Proverbs 21
1 The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the riuers of waters: he turneth it whithersoeuer it pleaseth him.
Rano velona eo an-tànan’ i Jehovah ny fon’ ny mpanjaka, Ka tarihiny amin’ izay tiany.
2 Euery way of a man is right in his owne eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
Ataon’ ny olona ho marina avokoa ny lalana rehetra alehany; Fa Jehovah ihany no Mpandanja ny fo.
3 To doe iustice and iudgement is more acceptable to the Lord then sacrifice.
Ny hanao izay marina sy mahitsy No sitrak’ i Jehovah mihoatra noho ny fanatitra alatsa-drà.
4 A hautie looke, and a proude heart, which is the light of the wicked, is sinne.
Ny fiandranandran’ ny maso sy ny fiavonavon’ ny fo Izay jiron’ ny ratsy fanahy dia ota.
5 The thoughtes of the diligent doe surely bring abundance: but whosoeuer is hastie, commeth surely to pouertie.
Ny hevitry ny mazoto dia mampanan-karena; Fa ny maimaika rehetra dia halahelo ihany.
6 The gathering of treasures by a deceitfull tongue is vanitie tossed to and from of them that seeke death.
Ny fahazoan-karena amin’ ny lela mandainga Dia fofonaina mihelina ho an’ izay mitady fahafatesana.
7 The robberie of the wicked shall destroy them: for they haue refused to execute iudgement.
Ny fitohatohan’ ny ratsy fanahy hamongotra azy, Satria mandà tsy hanao izay marina izy.
8 The way of some is peruerted and strange: but of the pure man, his worke is right.
Miolikolika ny lalan’ ny mavesa-keloka; Fa mahitsy ny ataon’ ny madio.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top, then with a contentious woman in a wide house.
Aleo mitoetra eo an-joron’ ny tampon-trano Toy izay hiray trano amin’ ny vehivavy tia ady.
10 The soule of the wicked wisheth euill: and his neighbour hath no fauour in his eyes.
Ny fanahin’ ny ratsy fanahy maniry ny ratsy, Ka na dia ny havany aza tsy mahita fitia eo imasony.
11 When the scorner is punished, the foolish is wise: and when one instructeth the wise, he wil receiue knowledge.
Raha ampijalina ny mpaniratsira, dia ho hendry ny kely saina; Ary raha toroan-kevitra ny hendry, dia hahazo fahalalana izy.
12 The righteous teacheth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their euill.
Ny Iray Marina no mandinika ny tranon’ ny ratsy fanahy Ka mamarina azy ho amin’ ny loza.
13 He that stoppeth his eare at the crying of the poore, he shall also cry and not be heard.
Izay manentsin-tadiny amin’ ny fitarainan’ ny malahelo, Dia mba hitaraina kosa izy, fa tsy hohenoina.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a gift in the bosome great wrath.
Ny fanomezana mangingina mampionona ny fahatezerana, Ary ny kolikoly amin’ ny takona mampitsahatra ny fahavinirana mafy.
15 It is ioye to the iust to doe iudgement: but destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie.
Fifalian’ ny marina ny hanao araka ny rariny; Fa zava-mahatahotra ny mpanao ratsy kosa izany.
16 A man that wandreth out of the way of wisdome, shall remaine in the congregation of the dead.
Ny olona izay mivily miala amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahendrena Dia hitoetra ao amin’ ny fivorian’ ny fanahin’ ny maty.
17 Hee that loueth pastime, shalbe a poore man: and he that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be riche.
Izay tia fanaranam-po dia olona halahelo, Eny, izay tia divay sy diloilo tsy mba hanan-karena.
18 The wicked shalbe a ransome for the iust, and the transgressour for the righteous.
Ny ratsy fanahy dia ho avotry ny marina, Ary ny mpivadika ho solon’ ny mahitsy.
19 It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and angry woman.
Aleo mitoetra any an-efitra Toy izay amin’ ny vehivavy tia ady sady foizina.
20 In the house of the wise is a pleasant treasure and oyle: but a foolish man deuoureth it.
Harena mahafinaritra sy diloilo no ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny hendry; Fa ny adala mandany azy.
21 He that followeth after righteousnes and mercy, shall finde life, righteousnes, and glory.
Izay fatra-panaraka fahamarinana sy famindram-po Dia hahazo fiainana sy fahamarinana ary voninahitra.
22 A wise man goeth vp into the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof.
Ny hendry mananika ny vohitry ny mahery Ka mandrodana ny fiarovana mafy izay itokiany.
23 He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from afflictions.
Izay miambina ny vavany sy ny lelany Dia miaro ny fanahiny tsy ho azom-pahoriana.
24 Proude, hautie and scornefull is his name that worketh in his arrogancie wrath.
Izay mirehareha sy miavonavona no atao hoe mpaniratsira, Dia izay olona fatra-piavonavona.
25 The desire of the slouthfull slayeth him: for his hands refuse to worke.
Ny fanirian’ ny malaina hahafaty azy, Satria ny tànany tsy mety miasa tsinona;
26 He coueteth euermore greedily, but the righteous giueth and spareth not.
Maniry fatratra mandritra ny andro izy; Fa ny marina kosa manome ka tsy mba mahihitra.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more when he bringeth it with a wicked minde?
Ny fanatitry ny ratsy fanahy dia fahavetavetana, Ka indrindra raha amin’ ny sain-dratsy no itondrany azy.
28 A false witnes shall perish: but hee that heareth, speaketh continually.
Ho faty ny vavolombelona mandainga; Fa izay mihaino dia hiteny mandrakariva.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but the iust, he will direct his way.
Ny ratsy fanahy mampiseho ny fahasahisahiany amin’ ny tarehiny; Fa ny marina kosa dia mihevitra izay halehany.
30 There is no wisedome, neither vnderstanding, nor counsell against the Lord.
Tsy misy fahendrena, na fahalalana, Na fisainana mahaleo an’ i Jehovah.
31 The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but saluation is of the Lord.
Voaomana ny soavaly ho amin’ ny andro iadiana; Fa an’ i Jehovah ihany ny fandresena.
