Proverbs 17
1 It is better [to eat] a dry piece [of bread] and not have strife/quarrels than to have a big feast in a house where [everyone] is quarreling.
Quru bir loğması olan dinc ev Münaqişəli olan, ziyafət dolu evdən yaxşıdır.
2 A slave who acts wisely will [some day] be the boss of his master’s disgraceful son and when his master dies, the slave will receive part of his master’s possessions.
Ağıllı nökər adbatıran oğlun ağası olar, Qardaşlar arasında miras payı alar.
3 [Workers put] silver and gold in a very hot furnace [to burn out what is impure], and Yahweh [similarly] examines people’s inner beings [to see if they are pure].
Qızıl-gümüş isti kürədə yoxlanar, Rəbb isə ürəyi araşdırar.
4 Those who do what is evil pay attention to people who say [MTY] what is evil, and liars pay attention to [other people’s] lies.
Pis adamın diqqəti şər ağızdadır, Yalançı fitnəkarın sözlərinə qulaq asır.
5 Those who make fun of poor [people] insult God, the one who made the poor [people], [and] those who are happy when [someone else has] troubles will certainly be punished [LIT] [by God].
Yoxsula rişxənd edən Yaradanına xor baxır, Başqasının bəlasına sevinən cəzasız qalmır.
6 Old [people] are [usually] proud of [MET] their grandchildren, [just like] children are [usually] proud of their parents.
Nəvələr ahılların tacıdır, Oğulların şərəfi atalarıdır.
7 Fine/Eloquent speech is not suitable for foolish people to say, just like lies are not suitable for rulers [to say].
Sarsağa bəlağətli söz yaraşmadığı kimi Əsilzadəyə də yalançı dil yaraşmaz.
8 People think that a bribe is like a magic stone [to persuade someone to do what they want him to do]; they think that because of the bribe, that person will do whatever they want him to do.
Rüşvət verənin gözündə rüşvət bir tilsimdir, Çünki hansı tərəfə getsə, uğur gətirir.
9 If you want people to like/love you, forgive them for the wrong things that they do to you. If you continue to remind them about those wrong things, they will no longer be your friends.
Günahı örtən məhəbbət axtarar, Sözgəzdirən əziz dostları ayırar.
10 Rebuking people who have good sense will accomplish more for them than hitting them 100 times [with a stick].
Qanan insan üçün bir irad Axmağa vurulan yüz zərbədən də artıq təsir edir.
11 [Because] wicked people are always trying to cause trouble, someone will be sent to severely punish them.
Pis insan ancaq üsyankarlıq axtarar, Onun əleyhinə qəddar qasid göndərilər.
12 A mother bear whose cubs have been taken away from her is dangerous, but it is more dangerous to confront a foolish person who is doing something foolish.
Balalarını itirmiş bir ayıya rast gəlmək Səfahətə batmış axmaqla rastlaşmaqdan yaxşıdır.
13 If someone does something evil in return for something good being done to him, evil/trouble will never leave that person’s family.
Kim yaxşılıq əvəzinə pislik etsə, Evindən pislik ayrılmaz.
14 Starting a quarrel is like allowing water to start to leak out of a dam; they both need to be stopped before they get worse.
Davanın başlanması su bəndinin açılmasına bənzər, Dava başlanmamış münaqişəni tərk et.
15 There are two things that Yahweh hates: (Condemning innocent [people]/Saying that people who have done nothing wrong must be punished), and declaring that people who have done wicked things should not be punished.
Şərə haqq vermək, salehi məhkum etmək – Hər ikisi Rəbdə ikrah yaradır.
16 It is useless to allow foolish people [RHQ] to try to become wise by paying for it, because they do not have enough good sense to become wise.
Axmaq hikmət qazanmaq istəməz, Bunun üçün pul sərf etmək fayda verməz.
17 Friends love [others] all the time, and relatives are able to help us when we have troubles.
Dost hər zaman sevər, Qardaş dar gün üçün doğular.
18 [If someone borrows money from another person], it is foolish for you to promise [IDM] that you will pay the money back if that other person is unable to pay back the money that he borrowed.
Qanmaz başqası ilə əlbir olar, O, qonşusuna zamin durar.
19 Those who like to sin [also] like to cause strife/trouble; [and] those who build fancy doors in their houses [to show that they are very wealthy] (OR, speak proudly) are inviting disaster.
İtaətsizliyi sevən münaqişəni sevər, Qapısını ucaldan əcəlini səslər.
20 Those who (have perverse minds/are always thinking about doing evil things) will not prosper, and disasters will happen to those who always tell lies.
Əyri ürəkli xeyir tapmaz, Hiyləgər dilli insanı bəlaya salar.
21 Children who are foolish [soon] cause their parents to be very sad; their parents will not be joyful at all.
Axmağın atası dərdə düşər, Sarsağın atasının sevinci itər.
22 Being cheerful is [like swallowing] good medicine; being discouraged/gloomy [all the time will] (drain away your energy/cause you to become weak) [MTY].
Ürək sevinci can üçün ən yaxşı məlhəmdir, Könlün sınması sümükləri qurudar.
23 Wicked people/judges accept bribes that are given to them secretly, and as a result they do not decide matters justly/fairly.
Şər qoltuğuna rüşvət götürər ki, Ədalət yollarını pozsun.
24 Those who have good sense determine to do what is wise, but foolish people are always thinking about many different things [and never decide what they should do].
Qanan adam hikmətə baxar, Axmağın gözləri dünyanın o tayını axtarar.
25 Children who are foolish cause their father to be sad and [also] cause their mother to be very sorrowful.
Axmaq oğul atasına qəm-kədər verər, Onu doğan anasını qubarladar.
26 It is not right to force someone who has done nothing wrong to pay a fine; it is wrong to punish good/respected people.
Saleh insanı cərimə etmək yaxşı deyil, Əsilzadəni düzlüyünə görə döymək yaxşı deyil.
27 Those who have good sense do not talk a lot, and those who (control their tempers/keep themselves from becoming very angry) are [truly] wise.
Çoxbilən az danışar, Müdrik həlimlik ruhunda olar.
28 People [may] think that foolish people who do not say anything are wise; if foolish people (do not say anything/keep their mouths shut), others will think that they are [very] intelligent.
Səfeh belə, sakit dayansa, hikmətli hesab edilər, Ağzını yumsa, dərrakəli görünər.
