Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
Tsara ny malahelo mandeha tsy misy tsiny Noho izay mandainga amin’ ny molony sady adala.
2 It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.
Tsy tsara raha tsy manam-pahalalana ny fanahy; Ary izay miezaka mosalahy dia ho diso lalana.
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Jehovah.
Ny fahadalan’ ny olona no mahasimba ny alehany, Ka amin’ i Jehovah no sosotra ny fony.
4 Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
Ny harena mahamaro sakaiza; Fa ny malahelo afoin’ ny sakaizany.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
Ny vavolombelona mandainga tsy ho afa-tsiny, Ary izay mamoaka lainga tsy ho afa-miala.
6 Many will seek the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
Maro no mandambolambo andriana; Ary ny olona rehetra samy misakaiza amin’ izay mpanome zavatra.
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him: how much more do his friends avoid him. He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
Ny malahelo dia halan’ ny rahalahiny rehetra, Koa mainka fa ny sakaizany tsy hanalavitra azy va? Manandrandra amin’ ny teny tsy misy izy.
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
Izay mihary fahendrena no tia ny tenany, Ary izay mitandrina fahalalana hahita soa.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
Ny vavolombelona mandainga tsy maintsy hampijalina, Ary ny miteny lainga ho very.
10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
Ny ho velona amin’ ny fahafinaretana dia tsy tandrifiny ho an’ ny adala, Koa mainka izay hanapahan’ ny mpanompo ny zanak’ andriana.
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
Ny fahendren’ ny olona manindry ny fahatezerany, Ary voninahitra ho azy ny tsy mamaly fahadisoana.
12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
Ny fahatezeran’ ny mpanjaka dia toy ny fieron’ ny liona tanora: Fa ny fitiany kosa toy ny ando amin’ ny ahitra.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping.
Ny zanaka adala mahabe fahoriana ny rainy; Ary ny ady ataon’ ny vehivavy dia toy ny rano mitete mandrakariva.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
Trano sy harena no lova avy amin’ ny ray; Fa ny vady hendry kosa dia avy amin’ i Jehovah.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Ny hakamoana mahasondrian-tory, Ary ho mosarena ny olona malaina.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
Izay mitandrina ny didy mitandrina ny ainy; Fa izay tsy mihevitra ny alehany dia ho faty.
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to Jehovah; he will reward him.
Izay miantra ny malahelo dia mampisambotra an’ i Jehovah, Ary izay nomeny dia honerany kosa.
18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
Faizo ny zanakao, fa mbola misy azo antenaina ihany, Nefa aza dia entim-po loatra, fandrao mahafaty azy.
19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
Ny lozabe tsy maintsy hampijalina; Ary na dia vonjenao aza izy, dia mbola hanahirana anao ihany indray.
20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
Henoy ny saina atolotra, ary raiso ny fananarana, Mba ho hendry ianao amin’ izay hiafaranao.
21 There are many plans in a man's heart, but Jehovah's counsel will prevail.
Maro ny hevitra ao am-pon’ ny olona; Fa ny fisainan’ i Jehovah no haharitra.
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
Fifaliana amin’ ny olona ny manisy soa; Ary aleo ho malahelo toy izay ho mpandainga.
23 The fear of Jehovah leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah no ahazoana fiainana; Izay manana izany tsy mba handry fotsy sady tsy hiharan-doza.
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
Ny malaina dia mangarona ny eo an-dovia amin’ ny tànany, Nefa ny mampakatra azy ho amin’ ny vavany dia tsy zakany.
25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
Kapohy ny mpaniratsira, dia ho hendry ny kely saina; Ary anaro ny manan-tsaina, dia hahalala fahendrena izy.
26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother, is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
Izay mitohatoha amin-drainy sy mandroaka ny reniny Dia zanaka mahamenatra sy mahafa-baraka.
27 If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
Anaka, mitsahara tsy hihaino anatra Izay mampanalavitra anao ny tenin’ ny fahalalana.
28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
Ny vavolombelona ratsy maniratsira ny fitsarana; Ary ny vavan’ ny ratsy fanahy mitelina ny ratsy.
29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
Vonona ho amin’ ny mpaniratsira ny fanamelohana, Ary ny kapoka ho amin’ ny lamosin’ ny adala.
