Proverbs 27
1 Don't boast about what you're going to do tomorrow, because you don't know what the day may bring.
Aza mirehareha ny amin’ ny ho ampitso ianao; Fa na dia ny havoaky ny anio aza tsy fantatrao.
2 Let others praise you, not you yourself; someone else, not you personally.
Aoka ny olon-kafa no hidera anao, fa tsy ny vavanao, Eny, ny vahiny, fa tsy ny molotrao.
3 Stone may be heavy, and sand may weigh a lot, but the annoyance caused by stupid people is the biggest burden of all.
Mavesatra ny vato, ary mavesa-danja ny fasika; Fa ny fahasosoran’ ny adala dia manoatra noho izy roa tonta.
4 Fury may be fierce and cruel, anger may be a destructive flood, but who can withstand jealousy?
Masiaka ny fahavinirana, ary misafoaka ny fahatezerana; Fa iza no mahajanona eo anatrehan’ ny fahasaro-piaro?
5 Open criticism is better than hidden love.
Aleo anatra imaso Toy izay fitia afenina.
6 A friend's honest comments may hurt you, but an enemy's kisses are over the top.
Azo itokiana hahasoa ny fery ataon’ ny sakaiza; Fa tena fitaka ny fanorohan’ ny fahavalo.
7 If you're full up, you can't face honey; but if you're starving, even bitter food tastes sweet.
Hitsakitsahin’ ny voky na dia ny toho-tantely aza; Fa mamin’ ny noana na dia ny zava-mangidy rehetra aza.
8 Having to leave home is like a bird having to leave its nest.
Toy ny voron-kely miala amin’ ny akaniny ka mirenireny, Dia toy izany ny olona izay mirenireny miala amin’ ny fonenany.
9 Perfume and scented oils make you feel happy, but good advice from a friend is even better.
Ny diloilo sy ny zava-manitra mahafaly ny fo, Ary ny hamamin’ ny sakaiza dia avy amin’ ny ana-panahy ataony.
10 Don't give up on your friends or your family's friends. Don't go to a relative's house when you've got trouble. A friend nearby is more useful than a relative far away.
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 My son, make me happy by being wise, so I can respond to anyone who criticizes me.
Anaka, hendre, ary ampifalio ny foko, Mba hamaliako izay miteny ratsy ahy.
12 If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and suffer the consequences.
Ny mahira-tsaina mahatazana ny loza ka miery; Fa ny kely saina kosa mandroso ka voa.
13 If someone guarantees a stranger's debt with their cloak, be sure to take it! Make sure you have whatever is pledged to an immoral woman!
Alao ny lambany, fa efa niantoka olon-kafa izy, Ary tano ho solon’ ny vahiny janga niantohany izy.
14 If when you get up every morning you shout a loud hello to your neighbors, they will see that as a curse!
Izay mifoha maraina koa ka misaotra ny sakaizany amin’ ny feo mahery, Dia isaina ho fanozonana izany.
15 An argumentative wife is as irritating as constant dripping on a rainy day.
Tahaka ny fijononoky ny ranonorana be Ny vehivavy tia ady.
16 Trying to stop her is like trying to make the wind stop or trying to hold olive oil in your hand.
Izay misakana azy dia toy ny misakana ny rivotra, Sady toy ny mamihina diloilo ny tànany ankavanana.
17 An iron blade is sharpened with an iron tool, and one person's mind is sharpened by another's.
Ny vy maharanitra ny vy, Toy izany, ny olona maharanitra ny tarehin’ ny sakaizany.
18 Those who care for a fig tree eat its fruit, and those who care for their master are rewarded.
Izay miaro aviavy dia hihinana ny voany; Ary izay miambin-tompo dia homem-boninahitra.
19 Just as water reflects your face, your mind reflects who you really are.
Toy ny tandindona eny anaty rano mifanahaka amin’ ny tarehy, Dia toy izany no ifanahafan’ ny fon’ ny olona amin’ ny an’ olona.
20 In the same way that the grave and destruction are never satisfied, human desire is never satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
Ny fiainan-tsi-hita sy ny fandringanana tsy mety voky, Dia toy izany no tsy ahamamoan’ ny mason’ ny olona. (Sheol h7585)
21 Just as a crucible tests silver, and a furnace tests gold, people are tested by the praise they receive.
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 Even if you ground stupid people in a mortar, crushing them like grain with the pestle, you can't get rid of stupidity from them.
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 You should know the condition of your flocks really well and take good care of your herds,
Fantaro tsara ny tarehin’ ny ondry aman’ osinao, Ary miahia tsara ny andian’ ny bibinao;
24 for wealth doesn't last forever—is a crown passed down through all generations?
Fa ny harena tsy ho mandrakizay; Ary moa haharitra ho amin’ ny taranaka rehetra va ny satro-boninahitra?
25 Once the hay is cut, and the new growth begins, and fodder from the mountains is gathered,
Na dia lany aza ny ahitra, ka mitsiry ny solofony, Ary voataona ny zava-maniry any an-tendrombohitra,
26 and the lambs have provided you wool to make clothing, and the sale of goats have paid for a field,
Ny zanak’ ondry dia hahazoanao fitafiana, Ary ny osy hamidinao tany;
27 there'll be enough milk from your goats to feed you, your family, and your servant girls.
Ary ho ampy hosotroinao ny rononon’ osy Sy ho an’ ny ankohonanao, Ary hisy hiveloman’ ny ankizivavinao.
