الأمثال 12
| مَنْ يُحِبُّ التَّأْدِيبَ يُحِبُّ الْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَمَنْ يَمْقُتُ التَّأْنِيبَ غَبِيٌّ. | ١ 1 |
He that loueth instruction, loueth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is a foole.
| الصَّالِحُ يَحْظَى بِرِضَى الرَّبِّ، وَرَجُلُ الْمَكَائِدِ يَسْتَجْلِبُ قَضَاءَهُ. | ٢ 2 |
A good man getteth fauour of the Lord: but the man of wicked immaginations will hee condemne.
| لَا يَثْبُتُ الإِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ، أَمَّا أَصْلُ الصِّدِّيقِ فَلا يَتَزَعْزَعُ. | ٣ 3 |
A man cannot be established by wickednesse: but the roote of the righteous shall not be mooued.
| الْمَرْأَةُ الْفَاضِلَةُ تَاجٌ لِزَوْجِهَا، أَمَّا جَالِبَةُ الْخِزْيِ فَكَنَخْرٍ فِي عِظَامِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
A vertuous woman is the crowne of her husband: but she that maketh him ashamed, is as corruption in his bones.
| مَقَاصِدُ الصِّدِّيقِ شَرِيفَةٌ، وَتَدَابِيرُ الشِّرِّيرِ غَادِرَةٌ. | ٥ 5 |
The thoughtes of the iust are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceitfull.
| كَلامُ الأَشْرَارِ يَتَرَبَّصُ لِسَفْكِ الدَّمِ، وَأَقْوَالُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ تَسْعَى لِلإِنْقَاذِ. | ٦ 6 |
The talking of the wicked is to lye in waite for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will deliuer them.
| مَصِيرُ الأَشْرَارِ الانْهِيَارُ وَالتَّلاشِي، أَمَّا صَرْحُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ فَيَثْبُتُ رَاسِخاً. | ٧ 7 |
God ouerthroweth the wicked, and they are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
| يُحْمَدُ الْمَرْءُ لِتَعَقُّلِهِ، وَيُزْدَرَى ذُو الْقَلْبِ الْمُلْتَوِي. | ٨ 8 |
A man shall be commended for his wisedome: but the froward of heart shalbe despised.
| الْحَقِيرُ الْكَادِحُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُتَعَاظِمِ الْمُفْتَقِرِ لِلُقْمَةِ الْخُبْزِ. | ٩ 9 |
He that is despised, and is his owne seruant, is better then he that boasteth himselfe and lacketh bread.
| الصِّدِّيقُ يُرَاعِي نَفْسَ بَهِيمَتِهِ، أَمَّا الشِّرِّيرُ فَأَرَقُّ مَرَاحِمِهِ تَتَّسِمُ بِالْقَسْوَةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruell.
| مَنْ يُفْلِحْ أَرْضَهُ، تَكْثُرْ غَلَّةُ خُبْزِهِ، وَمَنْ يُلاحِقُ الأَوْهَامَ فَهُوَ أَحْمَقُ. | ١١ 11 |
He that tilleth his lande, shalbe satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of vnderstanding.
| يَشْتَهِي الشِّرِّيرُ مَنَاهِبَ الإِثْمِ، أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُ فَيَزْدَهِرُ. | ١٢ 12 |
The wicked desireth the net of euils: but the roote of the righteous giueth fruite.
| يَقَعُ الشِّرِّيرُ فِي فَخِّ أَكَاذِيبِ لِسَانِهِ، أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُ فَيُفْلِتُ مِنَ الضِّيقِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The euill man is snared by the wickednesse of his lips, but the iust shall come out of aduersitie.
| مِنْ ثَمَرِ صِدْقِ أَقْوَالِهِ يَشْبَعُ الإِنْسَانُ خَيْراً، كَمَا تُرَدُّ لَهُ ثِمَارُ أَعْمَالِ يَدَيْهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
A man shalbe satiate with good things by the fruite of his mouth, and the recompence of a mans hands shall God giue vnto him.
| يَبْدُو سَبِيلُ الأَحْمَقِ صَالِحاً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، أَمَّا الْحَكِيمُ فَيَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى الْمَشُورَةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
The way of a foole is right in his owne eyes: but he that heareth counsell, is wise.
| يُبْدِي الأَحْمَقُ غَيْظَهُ فِي لَحْظَةٍ، أَمَّا الْعَاقِلُ فَيَتَجَاهَلُ الإِهَانَةَ. | ١٦ 16 |
A foole in a day shall be knowen by his anger: but he that couereth shame, is wise.
| مَنْ يَنْطِقْ بِالصِّدْقِ يَشْهَدْ بِالْحَقِّ، أَمَّا شَاهِدُ الزُّورِ فَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَذِبِ. | ١٧ 17 |
He that speaketh trueth, will shewe righteousnes: but a false witnes vseth deceite.
| رُبَّ مِهْذَارٍ تَنْفُذُ كَلِمَاتُهُ كَطَعْنَاتِ السَّيْفِ، وَفِي أَقْوَالِ فَمِ الْحُكَمَاءِ شِفَاءٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
There is that speaketh wordes like the prickings of a sworde: but the tongue of wise men is health.
| أَقْوَالُ الشِّفَاهِ الصَّادِقَةِ تَدُومُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، أَمَّا أَكَاذِيبُ لِسَانِ الزُّورِ فَتَنْفَضِحُ فِي لَحْظَةٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
The lip of trueth shall be stable for euer: but a lying tongue varieth incontinently.
| يَكْمُنُ الْغِشُّ فِي قُلُوبِ مُدَبِّرِي الشَّرِّ، أَمَّا الْفَرَحُ فَيَمْلأُ صُدُورَ السَّاعِينَ إِلَى السَّلامِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Deceite is in the heart of them that imagine euill: but to the counsellers of peace shall be ioye.

There shall none iniquitie come to the iust: but the wicked are full of euill.
| الشِّفَاهُ الْكَاذِبَةُ رِجْسٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ، وَمَسَرَّتُهُ بِالْعَامِلِينَ بِالصِّدْقِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
The lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deale truely are his delite.
| الْعَاقِلُ يَحْتَفِظُ بِعِلْمِهِ، وَقُلُوبُ الْجُهَّالِ تَفْضَحُ مَا فِيهَا مِنْ سَفَاهَةٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
A wise man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of the fooles publisheth foolishnes.
| ذُو الْيَدِ الْمُجْتَهِدَةِ يَسُودُ، وَالْكَسُولُ ذُو الْيَدِ الْمُرْتَخِيَةِ يَخْدُمُ تَحْتَ الْجِزْيَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The hand of the diligent shall beare rule: but the idle shalbe vnder tribute.
| الْقَلْبُ الْقَلِقُ الْجَزِعُ يُوْهِنُ الإِنْسَانَ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ تُفَرِّحُهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Heauines in the heart of man doeth bring it downe: but a good worde reioyceth it.

The righteous is more excellent then his neighbour: but the way of the wicked will deceiue them.
| الْمُتَقَاعِسُ لَا يَحْظَى بِصَيْدٍ، وَأَثْمَنُ مَا لَدَى الإِنْسَانِ هُوَ اجْتِهَادُهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The deceitfull man rosteth not, that hee tooke in hunting: but the riches of the diligent man are precious.
