الأمثال 10
| هَذِهِ أَمْثَالُ سُلَيْمَانَ: الابْنُ الْحَكِيمُ مَسَرَّةٌ لأَبِيهِ، وَالابْنُ الْجَاهِلُ حَسْرَةٌ لأُمِّهِ. | ١ 1 |
THE PARABLE OF SALOMON. A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother.
| كُنُوزُ الْمَالِ الْحَرَامِ لَا تُجْدِي، وَلَكِنَّ الْحَقَّ يُنَجِّي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ. | ٢ 2 |
The treasures of wickednesse profite nothing: but righteousnesse deliuereth from death.
| لَا يُجِيعُ الرَّبُّ نَفْسَ الصِّدِّيقِ، أَمَّا هَوَى الأَشْرَارِ فَيَنْبِذُهُ. | ٣ 3 |
The Lord will not famish the soule of the righteous: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
| الْعَامِلُ بِيَدٍ مُسْتَرْخِيَةٍ يَفْتَقِرُ، أَمَّا الْيَدُ الْكَادِحَةُ فَتُغْنِي. | ٤ 4 |
A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche.
| مَنْ يَجْمَعُ فِي الصَّيْفِ مَؤُونَتَهُ هُوَ ابْنٌ عَاقِلٌ، أَمَّا الَّذي يَنَامُ فِي مَوْسِمِ الْحَصَادِ فَهُوَ ابْنٌ مُخْزٍ. | ٥ 5 |
He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wisdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion.
| تُتَوِّجُ الْبَرَكَاتُ رَأْسَ الصِّدِّيقِ، أَمَّا فَمُ الأَشْرَارِ فَيَطْغَى عَلَيْهِ الظُّلْمُ. | ٦ 6 |
Blessings are vpon the head of the righteous: but iniquitie shall couer the mouth of the wicked.
| ذِكْرُ الصِّدِّيقِ بَرَكَةٌ، وَاسْمُ الأَشْرَارِ يَعْتَرِيهِ الْبِلَى. | ٧ 7 |
The memoriall of the iust shalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rotte.
| الْحَكِيمُ الْقَلْبِ يَتَقَبَّلُ الْوَصَايَا، وَالْمُتَبَجِّحُ الشَّفَتَيْنِ مَصِيرُهُ الْخَرَابُ. | ٨ 8 |
The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten.
| الَّذي يَسْلُكُ بِاسْتِقَامَةٍ يَسِيرُ مُطْمَئِنّاً، وَذُو الطُّرُقِ الْمُنْحَرِفَةِ يُفْتَضَحُ. | ٩ 9 |
He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.
| مَنْ يَغْمِزُ بِعَيْنِهِ مَكْراً يُوَلِّدُ غَمّاً. وَالْمُوَبِّخُ بِجُرْأَةٍ يَصْنَعُ سَلاماً. | ١٠ 10 |
He that winketh with the eye, worketh sorowe, and he yet is foolish in talke, shalbe beaten.
| فَمُ الصِّدِّيقِ يَنْبُعُ بِكَلامِ الْحَيَاةِ، أَمَّا فَمُ الشِّرِّيرِ فَيَطْغَى عَلَيْهِ الظُّلْمُ. | ١١ 11 |
The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.
| الْبَغْضَاءُ تُثِيرُ الْخُصُومَاتِ، وَالْمَحَبَّةُ تَسْتُرُ جَمِيعَ الذُّنُوبِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses.
| فِي شَفَتَيِ الْعَاقِلِ تَكْمُنُ حِكْمَةٌ أَمَّا الْعَصَا فَمِنْ نَصِيبِ ظَهْرِ الأَحْمَقِ. | ١٣ 13 |
In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome.
| الْحُكَمَاءُ يَذْخَرُونَ الْمَعْرِفَةَ، أَمَّا فَمُ الْغَبِيِّ فَيَجْلِبُ الدَّمَارَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Wise men lay vp knowledge: but ye mouth of the foole is a present destruction.
| ثَرْوَةُ الْغَنِيِّ قَلْعَتُهُ الْحَصِينَةُ، وَفِي فَقْرِ الْمَسَاكِينِ هَلاكُهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
The riche mans goodes are his strong citie: but the feare of the needie is their pouertie.
