< Proverbs 27 >

1 Do not boast about [what you will do] tomorrow, because you do not know what will happen [PRS] on any day.
شانازی بە سبەینێ مەکە، چونکە نازانی ڕۆژ چی لێ دەکەوێتەوە.
2 Do not praise yourself [MTY, PRS]; allow others to praise you. If someone else praises you, that is okay.
با نامۆ ستایشت بکات نەک دەمی خۆت، بێگانە نەک لێوەکانت.
3 [It causes pain to our bodies to carry heavy] stones or [a pail full of] sand, but doing something stupid/foolish [can cause] great [pain to other people’s spirits.]
بەرد قورسە و لم بە سەنگە، بەڵام تووڕەیی گێل لە هەردووکیان قورسترە.
4 It is cruel to be angry [with others], and our being angry sometimes destroys [others], but being jealous of someone is [RHQ] often more cruel than that.
هەڵچوون توندوتیژە و تووڕەیی لێشاوە، بەڵام کێ لەبەردەم ئیرەیی خۆ ڕادەگرێت؟
5 It is better to correct someone openly than to show that you l don’t love that person [by not correcting him].
سەرزەنشتی ئاشکرا لە خۆشەویستی شاردراوە باشترە.
6 If a friend criticizes you, [he is a good friend and] you can trust him; but if one of your enemies kisses you, he is [probably wanting to] deceive you.
برینی دۆست دڵسۆزییە، بەڵام ماچی دوژمن بە فێڵە.
7 When someone’s stomach is full, he does not want to eat honey; but when someone is [very] hungry, he thinks that [even] bitter things taste sweet.
کەسی تێر پێ لە هەنگوین دەنێت، بەڵام بۆ برسی هەموو تاڵێتییەک شیرینە.
8 Anyone who wanders [far] from his home/family is like [SIM] a bird that is far from its nest.
وەک چۆلەکەی وێڵبوو لە هێلانەکەی، ئاوایە مرۆڤی وێڵ لە هەواری خۆی.
9 [Putting olive] oil and perfume on a person’s skin causes him to feel good, but having a friend [who gives] good advice [is even better].
بۆن و بخورد دڵ خۆش دەکەن، شیرینی برادەریش لە پەرۆشی ڕاوێژە.
10 Do not neglect your friends or your parents’ friends; and at a time when you are experiencing a disaster, do not go to a relative [who lives far away to request his help]; someone who lives near you can help you more than relatives who live far away.
واز لە برادەرەکانی خۆت و باوکت مەهێنە، لە ڕۆژی لێقەومانت مەچووە ماڵی برات، دراوسێی نزیک لە برای دوور باشترە.
11 My child/son, cause me to be happy by becoming wise, in order that I will [know how to] reply to those who would criticize me [about your behavior].
ڕۆڵە، دانا بە و دڵم خۆش بکە، بۆ ئەوەی وەڵامی ئەوانە بدەمەوە کە لۆمەم دەکەن.
12 Those who have good sense will realize that there is something dangerous ahead, and they will hide; those who do not have good sense [just] keep going, and later they will suffer because of [doing] that.
ژیر خراپە دەبینێت و خۆی دەشارێتەوە، بەڵام ساویلکە مل پێوەدەنێت و سزا دەدرێ.
13 [You deserve to] have your property taken from you if you [foolishly] promise to a stranger (OR, a strange woman) that you will pay what she owes if she is unable to pay it [DOU].
ئەگەر کەسێک بووە کەفیلی نامۆیەک کەواکەی لێ وەربگرە، لەبەر بێگانەکە بارمتەی لێ وەربگرە.
14 If you rise early in the morning and call out a greeting to your neighbor [while he is still sleeping], he will consider it to be a curse, [not a blessing].
ئەوەی بە دەنگی بەرز داوای بەرەکەت بۆ دراوسێکەی بکات لە بەیانی زوودا، بە نەفرەت بۆی ئەژمارد دەکرێت.
15 [Having] a wife that is [constantly] nagging is as [bad as listening] to rain continually dripping on a rainy day.
دڵۆپەکردنی بەردەوام لە ڕۆژی باران، هەروەک ئافرەتی شەڕانییە.
16 [Trying] to restrain/stop her [from doing that] is as [difficult] [SIM] [as trying] to stop the wind or [trying] to hold oil in your hand.
ئەوەی دەستەمۆی بکات، با دەستەمۆ دەکات، بە دەستی ڕاستی زەیت دەگرێت.
17 [We can use one] iron tool to sharpen [another] iron [tool]; similarly [SIM], [when one person shares] what he is thinking, it can help other people [to think more clearly].
ئاسن بە ئاسن تیژ دەکرێت و مرۆڤیش ڕووی برادەرەکەی تیژ دەکات.
18 Those who take care of fig trees will have figs to eat; [similarly], servants who protect their master will be honored [by him].
ئەوەی چاودێری دار هەنجیرێک بکات بەرەکەی دەخوات، ئەوەی گەورەکەی خۆی بپارێزێت ڕێزی دەگیرێت.
19 [When a person looks] in the water, he sees his own face; similarly [SIM], [when we look at] a person’s behavior, we know what he is thinking.
وەک لە ئاودا وێنەدانەوەی ڕوو دەبینرێت، ئاواش دڵی مرۆڤ وێنەی مرۆڤەکە دەداتەوە.
20 [It is as though] the place where the dead people are is always wanting more people to [die and] come there; and humans [SYN] are always wanting to acquire more things, [too]. (Sheol h7585)
جیهانی مردووان و لەناوچوون تێر نابن، هەروەها چاوی مرۆڤیش تێر نابێت. (Sheol h7585)
21 [Workers put] silver and gold in a very hot furnace [to burn out what is impure], and [SIM] people learn [what we are really like when they see how we react when people] praise us.
بۆتە بۆ زیوە و کوورە بۆ زێڕ، مرۆڤیش بە دەمی ستایشکەرەکەی تاقی دەکرێتەوە.
22 Even if you beat/crush a fool severely [like] [MET] you pulverize grain with a pestle, you [probably] will not be able to cause him to stop (being foolish/doing foolish things).
هەرچەندە گێل لەناو هاون بکوتی، لەگەڵ دانەوێڵە بە دەسکە هاون، گێلایەتییەکەی لێی جیا نابێتەوە.
23 Take good care of your flocks of sheep and herds of cattle,
باش حاڵی مێگەلەکانت بزانە، دڵت هەر لەلای ڕانە مەڕەکانت بێت،
24 because the money [that you acquired from selling animals previously] will not (last/stay with you) forever; similarly [SIM], governments [MTY] certainly do not [RHQ] last forever.
چونکە دەوڵەمەندی هەتاسەر نییە، تاجیش نەوە بە نەوە بەردەوام نابێت.
25 After you cut the hay [DOU] and [store it to feed the animals in the winter while] a new crop of hay is growing,
کاتێک کا نامێنێت و گیا دەردەکەوێت، گیاوگۆڵی شاخان کۆدەکرێنەوە،
26 you will be able to [shear the sheep and] make clothes from the wool, and you will get money from selling [some of] the goats to buy [more] land,
بەرخەکان بۆ جلوبەرگ و گیسکەکانیش بۆ نرخی کێڵگە.
27 and you will get enough milk from the [other] goats for you and your family and your female servants.
بەپێی پێویست شیری بزنیشت دەبێت کە بەشی خواردنی خۆت و خێزانەکەت و بژێوی کەنیزەکانت دەکات.
