< Proverbs 10 >

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
O razan-dreha’ i Selomòo. Mahaehak’ an-drae ty anake karafito, fe mañore an-drene’e ty anadahy gege.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
Tsy manjofake ty vara niazo an-kalo-tsere’e, fa mañaha an-kavilasy ty havantañañe.
3 Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Tsy apo’ Iehovà ho saliko ty vañoñe, fe aveve’e ty hadrao’ o lo-tserekeo.
4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
Minday hararahañe ty satan-taña migebañe, fe mampañaleale ty fità’ i mavitrikey.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
Anake mahihitse ty manontoñe ami’ty asara, fe minday hasalarañe ty anake miroro am-pitatahañe.
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Fitahiañe ro añambone’ o vantañeo, fe mañeta-piaroteñe ty vava’ o lo-tserekeo.
7 The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
Mahahaha ty fitiahiañe o vantañeo, fe hihomake ty añara’ o lo-tserekeo.
8 The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.
Mañaon-dily ty arofo’ o mahihitseo, fe hianto ty gege mitolom-bolañe.
9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
Midraidraitse am-panintsiñañe ty mpañavelo an-kavañonañe, fe ho fohiñe ty mitsontike an-dala mikelokeloke.
10 One who winks with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.
Mampioremeñe ty mañieke, vaho ho gorèñe ty gege mivolambolañe.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Tsiritsiriohen-kaveloñe ty falie’ o vañoñeo, fe mañeta-piaroteñe ty vava’ o lo-tserekeo,
12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
Mitrobo fifandierañe ty falaiñañe, fe mandembeke ze atao fiolàñe ty fikokoañe.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
Tendrek’ am-pivimbi’ o mahilalao ty hihitse, fe mañeva ty lambosi’ i po-hilalay ty kobaiñe.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
Mañaja hilala o mahihitseo, fe antitotse ty fiantoañe ty vava’ o dagolao.
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Kijoly maozatse ty varam-pañaleale; fampiantoañe o rarakeo ty hapoia’iareo.
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
Havelo ty tambe’ o vantañeo, vaho fandilovañe ty karama’ o lo-tserekeo.
17 He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
Mañori-dàlan-kaveloñe ty mañaoñ’ anatse, fe mandridrike ty tsy mipaok’endake.
18 He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
Aman-tsoñy mandañitse ty mañetake falaiñañe, vaho gege ty mampiboele dramotse.
19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
Tsy po-tahiñe ty maro rehake, mahihitse ka ty maha-tam-pivimby.
20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
Volafoty hiringiri’e ty famele’ o vantañeo; fe tsy vente’e ty tro’ o lo-tserekeo.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
Mamahañe maro ty fivimbi’ o vantañeo, fe mampivetrake ty dagola te tsy aman-kilala.
22 Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
Ty fitahia’ Iehovà ro mampañaleale, vaho tsy tovoña’e anahelo.
23 It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
Fihisà’ ty seretse ty mikilily, fe hihitse ty ho amy t’indaty mahilala.
24 What the wicked fear will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
Hifetsak’ amy lo-tserekey ty ihembaña’e, fe hatolotse amy vantañey ty fisalalà’e.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.
Ie misaok’ añe ty talio, tsy eo ka i lo-tserekey, fe mijadoñe nainai’e o vañoñeo.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
Hoe kile amo fihitsikeo, naho hatoeñe amo fihainoo, ty tembo amo mpañirak’ azeo.
27 The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
Fañalavañe andro ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà, fe ho tomoreñe ty tao’o lo-tserekeo.
28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.
Hafaleañe ty fisalala’o vantañeo, fe ho modo ty fitamà’ o lo-tserekeo.
29 The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
Rova maozats’ amo mahitio ty làla’ Iehovà, f’ie firotsahañe amo mpanao ratio.
30 The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
Le lia’e tsy hasiotse o vantañeo, fe tsy himoneña’ o tsereheñeo i taney.
31 The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
Mamoa hihitse ty falie’ o vañoñeo, fe haitoañe ty lela mitera.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
Apota’ ty fivimbi’ o mahitio ze mete akareñe, fe mengoke ty vava’ o lo-tserekeo.
