Proverbs 11
1 False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.
Ny mizana mandainga dia fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah; Fa ny vato marina no ankasitrahany.
2 When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.
Raha tonga ny fiavonavonana, dia tonga koa ny fahafaham-baraka; Fa ao amin’ ny manetry tena no misy fahendrena.
3 The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.
Ny fahitsian’ ny mahitsy no mitarika azy; Fa ny faharatsian’ ny mpivadika mahatonga fandringanana amin’ ny tenany.
4 Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
Ny harena dia tsy mahasoa amin’ ny andro fahatezerana; Fa ny fahamarinana no mamonjy tsy ho azon’ ny fahafatesana.
5 The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.
Ny fahamarinan’ ny marina mandamina ny alehany; Fa ny ratsy fanahy lavon’ ny haratsiany ihany.
6 The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.
Ny fahamarinan’ ny mahitsy mamonjy azy; Fa ny mpivadika dia voafandriky ny filàny.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.
Raha maty ny ratsy fanahy, dia foana ny fanantenany, Eny, foana ny fanantenan’ ny mpanao ratsy.
8 The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.
Ny marina dia vonjena amin’ ny fahoriana; Fa ho avy kosa ny ratsy fanahy hisolo azy.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.
Ny vavan’ ny mpihatsaravelatsihy no animbany ny namany; Fa ny fahalalana no hanafahana ny marina.
10 In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
Raha miadana ny marina, dia ravoravo ny tanàna; Fa raha ringana ny ratsy fanahy, dia velona ny hoby.
11 By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
Ny fisaoran’ ny marina no isandratan’ ny tanàna; Fa ny vavan’ ny ratsy fanahy no aharavany.
12 He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
Tsy ampy saina izay manamavo ny namany; Fa izay hendry dia mangìna.
13 Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
Izay mandehandeha manaratsy dia manambara ny hevitra afenina; Fa ny olona mahatoky tsy mba tia lazalaza.
14 Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
Raha tsy misy mpitondra, dia rava ny firenena; Fa handry fahizay, raha maro ny mpanolo-tsaina.
15 Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
Hahita loza tokoa ny mianto-bahiny: Fa mitoetra tsy manana ahiahy ny tsy tia antoka.
16 A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
Ny vehivavy tsara tarehy mahazo dera; Ary ny mpanao an-keriny mahazo harena.
17 Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
Ny olona mamindra fo dia mahazo soa ho an’ ny tenany; Fa ny lozabe dia todin’ ny halozany.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
Ny ratsy fanahy dia mahazo valiny tsy mahasoa; Fa izay mamafy fahamarinana no mahazo izay tena tambiny tokoa.
19 As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
Ny tena fahamarinana dia mamantana any amin’ ny fiainana; Fa izay fatra-panaraka ny ratsy dia iharan’ ny fahafatesana.
20 They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
Fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah ny meloka am-po; Fa ankasitrahany kosa izay mandeha tsy misy tsiny.
21 Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
Azo itompoana tokoa fa tsy maintsy hampijalina ny ratsy fanahy; Fa ny taranaky ny marina no hovonjena.
22 As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
Toy ny kavim-bolamena eo amin’ ny oron-kisoa Ny vehivavy tsara tarehy tsy manam-pahendrena.
23 The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
Ny soa ihany no irin’ ny marina; Fa fahatezerana no fanantenan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
24 There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
Misy mahafoy, nefa mitombo fananana ihany; Ary misy fatra-pahihitra loatra, nefa tonga malahelo ihany.
25 The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
Izay manisy soa olona hohatavezina; Ary izay mandena dia mba holemana kosa.
26 He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
Izay tsy mamoaka ny variny dia ozonin’ ny olona; Fa saotra no ho amin’ ny lohan’ izay mivarotra.
27 He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
Izay fatra-pikatsaka ny tsara no mitady ny mahafinaritra; Fa izay mitady ny ratsy dia hiharan’ izany.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
Izay matoky ny hareny dia ho lavo; Fa ny marina ho tahaka ny ravina maitso.
29 He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.
Izay mampidi-doza amin’ ny ankohonany dia mandova ny rivotra; Ary ny adala dia tonga mpanompon’ ny hendry.
30 The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.
Ny vokatry ny marina dia hazon’ aina, Ary ny hendry dia mahataona olona.
31 Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
Indro, ny marina aza dia valiana etỳ an-tany, Koa mainka fa ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mpanota!
