Proverbs 26
1 Just [like] [SIM] [it is not appropriate for] snow [to fall] in summer time, or rain [to fall] at harvest time, it is not appropriate to praise/honor foolish people.
| وەک بەفر لە هاوین و باران لە کاتی دروێنەدا، ئاواش ڕێزلێنان لە گێل ناوەشێتەوە. |
2 Like [SIM] birds that fly by [and do not alight/land on anything], if someone curses you, it cannot hurt you if you (do not deserve them/have not done to him what is wrong).
| وەک چۆلەکەی فڕیو و پەڕەسێلکەی باڵگرتوو، ئاواشە نەفرەت بەبێ هۆ نایێت. |
3 It is necessary to whip a horse and to put a bridle on a donkey [to force them to go where we want them to go], and similarly [SIM] [it is often necessary to strike] foolish people with a stick [to cause them to do what is right].
| قامچی بۆ ئەسپ و لغاو بۆ گوێدرێژە، کوتەکیش بۆ پشتی گێلەکانە. |
4 If a foolish person asks a foolish question, [do not answer him], because [if you answer his question], you are just as foolish as he is.
| وەڵامی گێل مەدەوە بەپێی گێلایەتییەکەی، نەوەک تۆش وەک ئەوت لێ بێت. |
5 If you give a foolish answer to someone who asks a foolish question, he will realize that he is (not very wise/foolish).
| وەڵامی گێل بدەوە بەپێی گێلایەتییەکەی، نەوەک لەبەرچاوی خۆی ببێت بە دانا. |
6 Anyone who asks a foolish person to take a message to someone [is himself doing something as foolish as] cutting off his own feet or drinking poison.
| وەک بڕینەوەی قاچەکانی خۆیەتی و نۆشینی ستەمە، ئەوەی بە دەستی گێل پەیام بنێرێت. |
7 A lame man cannot use his legs, and similarly [SIM] [it is useless for] a foolish person to speak [MTY] (proverbs/wise sayings).
| وەک شۆڕبوونەوەی قاچەکانی گۆجە، پەند لە دەمی گێلەکان. |
8 Tying a stone in a sling [so that it cannot be thrown at a target] is [as foolish as] [SIM] honoring a foolish person.
| وەک گرێدانی بەرد بە بەردەقانییەوە، ئەوەی ڕێز لە گێل دەگرێت. |
9 If a drunk person waves some thorns/brambles with his hand, [he is not able to accomplish anything useful by doing that] (OR, [he does not feel it when a thorn sticks in his hand]); similarly, if foolish people speak [MTY] proverbs, [they do not help anyone who hears them].
| وەک دڕکە لە دەستی سەرخۆش، پەند لە دەمی گێلەکان. |
10 A man who shoots arrows [to try] to wound everybody who is near [is foolish]; similarly, anyone who hires a foolish person [who passes by is very foolish].
| وەک تیرهاوێژێکە کوێرانە لە خەڵک بگرێت، بەکرێگری گێل و ڕێبوار. |
11 A foolish person will foolishly do something stupid a second time; it is [like] [SIM] a dog returning to [eat] what it has vomited.
| وەک سەگ بگەڕێتەوە سەر ڕشانەوەکەی، گێلیش گێلایەتییەکەی دووبارەی دەکاتەوە. |
12 [God] can help/bless foolish people more easily than he can help/bless people who are not wise [RHQ], but think that they are wise.
| کەست بینیوە لەبەرچاوی خۆی دانا بێت؟ گێل لەو زیاتر ئومێدی پێ دەکرێت. |
13 Lazy people [just stay inside their houses and do nothing]; [they keep] saying “[I think] there is a lion in the street!”
| تەمبەڵ دەڵێت: «شێر لەسەر ڕێگایە، نەڕەشێر لەنێو گۆڕەپانەکانە.» |
14 A door [continually] swings back and forth on its hinges [and does not go anywhere]; similarly [SIM], lazy people [just continually turn over] in their beds [and never do anything].
