Dagiti Proverbio 12
1 Ti siasinoman a mangay-ayat iti panangdisiplina ket ay-ayatenna met ti pannakaammo, ngem ti tao a kagurgurana ti pannakatubngar ket nengneng.
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).
2 Pabpaboran ni Yahweh ti tao a naimbag, ngem dusdusaenna ti tao nga agpangpanggep iti dakes.
Yahweh is pleased with good people, but he condemns those who plan to harm [others].
3 Saan a mapatibker ti maysa a tao babaen iti kinadangkes, ngem dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket saan a maparut.
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.
4 Ti asawa a babai a naimbag ket maiyarig a balangat ti asawana, ngem ti babai a mangipapaay iti pakaibabainan ket kasla sakit a mangrunot kadagiti tultulangna.
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.
5 Dagiti panggep dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket nalinteg, ngem ti pammagbaga dagiti nadangkes ket makaallilaw.
What righteous [people] want to do is [to treat people] fairly; what wicked [people] want to do is to deceive people.
6 Ti sasao dagiti nadangkes a tattao ket maiyarig iti maysa a panangsaneb a mangur-uray iti gundaway a pumatay, ngem ti sasao dagiti nalinteg ket pagtalinaedenna ida a natalged.
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].
7 Dagiti nadangkes a tattao ket naparmeken ket awandan, ngem ti balay dagiti agar-aramid iti umno ket nakatakder latta.
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.
8 Maidaydayaw ti maysa a tao babaen iti kaadu ti kinasirib nga adda kenkuana, ngem mauy-uyaw ti tao a ballikug ti pilpilienna.
[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 Nasaysayaat ti maaddaan iti saan unay a napateg a saad— ti laeng panagbalin nga adipen—ngem iti agpalastogka maipapan iti kinapategmo ngem awan met taraonmo.
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.
10 Ti tao nga agar-aramid iti umno ket kailalaanna ti kasapulan ti ayupna, ngem uray pay ti asi ti nadangkes ket agbalin a nadawel.
Righteous people take care of their domestic animals, but wicked people act cruelly [toward their animals].

14 Mapunno iti nasasayaat a banbanag ti maysa a tao manipud iti bunga dagiti sasaona, a kas iti panangungona kenkuana dagiti ar-aramiden dagiti imana.
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].
15 Ti wagas ti maag nalinteg kadagiti bukodna a mata, ngem ti masirib a tao dumdumngeg iti pammagbaga.

19 Dagiti napudno a bibig ket agpaut iti agnanayon, ngem ti agul-ulbod a dila ket apagdarikmat laeng.
