Proverbs 19
1 Better is a poor man, walking in his integrity, than one of perverse lips, and, he, a dullard.
Tsara ny malahelo mandeha tsy misy tsiny Noho izay mandainga amin’ ny molony sady adala.
2 Surely, for the soul to be, without knowledge, is not good, and, he that hasteth with his feet, strayeth.
Tsy tsara raha tsy manam-pahalalana ny fanahy; Ary izay miezaka mosalahy dia ho diso lalana.
3 The folly of a man, subverteth his way, and, against Yahweh, his heart is angry.
Ny fahadalan’ ny olona no mahasimba ny alehany, Ka amin’ i Jehovah no sosotra ny fony.
4 Wealth, addeth many friends, but, the poor man, from his own friend, is parted.
Ny harena mahamaro sakaiza; Fa ny malahelo afoin’ ny sakaizany.
5 A false witness, shall not be held innocent, and, he that uttereth lies, shall not escape.
Ny vavolombelona mandainga tsy ho afa-tsiny, Ary izay mamoaka lainga tsy ho afa-miala.
6 Many, will entreat the favour of a noble, and, every one, is a friend to a man abounding in gifts.
Maro no mandambolambo andriana; Ary ny olona rehetra samy misakaiza amin’ izay mpanome zavatra.
7 All the brethren of a poor man, hate him, how much more have, his friends, gone far from him, he may hunt up promises—there are none.
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 that acquireth sense, loveth his own soul, he that guardeth understanding, shall find blessing.
Izay mihary fahendrena no tia ny tenany, Ary izay mitandrina fahalalana hahita soa.
9 A false witness, shall not be held innocent, and, he that uttereth lies, shall perish.
Ny vavolombelona mandainga tsy maintsy hampijalina, Ary ny miteny lainga ho very.
10 Unseemly for a dullard, is delicate living, how much more for, a servant, to bear 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, deferreth his anger, and, his adorning, is to pass over transgression.
Ny fahendren’ ny olona manindry ny fahatezerany, Ary voninahitra ho azy ny tsy mamaly fahadisoana.
12 The growl as of a young lion, is the rage of a king, but, like dew upon the grass, is his good pleasure.
Ny fahatezeran’ ny mpanjaka dia toy ny fieron’ ny liona tanora: Fa ny fitiany kosa toy ny ando amin’ ny ahitra.
13 Engulfing ruin to his father, is a son that is a dullard, —and, a continuous dripping, are the contentions of a wife.
Ny zanaka adala mahabe fahoriana ny rainy; Ary ny ady ataon’ ny vehivavy dia toy ny rano mitete mandrakariva.
14 House and substance, are an inheritance from one’s fathers, but, from Yahweh, cometh a wife who is prudent.
Trano sy harena no lova avy amin’ ny ray; Fa ny vady hendry kosa dia avy amin’ i Jehovah.
15 Sloth, falleth into a deep sleep, and, a soul that is indolent, shall famish.
Ny hakamoana mahasondrian-tory, Ary ho mosarena ny olona malaina.
16 One who guardeth the commandment, guardeth his life, he that is reckless in his ways, shall die.
Izay mitandrina ny didy mitandrina ny ainy; Fa izay tsy mihevitra ny alehany dia ho faty.
17 A lender to Yahweh, is one who sheweth favour to the poor, and, his good deed, He will pay him back.
Izay miantra ny malahelo dia mampisambotra an’ i Jehovah, Ary izay nomeny dia honerany kosa.
18 Correct thy son, because there is hope, yet, not so as to slay him, let thy passion be excited.
Faizo ny zanakao, fa mbola misy azo antenaina ihany, Nefa aza dia entim-po loatra, fandrao mahafaty azy.
19 A man in a rage, taketh away the penalty, —nevertheless, if thou let him go free, the more [stripes] must thou add.
Ny lozabe tsy maintsy hampijalina; Ary na dia vonjenao aza izy, dia mbola hanahirana anao ihany indray.
20 Hear counsel, receive correction, that thou mayest be wise in thine after-life.
Henoy ny saina atolotra, ary raiso ny fananarana, Mba ho hendry ianao amin’ izay hiafaranao.
21 Many are the devices in a man’s heart, but, the counsel of Yahweh, that, shall stand.
Maro ny hevitra ao am-pon’ ny olona; Fa ny fisainan’ i Jehovah no haharitra.
22 The charm of a man, is his lovingkindness, —and better a poor man, than one who deceiveth.
Fifaliana amin’ ny olona ny manisy soa; Ary aleo ho malahelo toy izay ho mpandainga.
23 The reverence of Yahweh, leadeth to life, satisfied then, let a man remain—let him not be visited by calamity.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah no ahazoana fiainana; Izay manana izany tsy mba handry fotsy sady tsy hiharan-doza.
24 A sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, even unto his own mouth, will he not bring it back.
Ny malaina dia mangarona ny eo an-dovia amin’ ny tànany, Nefa ny mampakatra azy ho amin’ ny vavany dia tsy zakany.
25 The scoffer, thou shalt smite, and, the simple, will beware, but correct a man of intelligence—he will understand teaching.
Kapohy ny mpaniratsira, dia ho hendry ny kely saina; Ary anaro ny manan-tsaina, dia hahalala fahendrena izy.
26 He that ruineth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son causing shame and reproach.
Izay mitohatoha amin-drainy sy mandroaka ny reniny Dia zanaka mahamenatra sy mahafa-baraka.
27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction that would cause thee to wander from the sayings of knowledge.
Anaka, mitsahara tsy hihaino anatra Izay mampanalavitra anao ny tenin’ ny fahalalana.
28 An abandoned witness, scorneth justice, and, the mouth of lawless men, swalloweth iniquity.
Ny vavolombelona ratsy maniratsira ny fitsarana; Ary ny vavan’ ny ratsy fanahy mitelina ny ratsy.
29 Prepared for scoffers, are punishments, and stripes, for the back of dullards.
Vonona ho amin’ ny mpaniratsira ny fanamelohana, Ary ny kapoka ho amin’ ny lamosin’ ny adala.
