Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
Ny Ohabolan’ i Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely:
2 to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
Hahalalana fahendrena sy fananarana, Ary hahafantarana ny tenin’ ny fahalalana;
3 to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;
Hahazoana fananarana mampahahendry, Dia fahamarinana sy rariny ary fahitsiana;
4 to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man—
Hanomezam-pahendrena ho an’ ny kely saina, Ary fahalalana sy fisainana mazava ho an’ ny zatovo.
5 that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel;
Aoka ny hendry hihaino ka hitombo saina; Ary aoka ny manam-panahy hahazo fitarihana tsara;
6 to understand a proverb and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.
Hahafantarana ohabolana sy fanoharana, Ary ny tenin’ ny hendry sy ny teny saro-pantarina ataony.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
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 My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching;
Anaka, mihainoa ny ana-drainao, Ary aza mahafoy ny lalàn-dreninao;
9 for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.
Fa fehiloha tsara tarehy amin’ ny lohanao izany, Ary rado amin’ ny vozonao.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.
Anaka, raha taomin’ ny mpanota ianao, Aza manaiky.
11 If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
Raha hoy izy: Andeha hiaraka isika, Aoka isika hanotrika handatsa-drà; Andeha hamitsahantsika tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana ny tsy manan-tsiny;
12 Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into 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 We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.
Dia ho azontsika ny fananana sarobidy rehetra, Ka hofenointsika babo ny tranontsika;
14 You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse”—
Avia mba hiara-miloka eto aminay; Aoka ho iray ihany ny kitapom-bolantsika rehetra:
15 my son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,
Anaka, aza miara-dalana aminy ianao; Arovy ny tongotrao tsy hankamin’ ny alehany;
16 for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
Fa ny tongony mihazakazaka ho amin’ ny ratsy Sady faingana handatsa-drà.
17 For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;
Fa velarim-poana ny fandrika, Raha hitan’ ny vorona.
18 but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
Fa ireny dia manotrika handatsaka ny ran’ ny tenany ihany; Mamitsaka hahafaty ny tenany ihany izy.
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
Toy izany no iafaran’ izay rehetra fatra-pila harena; Fa hipaoka ny ain’ izay fatra-pila azy izany.
20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
Ny fahendrena miantso mafy eny ivelany; Manandratra ny feony eny an-kalalahana izy;
21 She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
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, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools 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 Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. 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 have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
Satria efa niantso Aho, fa nandà ianareo; Efa naninjitra ny tanako Aho, fa tsy nisy nitandrina;
25 but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;
Fa nolavinareo ny saina rehetra natolotro, Sady tsy nety nanaiky ny anatro ianareo:
26 I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you,
Izaho kosa hihomehy, raha tonga ny fandringanana anareo; Handatsa Aho, raha tonga ny mahatahotra anareo.
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.
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 they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will 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 didn’t choose the fear of the LORD.
Satria nankahala ny fahalalana izy Ary tsy nifidy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah,
30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
Tsy nekeny ny saina natolotro, Notsiratsirainy avokoa ny anatro rehetra,
31 Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.
Dia hihinana ny vokatry ny alehany izy Ka ho voky ny fihendreny.
32 For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
Fa ny fihemoran’ ny kely saina hahafaty azy, Ary ny fiadanan’ ny adala handringana azy.
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”
Fa izay mihaino Ahy kosa hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy, Eny, handry fahizay izy ka tsy hatahotra ny ratsy.
