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.
Кум ну се потривеск зэпада вара ши плоая ын тимпул сечеришулуй, аша ну се потривеште слава пентру ун небун.
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).
Кум саре врабия ынкоаче ши ынколо ши кум збоарэ рындуника, аша ну нимереште блестемул неынтемеят.
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].
Бичул есте пентру кал, фрыул, пентру мэгар ши нуяуа, пентру спинаря небунилор.
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.
Ну рэспунде небунулуй дупэ небуния луй, ка сэ ну семень ши ту ку ел.
5 If you give a foolish answer to someone who asks a foolish question, he will realize that he is (not very wise/foolish).
Рэспунде ынсэ небунулуй дупэ небуния луй, ка сэ ну се крядэ ынцелепт.
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.
Чел че тримите о солие принтр-ун небун ышь тае сингур пичоареле ши бя недрептатя.
7 A lame man cannot use his legs, and similarly [SIM] [it is useless for] a foolish person to speak [MTY] (proverbs/wise sayings).
Кум сунт пичоареле ологулуй, аша есте ши о ворбэ ынцеляптэ ын гура унор небунь.
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.
Кум ай пуне о пятрэ ын праштие, аша есте кынд дай мэрире унуй небун.
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].
Ка ун спин каре вине ын мына унуй ом бят, аша есте о ворбэ ынцеляптэ ын гура небунилор.
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].
Ка ун аркаш каре рэнеште пе тоатэ лумя, аша есте чел че токмеште пе небунь ши пе ынтыий вениць.
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.
Кум се ынтоарче кынеле ла че а вэрсат, аша се ынтоарче небунул ла небуния луй.
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.
Дакэ везь ун ом каре се креде ынцелепт, поць сэ ай май мултэ нэдежде пентру ун небун декыт пентру ел.
13 Lazy people [just stay inside their houses and do nothing]; [they keep] saying “[I think] there is a lion in the street!”
Ленешул зиче: „Афарэ есте ун леу, пе улице есте ун леу!”
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].
Кум се ынвыртеште уша пе цыцыниле ей, аша се ынвыртеште ленешул ын патул луй.
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.
Ленешул ышь вырэ мына ын блид ши-й вине греу с-о дукэ ярэшь ла гурэ.
16 Lazy people think that they are wiser than seven/several people who can answer [others’ questions] with good sense.
Ленешул се креде май ынцелепт декыт шапте оамень каре рэспунд ку жудекатэ.
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.
Ун трекэтор каре се аместекэ ынтр-о чартэ каре ну-л привеште есте ка унул каре апукэ ун кыне де урекь.
18 Crazy people who shoot burning arrows to kill people
Ка небунул каре арункэ сэӂець апринсе ши учигэтоаре,
19 are as foolish as those who deceive someone else and [then] say, “I was only joking.”
аша есте омул каре ыншалэ пе апроапеле сэу ши апой зиче: „Ам врут доар сэ глумеск!”
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.
Кынд ну май сунт лемне, фокул се стинӂе; ши кынд ну май есте ничун клеветитор, чарта се потолеште.
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.
Дупэ кум кэрбунеле фаче жэратик ши лемнул, фок, тот аша ши омул гылчевитор апринде чарта.
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.
Кувинтеле клеветиторулуй сунт ка ниште прэжитурь, алунекэ пынэ ын фундул мэрунтаелор.
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.
Ка згура де арӂинт пусэ пе ун чоб де пэмынт, аша сунт бузеле апринсе ши о инимэ ря.
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].
Чел че урэште се префаче ку бузеле луй ши ынэунтрул луй прегэтеште ыншелэчуня.
25 When they say nice things, do not believe them, because in their inner beings are many things that [Yahweh] hates.
Кынд ыць ворбеште ку глас дулче, ну-л креде, кэч шапте урычунь сунт ын инима луй.
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].
Кяр дакэ-шь аскунде ура ын префэкэторие, тотушь рэутатя луй се ва дескопери ын адунаре.
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].
Чине сапэ гроапа алтуя каде ел ын еа ши пятра се ынтоарче песте чел че о прэвэлеште.
28 Those [MTY] who tell lies to others [really] hate them, and those who deceive [others] ruin them.
Лимба минчиноасэ урэште пе чей пе каре-й добоарэ еа ши гура лингушитоаре прегэтеште пеиря.
