Proverbs 12
1 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó fẹ́ ẹ̀kọ́ fẹ́ ìmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó kórìíra ìbáwí jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
He that loueth instruction, loueth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is a foole.
2 Ènìyàn rere gba ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn ètè búburú ni yóò dá lẹ́bi.
A good man getteth fauour of the Lord: but the man of wicked immaginations will hee condemne.
3 A kò lè fi ẹsẹ̀ ènìyàn múlẹ̀ nípa ìwà búburú ṣùgbọ́n a kò le è fa olódodo tu.
A man cannot be established by wickednesse: but the roote of the righteous shall not be mooued.
4 Aya oníwà rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n aya adójútini dàbí inú egungun rẹ̀ jẹrà.
A vertuous woman is the crowne of her husband: but she that maketh him ashamed, is as corruption in his bones.
5 Èrò àwọn olódodo tọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìgbìmọ̀ ènìyàn búburú jẹ́ ẹ̀tàn.
The thoughtes of the iust are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceitfull.

The talking of the wicked is to lye in waite for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will deliuer them.
7 A ṣí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ní ìdí, wọn kò sì sí mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ilé olódodo dúró ṣinṣin.
God ouerthroweth the wicked, and they are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A ń yín ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ̀n ọgbọ́n rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ọlọ́pọlọ wúruwùru ni a kẹ́gàn.
A man shall be commended for his wisedome: but the froward of heart shalbe despised.
9 Ó sàn kí a má jẹ́ ènìyàn pàtàkì kí a sì ní ìránṣẹ́ ju kí a díbọ́n pé a jẹ́ ẹni pàtàkì láìní oúnjẹ.
He that is despised, and is his owne seruant, is better then he that boasteth himselfe and lacketh bread.
10 Olódodo ènìyàn ń ṣe aájò ohun tí àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn rẹ̀ nílò, ṣùgbọ́n ìyọ́nú àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ìkà ni.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruell.
11 Ẹni tí ó bá dá oko yóò ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ oúnjẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń lépa òjìji lásán làsàn kò gbọ́n.
He that tilleth his lande, shalbe satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of vnderstanding.
12 Ènìyàn búburú ń fẹ́ ìkógun àwọn ènìyàn ìkà ṣùgbọ́n gbòǹgbò olódodo ń gbilẹ̀.
The wicked desireth the net of euils: but the roote of the righteous giueth fruite.
13 A mú ènìyàn búburú nípasẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n olódodo bọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìdààmú.
The euill man is snared by the wickednesse of his lips, but the iust shall come out of aduersitie.
14 Láti inú èso rẹ̀, ènìyàn kún fún onírúurú ohun rere bí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ti ń pín in lérè dájúdájú.
A man shalbe satiate with good things by the fruite of his mouth, and the recompence of a mans hands shall God giue vnto him.
15 Ọ̀nà aláìgbọ́n dára lójú ara rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn a máa gba ìmọ̀ràn.
The way of a foole is right in his owne eyes: but he that heareth counsell, is wise.

A foole in a day shall be knowen by his anger: but he that couereth shame, is wise.

The lip of trueth shall be stable for euer: but a lying tongue varieth incontinently.
