Proverbs 9
1 Wisedome hath built her house, and hewen out her seuen pillars.
Fa nandranjy i akiba’ey t’i Hihitse, fa rinamerame’e i faha’e fito rey.
2 She hath killed her vitailes, drawen her wine, and prepared her table.
Fa nandenta, fa linaro’e ty divai’e, fa hinalanka’e i fandambaña’ey.
3 She hath sent forth her maydens and cryeth vpon the highest places of the citie, saying,
Fa nirahe’e o anak’ampata’eo, hikaike boak’ an-digiligin-kaboa’ i rovay ey.
4 Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, she sayth,
O ry tahitahiñe, mitsilea mb’etoa! le hoe re amy seretsey,
5 Come, and eate of my meate, and drinke of the wine that I haue drawen.
Mb’etoa ikamao o hanekoo naho inomo i divay linarokoy,
6 Forsake your way, ye foolish, and ye shall liue: and walke in the way of vnderstanding.
Apoho ty hagegeañe naho miveloma, mañaveloa an-dalan-kilala.
7 He that reproueth a scorner, purchaseth to himselfe shame: and he that rebuketh the wicked, getteth himselfe a blot.
Mizò inje ty mañendake mpanivetive; tendreke joy ty mitrevoke ty lo-tsereke.
8 Rebuke not a scorner, least he hate thee: but rebuke a wise man, and he will loue thee.
Ko mañendake ty mpamokafoka hera halaiñ’azo; Trevohe’o ty mahihitse le hikokoa’e.
9 Giue admonition to the wise, and he will be the wiser: teache a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Anaro o mahihitseo le hiha-mahihitse avao; ampandrendreho ty vantañe le hitombo an-kilala.
10 The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord, and the knowledge of holy things, is vnderstanding.
Ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà ro fifotoran-kihitse, vaho ty fahafohinañe i Masiñey ro faharendrehañe.
11 For thy dayes shalbe multiplied by me, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe augmented.
Zaho ty fampitomboañe o andro’oo, fampitompeañe taoñe o havelo’oo.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe, and if thou be a scorner, thou alone shalt suffer.
Ie mahihitse, hañimbañ’ azo i hihitsey; Ihe manivetive ty hivave izay.
13 A foolish woman is troublesome: she is ignorant, and knoweth nothing.
Mamantsiñe ty rakemba gege, ie tsotra tsy mahafohin-draha,
14 But she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate in the hie places of the citie,
Mitobok’ an-dalam-bein-akiba’e eo, am-pitobohañe amo haboa’ i rovaio,
15 To call them that passe by the way, that go right on their way, saying,
mikaike ze miary eo, amo mañavelo an-kavantañañeo:
16 Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, shee sayth also,
O ry trentrañeo, mitsilea mb’etoa! le hoe re amy tsy aman-kilalay:
17 Stollen waters are sweete, and hid bread is pleasant.
Mamy ty rano nikamereñe, vaho mafiry ty mofo kamaeñe añ’etak’ ao.
