Proverbs 19

1 Conducting our lives as we should [even though] we are poor is better than being foolish and telling lies.

هەژارێک ڕێگای تەواوەتی گرتبێت باشترە لەوەی زمان خوار و گێلە.

2 Being enthusiastic but not thinking carefully [about what we are about to do] is not good; doing things hastily can cause us a lot of trouble [IDM].

دڵگەرمی بەبێ زانیاری باش نییە و ئەوەی پەلە بە پێیەکانی بکات بە هەڵەدا دەچێت.

3 Some people are ruined as a result of their [own] foolish actions, and when that happens, they [SYN] angrily say that it is Yahweh’s fault.

مرۆڤ بە گێلایەتییەکەی ڕێگای خۆی وێران دەکات، کەچی دڵی لە دژی یەزدان هەڵدەچێت.

4 Those who are rich easily find people who want to be their friends, but when [people become] poor, their friends [often] desert them.

دەوڵەمەندیێتی برادەری زۆر پەیدا دەکات، بەڵام هەژار برادەرەکەشی لێی جیا بووەتەوە.

5 Those who tell lies in court will surely be punished [LIT]; they will not escape it.

شایەتی درۆزن بێ سزا نابێت، ئەوەی درۆ پەخش دەکات دەرباز نابێت.

6 Many [people] try to persuade important people to do favors for them; everyone [wants to] be a friend of those who give gifts.

زۆر کەس هەوڵی بەدەستهێنانی ڕەزامەندی میر دەدەن، هەمووش دۆستی پیاوی بەخشندەن.

7 [Even] the relatives of someone who becomes poor hate him, and his friends certainly stay away from him, too; [even] if he tries to talk with them, they will not be his friends [again].

پیاو هەژار بێت براکانی خۆشی ڕقیان لێی دەبێتەوە، لەوەش زیاتر هاوڕێیەکانی لێی دوور دەکەونەوە! بە پاڕانەوەکانی دوایان دەکەوێت، بەڵام بێ سوودە.

8 Those who become wise [IDM] are doing a favor for themselves; those who get good sense will prosper.

ئەوەی دانایی دەست بکەوێت خۆی خۆشدەوێت، ئەوەی بایەخ بە تێگەیشتن بدات چاکە دەدۆزێتەوە.

9 Those who tell lies in court will certainly be punished [LIT]; they will be ruined.

شایەتی درۆزن بێ سزا نابێت، ئەوەی درۆ پەخش بکات لەناودەچێت.

10 It is not appropriate for foolish people to live (luxuriously/like rich people), and it is even less appropriate for slaves to rule important officials.

گێل خۆشگوزەرانیی لێ ناوەشێتەوە، لەوەش زیاتر دەسەڵاتداربوونی کۆیلە بەسەر میرانەوە.

11 Those who have good sense do not quickly become angry; people respect those who ignore offensive [things that people say to them].

وریایی مرۆڤ تووڕەبوونی خاودەکاتەوە، شانازیشی لێبوردنە لە یاخیبوون.

12 When a king is angry, [that causes people to be afraid of him], like the roar of a lion [causes people to be afraid] [SIM], but if he acts kindly toward people, [they like it just] like [they like] dew on the grass [in the morning].

هەڵچوونی پاشا وەک نەڕەی شێرە، بەڵام ڕەزامەندییەکەی وەک شەونمە بەسەر گیاوە.

13 Foolish children [can] cause disasters to happen to their parents. A wife who constantly (nags/quarrels with) [her husband is as annoying as] water that continually drips [MET].

کوڕی گێل ماڵوێرانی باوکیەتی، ناکۆکی ژنیش دڵۆپەکردنی بەردەوامە.

14 We [can] inherit a house or money from our parents [when they die], but only Yahweh [can] give someone a sensible wife.

ماڵ و سامان میراتی باوکانە، بەڵام ژنی وریا لەلایەن یەزدانەوەیە.

15 Those who are lazy sleep soundly, but if they are lazy, they will be hungry [because of not earning money to buy food].

