Mandeha Irery, Sahalain'andriamanitra ; Mandeha Roa, Sahalain'olombelona.

This proverb highlights the distinction between individual and collective actions under the scrutiny of God and humans. When one acts alone, it is primarily God who witnesses and judges their actions. However, when multiple people act together, they are often judged by their peers. This underscores the notion that group actions attract more attention and judgment from humans, while solitary actions are more personal and spiritual. In English, we could say, ‘God judges our individual actions, but humans judge our collective actions.’
