[A few] dead flies in [a bottle of] perfume cause [all] the perfume to stink. Similarly [SIM], a small amount of acting foolishly can have a greater effect than acting wisely.

They allow slaves [to ride] on horses [like rich people usually do], [but] they force officials to walk [like slaves usually do].
8 Orini koliƣan kixi uningƣa yiⱪilixi mumkin; tamni buzƣan kixini yilan qeⱪixi mumkin;
[It is possible that] those who dig pits will fall into one of those pits. [It is possible that] someone who tears down a wall will be bitten by a snake [that is in that wall].

10 Palta gal bolsa, birsi tiƣini bilimisǝ, paltini küqǝp qepixⱪa toƣra kelidu; biraⱪ danaliⱪ adǝmni utuⱪ-muwǝppǝⱪiyǝtkǝ erixtüridu.
If your axe is not sharp [DOU], you will need to work harder [to cut down a tree], but by being wise, you will succeed.

Wise people say [MTY] what is sensible, and because of that, people honor them; but foolish people are destroyed by what they say [MTY].

When foolish people start to talk, they say things that are foolish, and they end by saying things that are both wicked and foolish.
14 ǝmma ǝhmǝⱪ yǝnila gǝpni kɵpǝytidu. Biraⱪ ⱨeqkim kǝlgüsini bilmǝydu; uningdin keyinki ixlarni kim uningƣa eytalisun?
They talk (too much/without ceasing). None of us knows what will happen in the future, or what will happen after we die.

Some men are very lazy [and do not repair the rafters], with the result that the rafters sag [and collapse]; and if they do not repair the roof, water will leak into the house [when it rains].

Do not even think about cursing the king, or cursing rich [people, even] when you are [alone] in your bedroom, because [it is possible that] a little bird will hear [what you are saying], [and] tell those people what you said [about them].
