Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
Ny ratsy fanahy mandositra, na dia tsy misy manenjika aza; Fa ny marina kosa dia matoky toy ny liona tanora.
2 For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
Ny fahotan’ ny tany mahamaro mpanapaka; Fa ny fisian’ ny olona manan-tsaina kosa no mampahateza ny fanjakana.
3 A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
Ny malahelo izay mampahory ny mahantra Dia toy ny ranonorana izay manindao ka tsy maha-misy hanina.
4 They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
Izay mahafoy ny lalàna dia mandoka ny ratsy fanahy; Fa izay mitandrina ny lalàna dia mirehitra amin’ ny fanoherana azy.
5 Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
Ny ratsy fanahy dia tsy mahalala rariny; Fa izay mitady an’ i Jehovah no mahalala ny zavatra rehetra.
6 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.
Ny malahelo izay mandeha amin’ ny fahitsiany Dia tsara noho ny manan-karena izay mivadika ka mandeha amin’ ny lalana miolikolika.
7 He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.
Izay mitandrina ny lalàna no zanaka hendry; Fa izay misakaiza amin’ ny mpandany harena dia manome henatra ny rainy.
8 He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
Izay mampitombo ny fananany amin’ ny zana-bola sy ny tombony Dia mamory ho an’ izay miantra ny malahelo
9 He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
Izay manentsin-tadiny tsy hihaino ny lalàna, Na ny fivavahany aza dia fahavetavetana.
10 He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
Izay mampivily ny mahitsy ho amin’ ny lalan-dratsy Dia ho lavo amin’ ny lavaka nataony; Fa ny tsy misy tsiny no handova ny soa.
11 The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
Ny manan-karena manao azy ho hendry; Fa ny malahelo izay manan-tsaina dia hizaha toetra azy.
12 When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.
Raha ravoravo ny marina, dia be ny famirapiratana; Fa raha misandratra kosa ny ratsy fanahy, dia miery ny vahoaka.
13 He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.
Izay manafina ny fahotany tsy hambinina; Fa izay mitsotra ka mahafoy azy no hahazo famindram-po.
14 Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.
Sambatra izay olona matahotra mandrakariva; Fa izay manamafy ny fony no hidiran-doza.
15 As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
Liona mierona sy bera miremby Ny mpanapaka ratsy fanahy amin’ ny olona reraka.
16 A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
Ny mpanapaka tsy ampy saina dia mahery mampahory; Izay mankahala ny fieremana no ho ela velona.
17 A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.
Izay itambesaran-keloka noho ny fandatsahan-drà dia handositra hatrany an-davaka; Aoka tsy hisy hihazona azy.
18 He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.
Izay mandeha tsy misy tsiny no ho voavonjy; Fa izay mivadika ka mandeha amin’ ny lalana miolikolika no ho lavo tampoka.
19 He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.
Izay miasa ny taniny dia ho voky hanina Fa izay manaraka ny olom-poana ho voky alahelo kosa.
20 A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent.
Izay olona mahatoky tokoa dia ho be fitahiana; Fa izay maimay ta-hanan-karena dia tsy maintsy hohelohina.
21 To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread.
Tsy mety raha mizaha tavan’ olona; Kanefa na dia amin’ ny sombin-kanina ihany aza dia sahin’ ny olona hanotana.
22 A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him.
Ny mpialona dia maimay ta-hanan-karena; Tsy fantany fa hanjo azy ny alahelo.
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
Izay mananatra olona no hahazo fitia be rahatrizay Noho izay mandrobo amin’ ny lelany.
24 Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.
Izay mandroba ray sy reny Ka manao hoe: Tsy heloka izany, Dia naman’ ny mpanimba.
25 He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
Izay mierina manetsika ady; Fa izay matoky an’ i Jehovah dia hohatavezina.
26 Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.
Izay matoky ny fony dia adala; Fa izay mandeha amin’ ny fahendrena no ho afa-miala.
27 He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.
Izay manome ny malahelo tsy hanan-java-mahory; Fa izay mitampi-maso hahazo ozona be;
28 When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
Raha misandratra ny ratsy fanahy, dia miery ny vahoaka; Fa raha ringana kosa izy, dia mihamaro ny marina.
