1 A hannun Ubangiji zuciyar sarki kamar ruwan rafi ne wanda yake bi da shi duk inda ya so.
The king’s heart [is] in the hand of the LORD, [as] the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

[It is] better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10 Mugun mutum yakan zaƙu ya aikata mugunta; maƙwabcinsa ba ya samun jinƙai daga gare shi.
The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 Sa’ad da aka hukunta mai ba’a marasa azanci suka yi wayo; sa’ad da aka yi wa mai hikima umarni yakan sami sani.
When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 Mai Adalci kan lura da gidan mugu kan kuma zama sanadin lalacin mugu.
The righteous [man] wisely considereth the house of the wicked: [but God] overthroweth the wicked for [their] wickedness.

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17 Duk mai son jin daɗi zai zama matalauci; duk mai son ruwan inabi da mai ba zai taɓa zama mai arziki ba.
He that loveth pleasure [shall be] a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27 Hadayar mugaye abin ƙyama ne, balle ma in aka kawo da mugun nufi!
The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination: how much more, [when] he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28 Mai ba da shaidar ƙarya zai hallaka, kuma duk wanda ya saurare shi zai hallaka har abada.
