Proverbs 12
1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó fẹ́ ẹ̀kọ́ fẹ́ ìmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó kórìíra ìbáwí jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
Ènìyàn rere gba ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn ètè búburú ni yóò dá lẹ́bi.
3 Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.
A kò lè fi ẹsẹ̀ ènìyàn múlẹ̀ nípa ìwà búburú ṣùgbọ́n a kò le è fa olódodo tu.
4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.
Aya oníwà rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n aya adójútini dàbí inú egungun rẹ̀ jẹrà.
5 The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
Èrò àwọn olódodo tọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìgbìmọ̀ ènìyàn búburú jẹ́ ẹ̀tàn.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.
Ọ̀rọ̀ ènìyàn búburú lúgọ de ẹ̀jẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn olódodo gbà wọ́n là.
7 Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.
A ṣí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ní ìdí, wọn kò sì sí mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ilé olódodo dúró ṣinṣin.
8 A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
A ń yín ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ̀n ọgbọ́n rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ọlọ́pọlọ wúruwùru ni a kẹ́gàn.
9 Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
Ó sàn kí a má jẹ́ ènìyàn pàtàkì kí a sì ní ìránṣẹ́ ju kí a díbọ́n pé a jẹ́ ẹni pàtàkì láìní oúnjẹ.
10 The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
Olódodo ènìyàn ń ṣe aájò ohun tí àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn rẹ̀ nílò, ṣùgbọ́n ìyọ́nú àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ìkà ni.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
Ẹni tí ó bá dá oko yóò ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ oúnjẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń lépa òjìji lásán làsàn kò gbọ́n.
12 The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
Ènìyàn búburú ń fẹ́ ìkógun àwọn ènìyàn ìkà ṣùgbọ́n gbòǹgbò olódodo ń gbilẹ̀.
13 For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
A mú ènìyàn búburú nípasẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n olódodo bọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìdààmú.
14 By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
Láti inú èso rẹ̀, ènìyàn kún fún onírúurú ohun rere bí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ti ń pín in lérè dájúdájú.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.
Ọ̀nà aláìgbọ́n dára lójú ara rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn a máa gba ìmọ̀ràn.
16 A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
Aláìgbọ́n ènìyàn fi ìbínú un rẹ̀ hàn lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n olóye ènìyàn fojú fo ìyànjẹ.
17 He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
Ẹni tí ó jẹ́ ajẹ́rìí òtítọ́ jẹ́rìí ohun tí ojú rẹ̀ rí ṣùgbọ́n ajẹ́rìí èké máa ń parọ́.
18 There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
Ọ̀rọ̀ tí a kò rò jinlẹ̀ máa ń gún ni bí ọ̀kọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ahọ́n ọlọ́gbọ́n ń mú ìwòsàn wá.
19 The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
Ètè tí ń ṣọ òtítọ́ yóò wà láéláé ṣùgbọ́n ahọ́n tí ń parọ́ kì í tọ́jọ́.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
Ẹ̀tàn wà nínú ọkàn àwọn tí ń pète búburú ṣùgbọ́n ayọ̀ wà fún àwọn tí ń mú kí àlàáfíà gbilẹ̀.
21 Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
Ibi kì í ṣubú lu olódodo rárá ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn búburú gba ìpín ìyọnu tiwọn.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
Olúwa kórìíra ètè tí ń parọ́ ṣùgbọ́n ó ní inú dídùn sí àwọn olóòtítọ́.
23 A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
Ènìyàn olóye fi ìmọ̀ rẹ̀ pamọ́ sínú ara rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn ènìyàn búburú ń gbé ìwà òmùgọ̀ jáde.
24 The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.
Ọwọ́ àìṣọ̀lẹ yóò jẹ ọba ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀lẹ ṣíṣe a máa yọrí sí ẹrú ṣíṣe.
25 Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
Ìbànújẹ́ ní ọkàn ènìyàn ní dorí rẹ̀ kodò ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ rere a máa mú kó yọ̀.
26 He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.
Olódodo ènìyàn máa ń ṣọ́ra láti dọ́rẹ̀ẹ́ ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn búburú ń mú wọn ṣìnà.
27 The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.
Ọ̀lẹ ènìyàn kò sun ẹran tí ó pa lóko ọdẹ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí kì í ṣe ọ̀lẹ máa ń díwọ̀n ohun ìní rẹ̀.
28 In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.
Ní ọ̀nà àwọn olódodo ni ìyè wà ní ọ̀nà náà ni àìkú wà.
