³To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

³Ny hanao izay marina sy mahitsy No sitrak'i Jehovah mihoatra noho ny fanatitra alatsa-drà.

⁴An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

⁴Ny fiandranandran'ny maso sy ny fiavonavon'ny fo Izay jiron'ny ratsy fanahy dia ota.[Na: asan']

⁵The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

⁵Ny hevitry ny mazoto dia mampanan-karena; Fa ny maimaika rehetra dia halahelo ihany.

⁶The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

⁶Ny fahazoan-karena amin'ny lela mandainga Dia fofonaina mihelina ho an'izay mitady fahafatesana.

⁷The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

⁷Ny fitohatohan'ny ratsy fanahy hamongotra azy, Satria mandà tsy hanao izay marina izy.

⁸The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

⁸Miolikolika ny lalan'ny mavesa-keloka; Fa mahitsy ny ataon'ny madio.

⁹It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

⁹Aleo mitoetra eo an-joron'ny tampon-trano Toy izay hiray trano amin'ny vehivavy tia ady.

¹²Ny Iray Marina no mandinika ny tranon'ny ratsy fanahy Ka mamarina azy ho amin'ny loza.

¹³Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

¹³Izay manentsin-tadiny amin'ny fitarainan'ny malahelo, Dia mba hitaraina kosa izy, fa tsy hohenoina.

¹⁴A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

¹⁴Ny fanomezana mangingina mampionona ny fahatezerana, Ary ny kolikoly amin'ny takona mampitsahatra ny fahavinirana mafy.

¹⁵It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

¹⁵Fifalian'ny marina ny hanao araka ny rariny; Fa zava-mahatahotra ny mpanao ratsy kosa izany.

¹⁶The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

¹⁶Ny olona izay mivily miala amin'ny lalan'ny fahendrena Dia hitoetra ao amin'ny fivorian'ny fanahin'ny maty.

¹⁷He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

¹⁷Izay tia fanaranam-po dia olona halahelo, Eny, izay tia divay sy diloilo tsy mba hanan-karena.

¹⁸The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

¹⁸Ny ratsy fanahy dia ho avotry ny marina, Ary ny mpivadika ho solon'ny mahitsy.

¹⁹It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

¹⁹Aleo mitoetra any an-efitra Toy izay amin'ny vehivavy tia ady sady foizina.

²⁰There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

²⁰Harena mahafinaritra sy diloilo no ao amin'ny tranon'ny hendry; Fa ny adala mandany azy.

²¹He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

²¹Izay fatra-panaraka fahamarinana sy famindram-po Dia hahazo fiainana sy fahamarinana ary voninahitra.

²²A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

²²Ny hendry mananika ny vohitry ny mahery Ka mandrodana ny fiarovana mafy izay itokiany.

²³Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

²³Izay miambina ny vavany sy ny lelany Dia miaro ny fanahiny tsy ho azom-pahoriana.

²⁴Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

²⁴Izay mirehareha sy miavonavona no atao hoe mpaniratsira, Dia izay olona fatra-piavonavona.

²⁵The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

²⁵Ny fanirian'ny malaina hahafaty azy, Satria ny tànany tsy mety miasa tsinona;

²⁶He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

²⁶Maniry fatratra mandritra ny andro izy; Fa ny marina kosa manome ka tsy mba mahihitra.

²⁷The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

²⁷Ny fanatitry ny ratsy fanahy dia fahavetavetana, Ka indrindra raha amin'ny sain-dratsy no itondrany azy.

²⁸A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

²⁸Ho faty ny vavolombelona mandainga; Fa izay mihaino dia hiteny mandrakariva.

²⁹A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

²⁹Ny ratsy fanahy mampiseho ny fahasahisahiany amin'ny tarehiny; Fa ny marina kosa dia mihevitra izay halehany.

³⁰There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

³⁰Tsy misy fahendrena, na fahalalana, Na fisainana mahaleo an'i Jehovah.Voaomana ny soavaly ho amin'ny andro iadiana; Fa an'i Jehovah ihany ny fandresena.

³¹The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

³¹Voaomana ny soavaly ho amin'ny andro iadiana; Fa an'i Jehovah ihany ny fandresena.
