Proverbs 29
1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
Izay olona anarina matetika ka mihamafy hatoka Dia ho torotoro tampoka, ka tsy hisy fahasitranana.
2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
Raha mihamaro ny marina, dia faly ny vahoaka; Fa raha ny ratsy fanahy no manapaka, dia misento kosa izy.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
Izay tia fahendrena no mahafaly ny rainy; Fa izay misakaiza amin’ ny vehivavy janga dia mandany harena.
4 The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
Ny rariny no ampandrian’ ny mpanjaka ny tany; Fa izay mandray tambitamby no mandrava azy kosa.
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
Izay olona mandrobo ny namany Dia mamela-pandrika ny tongony.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
Misy fandrika amin’ ny heloky ny olon-dratsy; Fa ny marina mihoby sy mifaly.
7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
Ny marina mihevitra ny adin’ ny malahelo; Fa ny ratsy fanahy tsy hahalala fahendrena.
8 Scornful men set a city in a blaze; but wise men turn away wrath.
Ny mpaniratsira mampihotakotaka ny tanàna; Fa ny hendry mampionona fahatezerana.
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
Raha iadian’ ny hendry ny adala, Dia tezitra sy mihomehy izy, ka tsy hisy fitsaharana.
10 The men of blood hate him that is sincere; and as for the upright, they seek his life.
Ny olona mpandatsa-drà mankahala ny tsy misy tsiny; Fa ny mahitsy kosa miahy ny ainy.
11 A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
Ny fahatezeran’ ny adala dia avoakany avokoa; Fa ny hendry kosa manindry fo.
12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
Raha mihaino lainga ny mpanapaka, Dia ho ratsy fanahy ny mpanompony rehetra.
13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
Mihaona ny malahelo sy ny mpampahory; Jehovah no manazava ny mason’ izy roa tonta.
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
Izay mpanjaka mitsara marina ny malahelo, Dia haharitra mandrakizay ny seza fiandrianany.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
Ny tsorakazo sy ny anatra no manome fahendrena; Fa ny zaza aranana mampahamenatra ny reniny.
16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
Raha maro ny ratsy fanahy, dia mitombo ny ota; Fa ny marina ho faly mahita ny fahalavoany.
17 Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
Faizo ny zanakao, dia ho famelombelomana ny fonao izy Sy ho fifalian’ ny fanahinao.
18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Raha tsy misy fahitana, dia atondraka hanaram-po amin’ izay tsy mety ny olona; Fa raha mitandrina ny lalàna kosa izy, dia sambatra.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
Raha teny fotsiny ihany, dia tsy ampy hananarana ny mpanompo; Fa na dia fantany aza, tsy hankatoaviny.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
Hitanao va ny olona faingam-bava? Ny adala aza misy hantenaina kokoa noho izy.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
Ny mpanompo izay nampihantaina hatry ny fony mbola kely Dia hihambo ho zanaka any am-parany.
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
Ny olona mora tezitra manetsika ady; Ary ny olona masiaka dia be fahadisoana.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
Ny fiavonavonan’ ny olona no hampietry azy; Fa hahazo voninahitra kosa ny manetry tena.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
Izay miray tetika amin’ ny mpangalatra dia manary tena; Mandre ny fampianianana izy, nefa tsy mety milaza.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
Mamandrika ny tahotra olona; Fa izay matoky an’ i Jehovah no hovonjena.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but a man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
Maro no mila sitraka amin’ ny mpanapaka; Fa avy amin’ i Jehovah ny fitsarana ny olona.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
Ny meloka dia fahavetavetana eo imason’ ny marina; Ary ny mahitsy lalana dia mba fahavetavetana eo imason’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa.
