Ohabolana 17
1 Tsara ny sombi-mofo maina misy fiadanana Noho ny trano feno hena misy fifandirana.
Betere is a drie mussel with ioye, than an hous ful of sacrifices with chidyng.
2 Ny mpanompo hendry dia hanapaka ny zanaka manao izay mahamenatra Sady hizara lova amin’ ny mpirahalahy.
A wijs seruaunt schal be lord of fonned sones; and he schal departe eritage among britheren.
3 Ny memy ho an’ ny volafotsy, ary ny fatana fandrendrehana ho an’ ny volamena; Fa Jehovah ihany no Mpamantatra ny fo.
As siluer is preued bi fier, and gold is preued bi a chymnei, so the Lord preueth hertis.
4 Ny mpanao ratsy mampandry sofina amin’ ny molotra mandainga; Ary ny mpandainga mihaino ny lela mampidi-doza.
An yuel man obeieth to a wickid tunge; and a fals man obeieth to false lippis.
5 Izay mihomehy ny malahelo manala baraka ny Mpanao azy; Ary izay faly amin’ ny fahorian’ ny sasany dia tsy maintsy hampijalina.
He that dispisith a pore man, repreueth his maker; and he that is glad in the fallyng of another man, schal not be vnpunyschid.
6 Satroboninahitry ny antitra ny zafiny; Ary voninahitry ny zanaka ny rainy.
The coroun of elde men is the sones of sones; and the glorie of sones is the fadris of hem.
7 Ny teny jadona tsy tandrifiny halahatry ny adala, Koa mainka fa tsy tokony ho an’ ny zanak’ andriana ny molotra mandainga.
Wordis wel set togidere bisemen not a fool; and a liynge lippe bicometh not a prince.
8 Ny kolikoly dia toy ny vato soa eo imason’ izay mahazo azy, Ka na aiza na aiza alehany dia ambinina ihany.
A preciouse stoon moost acceptable is the abiding of hym that sekith; whidur euere he turneth hym silf, he vndurstondith prudentli.
9 Izay te-ho be fitiavana dia manaron-keloka; Fa izay mamohafoha teny mampisaraka ny tena mpisakaiza.
He that helith trespas, sekith frenschipis; he that rehersith bi an hiy word, departith hem, that ben knyt togidere in pees.
10 Ny anatra dia manan-kery kokoa amin’ ny hendry Noho ny kapoka injato amin’ ny adala.
A blamyng profitith more at a prudent man, than an hundryd woundis at a fool.
11 Ny maditra dia fatra-pitady ny ratsy, Ka dia iraka lozabe no irahina hamely azy.
Euere an yuel man sekith stryues; forsothe a cruel aungel schal be sent ayens hym.
12 Aleo mifanena amin’ ny bera very anaka Toy izay amin’ ny adala feno hadalana.
It spedith more to meete a femal bere, whanne the whelpis ben rauyschid, than a fool tristynge to hym silf in his foli.
13 Izay mamaly ratsy ny soa, Ny ratsy tsy hiala ao an-tranony.
Yuel schal not go a wei fro the hous of hym, that yeldith yuels for goodis.
14 Ny fiandohan’ ny ady dia toy ny manata-drano, Koa ilaozy ny fifandirana, dieny tsy mbola mifandramatra.
He that leeueth watir, is heed of stryues; and bifor that he suffrith wrong, he forsakith dom.
15 Izay manamarina ny meloka, na izay manameloka ny marina, Dia samy fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah.
Bothe he that iustifieth a wickid man, and he that condempneth a iust man, euer ethir is abhomynable at God.
16 Hatao inona re ity vola an-tànan’ ny adala? Hamidy fahendrena va? tsy manan-tsaina izy.
What profitith it to a fool to haue richessis, sithen he mai not bie wisdom? He that makith his hous hiy, sekith falling; and he that eschewith to lerne, schal falle in to yuels.
17 Izay tena sakaiza tokoa dia tia amin’ ny andro rehetra, Sady miseho ho rahalahy hamonjy amin’ ny fahoriana.
He that is a frend, loueth in al tyme; and a brother is preuyd in angwischis.
18 Olona tsy ampy saina izay mifandray tanana Hiantoka eo anatrehan’ ny sakaizany.
A fonned man schal make ioie with hondis, whanne he hath bihiyt for his frend.
19 Izay tia ady dia tia heloka; Ary izay manao vavahady avo mitady fahasimbana.
He that bithenkith discordis, loueth chidingis; and he that enhaunsith his mouth, sekith fallyng.
20 Izay madi-po tsy hahita soa; Ary izay manana lela mandainga hivarina any amin’ ny loza.
He that is of weiward herte, schal not fynde good; and he that turneth the tunge, schal falle in to yuel.
21 Izay miteraka adala hahazo alahelo; Ary ny rain’ ny adala tsy ho faly.
A fool is borun in his schenschipe; but nether the fadir schal be glad in a fool.
22 Ny fo ravoravo mahasalama tsara; Fa ny fanahy kivy mahamaina ny taolana.
A ioiful soule makith likinge age; a sorewful spirit makith drie boonys.
23 Ny ratsy fanahy mandray kolikoly avy any anaty lamba Ho entiny mamadika ny rariny.
A wickid man takith yiftis fro the bosum, to mys turne the pathis of doom.
24 Eo anoloan’ ny manan-tsaina ny fahendrena; Fa ny mason’ ny adala dia mibirioka any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
Wisdom schyneth in the face of a prudent man; the iyen of foolis ben in the endis of erthe.
25 Ny zanaka adala mampalahelo ny rainy Sady fahoriana mangidy amin’ ny reniny niteraka azy.
A fonned sone is the ire of the fadir, and the sorewe of the modir that gendride hym.
26 Tsy mety raha mampijaly ny marina, Na mamely ny manan-kaja noho ny fahamarinany.
It is not good to brynge in harm to a iust man; nether to smyte the prince that demeth riytfuli.
27 Izay mahafihim-bava no manam-pahalalana; Ary izay mahatsindry fo no manan-tsaina.
He that mesurith his wordis, is wijs and prudent; and a lerud man is of preciouse spirit.
28 Na ny adala aza, raha tsy miteny, dia atao ho hendry, Ary izay mahafihim-bava dia toa manan-tsaina.
Also a foole, if he is stille, schal be gessid a wijs man; and, if he pressith togidre hise lippis, he `schal be gessid an vndurstondynge man.
