Proverbs 23
1 If you will sit down to eat with a ruler carefully you will consider [that] which [is] before you.
Ie miambesatse hitrao-pikama ami’ty mpifehe, biribirio ty añatrefa’o eo,
2 And you will put a knife in throat your if [are] a master of appetite you.
vaho tohoro meso ty tretra’o naho mpanao avetse irehe.

Ko ahànkañe ami’ty ana’o ty lilo; fa tsy mahavetrake ty lafan-kobaiñe.
Ie pisoe’o an-kobaiñe, ho haha’o an tsikeokeok’ ao ty tro’e. (Sheol h7585)
15 O son my if it is wise heart your it will rejoice heart my also I.
O anako, naho mahihitse ty tro’o, ho ehake ty troko,

35 They struck me not I am sick they beat me not I know when? will I awake I will repeat I will seek it again.
Namofok’ ahy iereo, fe tsy manaintaiñe; linafa’e fe tsy nireiko! Ombia te ho tsekake hipaiako indraike?
