Proverbs 11
1 False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.
Tiva am’ Iehovà ty fandanjàñe vìlañe, fe no’e ty vato to.
2 When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.
Ie avy ty firengeañe, pok’eo ka ty hasalarañe; fe mpiamo mpirekeo ty hihitse.
3 The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.
Miaolo o vantañeo ty havañona’e, fe mampianto i lahiaga ty fikelokeloha’e.
4 Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
Tsy vente’e añ’andron-kankàñe ty vara, fe mamotsotse an-kavilasy ty havantañañe.
5 The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.
Mampahity ty lala’ o malio tahiñeo ty havantaña’e, fe mikorovok’ ami’ty haratia’e o lo-tserekeo.
6 The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.
Mañaha ty vañoñe i havantaña’ey, fe hamahotse o piaroteñeo ty fatiti’iareo.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.
Ie mate ty lo-tsereke, momoke o fañiria’eo, vaho voroke ty fitamà’ i tsy mahitiy.
8 The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.
Votsorañe amy falovilovia’ey ty vantañe, le mb’eo handimbe aze ty lo-tsereke.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.
Mijoy ty rañe’e am-bava’e ty tsi-aman-Kàke, fe hilala ty mañaha o vañoñeo.
10 In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
Ie miraorao o vantañeo, mirebeke ty rova; ie momoke ty lo-tsereke, inay ty firiñariñan-kobaiñe.
11 By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
Mionjoñe ty rova tatae’ o vañoñeo, fe rotsahe’ ty vava’ o lo-tserekeo.
12 He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
Po-hilala ty maniva ondaty, fe mianjiñe t’indaty mahilala.
13 Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
Mb’eo mb’eo i mpitolom-bolañey mampiborake ty nitangogoeñe, fe mahakafi-draha ty migahiñe.
14 Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
Ie po-panoroañe, mihotrake o borizañeo, fe fandreketañe t’ie mitolom-pisafiry.
15 Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
Toe hisotry ty miantoke songon’ ambahiny, fe soa fiaro ty malai-mañoho-pitàñe.
16 A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
Asieñe ty rakemba matarike, vaho manontom-bara ty fanalolahy.
17 Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
Mañasoa ty tro’e t’indaty matarike, fe mijoy ty vata’e ty mpampisoañe.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
Mikarama hakoahañe ty lo-tsereke, fe ho soa tambe ty mitongy havantañañe.
19 As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
Ho veloñe ty mifahatse an-kavañonañe, fe hihomake ty mañean-karatiañe.
20 They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
Tiva am’ Iehovà ty mengok’ an-troke, fe ifalea’e ty mañavelo an-kahiti’e.
21 Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
Tsy mikalafo te tsy ho po-lafa ty lo-tsereke, fe ho haha ty tiri’ o vantañeo.
22 As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
Hoe bange volamena ami’ty oron-dambo ty ampela montramontra tsy mahalie-batañe.
23 The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
Ty hasoa avao ty fisalala’ o vañoñeo; fe haviñerañe ty fitamà’ i lahiaga.
24 There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
Eo ty fampiparaitahañe mbe mampitombo avao; eo ty matity ami’ty mañeva, f’ie ho rarake.
25 The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
Hiraorao t’indaty matarike, vaho ho tondrahañe ka ty manondrake.
26 He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
Honjire’ ondatio ty matity ampemba, fe fitahiañe ty ho añambone’ i mandetak’ azey.
27 He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
Osiheñe ty mitsoe-kasoa, fe ami’ty mipay haratiañe, izay ty ho zoe’e.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
Hihotrake ty miato vara, fe handrevake hoe ravets-atae maindoñe o vantañeo.
29 He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.
Handova tioke ty mpanolo-tsotry añ’anjomba’e, le hitoroñe ty mahihi-troke ty dagola.
30 The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.
Hataen-kaveloñe ty vokare’ o vantañeo, vaho mpandrekets’arofo ty mahihitse.
31 Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
Kanao ho tambezeñe an-tane atoy o vantañeo, àntsake ty tsereheñe naho o piaroteñeo.