تەمبەڵی خەوی قووڵ دەهێنێت، کەسی سست برسی دەبێت.

16 Those who obey [God’s] commandments will remain alive [for a long time]; those who despise/disobey them (OR, those who do not control their own conduct) will die [while they are still young].

ئەوەی ڕاسپاردە بپارێزێت گیانی خۆی دەپارێزێت، بەڵام ئەوەی بە سووکی بڕوانێتە ڕێگای خۆی لەناودەچێت.

17 When we give things to poor [people], [it is as though] we are lending to Yahweh, and he will (pay us back/reward us for what we did).

ئەوەی بەزەیی بە هەژاردا بێتەوە قەرز بە یەزدان دەدات، ئەویش پاداشتی چاکەکەی دەداتەوە.

18 Discipline your children while [they are young], while you still hope that [they will learn to behave as they should]; [if you do not discipline them], you are helping them to destroy [themselves].

کوڕەکەت تەمبێ بکە ئەوەندەی ئومێدی تێدایە، مەبە هۆکاری مردنی.

19 Those who (do not control their temper/quickly become very angry) will have to endure what happens as a result; [but] if we rescue them [from those troubles once], we will have to continue rescuing them.

ئەوەی زۆر تووڕە بێت بەرگەی ئەنجامەکەی دەگرێت، چونکە ئەگەر جارێک فریای بکەویت دەبێت دووبارەی بکەیتەوە.

20 Pay attention when [people give you good] advice and learn from them, in order that you will become wise for the rest of your life.

گوێ لە ڕاوێژ بگرە و تەمبێکردن وەربگرە، بۆ ئەوەی دانا بیت لە دواڕۆژت.

21 People plan to do many [kinds of things], but what will happen is what Yahweh has decided will happen.

مرۆڤ پلانی زۆری لە دڵدایە، بەڵام تەنها ڕاوێژی یەزدان دەچەسپێت.

22 People want others to be loyal to them; it is better to be poor than to tell a lie [to a judge in court in order to get money].

ئارەزووی مرۆڤ لە خۆشەویستی نەگۆڕە، هەژار لە پیاوی درۆزن باشترە.

23 [Those who have] an awesome respect for Yahweh will live [a long life]; they rest peacefully and are not harmed [during the night].

لەخواترسی بۆ ژیانە، بە تێری دەنوێت و خراپە بەسەری ناکاتەوە.

24 Some people are extremely lazy; they put their hand in a dish [to take some food] but do not even lift the food up to their mouths.

تەمبەڵ دەست دەخاتە ناو قاپ، تەنانەت بۆ دەمیشی نابات.

25 If you punish someone who makes fun of those who are wise, those who (are naive/need to be instructed) will learn to do what is smart; if you rebuke those who are wise, they will [listen to what you say and] become wiser.

لە گاڵتەجاڕ بدە و ساویلکە ژیر دەبێت، تێگەیشتوو سەرزەنشت بکە زانیاری تێدەگات.

26 Anyone who mistreats/abuses his father or forces his mother to leave the home is a child who is acting shamefully and disgracefully.

ئەوەی باوکی تاڵان بکات و دایکی دەربکات، کوڕێکە مایەی شەرمەزاری و ڕیسوایی.

27 My son, if you stop learning things, you will [soon] forget what [you already] know.

ڕۆڵە، ئەگەر وازت لە گوێگرتن لە ڕاوێژ هێنا، لە وتەکانی زانیاری گومڕا دەبیت.

28 Worthless witnesses [in court] make fun of [judges who try to] make fair decisions, and wicked people [enjoy] doing evil [like] they enjoy eating [good food] [MET].

شایەتی دڵڕەش گاڵتە بە دادپەروەری دەکات، دەمی بەدکارانیش تاوان قووت دەدات.

29 [God] is ready to punish those who make fun [of him/religion]; those who do foolish things deserve to be flogged/whipped.

سزا بۆ گاڵتەجاڕەکان ئامادەکراوە، لێدانیش بۆ پشتی گێلەکان.
