Proverbs 13
1 A wise son, [cometh of] a father’s correction, but, a scoffer, heareth not a rebuke.
Ny zanaka hendry mihaino ny fananaran-drainy; Fa ny mpaniratsira tsy mety mihaino, na dia anarina mafy aza.
2 Of the fruit of his mouth, shall a man eat what is good, but, the soul of the treacherous, [shall be sated with] violence.
Ny vokatry ny vavan’ ny olona no ahazoany soa; Fa ny hampidi-doza no mahafaly ny mpivadika.
3 He that watcheth his mouth, guardeth his soul, He that openeth wide his lips, [it shall be] his ruin.
Izay mahambim-bava no miaro ny ainy; Fa izay vavàna dia haringana.
4 The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.
Ny fanahin’ ny kamo maniry, fa tsy mba mahazo; Fa ny fanahin’ ny mazoto hohatavezina.
5 A word of falsehood, the righteous man, hateth, but, the lawless, causeth shame and disgrace.
Ny lainga dia halan’ ny marina; Fa ny ratsy fanahy manao izay maharikoriko sy mahamenatra.
6 Righteousness, guardeth the man of blameless way, but, lawlessness, overthroweth the sinner.
Ny fahamarinana miaro izay mandeha tsy misy tsiny; Fa ny haratsiana mamotraka ny mpanota.
7 There is who feigneth himself rich, yet hath nothing at all, who pleadeth poverty, yet hath great substance.
Misy mihambo ho manan-karena, nefa tsy manana na inona na inona; Misy kosa mody malahelo, nefa manana harena be.
8 The ransom of a man’s life, is his wealth, but, the poor, heareth not rebuke.
Ny haren’ ny olona dia avotry ny ainy; Fa ny levilevy tsy mampiraika ny malahelo akory.
9 The light of the righteous, rejoiceth, but, the lamp of the lawless, goeth out.
Ny fahazavan’ ny marina dia tsara firehitra; Fa ny jiron’ ny ratsy fanahy ho faty.
10 Only by pride, doth one cause contention, but, with the well-advised, is wisdom.
Fifandirana ihany no vokatry ny fiavonavonana; Fa ao amin’ ny mino anatra no misy fahendrena.
11 Wealth gotten by greed, diminisheth, but, he that gathereth by little, increaseth.
Ny harena azoazo foana dia mihena lalandava; Fa izay mahavatra mitsimpona no mampitombo.
12 Hope deferred, sickeneth the heart, —but, a tree of life, is desire fulfilled.
Ny fanantenana tsy azo vetivety dia mankarary am-bavafo; Fa hazon’ aina ny faniriana tanteraka.
13 He that despiseth a matter, shall get pledged thereto, but, he that revereth a commandment, the same shall be recompensed.
Izay manamavo ny teny ho voasingony; Fa izay matahotra ny didy no hahazo valim-pitia.
14 the instruction of the wise, is a well-spring of life, by departing from the snares of death.
Ny fampianaran’ ny hendry dia loharanon’ aina Ka mampivily tsy ho ao amin’ ny fandriky ny fahafatesana.
15 Sound discretion, yieldeth favour, but, the way of the treacherous, is rugged.
Ny fahendrena tsara dia ahazoam-pitia; Fa sarotra ny lalan’ ny mpivadika.
16 Every prudent man, maketh use of knowledge, but, a dullard, spreadeth folly.
Ny mahira-tsaina, rehetra miasa amin’ ny fahalalana; Fa ny adala kosa mampiseho hadalana;
17 A lawless messenger, falleth into mischief, but, a faithful herald, bringeth healing.
Ny iraka ratsy fanahy idiran-doza; Fa ny iraka mahatoky dia famelombelomana.
18 Poverty and contempt, are for him that neglecteth correction, but, he that regardeth reproof, shall be honoured.
Fahalahelovana sy henatra no ho an’ izay mandà famaizana; Fa izay manaiky anatra no homem-boninahitra.
19 A desire fulfilled, is sweet to the soul, but it is, an abomination to the lawless, to depart from evil.
Mamin’ ny fo ny faniriana tanteraka; Fa fahavetavetana eo imason’ ny adala ny hiala amin’ ny ratsy.
20 He that walketh with the wise, becometh wise, but, the friend of dullards, becometh foolish.
Izay miara-dia amin’ ny hendry dia ho hendry; Fa izay misakaiza amin’ ny adala dia hidiran-doza.
21 Evil pursueth, sinners, but, unto the righteous, shall good be recompensed.
Ny mpanota dia enjehin’ ny loza: Fa hovalian-tsoa ny marina.
22 A good man, leaveth an inheritance to children’s children, but, laid up for the righteous, is the wealth of the sinner.
Ny tsara fanahy mahenina lova ny zafiny, Fa ny haren’ ny mpanota kosa voatahiry ho an’ ny marina.
23 Much food, is in the fallow ground of the poor, but there is that is swept away, for want of justice.
Ny tanin’ ny malahelo izay voasa dia ahazoana hanina be; Fa maro no ringana noho ny fanaovan’ izay tsy rariny.
24 He that withholdeth his rod, hateth his son, —but, he that loveth him, carefully correcteth him.
Izay mitsitsy ny tsorakazony dia tsy tia ny zanany; Fa izay tia zanaka dia manafay azy, raha mbola kely.
25 The righteous, eateth to satisfy his appetite, but, the belly of the lawless, shall want.
Ny marina mihinana ka voky tsara; Fa noana ny kibon’ ny ratsy fanahy.
