Proverbs 12
1 Those who want to know [what is right to do] want to be (disciplined/corrected) when they do what is wrong; it is foolish to not want to be (corrected/told that what you did is wrong).
Duk mai ƙaunar horo yana ƙaunar sani, amma duk mai ƙin gyara wawa ne.
2 Yahweh is pleased with good people, but he condemns those who plan to harm [others].
Mutumin kirki kan sami tagomashi daga Ubangiji, amma Ubangiji yakan hukunta mai son yin wayo.
3 People do not become secure/safe by doing what is wicked; righteous [people] will be very safe and secure [LIT] like [MET] a tree that has deep roots.
Ba yadda mutum zai kahu ta wurin aikata mugunta, amma ba za a tumɓuke adali ba.
4 A good wife is one who causes her husband to be greatly honored, but a wife who does things that cause her husband to be ashamed [will destroy him] like [SIM] cancer [destroys] his bones.
Mace mai halin kirki rawanin mijinta ne, amma mace marar kunya tana kama da ciwo a ƙasusuwansa.
5 What righteous [people] want to do is [to treat people] fairly; what wicked [people] want to do is to deceive people.
Shirye-shiryen masu adalci daidai ne, amma shawarar mugaye ruɗu ne.
6 What wicked [people] say is like a trap [MET] that kills [MTY] people [who pass by], but what righteous [people] say [MTY] rescues those whom [wicked people threaten to harm].
Kalmomin mugu sukan kwanta suna jira su yi kisankai, amma jawabin masu aikata gaskiya kan kuɓutar da su.
7 Wicked [people] will die [before they become old and we will see] them no more, but righteous people will live [for many years] and have many descendants.
Akan tumɓuke mugaye ba a ƙara ganinsu, amma gidan masu adalci kan tsaya daram.
8 [People will] praise those who have good sense, but [people will] despise those (who are always thinking about doing evil things/whose thinking is twisted).
Akan yabi mutum bisa ga hikimarsa, amma mutane marasa azanci akan rena su.
9 It is better to be a humble/ordinary person who has only one servant than to think that you are very important while you have nothing to eat.
Gara ka zama kai ba kome ba ne amma kana da bawa da ka mai da kanka kai wani ne alhali kuwa ba ka da abinci.
10 Righteous people take care of their domestic animals, but wicked people act cruelly [toward their animals].
Mai adalci kan kula da bukatun dabbobinsa, amma halaye mafi kyau na mugaye su ne ƙeta.
11 Farmers who work hard in their fields will [produce good crops] that will give them plenty to eat, but those who waste their time working on worthless projects are foolish.
Duk wanda ya nome gonarsa zai sami abinci a yalwace, amma shi da yake naushin iska marar azanci ne.
12 Wicked [people] desire to take away what [other] evil people have, but [Yahweh] enables righteous/godly [people] to be steadfast and productive [MET].
Mugaye suna sha’awar ganimar mugayen mutane, amma saiwar masu adalci kan haɓaka.
13 Evil people are trapped by the evil things that they say [MTY], but righteous [people] escape from trouble.
Mugun mutum kan fāɗa a tarkon maganarsa ta zunubi, amma adali kan kuɓuta daga wahala.
14 People are rewarded for [the good things] that they say [to others], and people are [also] rewarded for the good work that they do [MTY].
Daga abubuwan da suke fitowa daga leɓunansa mutum kan cika da abubuwa masu kyau tabbatacce yadda aikin hannuwansa suke ba shi lada.
15 Foolish people [always] think that what they are doing is right; wise people heed [other people when they give them good] advice.
Hanyar wawa daidai take a gare shi, amma mai hikima kan saurari shawara.
16 Foolish people quickly become angry when someone does something that they don’t like; but those who have good sense ignore it when others insult them.
Wawa kan nuna fushinsa nan take, amma mai la’akari kan ƙyale zargi.
17 [In the courtroom], honest people say what is true, but untruthful/dishonest people tell [nothing but] lies.
Mashaidin gaskiya kan ba da shaidar gaskiya, amma mashaidin ƙarya yana baza ƙarairayi ne.
18 What some people say [hurts people badly], as much as [SIM] a sword can; but what wise [people] say (heals [others’ souls]/comforts others).
Maganganun rashin tunani sukan soki mutum kamar takobi, amma harshen mai hikima kan kawo warkarwa.
19 When people tell [MTY] lies, others soon realize that what they said is not true [IDM]; but when people say what is true, others will remember that forever.
Leɓunan gaskiya kan dawwama har abada, amma harshen ƙarya yakan dawwama na ɗan lokaci ne kawai.
20 Those who plan to do what is evil are always wanting to deceive [others], but things will go well for those who plan [to do] good things.
Akwai ruɗu a zukatan waɗanda suke ƙulla mugunta, amma waɗanda suke aikata alheri za su yi farin ciki.
21 Bad things [usually] [HYP] do not happen to righteous [people], but wicked [people] always have troubles.
Ba wani lahanin da zai sami masu adalci, amma mugaye suna da nasu cike da wahala.
22 Yahweh detests those [MTY] who tell lies, but he is delighted with those who faithfully do what they promise that they will do.
Ubangiji yana ƙyamar leɓunan masu ƙarya, amma yana jin daɗin mutanen da suke masu gaskiya.
23 Those with good sense do not reveal [all] that they know; foolish people show [clearly] by what they say that they (are ignorant/have not learned much).
Mai la’akari kan kiyaye saninsa wa kansa, amma zuciyar wawa kan yi ta tallar wawanci.
24 Those [SYN] who work hard become rulers [of others]; those who are lazy become slaves [of others.]
Hannuwan masu aiki tuƙuru za su yi mulki, amma ragwanci kan ƙarasa a aikin bauta.
25 When people are anxious/worried, they become depressed/dejected, but when others speak kindly to them, it causes them to be cheerful again.
Zuciya mai damuwa takan naƙasar da mutum, amma maganar alheri kan faranta masa rai.
26 Godly/Righteous people try to [give good advice to] their friends (OR, try to make friends with others), but the manner in which wicked [people] live misleads their friends.
Adali yakan yi hankali a abokantaka, amma hanyar mugaye kan kai su ga kaucewa.
27 Lazy people do not even [cook the meat of] the animals that they catch/kill, but those who work hard will acquire (OR, are like) a valuable treasure.

28 Those who (live righteously/continually do what is right) are [walking] on the road to a long life; (it is not a road to death/they will not die when they are still young).
A hanyar adalci akwai rai; a wannan hanya akwai rashin mutuwa.