| عَمَلُ الصِّدِّيقِ يُفْضِي إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ، وَرِبْحُ الشِّرِّيرِ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْخَطِيئَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: but the reuenues of the wicked to sinne.
| مَنْ يَعْمَلْ بِمُقْتَضَى التَّعْلِيمِ يَسِرْ فِي دَرْبِ الْحَيَاةِ، وَمَنْ يَرْفُضِ التَّأْدِيبَ يَضِلّ. | ١٧ 17 |
He that regardeth instruction, is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way.
| مَنْ يُضْمِرْ الْبَغْضَاءَ تَنْطِقْ شَفَتَاهُ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَمَنْ جَاهَرَ بِالْمَذَمَّةِ فَهُوَ أَحْمَقُ. | ١٨ 18 |
He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole.
| فِي كَثْرَةِ الْكَلامِ زَلّاتُ لِسَانٍ، وَمَنْ يَضْبِطُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَهُوَ عَاقِلٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise.
| كَلامُ الصِّدِّيقِ كَالْفِضَّةِ الْمُصَفَّاةِ، وَقَلْبُ الشِّرِّيرِ يَخْلُو مِنْ كُلِّ قِيمَةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The tongue of the iust man is as fined siluer: but the heart of the wicked is litle worth.
| كَلامُ الصِّدِّيقِ يُفِيدُ كَثِيرِينَ، أَمَّا الْحَمْقَى فَيَمُوتُونَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْفَهْمِ. | ٢١ 21 |
The lippes of the righteous doe feede many: but fooles shall die for want of wisedome.
| فِي بَرَكَةِ الرَّبِّ غِنىً وَلا تُضِيفُ إِلَيْهَا الْمَشَقَّةُ تَعَباً. | ٢٢ 22 |
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh riche, and he doeth adde no sorowes with it.
| ارْتِكَابُ الْفَاحِشَةِ عِنْدَ الْجَاهِلِ كَاللَّعِبِ، أَمَّا حُسْنُ التَّصَرُّفِ فَمَسَرَّةٌ لِلْحَكِيمِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
It is as a pastime to a foole to doe wickedly: but wisedome is vnderstanding to a man.
| مَا يَخْشَى مِنْهُ الشِّرِّيرُ يُقْبِلُ إِلَيْهِ، وَشَهْوَةُ الصِّدِّيقيِنَ تُمْنَحُ لَهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
That which the wicked feareth, shall come vpon him: but God wil graunt the desire of the righteous.
| يَتَلاشَى الشِّرِّيرُ كَمَا تَتَلاشَى الزَّوْبَعَةُ، أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُ فَيَخْلُدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation.
| الْكَسُولُ لِمَنْ أَرْسَلَهُ كَالْخَلِّ لِلأَسْنَانِ أَوْ كَالدُّخَانِ لِلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
As vineger is to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slouthful to them that send him.
| تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ تُطِيلُ أَيَّامَ الْحَيَاةِ، أَمَّا سِنُو الشِّرِّيرِ فَتُقْصَرُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The feare of the Lord increaseth the dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe diminished.
| الْبَهْجَةُ هِيَ أَمَلُ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَرَجَاءُ الأَشْرَارِ مَآلُهُ الفَنَاءُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The patient abiding of the righteous shall be gladnesse: but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
| طَرِيقُ الرَّبِّ هُوَ مَلاذٌ لِلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ، وَدَمَارٌ لِفَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright man: but feare shall be for the workers of iniquitie.
| لَا يُزَحْزَحُ الصِّدِّيقُ أَبَداً، أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَلا يَسْكُنُونَ الأَرْضَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The righteous shall neuer be remooued: but the wicked shall not dwell in the land.
| مِنْ فَمِ الصِّدِّيقِ تَفِيضُ الْحِكْمَةُ، وَاللِّسَانُ الْمُخَاتِلُ يُقْطَعُ. | ٣١ 31 |
The mouth of the iust shall be fruitfull in wisdome: but the tongue of the froward shall be cut out.
| شَفَتَا الصِّدِّيقِ تُدْرِكَانِ مَا هُوَ حَقٌّ، فَتَنْطِقَانِ بِهِ، وَفَمُ الشِّرِّيرِ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ إِلّا بِالْبَاطِلِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
The lips of the righteous knowe what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh froward things.
