamamoan’ ny mason’ ny olona. (Sheol h7585)
21 As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
Ny memy ho an’ ny volafotsy, Ny fandrendrehana ho an’ ny volamena, Ary ny toetry ny olona dia tsy maintsy ho araka izay zavatra derainy.
22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.
Na dia miara-totoinao ny fanoto amin’ ny vary eo an-daona aza ny adala, Dia tsy mba hiala aminy tsy akory ny fahadalany.
23 Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks:
Fantaro tsara ny tarehin’ ny ondry aman’ osinao, Ary miahia tsara ny andian’ ny bibinao;
24 For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.
Fa ny harena tsy ho mandrakizay; Ary moa haharitra ho amin’ ny taranaka rehetra va ny satro-boninahitra?
25 The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.
Na dia lany aza ny ahitra, ka mitsiry ny solofony, Ary voataona ny zava-maniry any an-tendrombohitra,
26 Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.
Ny zanak’ ondry dia hahazoanao fitafiana, Ary ny osy hamidinao tany;
27 Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.
Ary ho ampy hosotroinao ny rononon’ osy Sy ho an’ ny ankohonanao, Ary hisy hiveloman’ ny ankizivavinao.
