Pǝnd-nǝsiⱨǝtlǝr 23
1 Katta ǝrbab bilǝn ⱨǝmdastihan bolsang, Aldingdiki kim ikǝnlikini obdan oylan.
When you sit down for a meal with a ruler, look carefully at what is placed before you,
2 Ixtiying yaman bolsa, Gelingƣa piqaⱪ tǝnglǝp turƣandǝk ɵzüngni tart.
and cut down if you have a big appetite.
3 Uning nazunemǝtlirini tama ⱪilma, Ular adǝm aldaydiƣan tamaⱪlardur.
Don't be greedy for his fancy food, for it's offered with deceptive motives.
4 Bay bolimǝn dǝp ɵzüngni upratma; Ɵzüngning zeⱨningni bu ixⱪa ⱪaratma.
Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich—be wise enough not to bother!
5 [Bayliⱪlarƣa] kɵz tikixing bilǝnla, ular yoⱪ bolidu; Pul-mal dǝrwǝⱪǝ ɵzigǝ ⱪanat yasap, Huddi bürküttǝk asmanƣa uqup ketǝr.
It disappears in the blink of an eye, suddenly growing wings and flying off into the sky like an eagle.
6 Aq kɵzning nenini yemǝ, Uning esil nazunemǝtlirini tama ⱪilma;
Don't accept meal invitations from miserly people; don't be greedy for their fancy food,
7 Qünki uning kɵngli ⱪandaⱪ bolƣandǝk, ɵzimu xundaⱪ. U aƣzida: — Ⱪeni, alsila, iqsilǝ! — desimu, Biraⱪ kɵnglidǝ seni oyliƣini yoⱪ.
for what they're thinking inside is what they really are. They say, “Come on, eat and drink!”—but in their minds they don't really care about you.
8 Yegǝn bir yutum taamnimu ⱪusuwetisǝn, Uningƣa ⱪilƣan qirayliⱪ sɵzliringmu bikarƣa kǝtkǝn bolidu.
You'll vomit up the little pieces you've eaten, and your kind words of appreciation will be wasted.
9 Əhmǝⱪⱪǝ yol kɵrsitip salma, Qünki u ǝⱪil sɵzliringni kɵzgǝ ilmas.
Don't talk to stupid people because they'll ridicule your wise words.
10 Ⱪǝdimdǝ bekitkǝn yǝrning pasil taxlirini yɵtkimǝ, Yetimlarning etizliriƣimu ayaƣ basma;
Don't move ancient boundary markers, and don't encroach on fields belonging to orphans,
11 Qünki ularning Ⱨǝmjǝmǝt-Ⱪutⱪuzƣuqisi intayin küqlüktur; U Ɵzi ular üqün üstüngdin dǝwa ⱪilar.
for their Protector is powerful and he will plead their case against you.
12 Nǝsiⱨǝtkǝ kɵngül ⱪoy, Ilim-bilimlǝrgǝ ⱪulaⱪ sal.
Focus your mind on instruction; listen intently to words of knowledge.
13 Balangƣa tǝrbiyǝ berixtin erinmǝ; Əgǝr tayaⱪ bilǝn ursang, u ɵlüp kǝtmǝydu;
Don't keep from disciplining your children—a beating won't kill them.
If you use physical correction you can save them from death. (Sheol h7585)
15 I oƣlum, dana bolsang, Mening ⱪǝlbim ⱪanqǝ hux bolar idi!
My son, if you think wisely then I'll be happy;
16 Aƣzingda orunluⱪ sɵzlǝr bolsa, iq-iqimdin xadlinimǝn.
I'll be delighted when you say what's right.
17 Gunaⱨ sadir ⱪilƣuqilarƣa rǝxk ⱪilma, Ⱨǝrdaim Pǝrwǝrdigardin ǝyminixtǝ turƣin;
Don't think enviously of sinners, but always remember to honor the Lord,
18 Xundaⱪ ⱪilƣiningda jǝzmǝn kɵridiƣan yahxi kününg bolidu, Arzu-ümiding bikarƣa kǝtmǝs.
for there's definitely a future for you, and your hope will not be crushed.
19 I oƣlum, sɵzümgǝ ⱪulaⱪ selip dana bol, Ⱪǝlbingni [Hudaning] yoliƣa baxliƣin.
Pay attention, my son, and be wise; make sure your mind concentrates on following the right way.
