Proverbs 27
1 Do not boast about [what you will do] tomorrow, because you do not know what will happen [PRS] on any day.
Yarınla övünme, Çünkü ne getireceğini bilemezsin.
2 Do not praise yourself [MTY, PRS]; allow others to praise you. If someone else praises you, that is okay.
Seni kendi ağzın değil, başkaları övsün, Kendi dudakların değil, yabancı övsün.
3 [It causes pain to our bodies to carry heavy] stones or [a pail full of] sand, but doing something stupid/foolish [can cause] great [pain to other people’s spirits.]
Taş ağırdır, kum bir yüktür, Ama ahmağın kışkırtması ikisinden de ağırdır.
4 It is cruel to be angry [with others], and our being angry sometimes destroys [others], but being jealous of someone is [RHQ] often more cruel than that.
Öfke zalim, hiddet azgındır, Ama kıskançlığa kim dayanabilir?
5 It is better to correct someone openly than to show that you l don’t love that person [by not correcting him].
Açık bir azar, Gizli tutulan sevgiden iyidir.
6 If a friend criticizes you, [he is a good friend and] you can trust him; but if one of your enemies kisses you, he is [probably wanting to] deceive you.
Düşmanın öpücükleri aldatıcıdır, Ama dostun seni iyiliğin için yaralar.
7 When someone’s stomach is full, he does not want to eat honey; but when someone is [very] hungry, he thinks that [even] bitter things taste sweet.
Tok insanın canı balı bile çekmez, Aç kişiye en acı şey tatlı gelir.
8 Anyone who wanders [far] from his home/family is like [SIM] a bird that is far from its nest.
Yuvasından uzak kalan kuş nasılsa, Yurdundan uzak kalan insan da öyledir.
9 [Putting olive] oil and perfume on a person’s skin causes him to feel good, but having a friend [who gives] good advice [is even better].
Güzel koku ve buhur canı ferahlatır, Dostun verdiği öğüt insana tatlı gelir.
10 Do not neglect your friends or your parents’ friends; and at a time when you are experiencing a disaster, do not go to a relative [who lives far away to request his help]; someone who lives near you can help you more than relatives who live far away.
Kendi dostunu da babanın dostunu da bırakma Ve felakete uğradığın gün kardeşinin evine gitme; Yakın komşun uzaktaki kardeşten yeğdir.
11 My child/son, cause me to be happy by becoming wise, in order that I will [know how to] reply to those who would criticize me [about your behavior].
Oğlum, bilgece davran ki yüreğim sevinsin, Beni ayıplayana yanıt vereyim.
12 Those who have good sense will realize that there is something dangerous ahead, and they will hide; those who do not have good sense [just] keep going, and later they will suffer because of [doing] that.
İhtiyatlı kişi tehlikeyi görünce saklanır, Bönse öne atılır ve zarar görür.
13 [You deserve to] have your property taken from you if you [foolishly] promise to a stranger (OR, a strange woman) that you will pay what she owes if she is unable to pay it [DOU].

14 If you rise early in the morning and call out a greeting to your neighbor [while he is still sleeping], he will consider it to be a curse, [not a blessing].
Sabah sabah komşuya verilen gürültülü bir selam Küfür sayılır.
15 [Having] a wife that is [constantly] nagging is as [bad as listening] to rain continually dripping on a rainy day.
Kavgacı kadının dırdırı Yağmurlu günde damlaların dinmeyen sesi gibidir.
16 [Trying] to restrain/stop her [from doing that] is as [difficult] [SIM] [as trying] to stop the wind or [trying] to hold oil in your hand.
Böyle bir kadını dizginlemeye kalkmak, Rüzgarı ya da yağı avuçta tutmaya çalışmak gibidir.
17 [We can use one] iron tool to sharpen [another] iron [tool]; similarly [SIM], [when one person shares] what he is thinking, it can help other people [to think more clearly].
Demir demiri biler, İnsan da insanı...
18 Those who take care of fig trees will have figs to eat; [similarly], servants who protect their master will be honored [by him].
İncir ağacını budayan meyvesini yer, Efendisine hizmet eden onurlandırılır.
19 [When a person looks] in the water, he sees his own face; similarly [SIM], [when we look at] a person’s behavior, we know what he is thinking.
Su görüntümüzü nasıl yansıtıyorsa, Yürek de insanın içini yansıtır.
20 [It is as though] the place where the dead people are is always wanting more people to [die and] come there; and humans [SYN] are always wanting to acquire more things, [too]. (Sheol h7585)
Ölüm ve yıkım diyarı insana doymaz, İnsanın gözü de hiç doymaz. (Sheol h7585)
21 [Workers put] silver and gold in a very hot furnace [to burn out what is impure], and [SIM] people learn [what we are really like when they see how we react when people] praise us.
Altın ocakta, gümüş potada sınanır, İnsansa aldığı övgüyle sınanır.
22 Even if you beat/crush a fool severely [like] [MET] you pulverize grain with a pestle, you [probably] will not be able to cause him to stop (being foolish/doing foolish things).
Ahmağı buğdayla birlikte dibekte tokmakla dövsen bile, Ahmaklığından kurtulmaz.
23 Take good care of your flocks of sheep and herds of cattle,
Davarına iyi bak, Sığırlarına dikkat et.
24 because the money [that you acquired from selling animals previously] will not (last/stay with you) forever; similarly [SIM], governments [MTY] certainly do not [RHQ] last forever.
Çünkü zenginlik kalıcı değildir Ve taç kuşaktan kuşağa geçmez.
25 After you cut the hay [DOU] and [store it to feed the animals in the winter while] a new crop of hay is growing,
Çayır biçilince, yeni çimen çıkınca, Dağlardaki otlar toplanınca,
26 you will be able to [shear the sheep and] make clothes from the wool, and you will get money from selling [some of] the goats to buy [more] land,
Kuzular seni giydirir, Tekeler tarlanın bedeli olur.
27 and you will get enough milk from the [other] goats for you and your family and your female servants.
Keçilerin sütü yalnız seni değil, Ev halkını, hizmetçilerini de doyurmaya yeter.
