Proverbs 23
1 When you sit down to eat a meal with a (government official/king), think carefully about what (OR, who) is in front of you.
Дакэ стай ла масэ ла унул дин чей марь, я сяма че ай динаинте:
2 [Even] if you (have a big appetite/want to eat a lot of food), restrain yourself.
пуне-ць ун куцит ын гыт, дакэ ешть пря лаком.
3 Do not want to eat [a lot of] his fine food, because he may be trying to trick you.
Ну пофти мынкэруриле луй алесе, кэч сунт о хранэ ыншелэтоаре!
4 Do not [cause yourself to become very tired by] working very hard to become rich; be wise and stop doing that,
Ну те кинуи ка сэ те ымбогэцешть, ну-ць пуне причеперя ын ачаста!
5 because as soon as you look [MTY] at [all the money that you have acquired], it will be gone; it will [disappear as if it] suddenly grew wings [SIM] and flew up into the sky like an eagle.
Абя ць-ай арункат окий спре еа, ши ну май есте; кэч богэция ышь фаче арипь ши, ка вултурул, ышь я зборул спре черурь.
6 [If] someone who is stingy [invites you to a meal], do not eat [a lot of] his fine food,
Ну мынка пыня челуй пизмаш ши ну пофти мынкэруриле луй алесе,
7 because he will be thinking about how much [the food cost that you are eating]. He [will] say to you, “Eat and drink all that you want!”, but that is not what he [will] really be thinking.
кэч ел есте ка унул каре ышь фаче сокотелиле ын суфлет! „Мэнынкэ ши бя”, ыць ва зиче ел, дар инима луй ну есте ку тине.
8 [When you realize what he is really thinking, it will cause you to want to] vomit what you have eaten; and your kind words [telling him that you are enjoying the meal] will be wasted.
Буката пе каре ай мынкат-о о вей вэрса ши кувинтеле плэкуте пе каре ле вей спуне сунт пердуте.
9 (Do not [waste time by]/It is useless) talking to foolish people; they will [only] despise the wise things that you say.
Ну ворби ла урекя челуй небун, кэч ел несокотеште кувинтеле тале ынцелепте!
10 Do not [steal someone’s property by] removing a boundary marker that has been there for a long time, and do not take for yourself the land that belongs to orphans,
Ну мута хотарул вэдувей ши ну интра ын огорул орфанилор,
11 because Yahweh is strong, and he is [like] a relative that has the responsibility to defend them, he will [stand up in court and] argue for them and against you.
кэч Рэзбунэторул лор есте путерник: Ел ле ва апэра причина ымпотрива та.
12 Pay attention to what [your teachers] teach you, and try to learn from the wise things that they say.
Дескиде-ць инима ла ынвэцэтурэ ши урекиле ла кувинтеле штиинцей!
13 Do not refuse to discipline your children; if you punish/spank them, it will not cause them to die,
Ну круца копилул де мустраре, кэч, дакэ-л вей лови ку нуяуа, ну ва мури!
Ловинду-л ку нуяуа, ый скоць суфлетул дин Локуинца морцилор. (Sheol h7585)
15 My son/child, if you [SYN] become wise, I [SYN] will be very happy.
Фиуле, дакэ-ць ва фи инима ынцеляптэ, инима мя се ва букура;
16 I [SYN] will rejoice when I hear you [SYN] say what is right/wise.
ши лэунтрул меу се ва весели кынд бузеле тале вор спуне че есте бине.
17 Do not envy sinful people; instead, revere Yahweh all of your life.
Сэ ну-ць пизмуяскэ инима пе чей пэкэтошь, чи сэ айбэ тотдяуна фрикэ де Домнул,
18 [If you do that], you will be happy in the future, and [God] will certainly [do for you what you are] confidently expecting him to do.
кэч есте о рэсплатэ ши ну ци се ва тэя нэдеждя.
19 My son/child, listen carefully to me and become wise, and think about (all that you do/your behavior).
Аскултэ, фиуле, ши фий ынцелепт; ындряптэ-ць инима пе каля чя дряптэ!
