Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel.
Ny Ohabolan’ i Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely:
2 They are for achieving wisdom and instruction, and to recognize sayings that bring insight.
Hahalalana fahendrena sy fananarana, Ary hahafantarana ny tenin’ ny fahalalana;
3 They provide education in what makes sense, living right, judging correctly, and acting fairly.
Hahazoana fananarana mampahahendry, Dia fahamarinana sy rariny ary fahitsiana;
4 They give discernment to the immature, knowledge and discretion to the young.
Hanomezam-pahendrena ho an’ ny kely saina, Ary fahalalana sy fisainana mazava ho an’ ny zatovo.
5 Wise people will listen and gain in learning, and those who have good judgment will gain skills in guidance,
Aoka ny hendry hihaino ka hitombo saina; Ary aoka ny manam-panahy hahazo fitarihana tsara;
6 understanding the proverbs and puzzles, the sayings and questions of the wise.
Hahafantarana ohabolana sy fanoharana, Ary ny tenin’ ny hendry sy ny teny saro-pantarina ataony.
7 Honoring the Lord is where true knowledge begins, but fools treat wisdom and good advice with contempt.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah no fiandoham-pahalalana; Fa ny adala manamavo ny fahendrena sy ny famaizana. Fananarana tsy hikambana amin’ ny mpanao ratsy.
8 My son, pay attention to your father's instruction, and don't reject your mother's teaching.
Anaka, mihainoa ny ana-drainao, Ary aza mahafoy ny lalàn-dreninao;
9 They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.
Fa fehiloha tsara tarehy amin’ ny lohanao izany, Ary rado amin’ ny vozonao.
10 My son, if evil people try to tempt you, don't give into them.
Anaka, raha taomin’ ny mpanota ianao, Aza manaiky.
11 They may tell you, “Come with us. Let's go and hide, ready to kill someone. Let's ambush someone for fun!
Raha hoy izy: Andeha hiaraka isika, Aoka isika hanotrika handatsa-drà; Andeha hamitsahantsika tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana ny tsy manan-tsiny;
Aoka isika hitelina azy velona tahaka ny fitelin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita Ary hanao azy teli-moka toy ny latsaka any an-davaka; (Sheol h7585)
13 We'll take from them all kinds of valuable things and fill our homes with the stuff we steal!
Dia ho azontsika ny fananana sarobidy rehetra, Ka hofenointsika babo ny tranontsika;
14 Come and join us and we'll all share what we get!”
Avia mba hiara-miloka eto aminay; Aoka ho iray ihany ny kitapom-bolantsika rehetra:
15 My son, don't follow their ways. Don't go in that direction with them.
Anaka, aza miara-dalana aminy ianao; Arovy ny tongotrao tsy hankamin’ ny alehany;
16 For they rush to do evil; they hurry to commit violence and murder.
Fa ny tongony mihazakazaka ho amin’ ny ratsy Sady faingana handatsa-drà.
17 There's no point in trying to lure birds into a net when they can see it.
Fa velarim-poana ny fandrika, Raha hitan’ ny vorona.
18 However, these evil people hide ready to kill others, but they themselves are the victims. They're only ambushing themselves!
Fa ireny dia manotrika handatsaka ny ran’ ny tenany ihany; Mamitsaka hahafaty ny tenany ihany izy.
19 This is what happens to you if you try to become rich through crime—it kills you!
Toy izany no iafaran’ izay rehetra fatra-pila harena; Fa hipaoka ny ain’ izay fatra-pila azy izany.
20 Wisdom calls out in the streets; she shouts aloud in the squares.
Ny fahendrena miantso mafy eny ivelany; Manandratra ny feony eny an-kalalahana izy;
21 She cries out at busy corners; she explains her message at the town gates:
Mitory ao amin’ izay fivorian’ ny maro be mireondreona izy; Eo anoloan’ ny vavahady sy ao an-tanàna no ilazany ny teniny hoe:
22 “How long will you stupid people love stupidity? How long will scornful people enjoy their mocking? How long will fools hate knowledge?
Ry kely saina, mandra-pahoviana no hitiavanareo ny fahadalana, Sy hifalian’ ny mpaniratsira amin’ ny faniratsirana, Ary hankahalan’ ny adala ny fahalalana?
23 Pay attention to my warnings, and I'll pour out my deepest thoughts to you—I'll explain what I know to you.
Miverena ianareo hihaino ny fananarako; Indro, haidiko aminareo ny fanahiko, Ary hampahafantariko anareo ny teniko.
24 For I have called you, but you refused to listen; I reached out my hand to you, but you didn't care.
Satria efa niantso Aho, fa nandà ianareo; Efa naninjitra ny tanako Aho, fa tsy nisy nitandrina;
25 You ignored everything I said; you wouldn't accept any of my warnings.
Fa nolavinareo ny saina rehetra natolotro, Sady tsy nety nanaiky ny anatro ianareo:
26 So I'll laugh at you when you're in trouble; I'll mock you when you're in a panic.
Izaho kosa hihomehy, raha tonga ny fandringanana anareo; Handatsa Aho, raha tonga ny mahatahotra anareo.
27 When panic rains down on you like a storm, when trouble hits you like a whirlwind, when sorrow and pain come on you,
Raha tonga ny zava-mahatahotra anareo tahaka ny rivo-doza Ary ny fandringanana anareo toy ny tadio, Ka manjo anareo ny fahoriana sy ny fangirifiriana,
28 then you'll call out to me for help, but I won't answer; you'll search hard for me, but won't find me.
Dia vao hiantso Ahy izy, fa tsy hamaly Aho; Dia vao hitady Ahy fatratra izy, fa tsy ho hitany Aho.
29 Why?—because they hated knowledge, and they didn't choose to respect the Lord.
Satria nankahala ny fahalalana izy Ary tsy nifidy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah,
30 They're not willing to accept my advice; they despise all my warnings.
Tsy nekeny ny saina natolotro, Notsiratsirainy avokoa ny anatro rehetra,
31 So they'll have to eat the fruit of their own choices, bloated by their own devious schemes.
Dia hihinana ny vokatry ny alehany izy Ka ho voky ny fihendreny.
32 Stupid people are killed by their rebellion; foolish people are destroyed by their lack of concern.
Fa ny fihemoran’ ny kely saina hahafaty azy, Ary ny fiadanan’ ny adala handringana azy.
33 But everyone who listens to me will be kept safe, and will live without worrying about problems.”
Fa izay mihaino Ahy kosa hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy, Eny, handry fahizay izy ka tsy hatahotra ny ratsy.
