سَوْفَ أَبِيعُ قِدْرَ الْعَسَلِ. وَ أَشْتَرِي بِهِ عَنْزَةً. وَ الْعَنْزَةُ أَتْرُكُهَا تَرْعَ الْحَشِيشِ فَتَكْبُرُ. وَ تَلِدُ
كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْعَنْزَاتِ.

I'm ok with the meaning being conveyed. But are you ok with the English sentence with respect to structure?? Can we say something like:
'I will sell the honey pot to buy a goat'.
I guess that is less wordy if you find the meaning is still the same.

Is it "honey pot" or "honey in pot" ?

If you sell the honey together with the pot, it would be 'honey pot'. Of course, if you sell only the pot, it would also be 'honey pot', so context will tell you which of the two it is (usually the first option I think )
If you sell the honey, but not the pot (eg people bring their own pot and you fill it for them) it would be 'the honey from the pot'.

Thanks dear Lein,
I know them but we use in Turkish only ; "I will sell honey and...". Do we need to use here "the pot" or is English version not O.K ?

I don't think the meaning radically changes.

I will sell the honey
I will sell the honey pot

So I will leave this as it is.

This situation is different in Turkish. Is what is sold the honey or the honey pot?

In Turkey, when you say 'I sell honey pots', it doesn't mean that honey and pots are sold together. You would have meant that you sell just pots. Moreover, in Turkey, you say 'Today, I'll buy some honey at grocery store' even if they are sold together and you don't say 'I'll buy a honey pot at grocery store' because honey pots aren't sold there.

If what is sold is the honey, the Turkish translation ought to be edited.

I agree w. Mesud.
And it is for me;
"I will sell enough honey for buying a goat."
I suppose English version is not right.
