Proverbs 22
1 (Having a good reputation/Being honored by people) is better than having a lot of money; being well respected is better than having plenty of gold or silver [DOU].
| ناوبانگی چاک لە دەوڵەمەندی گەورە خوازراوترە، ڕێزیش لە زێڕ و زیو باشترە. |
2 There is one thing that is true about both rich people and poor people: Yahweh is the one who created all of them.
| دەوڵەمەند و هەژار لەمەدا یەکدەگرنەوە، دروستکەری هەردووکیان یەزدانە. |
3 Those who have good sense realize [that there is something] dangerous ahead, and they avoid it; 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. |
4 The reward that Yahweh gives to those who are humble and who revere him is that he causes them to be rich and honored and to live for a long time.
| پاداشتی بێفیزی و لەخواترسی دەوڵەمەندی و ڕێزداری و ژیانە. |
5 Because of the things that wicked people do, [they have difficulties/troubles] that will be like thorns and traps on the roads that they walk on [MET]; people who are careful/cautious will be able to stay away from those difficulties.
| چقڵ و تەڵە لە ڕێگای پیاوی خواردایە، بەڵام ئەوەی خۆی بپارێزێت لێی دوور دەکەوێتەوە. |
6 If you train/teach children to do what is right, all during their life they will act/behave in that manner.
| منداڵ لەسەر ئەو ڕێگایە ڕابهێنە کە پێویستە بیگرێت، پیریش بێت لێی لا نادات. |
7 Rich people rule over poor people harshly, and those who borrow money become like slaves [MET] of the people who lend [money to them].
| دەوڵەمەند بەسەر هەژاردا حوکم دەکات، قەرزاریش کۆیلەی خاوەن قەرزە. |
8 [If you plant corn or rice, corn or rice will grow]; [similarly], if you act unjustly, you will have disasters [MET]; and if you try to harm/oppress people [because you are angry with them], you will not be able to harm them.
| ئەوەی ناڕەوایی بچێنێت دروێنەی خراپە دەکات، کوتەکی تووڕەییشی دەفەوتێت. |
9 [God] will bless those who are generous [IDM], those who give some of their food to poor [people].
| ئەوەی چاوتێر بێت بەرەکەتدار دەبێت، چونکە لە نانی خۆی دەداتە هەژار. |
10 If you get rid of those who make fun of [everything that is good], there will no more arguing or quarreling or insulting [other people].
| گاڵتەجاڕ دەربکە، ناکۆکی دەڕوات، دووبەرەکی و ڕیسواییش نامێنێت. |
11 If you always act sincerely [IDM] and always speak kindly, the king will be your friend.
| ئەوەی حەزی لە دڵپاکی بێت و قسەی شیرین بێت، پاشا دەبێتە دۆستی. |
12 Yahweh [SYN] (watches over/takes care of) [those who have] good understanding/sense, but he ruins the plans/affairs of those who always try to deceive others.
| چاوی یەزدان چاودێری زانیاری دەکات، بەڵام قسەی ناپاکان سەرەوژێر دەکات. |
13 Lazy people [remain in their houses]; they say, “A lion might attack me if I go out into the street [to go to work]!”
| تەمبەڵ دەڵێت: «شێرێک لە دەرەوەیە! ئەگەر بچمە گۆڕەپانەکان دەکوژرێم!» |
14 What (wives who commit adultery/immoral women) say [to men] [MTY] is [like] a deep pit [MET] [into which those men fall]; those with whom Yahweh is angry will fall into that pit.
| دەمی ژنی بەدڕەوشت چاڵێکی قووڵە، ئەوەی بەر تووڕەیی یەزدان بکەوێت دەکەوێتە ناوی. |
15 Children [SYN] naturally do things that are foolish, but if you punish/spank them [PRS], they [will] (stop doing foolish things/learn to behave as they should).
| گێلی بە دڵی منداڵەوە گرێدراوە، بەڵام گۆچانی تەمبێکردن دووری دەخاتەوە لێی. |
16 Those who oppress poor [people] in order to become rich, and those who give [a bribe] to rich [people in order that the rich people will do a favor for them], will just lose their money.
| ئەوەی زۆرداری لە هەژار بکات بۆ ئەوەی بۆ خۆی زیاد بکات و ئەوەی بە دەوڵەمەند ببەخشێت، بێگومان هەردووکیان بەرەو نەبوونییە. |
17 [Now] listen [MTY] to what wise [people] have said; think carefully about what I am teaching you.
| گوێ شل بکە و قسەی دانایان ببیستە، دڵت بدە زانیاری من، |
18 It will be good to (keep these things in your minds/always remember them), because if you do that, you will be able to quote/recite them [to others].
| چونکە جوانە ئەگەر لە ناختدا هەڵیبگریت و تێکڕا لەسەر لێوەکانت بچەسپێن. |
19 [I want you to] trust in Yahweh, and that is the reason that I am telling them to you, now.
| بۆ ئەوەی پشتبەستنت بە یەزدان بێت، ئەمڕۆ تۆ فێر دەکەم، بەڵێ تۆ. |
20 I have written [RHQ] 30 (sayings/things that wise people have said) from which you will receive good advice and you will be able you to know [many good/useful things].
| ئایا سی پەندم بۆ نەنووسیوی سەبارەت بە ڕاوێژ و زانیاری، |
21 From them, you will learn what is right and what is true, in order that you will be able to bring back a good report to those who sent you [to school] (OR, give a good answer [to those who ask you questions]).
| بۆ ئەوەی دروستی قسەی ڕاستیت فێر بکەم، هەتا وەڵامە ڕاستییەکان بدەیتەوە ئەوانەی کە تۆیان ناردووە؟ |
22 [It is easy to] rob poor [people] who are helpless [and cannot defend themselves, but] never [do that]; and do not oppress in court those who are needy/afflicted,
| هەژار تاڵان مەکە لەبەر هەژارییەکەی و نەبوون وردوخاش مەکە لە دادگا، |
23 because Yahweh will speak to defend them, and he will punish those who steal things from others—by causing them to die.
| چونکە یەزدان بەرگری لە کێشەکەیان دەکات و ئەوانەی تاڵانیان دەکەن گیانیان تاڵان دەکات. |
24 Do not become friends with those who often become angry, and do not associate with those who cannot control their temper/anger,
| مەبە برادەری کەسی تووڕە، هاوڕێیەتی کەسی هەڵچوو مەکە، |
25 because you might start to act like they do and not be able to stop doing that.
| نەوەک لە ڕێچکەی ئەوان ڕابێیت، خۆت تووشی تەڵە بکەیت. |
26 If someone borrows money, do not be one of those who promises to pay what that person owes he cannot pay it back,
| لەوانە مەبە کە تەوقە دەکەن، دەستەبەری قەرزی خەڵک مەکە. |
27 because if you cannot pay it back, people will surely [RHQ] [come and] take away [everything you own], even your bed.
| ئەگەر نەتبوو بیدەیتەوە، بۆچی نوێنەکەی ژێرت ببردرێت. |
28 Do not [steal some of your neighbors’ land by] removing the boundary lines/markers that your ancestors placed/set.
| سنووری کۆن مەگوازەوە، ئەوەی باوباپیرانت دایانناوە. |
29 Know/Learn [RHQ] this about those who do their work very skillfully: They will quit working for ordinary people and will start working for kings [because the kings will want people like that to work for them].
| ئایا ئەو کەسەت بینیوە بە دەستوبردە لە کارەکەی؟ لەبەردەم پاشاکان ڕادەوەستێت، نەک لەبەردەم خەڵکی بێ ناوبانگ. |
