Proverbs 20
1 Drinking a lot of wine or [other] strong drinks causes people to start fighting; it is foolish to become drunk/intoxicated.
Винул есте батжокоритор, бэутуриле тарь сунт гэлэӂиоасе; орьчине се ымбатэ ку еле ну есте ынцелепт.
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.
Фрика пе каре о инсуфлэ ымпэратул есте ка рэкнетул унуй леу; чине ыл супэрэ пэкэтуеште ымпотрива са ынсушь.
3 [People] respect those who stay away from disputes/arguments; foolish people [love to] quarrel.
Есте о чинсте пентру ом сэ се феряскэ де чертурь; дар орьче небун се ласэ стэпынит де априндере.
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.
Тоамна, ленешул ну арэ; ла сечерат, ар вря сэ стрынгэ роаде, дар ну есте нимик!
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.
Сфатуриле ын инима омулуй сунт ка ниште апе адынчь, дар омул причепут штие сэ скоатэ дин еле.
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.
Мулць оамень ышь трымбицязэ бунэтатя; дар чине поате гэси ун ом крединчос?
7 If parents conduct their lives as they should, [God] blesses their children (OR, their children are very happy/fortunate).
Чел неприхэнит умблэ ын неприхэниря луй; фериче де копиий луй дупэ ел!
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.
Ымпэратул каре шаде пе скаунул де домние ал дрептэций рисипеште орьче рэу ку привиря луй.
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).”
Чине поате зиче: „Мь-ам курэцит инима, сунт курат де пэкатул меу”?
10 Yahweh detests people who use weights that are not right and measures that are not correct.
Доуэ фелурь де греутэць ши доуэ фелурь де мэсурь сунт о скырбэ ынаинтя Домнулуй.
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].
Копилул ласэ сэ се вадэ ынкэ дин фаптеле луй дакэ пуртаря луй ва фи куратэ ши фэрэ приханэ.
12 Two of the things that Yahweh has created [for us] are ears to hear things and eyes to see things.
Урекя каре ауде ши окюл каре веде, ши пе уна, ши пе челэлалт, Домнул ле-а фэкут.
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.
Ну юби сомнул, кэч вей ажунӂе сэрак; дескиде окий ши те вей сэтура де пыне!
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].
„Рэу! Рэу!” зиче кумпэрэторул ши, плекынд, се феричеште.
15 Gold and precious stones are [valuable], but wise words [MTY] are more valuable.
Есте аур ши сунт мулте мэргэритаре; дар бузеле ынцелепте сунт ун лукру скумп.
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.
Я-й хайна, кэч с-а пус кезаш пентру алтул; ши цине-л зэлог пентру алций!
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.
Пыня минчуний есте дулче омулуй, дар май пе урмэ гура ый есте плинэ де петриш.
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.
Плануриле се пун ла кале прин сфат. Фэ рэзбоюл ку кибзуинцэ!
19 Those who go around telling gossip are [always] telling secrets to [others]; so stay away from people who foolishly talk [too much].
Чине умблэ ку бырфель дэ пе фацэ лукруриле аскунсе, ши ку чел че ну-шь поате цине гура сэ ну те аместечь.
20 If someone curses his father or his mother, his life will be ended, [just] like a lamp is extinguished.
Дакэ чинева блестемэ пе татэл сэу ши пе мама са, и се ва стинӂе лумина ын мижлокул ынтунерикулуй.
21 If you very quickly take the property that your parents promise will be yours after they die, you will not receive any good/blessing from it.
О моштенире репеде кыштигатэ де ла ынчепут ну ва фи бинекувынтатэ ла сфыршит.
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]).
Ну зиче: „Ый вой ынтоарче еу рэул!” Нэдэждуеште ын Домнул, ши Ел те ва ажута.
23 Yahweh detests [those who use] dishonest scales and weights that are not accurate/correct.
Домнул урэште доуэ фелурь де греутэць, ши кынтарул минчинос ну есте ун лукру бун.
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]
Домнул ындряптэ паший омулуй, дар че ынцелеӂе омул дин каля са?
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.
Есте о курсэ пентру ом сэ факэ ын припэ о фэгэдуинцэ сфынтэ ши, абя дупэ че а фэкут журуинца, сэ се гындяскэ.
26 Wise kings find out [MET] which people have done what is wrong, and they punish them very severely [IDM].
Ун ымпэрат ынцелепт вынтурэ пе чей рэй ши трече ку роата песте ей.
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).
Суфларя омулуй есте о луминэ а Домнулуй, каре пэтрунде пынэ ын фундул мэрунтаелор.
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.
Бунэтатя ши крединчошия пэзеск пе ымпэрат, ши ел ышь ынтэреште скаунул де домние прин бунэтате.
29 We honor/admire young people because they are strong, but we respect [MTY] old people more because they are wise.
Слава тинерилор есте тэрия, дар подоаба бэтрынилор сунт перий албь.
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.
Мижлоачеле де виндекаре пентру чел рэу сунт бэтэиле ши вынэтэиле пынэ ла ранэ.
