Ohabolana 18
1 Izay mitokana ho azy dia mitady ny mahafinaritra ny tenany ihany, Misafoaka manohitra izay hevitra mahasoa rehetra izy.
He that wole go a wei fro a frend, sekith occasiouns; in al tyme he schal be dispisable.
2 Ny adala tsy mba finaritra amin’ ny fahalalana, Fa ta-haneho izay ao am-pony.
A fool resseyueth not the wordis of prudence; `no but thou seie tho thingis, that ben turned in his herte.
3 Raha avy ny ratsy fanahy, dia avy ny fanamavoana; Ary miaraka amin’ ny fahafaham-baraka ny henatra.
A wickid man, whanne he cometh in to depthe of synnes, dispisith; but sclaundre and schenschipe sueth hym.
4 Rano lalina ny teny aloaky ny vavan’ ny olona, Ary rano miboiboika ny loharanon’ ny fahendrena,
Deep watir is the wordis of the mouth of a man; and a stronde fletinge ouer is the welle of wisdom.
5 Tsy mety raha manohana ny ratsy fanahy Handresy ny marina amin’ ny fitsarana.
It is not good to take the persoone of a wickid man in doom, that thou bowe awei fro the treuthe of dom.
6 Ny molotry ny adala manatona ny fifandirana, Ary ny vavany mihantsy kapoka.
The lippis of a fool medlen hem silf with chidyngis; and his mouth excitith stryues.
7 Ny vavan’ ny adala no fandringanana azy, Ary ny molony ihany no fandriky ny fanahiny.
The mouth of a fool is defoulyng of hym; and hise lippis ben the fallynge of his soule.
8 Ny tenin’ ny mpifosafosa dia toy ny hanim-py Ka mikorotsaka ao anaty kibo indrindra.
The wordis of a double tungid man ben as symple; and tho comen `til to the ynnere thingis of the wombe. Drede castith doun a slowe man; forsothe the soulis of men turned in to wymmens condicioun schulen haue hungur.
9 Ary izay malaina amin’ ny asany Dia rahalahin’ ny mpanimba.
He that is neisch, and vnstidfast in his werk, is the brother of a man distriynge hise werkis.
10 Ny anaran’ i Jehovah dia tilikambo mafy; Ny marina miezaka ho ao aminy ka voavonjy.
A strongeste tour is the name of the Lord; a iust man renneth to hym, and schal be enhaunsid.
11 Ny haren’ ny manan-karena no vohiny mafy, Ary raha araka ny fiheviny, dia toa manda avo izany.
The catel of a riche man is the citee of his strengthe; and as a stronge wal cumpassinge hym.
12 Ny fireharehan’ ny fon’ ny olona mialoha ny fahasimbana; Fa ny fanetren-tena kosa mialoha ny voninahitra.
The herte of man is enhaunsid, bifor that it be brokun; and it is maad meke, bifore that it be glorified.
13 Izay mamaly teny mbola tsy re, Dia hadalana sy henatra ho azy izany.
He that answerith bifore that he herith, shewith hym silf to be a fool; and worthi of schenschipe.
14 Ny faharariany dia zakan’ ny fanahin’ ny olona ihany; Fa ny fanahy kivy, iza no mahazaka izany?
The spirit of a man susteyneth his feblenesse; but who may susteyne a spirit liyt to be wrooth?
15 Ny fon’ ny manan-tsaina mahazo fahalalana; Ary ny sofin’ ny hendry mitady izany.
The herte of a prudent man schal holde stidfastli kunnyng; and the eere of wise men sekith techyng.
16 Ny fanomezan’ ny olona dia mahalalaka ny alehany, Hahatonga azy eo anatrehan’ ny lehibe.
The yift of a man alargith his weie; and makith space to hym bifore princes.
17 Izay mandahatra aloha no toa marina; Fa nony avy kosa ny an-daniny, dia mamaly ny teniny.
A iust man is the first accusere of hym silf; his frend cometh, and schal serche hym.
18 Ny filokana mampitsahatra ady Ary mampisaraka ny samy mahery.
Lot ceessith ayenseiyngis; and demeth also among miyti men.
19 Ny mampionona ny rahalahy voaisy ratsy dia sarotra noho ny manafaka vohitra mafy, Ary ny fifandirana aminy dia tahaka ny hidin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjaka.
A brother that is helpid of a brothir, is as a stidfast citee; and domes ben as the barris of citees.
20 Ny vokatry ny vavan’ ny olona no mahavoky soa azy; Eny, ny vokatry ny molony no mahavoky azy.
A mannus wombe schal be fillid of the fruit of his mouth; and the seedis of hise lippis schulen fille hym.
21 Ny mahafaty sy ny mahavelona samy hain’ ny lela, Koa izay manarana azy dia hihinana ny vokany.
Deth and lijf ben in the werkis of tunge; thei that louen it, schulen ete the fruytis therof.
22 Izay lehilahy mahazo vady dia mahazo zava-tsoa Sady mahita sitraka amin’ i Jehovah.
He that fyndith a good womman, fyndith a good thing; and of the Lord he schal drawe vp myrthe. He that puttith a wey a good womman, puttith awei a good thing; but he that holdith auowtresse, is a fool and vnwijs.
23 Fitarainana no ataon’ ny malahelo; Nefa ny manan-karena kosa dia mamaly mahery.
A pore man schal speke with bisechingis; and a riche man schal speke sterneli.
24 Izay maro sakaiza tsy maintsy tra-pahoriana; Fa misy sakaiza tia, izay mifikitra noho ny rahalahy aza.
A man freendli to felouschipe schal more be a frend, than a brothir.
