This is a great expression, which means that somebody is in a bad mood and should be left alone.
El horno no está para bollos, así que no sigas molestando a tu padre.
Stop bothering your Dad, he is in a bad mood and you may make him even madder.
It can also mean your the timing is off and one should wait to make a move.
No te apresures en llevar tu propuesta al alcalde, pues el horno no está para bollos.
Do not bring your proposal to the mayor right away for this is not the best time.
I also found this expression in our phrasebook.

I suggest you use only the first translation of the three.

Close... did you try the translator at the top of the page? It is very good.