20 Mǝyhorlarƣa arilaxma, Nǝpsi yaman gɵxhorlar bilǝn bardi-kǝldi ⱪilma;
Don't join in with people who drink too much wine or who stuff themselves with meat.
21 Qünki ⱨaraⱪkǝx bilǝn nǝpsi yaman ahirida yoⱪsulluⱪta ⱪalar, Ƣǝplǝt uyⱪusiƣa patⱪanlarƣa jǝndǝ kiyimni kiygüzǝr.
For people who get drunk and overeat lose all they've got, and they spend so much time dozing that all they have left to wear is rags.
22 Seni tapⱪan atangning sɵzini angla, Anang ⱪeriƣanda uningƣa ⱨɵrmǝtsizlik ⱪilma.
Pay attention to your father, and don't disregard your mother when she's old.
23 Ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝtni setiwal, Uni ⱨǝrgiz setiwǝtmǝ. Danaliⱪ, tǝrbiyǝ wǝ yorutuluxnimu al.
Invest in truth—and don't sell it! Invest in wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
24 Ⱨǝⱪⱪaniy balining atisi qong huxalliⱪ tapar; Dana oƣulni tapⱪan atisi uningdin hursǝn bolar.
Children who do right make their fathers very happy; a wise son brings joy to his father.
25 Ata-anangni sɵyündürüp, Seni tuƣⱪan anangni hux ⱪil.
Make your father and mother happy; bring joy to her who gave birth to you.
26 I oƣlum, ⱪǝlbingni manga tapxur; Kɵzliringmu ⱨayatliⱪ yollirimƣa tikilsun!
My son, give me your undivided attention, and cheerfully follow my example.
27 Qünki paⱨixǝ ayal qongⱪur oridur, Buzuⱪ yat ayal tar zindandur;
A prostitute is like being trapped in a pit; an immoral woman is like getting stuck a narrow well,
28 Ular ⱪaraⱪqidǝk mɵküwelip, Insaniyǝt arisidiki wapasizlarni kɵpǝytǝr.
Like a robber, she lies in wait ready to ambush men and make more of them unfaithful to their wives.
29 Kimdǝ azab bar? Kimdǝ dǝrd-ǝlǝm? Kim jedǝl iqidǝ ⱪalar? Kim nalǝ-pǝryad kɵtürǝr? Kim sǝwǝbsiz yarilinar? Kimning kɵzi ⱪizirip ketǝr?
Who's in trouble? Who's in pain? Who's arguing? Who's complaining? Who's injured for no reason? Who's got bloodshot eyes?
30 Dǝl xarab üstidǝ uzun olturƣan, Əbjǝx xarabtin tetixⱪa aldiriƣan mǝyhorlar!
—those who spend a long time drinking wine, those who are always trying some new cocktail.
31 Xarabning ajayib ⱪizilliⱪiƣa, uning jamdiki julaliⱪiƣa, Kixining gelidin xundaⱪ siliⱪ ɵtkǝnlikigǝ mǝptun bolup ⱪalma!
Don't let the look of wine tempt you—how red it is, how it sparkles in the cup, how smooth it feels as it goes down.
32 Ahirida u zǝⱨǝrlik yilandǝk qeⱪiwalidu, Oⱪ yilandǝk nǝxtirini sanjiydu.
In the end it bites like a serpent, it stings like a snake.
33 Kɵz aldingda ƣǝlitǝ mǝnzirilǝr kɵrünidu, Aƣzingdin ⱪalaymiⱪan sɵzlǝr qiⱪidu.
You'll hallucinate, seeing strange things, and your confused mind will make you say all kinds of craziness.
34 Huddi dengiz-okyanlarda lǝylǝp ⱪalƣandǝk, Yǝlkǝnlik kemining moma yaƣiqi üstidǝ yatⱪandǝk bolisǝn.
You'll stumble around like you're on the rolling ocean, you'll be tossed about like someone lying down at the top of a ship's mast, saying,
35 Sǝn qoⱪum: — Birsi meni urdi, lekin mǝn yarilanmidim! Birsi meni tayaⱪ bilǝn urdi, biraⱪ aƣriⱪini sǝzmidim!» — dǝysǝn. Biraⱪ sǝn yǝnǝ: «Ⱨoxumƣa kǝlsǝmla, mǝn yǝnila xarabni izdǝymǝn! — dǝysǝn.
“People punched me, but it didn't hurt me; they beat me, but I didn't feel a thing. I've got to get up because I need another drink.”