20 Do not associate with those who drink a lot of (wine/strong drink) or with those who (are gluttons/eat more than they should),
Ну фи принтре чей че бяу вин, нич принтре чей че се ымбуйбэ ку карне!
21 because drunkards and gluttons will become poor; and if all that you do is eat and sleep, you will [soon] (be wearing rags/not have any money to buy clothes).
Кэч бецивул ши чел че се дедэ ла ымбуйбаре сэрэческ, ши аципиря те фаче сэ порць здренце.
22 Pay attention to what your father tells you, and (do not neglect/take care of) [LIT] your mother when she is old.
Аскултэ пе татэл тэу, каре те-а нэскут, ши ну несокоти пе мамэ-та кынд а ымбэтрынит.
23 Try to know/learn what is wise, and get good instruction and understanding; and do not throw those things away.
Кумпэрэ адевэрул – ши ну-л винде –, ынцелепчуня, ынвэцэтура ши причеперя.
24 Righteous [children] will cause their parents to be very happy; those whose children are wise are proud of them.
Татэл челуй неприхэнит се веселеште ши чел че дэ наштере унуй ынцелепт се букурэ.
25 [Do what will] cause your father to be glad and enable your mother [also] to be happy.
Сэ се букуре татэл тэу ши мама та, сэ се веселяскэ чя каре те-а нэскут.
26 My son, heed what I say to you, and allow what I do to be an example for you.
Фиуле, дэ-Мь инима та ши сэ гэсяскэ плэчере окий тэй ын кэиле Меле!
27 Prostitutes and immoral women [DOU] are [like] [MET] a deep pit or a well [that you may fall into].
Кэч курва есте о гроапэ адынкэ ши стрэина, о фынтынэ стрымтэ.
28 They wait [for you] like robbers [SIM], and they cause many men to (be unfaithful to/have sex with women who are not) their wives.
Еа пындеште ка ун хоц ши мэреште ынтре оамень нумэрул челор стрикаць.
29 I will tell you [RHQ] what kind of people are always miserable and sad. I will tell you [RHQ] which people are always causing arguments/quarrels and who are always complaining. I will tell you [RHQ] who are injured in fights and whose eyes are always red/bloodshot.
Але куй сунт ваетеле? Але куй сунт офтэриле? Але куй сунт неынцелеӂериле? Але куй сунт плынӂериле? Але куй сунт рэнириле фэрэ причинэ? Ай куй сунт окий роший?
30 [It is] those who drink a lot of wine, who try drinking other kinds of strong drinks.
Але челор че ынтырзие ла вин ши се дук сэ голяскэ пахарул ку вин аместекат.
31 Do not look with pleasure at red wine that looks nice, and which sparkles when it is [poured out] into cups, and which tastes good as you drink it,
Ну те уйта ла вин кынд курӂе рошу ши фаче мэргэритаре ын пахар; ел алунекэ ушор,
32 because the next morning [you will feel like] you have been bitten by a poisonous snake [DOU].
дар пе урмэ ка ун шарпе мушкэ ши ынцяпэ ка ун басилиск.
33 You [SYN] will [think that you are] seeing strange/weird things, and you [SYN] will not be able to think clearly or speak clearly.
Окий ци се вор уйта дупэ фемеиле алтора ши инима ыць ва ворби простий.
34 You will think you are in a ship that is tossing on the sea; you be like [SIM] someone who is trying to sleep when the ship is rolling from one side to the other.
Вей фи ка ун ом кулкат ын мижлокул мэрий, ка ун ом кулкат пе вырфул унуй катарг.
35 You will say, “[I think that] someone struck me, but he did not hurt me; he hit me, but I did not feel it. When will I (wake up/feel normal again) in order that I can drink some more wine?”
„М-а ловит …, дар ну мэ доаре!… М-а бэтут…, дар ну симт нимик! Кынд мэ вой трези? Май вряу вин!”
