Proverbs 17
1 Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house [full] of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife.
Gara ka ci busasshen burodi da kwanciyar rai kuma shiru da ka je cin abinci a gidan da ke cike da biki amma da ɓacin rai.
2 A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions amongst brethren.
Bawa mai hikima zai yi mulki a kan da mai rashin kunya, kuma zai raba gādo kamar ɗaya daga cikin’yan’uwansa.
3 As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.
Ana gwajin azurfa da kuma zinariya da wuta, amma Ubangiji ne mai gwajin zuciya.
4 A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips.
Mugun mutum kan mai da hankali ga mugayen leɓuna; maƙaryaci yakan kasa kunne ga harshen ƙarairayi.
5 He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy.
Duk wanda yake wa matalauta ba’a yana zagin Mahaliccinsu ne; duk wanda ya yi murna akan masifar da ta sami wani za a hukunta shi.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing.
Jikoki rawanin tsofaffi ne, kuma iyaye su ne abin taƙamar’ya’yansu.
7 Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man.
Leɓunan basira ba su dace da wawa ba, ya ma fi muni a ce mai mulki yana da leɓunan ƙarya!
8 Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and wherever it may turn, it shall prosper.
Cin hanci kamar sihiri yake ga wanda yake ba da shi; ko’ina ya juye, yakan yi nasara.
9 He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide [them] separates friends and kindred.
Duk wanda ya rufe laifi yana inganta ƙauna ne, amma duk wanda ya yi ta maimaita batu yakan raba abokai na kusa.
10 A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not.
Tsawata kan sa mutum ya koyi basira fiye da abin da wawa zai koya ko da an dūke shi sau ɗari.
11 Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger.
Mugayen mutane sukan kuta tawaye da Allah; za a aika manzo mutuwa a kansu.
12 Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils.
Gara a haɗu da beyar da aka ƙwace wa’ya’ya fiye da a sadu da wawa cikin wautarsa.
13 Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house.
In mutum ya sāka alheri da mugunta, mugunta ba za tă taɓa barin gidansa ba.
14 Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.
Farawar faɗa tana kamar ɓarkewa madatsar ruwa ne, saboda haka ka bar batun kafin faɗa ta ɓarke.
15 He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God.
Baratar da mai laifi a kuma hukunta mai adalci, Ubangiji ya ƙi su biyu.
16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.
Mene ne amfanin kuɗi a hannun wawa, da yake ba shi da sha’awar samun hikima?
17 Have you a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born.
Aboki yakan yi ƙauna a koyaushe, ɗan’uwa kuma, ai, don ɗaukar nawayar juna ne aka haife shi.
18 A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, [as he] also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends.
Mutumin da ba shi da azanci yakan ɗauki lamunin wani ya kuma ɗauki nauyin biyan basusuwan maƙwabci.
19 A lover of sin rejoices in strifes;
Duk mai son faɗa yana son zunubi, duk wanda ya gina ƙofar shiga mai tsawo yana gayyatar hallaka.
20 and the hard-hearted man comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs;
Mutum mai muguwar zuciya ba ya cin gaba; duk wanda yake da harshen ruɗu kan shiga wahala.
21 and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother.
Kasance da wawa kamar ɗa yakan kawo baƙin ciki babu farin ciki ga mahaifin wawa.
22 A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up.
Zuciya mai farin ciki magani ne mai kyau, amma bakin rai kan busar da ƙasusuwa.
23 The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in [his] bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness.
Mugun mutum yakan karɓa cin hanci a asirce don yă lalace yin adalci.
24 The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool [go] to the ends of the earth.
Mutum mai basira kan kafa idonsa a kan hikima, amma idanun wawa suna a kan ƙarshen duniya.
25 A foolish son [is a cause of] anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him.
Da yake wawa yakan kawo baƙin ciki ga mahaifinsa da ɓacin rai ga wanda ya haife shi.
26 [It is] not right to punish a righteous man, nor [is it] holy to plot against righteous princes.
Ba shi da kyau a hukunta marar laifi, ko a bulale shugaba saboda mutuncinsu.
27 He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise.
Mutum mai sani yakan yi la’akari da amfani da kalmomi, mutum mai basira kuma natsattse ne.
28 Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
Ko wawa in bai buɗe bakinsa ba, za a zaci shi mai hikima ne, da kuma mai basira inda ya ƙame bakinsa.
