Proverbs 13
1 A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
| اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ يَقْبَلُ تَأْدِيبَ أَبِيهِ، وَٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئُ لَا يَسْمَعُ ٱنْتِهَارًا. | ١ |
2 A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
| مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ فَمِهِ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ خَيْرًا، وَمَرَامُ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ ظُلْمٌ. | ٢ |
3 He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
| مَنْ يَحْفَظُ فَمَهُ يَحْفَظُ نَفْسَهُ. مَنْ يَشْحَرْ شَفَتَيْهِ فَلَهُ هَلَاكٌ. | ٣ |
4 The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
| نَفْسُ ٱلْكَسْلَانِ تَشْتَهِي وَلَا شَيْءَ لَهَا، وَنَفْسُ ٱلْمُجْتَهِدِينَ تَسْمَنُ. | ٤ |
5 The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
| اَلصِّدِّيقُ يُبْغِضُ كَلَامَ كَذِبٍ، وَٱلشِّرِّيرُ يُخْزِي وَيُخْجِلُ. | ٥ |
6 Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
| اَلْبِرُّ يَحْفَظُ ٱلْكَامِلَ طَرِيقَهُ، وَٱلشَّرُّ يَقْلِبُ ٱلْخَاطِئَ. | ٦ |
7 A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
| يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَتَغَانَى وَلَا شَيْءَ عِنْدَهُ، وَمَنْ يَتَفَاقَرُ وَعِنْدَهُ غِنًى جَزِيلٌ. | ٧ |
8 A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
| فِدْيَةُ نَفْسِ رَجُلٍ غِنَاهُ، أَمَّا ٱلْفَقِيرُ فَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱنْتِهَارًا. | ٨ |
9 There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
| نُورُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ يُفَرِّحُ، وَسِرَاجُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْطَفِئُ. | ٩ |
10 The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
| اَلْخِصَامُ إِنَّمَا يَصِيرُ بِٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْمُتَشَاوِرِينَ حِكْمَةٌ. | ١٠ |
11 Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
| غِنَى ٱلْبُطْلِ يَقِلُّ، وَٱلْجَامِعُ بِيَدِهِ يَزْدَادُ. | ١١ |
12 Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
| ٱلرَّجَاءُ ٱلْمُمَاطَلُ يُمْرِضُ ٱلْقَلْبَ، وَٱلشَّهْوَةُ ٱلْمُتَمَّمَةُ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ. | ١٢ |
13 He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
| مَنِ ٱزْدَرَى بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ يُخْرِبُ نَفْسَهُ، وَمَنْ خَشِيَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ يُكَافَأُ. | ١٣ |
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
| شَرِيعَةُ ٱلْحَكِيمِ يَنْبُوعُ حَيَاةٍ لِلْحَيَدَانِ عَنْ أَشْرَاكِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٤ |
15 Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.
| اَلْفِطْنَةُ ٱلْجَيِّدَةُ تَمْنَحُ نِعْمَةً، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ فَأَوْعَرُ. | ١٥ |
16 A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
| كُلُّ ذَكِيٍّ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ، وَٱلْجَاهِلُ يَنْشُرُ حُمْقًا. | ١٦ |
17 A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.
| اَلرَّسُولُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَقَعُ فِي ٱلشَّرِّ، وَٱلسَّفِيرُ ٱلْأَمِينُ شِفَاءٌ. | ١٧ |
18 Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.
| فَقْرٌ وَهَوَانٌ لِمَنْ يَرْفُضُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ، وَمَنْ يُلَاحِظ ٱلتَّوْبِيخَ يُكْرَمْ. | ١٨ |
19 To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.
| اَلشَّهْوَةُ ٱلْحَاصِلَةُ تَلُذُّ ٱلنَّفْسَ، أَمَّا كَرَاهَةُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ فَهِيَ ٱلْحَيَدَانُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ. | ١٩ |
20 Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
| اَلْمُسَايِرُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ يَصِيرُ حَكِيمًا، وَرَفِيقُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يُضَرُّ. | ٢٠ |
21 Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
| اَلشَّرُّ يَتْبَعُ ٱلْخَاطِئِينَ، وَٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يُجَازَوْنَ خَيْرًا. | ٢١ |
22 The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
| اَلصَّالِحُ يُورِثُ بَنِي ٱلْبَنِينَ، وَثَرْوَةُ ٱلْخَاطِئِ تُذْخَرُ لِلصِّدِّيقِ. | ٢٢ |
23 There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
| فِي حَرْثِ ٱلْفُقَرَاءِ طَعَامٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَيُوجَدُ هَالِكٌ مِنْ عَدَمِ ٱلْحَقِّ. | ٢٣ |
24 He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
| مَنْ يَمْنَعُ عَصَاهُ يَمْقُتِ ٱبْنَهُ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّهُ يَطْلُبُ لَهُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ. | ٢٤ |
25 The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.
| اَلصِّدِّيقُ يَأْكُلُ لِشَبَعِ نَفْسِهِ، أَمَّا بَطْنُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَحْتَاجُ. | ٢٥ |
