Proverbs 14
1 Wise women [PRS] hold their families together [by the wise things that they do], but foolish women ruin their families by the foolish things that they do.
Mace mai hikima kan gina gidanta, amma da hannunta wawiya takan rushe shi ƙasa.
2 By [continually] behaving/acting righteously, [people show that they] greatly revere Yahweh; those who (walk on crooked paths/always deceive others) [show that they] despise him.
Wanda tafiyarsa ta aikata gaskiya ce kan ji tsoron Ubangiji, amma wanda hanyoyinsa ba a kan gaskiya ba ne yakan rena shi.
3 Foolish people will be punished [MTY] for what they say, but wise [people] will be protected by what they say [MTY].

4 If [a man has] no oxen [to plow his field], he does not [need to put] grain [in their feedbox], but if [he has] oxen, they will enable [him to produce] an abundant crop.

7 Stay away from foolish people, because they will not be able to teach you anything [useful].
Ka guji wawa, gama ba za ka sami sani a leɓunansa ba.
8 Those who have good sense are wise, so they know what they should do [and what they should not do]; foolish people do not know what is right to do, but because they think that they do, they are deceiving themselves.
Hikima masu la’akari shi ne su yi tunani a kan hanyoyinsu, amma wautar wawaye ruɗu ne.
9 Foolish people make fun of their committing sins; but God is pleased with those who do what is right.
Wawaye kan yi ba’a a gyaran zunubi, amma fatan alheri yana samuwa a cikin masu aikata gaskiya.
10 If you are very sad or if you are joyful, only you know what you are experiencing; no one else [can] know what you are feeling.

14 Those who stubbornly continue to do what is wrong will get what they deserve, and those who continually do what is good will [also] get what they deserve.
Marasa bangaskiya za su sami sakamako cikakke saboda hanyoyinsu, kuma mutumin kirki zai sami lada saboda nasa.

Marar azanci kan gaskata kome, amma mai la’akari kan yi tunani game da matakinsa.

Duk wanda ya rena maƙwabci ya yi zunubi, amma mai albarka ne wanda yake alheri ga mabukata.

Duk mai tsoron Ubangiji yana da zaunannen mafaka, kuma ga’ya’yansa zai zama mafaka.

Tsoron Ubangiji shi ne maɓulɓular rai yakan juye mutum daga tarkon mutuwa.
28 If a king rules over many people, many people will [be able to] honor him; if he has only a few people in his kingdom, he will have very little [HYP] power.
Yawan mutane shi ne ɗaukakar sarki, amma in ba tare da mabiya ba sarki ba kome ba ne.

Hikima tana a zuciyar mai azanci, kuma ko a cikin wawaye takan sa a santa.
