أَمْثَالٌ 15
| اَلْجَوَابُ ٱللَّيِّنُ يَصْرِفُ ٱلْغَضَبَ، وَٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلْمُوجِعُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلسَّخَطَ. | ١ 1 |
A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.
| لِسَانُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ يُحَسِّنُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَفَمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يُنْبِعُ حَمَاقَةً. | ٢ 2 |
The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
| فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ مُرَاقِبَتَانِ ٱلطَّالِحِينَ وَٱلصَّالِحِينَ. | ٣ 3 |
The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
| هُدُوءُ ٱللِّسَانِ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ، وَٱعْوِجَاجُهُ سَحْقٌ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. | ٤ 4 |
A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit.
| اَلْأَحْمَقُ يَسْتَهِينُ بِتَأْدِيبِ أَبِيهِ، أَمَّا مُرَاعِي ٱلتَّوْبِيخِ فَيَذْكَى. | ٥ 5 |
A fool despiseth his father’s correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.
| فِي بَيْتِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ كَنْزٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَفِي دَخْلِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كَدَرٌ. | ٦ 6 |
In the house of the righteous is much treasure; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
| شِفَاهُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ تَذُرُّ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا قَلْبُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ فَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish [doeth] not so.
| ذَبِيحَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَصَلَاةُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَرْضَاتُهُ. | ٨ 8 |
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
| مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَرِيقُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَتَابِعُ ٱلْبِرِّ يُحِبُّهُ. | ٩ 9 |
The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
| تَأْدِيبُ شَرٍّ لِتَارِكِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. مُبْغِضُ ٱلتَّوْبِيخِ يَمُوتُ. | ١٠ 10 |
There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; [And] he that hateth reproof shall die.
| اَلْهَاوِيَةُ وَٱلْهَلَاكُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ قُلُوبُ بَنِي آدَمَ! (Sheol h7585) | ١١ 11 |
Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah; How much more then the hearts of the children of men! (Sheol h7585)
| اَلْمُسْتَهْزِئُ لَا يُحِبُّ مُوَبِّخَهُ. إِلَى ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ لَا يَذْهَبُ. | ١٢ 12 |
A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise.
| اَلْقَلْبُ ٱلْفَرْحَانُ يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوَجْهَ طَلِقًا، وَبِحُزْنِ ٱلْقَلْبِ تَنْسَحِقُ ٱلرُّوحُ. | ١٣ 13 |
A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
| قَلْبُ ٱلْفَهِيمِ يَطْلُبُ مَعْرِفَةً، وَفَمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يَرْعَى حَمَاقَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
| كُلُّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْحَزِينِ شَقِيَّةٌ، أَمَّا طَيِّبُ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَوَلِيمَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart [hath] a continual feast.
| اَلْقَلِيلُ مَعَ مَخَافَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَنْزٍ عَظِيمٍ مَعَ هَمٍّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.
| أَكْلَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْبُقُولِ حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَوْرٍ مَعْلُوفٍ وَمَعَهُ بُغْضَةٌ. | ١٧ 17 |
Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْغَضُوبُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْخُصُومَةَ، وَبَطِيءُ ٱلْغَضَبِ يُسَكِّنُ ٱلْخِصَامَ. | ١٨ 18 |
A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
| طَرِيقُ ٱلْكَسْلَانِ كَسِيَاجٍ مِنْ شَوْكٍ، وَطَرِيقُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَنْهَجٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway.
| اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ يَسُرُّ أَبَاهُ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ يَحْتَقِرُ أُمَّهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
| ٱلْحَمَاقَةُ فَرَحٌ لِنَاقِصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ، أَمَّا ذُو ٱلْفَهْمِ فَيُقَوِّمُ سُلُوكَهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding maketh straight his going.
| مَقَاصِدُ بِغَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ تَبْطُلُ، وَبِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْمُشِيرِينَ تَقُومُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
| لِلْإِنْسَانِ فَرَحٌ بِجَوَابِ فَمِهِ، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ فِي وَقْتِهَا مَا أَحْسَنَهَا! | ٢٣ 23 |
A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!
| طَرِيقُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ لِلْفَطِنِ إِلَى فَوْقُ، لِلْحَيَدَانِ عَنِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ مِنْ تَحْتُ. (Sheol h7585) | ٢٤ 24 |
To the wise the way of life [goeth] upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath. (Sheol h7585)
| اَلرَّبُّ يَقْلَعُ بَيْتَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، وَيُوَطِّدُ تُخْمَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Jehovah will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow.
| مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَفْكَارُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَلِلْأَطْهَارِ كَلَامٌ حَسَنٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words [are] pure.
| اَلْمُولَعُ بِٱلْكَسْبِ يُكَدِّرُ بَيْتَهُ، وَٱلْكَارِهُ ٱلْهَدَايَا يَعِيشُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live.
| قَلْبُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يَتَفَكَّرُ بِٱلْجَوَابِ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يُنْبِعُ شُرُورًا. | ٢٨ 28 |
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
| اَلرَّبُّ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَيَسْمَعُ صَلَاةَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
| نُورُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ يُفَرِّحُ ٱلْقَلْبَ. اَلْخَبَرُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يُسَمِّنُ ٱلْعِظَامَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; [And] good tidings make the bones fat.
| اَلْأُذُنُ ٱلسَّامِعَةُ تَوْبِيخَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ تَسْتَقِرُّ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ. | ٣١ 31 |
The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise.
| مَنْ يَرْفُضُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ يُرْذِلُ نَفْسَهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْمَعُ لِلتَّوْبِيخِ يَقْتَنِي فَهْمًا. | ٣٢ 32 |
He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
| مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدَبُ حِكْمَةٍ، وَقَبْلَ ٱلْكَرَامَةِ ٱلتَّوَاضُعُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor [goeth] humility.
