أَمْثَالٌ 19
| ٱلْفَقِيرُ ٱلسَّالِكُ بِكَمَالِهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُلْتَوِي ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَاهِلٌ. | ١ 1 |
Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
| أَيْضًا كَوْنُ ٱلنَّفْسِ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا، وَٱلْمُسْتَعْجِلُ بِرِجْلَيْهِ يُخْطِئُ. | ٢ 2 |
For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
| حَمَاقَةُ ٱلرَّجُلِ تُعَوِّجُ طَرِيقَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ يَحْنَقُ قَلْبُهُ. | ٣ 3 |
The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
| اَلْغِنَى يُكْثِرُ ٱلْأَصْحَابَ، وَٱلْفَقِيرُ مُنْفَصِلٌ عَنْ قَرِيبِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
| شَاهِدُ ٱلزُّورِ لَا يَتَبَرَّأُ، وَٱلْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِٱلْأَكَاذِيبِ لَا يَنْجُو. | ٥ 5 |
A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.
| كَثِيرُونَ يَسْتَعْطِفُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلشَّرِيفِ، وَكُلٌّ صَاحِبٌ لِذِي ٱلْعَطَايَا. | ٦ 6 |
Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
| كُلُّ إِخْوَةِ ٱلْفَقِيرِ يُبْغِضُونَهُ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ أَصْدِقَاؤُهُ يَبْتَعِدُونَ عَنْهُ! مَنْ يَتْبَعُ أَقْوَالًا فَهِيَ لَهُ. | ٧ 7 |
All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more will his friends depart farre from him? though hee be instant with wordes, yet they will not.
| اَلْمُقْتَنِي ٱلْحِكْمَةَ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ. ٱلْحَافِظُ ٱلْفَهْمِ يَجِدُ خَيْرًا. | ٨ 8 |
He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
| شَاهِدُ ٱلزُّورِ لَا يَتَبَرَّأُ، وَٱلْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِٱلْأَكَاذِيبِ يَهْلِكُ. | ٩ 9 |
A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
| اَلتَّنَعُّمُ لَا يَلِيقُ بِٱلْجَاهِلِ. كَمْ بِٱلْأَوْلَى لَا يَلِيقُ بِٱلْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَى ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ! | ١٠ 10 |
Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
| تَعَقُّلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُبْطِئُ غَضَبَهُ، وَفَخْرُهُ ٱلصَّفْحُ عَنْ مَعْصِيَةٍ. | ١١ 11 |
The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
| كَزَمْجَرَةِ ٱلْأَسَدِ حَنَقُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكَالطَّلِّ عَلَى ٱلْعُشْبِ رِضْوَانُهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
| اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ مُصِيبَةٌ عَلَى أَبِيهِ، وَمُخَاصَمَاتُ ٱلزَّوْجَةِ كَٱلْوَكْفِ ٱلْمُتَتَابِعِ. | ١٣ 13 |
A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
| اَلْبَيْتُ وَٱلثَّرْوَةُ مِيرَاثٌ مِنَ ٱلْآبَاءِ، أَمَّا ٱلزَّوْجَةُ ٱلْمُتَعَقِّلَةُ فَمِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
| اَلْكَسَلُ يُلْقِي فِي ٱلسُّبَاتِ، وَٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُتَرَاخِيَةُ تَجُوعُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
| حَافِظُ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ حَافِظٌ نَفْسَهُ، وَٱلْمُتَهَاوِنُ بِطُرُقِهِ يَمُوتُ. | ١٦ 16 |
He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
| مَنْ يَرْحَمُ ٱلْفَقِيرَ يُقْرِضُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَعَنْ مَعْرُوفِهِ يُجَازِيهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
| أَدِّبِ ٱبْنَكَ لِأَنَّ فِيهِ رَجَاءً، وَلَكِنْ عَلَى إِمَاتَتِهِ لَا تَحْمِلْ نَفْسَكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.
| اَلشَّدِيدُ ٱلْغَضَبِ يَحْمِلُ عُقُوبَةً، لِأَنَّكَ إِذَا نَجَّيْتَهُ فَبَعْدُ تُعِيدُ. | ١٩ 19 |
A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.
| اِسْمَعِ ٱلْمَشُورَةَ وَٱقْبَلِ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ حَكِيمًا فِي آخِرَتِكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Heare counsell and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter ende.
| فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَفْكَارٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، لَكِنْ مَشُورَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ تَثْبُتُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.

That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.

The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.
| اَلْكَسْلَانُ يُخْفِي يَدَهُ فِي ٱلصَّحْفَةِ، وَأَيْضًا إِلَى فَمِهِ لَا يَرُدُّهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.
| اِضْرِبِ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئَ فَيَتَذَكَّى ٱلْأَحْمَقُ، وَوَبِّخْ فَهِيمًا فَيَفْهَمَ مَعْرِفَةً. | ٢٥ 25 |
Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.

| كُفَّ يَا ٱبْنِي عَنِ ٱسْتِمَاعِ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ لِلضَّلَالَةِ عَنْ كَلَامِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
My sonne, heare no more the instruction, that causeth to erre from ye words of knowledge.
| اَلشَّاهِدُ ٱللَّئِيمُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَبْلَعُ ٱلْإِثْمَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
A wicked witnes mocketh at iudgement, and the mouth of ye wicked swalloweth vp iniquitie.
| اَلْقِصَاصُ مُعَدٌّ لِلْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ، وَٱلضَّرْبُ لِظَهْرِ ٱلْجُهَّالِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.
