Pend-nesihetler 16
1 Köngüldiki niyetler insan’gha tewedur; Biraq tilning jawabi Perwerdigarning ilkididur.
2 Insan özining hemme qilghan ishini pak dep biler; Lékin qelbdiki niyetlerni Perwerdigar tarazigha sélip tartip körer.
All the works of the humble [man] are manifest with God; but the ungodly shall perish in an evil day.
3 Niyet qilghan ishliringni Perwerdigargha tapshurghin, Shundaq qilghanda pilanliring piship chiqar.
4 Perwerdigar barliq mewjudiyetning herbirini melum meqset bilen apiride qilghan; Hetta yamanlarnimu balayi’apet küni üchün yaratqandur.
5 Tekebburluqqa tolghan köngüllerning herbiri Perwerdigargha yirginchliktur; Qol tutushup birleshsimu, jazasiz qalmas.
Every one that is proud in heart is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless. The beginning of a good way is to do justly; and it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices. He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: and they that rightly seek him shall find peace. All of the works of the Lord [are done] with righteousness; and the ungodly [man] is kept for the evil day.
6 Muhebbet-shepqet we heqiqet bilen gunahlar kafaret qilinip yépilar; Perwerdigardin eyminish ademlerni yamanliqtin xaliy qilar.
7 Ademning ishliri Perwerdigarni xursen qilsa, U hetta düshmenlirinimu uning bilen inaqlashturar.
8 Halal alghan az, Haram alghan köptin ewzeldur.
9 Insan könglide öz yolini toxtitar; Emma qedemlirini toghrilaydighan Perwerdigardur.
10 Hetta padishahning lewlirige qaritip epsun oqulsimu, Uning aghzi toghra hökümdin chetnimes.
[There is] an oracle upon the lips of a king; and his mouth shall not err in judgement.
11 Adil taraza-mizanlar Perwerdigargha xastur; Taraza tashlirining hemmisini U yasighandur.
The poise of the balance is righteousness with the Lord; and his works are righteous measures.
12 Padishah rezillik qilsa yirginchliktur, Chünki text heqqaniyet bilenla mehkem turar.
An evil-doer is an abomination to a king; for the throne of rule is established by righteousness.
13 Heqqaniy sözligen lewler padishahlarning xursenlikidur; Ular durus sözligüchilerni yaxshi körer.
Righteous lips are acceptable to a king; and he loves right words.
14 Padishahning qehri goya ölümning elchisidur; Biraq dana kishi [uning ghezipini] tinchlandurar.
The anger of a king is a messenger of death; but a wise man will pacify him.
15 Padishahning chirayining nuri kishige jan kirgüzer; Uning shepqiti waqtida yaghqan «kéyinki yamghur»dur.
The son of a king is in the light of life; and they that are in favour with him are as a cloud of latter rain.
16 Danaliq élish altun élishtin neqeder ewzeldur; Yorutulushni tallash kümüshni tallashtin shunche üstündur!
The brood of wisdom is more to be chosen than gold, and the brood of prudence more to be chosen than silver.
17 Durus ademning égiz kötürülgen yoli yamanliqtin ayrilishtur; Öz yoligha éhtiyat qilghan kishi jénini saqlap qalar.
The paths of life turn aside from evil; and the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; and he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; and he that loves his life will spare his mouth.
18 Meghrurluq halak bolushtin awwal kéler, Tekebburluq yiqilishtin awwal kéler.
Pride goes before destruction, and folly before a fall.
19 Kemter bolup miskinler bilen bardi-keldide bolush, Tekebburlar bilen haram mal bölüshkendin ewzeldur.
Better is a meek-spirited [man] with lowliness, than one who divides spoils with the proud.
20 Kimki ishni pem-paraset bilen qilsa payda tapar; Perwerdigargha tayan’ghan bolsa, bext-saadet körer.
[He who is] skilful in business finds good: but he that trusts in God is most blessed.
21 Köngli dana kishi segek atilar; Yéqimliq sözler ademlerning bilimini ashurar.
[Men] call the wise and understanding evil: but they that are pleasing in speech shall hear more.
22 Pem-paraset özige ige bolghanlargha hayatliqning buliqidur; Eqilsizlerge telim bermekning özi eqilsizliktur.
Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessors; but the instruction of fools is evil.
23 Aqilane kishining qelbi aghzidin eqil chiqirar; Uning lewzige bilimni ziyade qilar.
The heart of the wise will discern the [things which proceed] from his own mouth; and on his lips he will wear knowledge.
24 Yéqimliq sözler goya heseldur; Köngüllerni xush qilip ten’ge dawadur.

There are ways that seem to be right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell. (questioned)
26 Ishligüchining ishtiyi uni ishqa salar; Uning qarni uninggha heydekchilik qilar.
A man who labours, labours for himself, and drives from [him] his own ruin.
27 Muttehem kishi yaman gepni kolap yürer; Uning lewliri lawuldap turghan otqa oxshar.
But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.
28 Egri adem jédel-majira tughdurghuchidur; Gheywetchi yéqin dostlarni ayriwéter.
A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates friends.
29 Zorawan kishi yéqin adimini azdurar; Uni yaman yolgha bashlap kirer.
A transgressor tries [to ensnare] friends, and leads them in ways [that are] not good.
30 Közini yumuwalghan kishi yaman niyetni oylar; Léwini chishligen kishi yamanliqqa teyyardur.

32 Asan achchiqlimaydighan kishi palwandin ewzeldur; Özini tutuwalghan sheher alghandinmu üstündur.
A man slow to anger is better than a strong [man]; and he that governs [his] temper better than he that takes a city.
33 Chek étekke tashlan’ghini bilen, Lékin netijisi pütünley Perwerdigardindur.
All [evils] come upon the ungodly into [their] bosoms; but all righteous things [come] of the Lord.
