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).
१ज्याला शिक्षण प्रिय त्यास ज्ञान प्रिय, परंतु जो कोणी शासनाचा द्वेष करतो तो मूर्ख आहे.

२परमेश्वर चांगल्या मनुष्यास कृपा देतो, पण वाईट योजना करणाऱ्याला तो दोषी ठरवतो.

५नीतिमानाच्या योजना यथान्याय असतात, पण दुष्टांचा सल्ला कपटाचा असतो.

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.
७दुर्जन उलथून टाकले जातात आणि नाहीसे होतात, पण नीतिमानाचे घर टिकते.
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).

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.

13 Evil people are trapped by the evil things that they say [MTY], but righteous [people] escape from trouble.

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.
१६मूर्ख त्याचा राग लागलाच दाखवतो, पण जो दूरदर्शी आहे तो अपमानाकडे दुर्लक्ष करतो.

१७जो कोणी खरे बोलतो तो जे काय योग्य आहे ते सांगतो, पण खोटा साक्षीदार लबाड सांगतो.
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).