| دەرگا لەسەر ڕێزە دەسووڕێتەوە، تەمبەڵیش لەناو نوێنەکەی. |
15 Some people are extremely lazy; they put their hand in a dish [to get some food] but do not [even] lift the food up to their mouths.
| تەمبەڵ دەست دەخاتە ناو قاپ، زەحمەتە بۆی بیباتە ناو دەمی. |
16 Lazy people think that they are wiser than seven/several people who can answer [others’ questions] with good sense.
| تەمبەڵ لەبەرچاوی خۆی داناترە لە حەوت کەس کە وەڵامی ژیرانە دەدەنەوە. |
17 Anyone who (meddles/involves himself) in a quarrel that does not concern him is [as foolish as] [SIM] someone who tries to grab a passing dog by its ears.
| وەک گرتنی سەگێکە بە گوێیەکانی ئەوەی ڕێبوارە و خۆی دەخاتە ناو ناکۆکییەکەوە کە هی ئەو نییە. |
18 Crazy people who shoot burning arrows to kill people
| وەک شێتێک پشکۆ و تیری مەرگ بهاوێژێت، |
19 are as foolish as those who deceive someone else and [then] say, “I was only joking.”
| ئاوایە ئەوەی فێڵ لە دراوسێکەی بکات و بڵێت: «تەنها گاڵتەم کرد!» |
20 If there is no [more] firewood [to put on the fire], the fire will go out; similarly [SIM], if there are no people who (gossip/tell people things that are not true), quarreling will end.
| دار نەبێت ئاگر دەکوژێتەوە، دەمشڕ نەبێت دووبەرەکی نامێنێت. |
21 [Putting] charcoal on burning coals or [putting] wood on a fire [causes the fire to keep burning]; similarly, people who like to quarrel cause people to keep arguing.
| خەڵووز بۆ پشکۆ و دار بۆ ئاگرە، پیاوی شەڕانگێزیش بۆ ورووژاندنی ناکۆکییە. |
22 People [enjoy listening to what gossips say about others just like] [SIM] they enjoy tasty food; they [enjoy listening to what gossips tell them like] they enjoy swallowing tasty food.
| قسەکانی دەمشڕ وەک پارووی بەتامە، شۆڕ دەبێتەوە ناو ورگ. |
23 People who say nice things when they are thinking about doing evil things are like a nice glaze/covering on a [cheap] clay pot.
| وەک گۆزەی گڵینی داپۆشراوە بە خڵتی زیو قسەی شیرین لە دڵێکی خراپەوە. |
24 Those who hate someone and are saying [MTY] something very different from what they are thinking are hypocrites; they are only planning [to harm that person].
| قین لە دڵ بە لێوەکانی خۆی دەشارێتەوە، بەڵام لە ناخیدا فڕوفێڵ دادەنێتەوە. |
25 When they say nice things, do not believe them, because in their inner beings are many things that [Yahweh] hates.
| ئەگەر قسەی شیرینی کرد باوەڕی پێ مەکە، چونکە حەوت شتی قێزەون لە دڵیدایە. |
26 They try to deceive people to cause them to think that they do not hate [that person], but in a public meeting, the people will find out the evil things [that they have done].
| هەرچەندە بە فێڵ قینی خۆی بشارێتەوە، خراپەی لەناو کۆمەڵدا ئاشکرا دەبێت. |
27 Those who dig a deep pit [for other people to fall into] will fall into it themselves; rocks will roll down on those who start to cause rocks to roll down [to crush someone].
| ئەوەی چاڵێک هەڵکەنێت خۆی تێی دەکەوێت، ئەوەی بەردێک گلۆر بکاتەوە بەرەو خۆی دەگەڕێتەوە. |
28 Those [MTY] who tell lies to others [really] hate them, and those who deceive [others] ruin them.
| زمانی درۆ ڕقی لەوانە دەبێتەوە کە برینداریان دەکات، زمانی لووسیش وێرانکاری دەکات. |
