أَمْثَالٌ 10
| أَمْثَالُ سُلَيْمَانَ: اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ يَسُرُّ أَبَاهُ، وَٱلِٱبْنُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ حُزْنُ أُمِّهِ. | ١ 1 |
The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
| كُنُوزُ ٱلشَّرِّ لَا تَنْفَعُ، أَمَّا ٱلْبِرُّ فَيُنَجِّي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ٢ 2 |
Treasures of wickedness do not profit; But righteousness delivereth from death.
| اَلرَّبُّ لَا يُجِيعُ نَفْسَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يَدْفَعُ هَوَى ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. | ٣ 3 |
The LORD will not suffer the righteous to famish; But he disappointeth the craving of the wicked.
| اَلْعَامِلُ بِيَدٍ رَخْوَةٍ يَفْتَقِرُ، أَمَّا يَدُ ٱلْمُجْتَهِدِينَ فَتُغْنِي. | ٤ 4 |
He that worketh with a slack hand becometh poor; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
| مَنْ يَجْمَعُ فِي ٱلصَّيْفِ فَهُوَ ٱبْنٌ عَاقِلٌ، وَمَنْ يَنَامُ فِي ٱلْحَصَادِ فَهُوَ ٱبْنٌ مُخْزٍ. | ٥ 5 |
He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son causing shame.
| بَرَكَاتٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، أَمَّا فَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَغْشَاهُ ظُلْمٌ. | ٦ 6 |
Blessings are upon the head of the just; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
| ذِكْرُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ لِلْبَرَكَةِ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْخَرُ. | ٧ 7 |
The memory of the righteous man shall be blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.
| حَكِيمُ ٱلْقَلْبِ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْوَصَايَا، وَغَبِيُّ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ يُصْرَعُ. | ٨ 8 |
He who is wise in heart receiveth precepts; But the foolish talker falleth headlong.
| مَنْ يَسْلُكُ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ يَسْلُكُ بِٱلْأَمَانِ، وَمَنْ يُعَوِّجُ طُرُقَهُ يُعَرَّفُ. | ٩ 9 |
He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be punished.
| مَنْ يَغْمِزُ بِٱلْعَيْنِ يُسَبِّبُ حُزْنًا، وَٱلْغَبِيُّ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ يُصْرَعُ. | ١٠ 10 |
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; And a foolish talker falleth headlong.
| فَمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يَنْبُوعُ حَيَاةٍ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَغْشَاهُ ظُلْمٌ. | ١١ 11 |
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
| اَلْبُغْضَةُ تُهَيِّجُ خُصُومَاتٍ، وَٱلْمَحَبَّةُ تَسْتُرُ كُلَّ ٱلذُّنُوبِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Hatred stirreth up strife; But love covereth all offences.
| فِي شَفَتَيِ ٱلْعَاقِلِ تُوجَدُ حِكْمَةٌ، وَٱلْعَصَا لِظَهْرِ ٱلنَّاقِصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Upon the lips of a man of understanding wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that lacketh understanding.
| اَلْحُكَمَاءُ يَذْخَرُونَ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا فَمُ ٱلْغَبِيِّ فَهَلَاكٌ قَرِيبٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
Wise men treasure up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is destruction close at hand.
| ثَرْوَةُ ٱلْغَنِيِّ مَدِينَتُهُ ٱلْحَصِينَةُ. هَلَاكُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ فَقْرُهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
The rich man's wealth is his strong city; The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
| عَمَلُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ لِلْحَيَاةِ. رِبْحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
The earnings of the righteous minister to life; The revenues of the wicked, to sin.
| حَافِظُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ هُوَ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَرَافِضُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبِ ضَالٌّ. | ١٧ 17 |
He that keepeth instruction is in the path of life; But he that refuseth reproof goeth astray.
| مَنْ يُخْفِي ٱلْبُغْضَةَ فَشَفَتَاهُ كَاذِبَتَانِ، وَمُشِيعُ ٱلْمَذَمَّةِ هُوَ جَاهِلٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
He that hideth hatred hath lying lips; And he that uttereth slander is a fool.
| كَثْرَةُ ٱلْكَلَامِ لَا تَخْلُو مِنْ مَعْصِيَةٍ، أَمَّا ٱلضَّابِطُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَعَاقِلٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
In the multitude of words there wanteth not offence; But he who restraineth his lips is wise.
| لِسَانُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ فِضَّةٌ مُخْتَارَةٌ. قَلْبُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كَشَيْءٍ زَهِيدٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; The understanding of the wicked is of little worth.
| شَفَتَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ تَهْدِيَانِ كَثِيرِينَ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَغْبِيَاءُ فَيَمُوتُونَ مِنْ نَقْصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ. | ٢١ 21 |
The lips of the righteous feed many; But fools die through want of wisdom.
| بَرَكَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ تُغْنِي، وَلَا يَزِيدُ مَعَهَا تَعَبًا. | ٢٢ 22 |
It is the blessing of the LORD that maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.
| فِعْلُ ٱلرَّذِيلَةِ عِنْدَ ٱلْجَاهِلِ كَٱلضِّحْكِ، أَمَّا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ فَلِذِي فَهْمٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
It is as sport to a fool to do mischief; But a man of understanding hath wisdom.
| خَوْفُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ هُوَ يَأْتِيهِ، وَشَهْوَةُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ تُمْنَحُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The fear of the wicked shall come upon him; But the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
| كَعُبُورِ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ فَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَأَسَاسٌ مُؤَبَّدٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
When the whirlwind passeth by, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
| كَٱلْخَلِّ لِلْأَسْنَانِ، وَكَالدُّخَانِ لِلْعَيْنَيْنِ، كَذَلِكَ ٱلْكَسْلَانُ لِلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُوهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him.
| مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَزِيدُ ٱلْأَيَّامَ، أَمَّا سِنُو ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتُقْصَرُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The fear of the LORD prolongeth life; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
| مُنْتَظَرُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ مُفَرِّحٌ، أَمَّا رَجَاءُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَبِيدُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: But the expectation of the wicked shall come to nothing.
| حِصْنٌ لِلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ طَرِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لِفَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
The way of the LORD is a stronghold for the upright, But destruction for those who do iniquity.
| اَلصِّدِّيقُ لَنْ يُزَحْزَحَ أَبَدًا، وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَنْ يَسْكُنُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The righteous shall never be moved; But the wicked shall not dwell in the land.
| فَمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يُنْبِتُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ، أَمَّا لِسَانُ ٱلْأَكَاذِيبِ فَيُقْطَعُ. | ٣١ 31 |
The mouth of the righteous man yieldeth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.
| شَفَتَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ تَعْرِفَانِ ٱلْمَرْضِيَّ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ أَكَاذِيبُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
