Proverbs 20
1 Drinking a lot of wine or [other] strong drinks causes people to start fighting; it is foolish to become drunk/intoxicated.
| شەراب گاڵتەجاڕە و مەستی غەڵبەغەڵب دەکات، ئەوەی پێی وێڵ بێت دانا نییە. |
2 Being afraid of a king when he is angry is like [SIM] being afraid of a lion when it growls/roars; if you cause the king to become angry, he may execute you.
| هەڵچوونی پاشا وەک نەڕەی شێرە، ئەوەی تووڕەیی بکات لە دژی گیانی خۆی تاوان دەکات. |

| وازهێنان لە ناکۆکی ڕێزدارییە بۆ پیاو، بەڵام هەموو گێلێک هەڵیدەگیرسێنێت. |
4 [If] a lazy man does not plow [his fields at the right/proper time], he will look for [crops] at harvest [time], but there will be nothing there.
| لە زستاندا تەمبەڵ زەوی ناکێڵێت، بۆیە لە کاتی دروێنەدا داوای بەرهەم دەکات و دەستی ناکەوێت. |
5 [Just] as it is difficult to bring up water from a deep well, it is difficult to know what people are thinking, but someone who has good sense/insight will be able to find out what people are thinking.
| پلان لە دڵی مرۆڤدا ئاوێکی قووڵە، بەڵام تێگەیشتوو دەریدەهێنێت. |
6 Many people proclaim that they can be trusted [to do what they say that they will do], but it is very difficult to find [RHQ] someone who can really be trusted.
| زۆر کەس بانگەشەی خۆشەویستی نەگۆڕ دەکەن، بەڵام کەسی جێگای متمانە کێ دەیدۆزێتەوە؟ |
7 If parents conduct their lives as they should, [God] blesses their children (OR, their children are very happy/fortunate).
| کەسی ڕاستودروست بە ڕێگای تەواوی خۆیدا دەڕوات، دوای خۆی خۆزگە بە منداڵەکانی دەخوازرێت. |
8 A king who sits on his throne to judge people can [easily] [MTY] find out what things that people have done are good and what things are evil.

9 There is no one [RHQ] who can truthfully say, “I do not know of any wrong things that I have done; I have (gotten rid of all my sinful behavior/quit doing what is sinful).”
| کێیە دەڵێت: «دڵی خۆمم بێگەرد ڕاگرت، پاک بوومەوە لە گوناهم»؟ |
10 Yahweh detests people who use weights that are not right and measures that are not correct.
| دوو کێش و دوو پێوانەی لاسەنگ، هەردووکیان قێزەونن لەلای یەزدان. |
11 Even children show by what they do whether they are good or not; they show whether (what they do/their behavior) is honest and right [or not].
| تەنانەت منداڵیش بە کردارەکانی دەناسرێت، ئاخۆ کردەوەکەی پاک و ڕاستە. |
12 Two of the things that Yahweh has created [for us] are ears to hear things and eyes to see things.
| گوێ کە دەبیستێت و چاو کە دەبینێت، یەزدان دروستکەری هەردووکیانە. |
13 If you want to sleep [all the time], you will become poor; if you stay awake [and work], you will have plenty of food.
| حەز لە خەو مەکە نەوەک هەژار بیت، چاوت کراوە بێت و تێر نان بە. |
14 People [look at things that they are about] to buy, [and in order to get it for a lower price sometimes they] say, “(It is no good/It is poor quality),” but [after they buy it], they go and boast [about having bought it for a cheap price].

15 Gold and precious stones are [valuable], but wise words [MTY] are more valuable.
| زێڕ هەیە و یاقووت زۆرە، بەڵام لێوی زانیاری گەوهەرێکی بەهادارە. |
16 If you foolishly promise to a stranger that you will pay what he owes if he is unable to pay it [DOU], [you deserve to] have someone take your coat from you.

17 People [may] think that food that they acquire by doing what is dishonest will taste very good, but later [they will not enjoy what they have done any more than they would enjoy] eating gravel/sand.

18 When people give you good advice, [if you do what they suggest], your plans will succeed; so be sure to get good advice from wise people before you start fighting a war.
| پلانەکان بە ئامۆژگاری دێنە دی، بە ڕاوێژ بجەنگە. |
19 Those who go around telling gossip are [always] telling secrets to [others]; so stay away from people who foolishly talk [too much].
| دەمشڕ نهێنی ئاشکرا دەکات، بۆیە تێکەڵی چەنەباز مەبە. |
20 If someone curses his father or his mother, his life will be ended, [just] like a lamp is extinguished.
| ئەوەی نەفرەت لە دایک و باوکی بکات، لەناو جەرگەی تاریکیدا چرای دەکوژرێتەوە. |

| میراتێک لە سەرەتای ژیان و بە زوویی دەست بکەوێت لە کۆتاییدا بێ بەرەکەت دەبێت. |
22 Do not say, “I will do evil to those who do evil to me;” wait for Yahweh [to do something about it], and he will (help you/[do what is right]).
| مەڵێ: «خراپە بە خراپە دەدەمەوە.» چاوەڕێی یەزدان بکە ڕزگارت دەکات. |
23 Yahweh detests [those who use] dishonest scales and weights that are not accurate/correct.
| یەزدان قێزی لە بەکارهێنانی دوو کێشی جیاواز دەبێتەوە، تەرازووی لاسەنگ باش نییە. |
24 Yahweh is the one who has decided what will happen to us, so (how can we (understand/know) what will happen before it happens?/we humans certainly cannot (understand/know) what will happen before it happens.) [RHQ]
| هەنگاوەکانی مرۆڤ لە یەزدانەوەیە، ئیتر مرۆڤ چۆن لە ڕێگای خۆی تێدەگات؟ |
25 You should think carefully before you solemnly promise to dedicate something to God, because later you might be sorry you have promised to do it.
| تەڵەیە بۆ مرۆڤ بە سەرەڕۆیی نەزرێک تەرخان بکات، ئینجا پاش نەزرەکە پرسوڕا بکات. |
26 Wise kings find out [MET] which people have done what is wrong, and they punish them very severely [IDM].
| پاشای دانا بەدکاران شەن دەکات، بە جەنجەڕ بەسەریاندا دێت. |
27 Our consciences are [like] lamps that Yahweh [has given to us to enable us to know what we are thinking] [MET]; they reveal what is hidden deep in our (minds/inner beings).
| چرای یەزدان ڕۆحی مرۆڤ دەپشکنێت، هەروەها هەموو ناخی دەروونیش. |
28 Kings will continue to rule as long as they faithfully love their people and are loyal to them and as long as they rule righteously/fairly.
| خۆشەویستی نەگۆڕ و دڵسۆزی پاشا دەپارێزن، بە خۆشەویستی نەگۆڕ تەختی دەچەسپێت. |
29 We honor/admire young people because they are strong, but we respect [MTY] old people more because they are wise.
| شانازی لاوان هێزیانە، ڕیش سپیێتیش شکۆمەندی پیرانە. |
30 When we are beaten or whipped, it [can] cause us to quit doing what is evil in our lives; when someone wounds us [by punishing us], it [can] cause our behavior to become good.
| برینی لێدان خراپە پاک دەکاتەوە، لێدانی قامچیش ناخی دەروون. |
