Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, King of Israel:
Ny Ohabolan’ i Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely:
2 For the knowledge of wisdom and correction, for discerning the sayings of intelligence;
Hahalalana fahendrena sy fananarana, Ary hahafantarana ny tenin’ ny fahalalana;
3 For receiving the correction of prudence, righteousness and justice, and equity;
Hahazoana fananarana mampahahendry, Dia fahamarinana sy rariny ary fahitsiana;
4 For giving To the simple shrewdness, To the young man, knowledge and discretion.
Hanomezam-pahendrena ho an’ ny kely saina, Ary fahalalana sy fisainana mazava ho an’ ny zatovo.
5 A wise man, will hear, and will increase learning, and a, discreet man, wise counsels, will acquire,
Aoka ny hendry hihaino ka hitombo saina; Ary aoka ny manam-panahy hahazo fitarihana tsara;
6 By gaining discernment of proverb, and satire, the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
Hahafantarana ohabolana sy fanoharana, Ary ny tenin’ ny hendry sy ny teny saro-pantarina ataony.
7 The reverence of Yahweh, is the beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and correction, the foolish have despised.
Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah no fiandoham-pahalalana; Fa ny adala manamavo ny fahendrena sy ny famaizana. Fananarana tsy hikambana amin’ ny mpanao ratsy.
8 Hear, my son, the correction of thy father, and do not reject the instruction of thy mother;
Anaka, mihainoa ny ana-drainao, Ary aza mahafoy ny lalàn-dreninao;
9 For, a wreath of beauty, shall they be to thy head, and chains of ornament, to thy neck.
Fa fehiloha tsara tarehy amin’ ny lohanao izany, Ary rado amin’ ny vozonao.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent.
Anaka, raha taomin’ ny mpanota ianao, Aza manaiky.
11 If they say—Come with us, —Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent;
Raha hoy izy: Andeha hiaraka isika, Aoka isika hanotrika handatsa-drà; Andeha hamitsahantsika tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana ny tsy manan-tsiny;
12 Let us engulf them, like hades, alive, While in health, like them who are going down to the pit; (Sheol h7585)
Aoka isika hitelina azy velona tahaka ny fitelin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita Ary hanao azy teli-moka toy ny latsaka any an-davaka; (Sheol h7585)
13 All costly substance, shall we find, We shall fill our houses with spoil;
Dia ho azontsika ny fananana sarobidy rehetra, Ka hofenointsika babo ny tranontsika;
14 Thy lot, shalt thou cast into our midst, One purse, shall there be, for us all.
Avia mba hiara-miloka eto aminay; Aoka ho iray ihany ny kitapom-bolantsika rehetra:
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path.
Anaka, aza miara-dalana aminy ianao; Arovy ny tongotrao tsy hankamin’ ny alehany;
16 For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood.
Fa ny tongony mihazakazaka ho amin’ ny ratsy Sady faingana handatsa-drà.
17 Surely, in vain, is spread the net, in the sight of aught that hath wings!
Fa velarim-poana ny fandrika, Raha hitan’ ny vorona.
18 Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life.
Fa ireny dia manotrika handatsaka ny ran’ ny tenany ihany; Mamitsaka hahafaty ny tenany ihany izy.
19 Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away!
Toy izany no iafaran’ izay rehetra fatra-pila harena; Fa hipaoka ny ain’ izay fatra-pila azy izany.
20 Wisdom, in the open place, soundeth forth, in the broadways, she raiseth her voice;
Ny fahendrena miantso mafy eny ivelany; Manandratra ny feony eny an-kalalahana izy;
21 At the head of bustling streets, she crieth aloud, —at the openings of the gates in the city—her sayings, she doth utter: —
Mitory ao amin’ izay fivorian’ ny maro be mireondreona izy; Eo anoloan’ ny vavahady sy ao an-tanàna no ilazany ny teniny hoe:
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge?
Ry kely saina, mandra-pahoviana no hitiavanareo ny fahadalana, Sy hifalian’ ny mpaniratsira amin’ ny faniratsirana, Ary hankahalan’ ny adala ny fahalalana?
23 Will ye turn, at my reproof? Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit, I will make known my words to you.
Miverena ianareo hihaino ny fananarako; Indro, haidiko aminareo ny fanahiko, Ary hampahafantariko anareo ny teniko.
24 Because I called, and ye refused, I stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;
Satria efa niantso Aho, fa nandà ianareo; Efa naninjitra ny tanako Aho, fa tsy nisy nitandrina;
25 But ye dismissed all my counsel, and, to my rebuke, would not yield,
Fa nolavinareo ny saina rehetra natolotro, Sady tsy nety nanaiky ny anatro ianareo:
26 I also, at your calamity, will laugh, I will mock, when cometh your dread;
Izaho kosa hihomehy, raha tonga ny fandringanana anareo; Handatsa Aho, raha tonga ny mahatahotra anareo.
27 When cometh as a crashing your dread, and, your calamity, as a storm-wind, overtaketh, when there come upon you, distress and anguish.
Raha tonga ny zava-mahatahotra anareo tahaka ny rivo-doza Ary ny fandringanana anareo toy ny tadio, Ka manjo anareo ny fahoriana sy ny fangirifiriana,
28 Then, will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but shall not find me.
Dia vao hiantso Ahy izy, fa tsy hamaly Aho; Dia vao hitady Ahy fatratra izy, fa tsy ho hitany Aho.
29 Because they hated knowledge, and, the reverence of Yahweh, did not choose;
Satria nankahala ny fahalalana izy Ary tsy nifidy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah,
30 Consented not to my counsel, disdained all my rebuke,
Tsy nekeny ny saina natolotro, Notsiratsirainy avokoa ny anatro rehetra,
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and, with their own counsels, be filled.
Dia hihinana ny vokatry ny alehany izy Ka ho voky ny fihendreny.
32 For, the turning away of the simple, will slay them, —and, the carelessness of dullards, will destroy them.
Fa ny fihemoran’ ny kely saina hahafaty azy, Ary ny fiadanan’ ny adala handringana azy.
33 Whereas, he that hearkeneth unto me, shall dwell safely, and be at rest, without dread of misfortune.
Fa izay mihaino Ahy kosa hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy, Eny, handry fahizay izy ka tsy hatahotra ny ratsy.
