Proverbs 3
1 My son, forget not my law, and let thy heart keep my commandments.
| בְּנִי תּוֹרָתִי אַל־תִּשְׁכָּח וּמִצְוֺתַי יִצֹּר לִבֶּֽךָ׃ |
2 For they shall add to thee length of days, and years of life and peace.
| כִּי אֹרֶךְ יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת חַיִּים וְשָׁלוֹם יוֹסִיפוּ לָֽךְ׃ |
3 Let not mercy and truth leave thee, put them about thy neck, and write them in the tables of thy heart:
| חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת אַֽל־יַעַזְבֻךָ קׇשְׁרֵם עַל־גַּרְגְּרוֹתֶיךָ כׇּתְבֵם עַל־לוּחַ לִבֶּֽךָ׃ |
4 And thou shalt And grace and good understanding before God and men.
| וּמְצָא־חֵן וְשֵֽׂכֶל־טוֹב בְּעֵינֵי אֱלֹהִים וְאָדָֽם׃ |
5 Have confidence in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon thy own prudence.
| בְּטַח אֶל־יְהֹוָה בְּכׇל־לִבֶּךָ וְאֶל־בִּינָתְךָ אַל־תִּשָּׁעֵֽן׃ |
6 In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.
| בְּכׇל־דְּרָכֶיךָ דָעֵהוּ וְהוּא יְיַשֵּׁר אֹֽרְחֹתֶֽיךָ׃ |
7 I Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:
| אַל־תְּהִי חָכָם בְּעֵינֶיךָ יְרָא אֶת־יְהֹוָה וְסוּר מֵרָֽע׃ |
8 For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.
| רִפְאוּת תְּהִי לְשׇׁרֶּךָ וְשִׁקּוּי לְעַצְמוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ |
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:
| כַּבֵּד אֶת־יְהֹוָה מֵהוֹנֶךָ וּמֵרֵאשִׁית כׇּל־תְּבוּאָתֶֽךָ׃ |
10 And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.
| וְיִמָּלְאוּ אֲסָמֶיךָ שָׂבָע וְתִירוֹשׁ יְקָבֶיךָ יִפְרֹֽצוּ׃ |
11 My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint when thou art chastised by him:
| מוּסַר יְהֹוָה בְּנִי אַל־תִּמְאָס וְאַל־תָּקֹץ בְּתוֹכַחְתּֽוֹ׃ |
12 For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.
| כִּי אֶת ־ אֲשֶׁר יֶאֱהַב יְהֹוָה יוֹכִיחַ וּכְאָב אֶת־בֵּן יִרְצֶֽה׃ |
13 Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom and is rich in prudence:
| אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מָצָא חׇכְמָה וְאָדָם יָפִיק תְּבוּנָֽה׃ |
14 The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:
| כִּי טוֹב סַחְרָהּ מִסְּחַר־כָּסֶף וּמֵחָרוּץ תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ׃ |
15 She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.
| יְקָרָה הִיא (מפניים) [מִפְּנִינִים] וְכׇל־חֲפָצֶיךָ לֹא יִֽשְׁווּ־בָֽהּ׃ |
16 Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
| אֹרֶךְ יָמִים בִּֽימִינָהּ בִּשְׂמֹאולָהּ עֹשֶׁר וְכָבֽוֹד׃ |
17 Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceable.
| דְּרָכֶיהָ דַרְכֵי־נֹעַם וְֽכׇל־נְתִיבוֹתֶיהָ שָׁלֽוֹם׃ |
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and he that shall retain her is blessed.
| עֵץ־חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ וְֽתֹמְכֶיהָ מְאֻשָּֽׁר׃ |
19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, hath established the heavens by prudence.
| יְֽהֹוָה בְּחׇכְמָה יָסַד־אָרֶץ כּוֹנֵן שָׁמַיִם בִּתְבוּנָֽה׃ |
20 By his wisdom the depths have broken out, and the clouds grow thick with dew.
| בְּדַעְתּוֹ תְּהוֹמוֹת נִבְקָעוּ וּשְׁחָקִים יִרְעֲפוּ־טָֽל׃ |
21 My son, let not these things depart from thy eyes: keep the law and counsel:
| בְּנִי אַל־יָלֻזוּ מֵעֵינֶיךָ נְצֹר תֻּשִׁיָּה וּמְזִמָּֽה׃ |
22 And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.
| וְיִֽהְיוּ חַיִּים לְנַפְשֶׁךָ וְחֵן לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶֽיךָ׃ |
23 Then shalt thou walk confidently in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble:
| אָז תֵּלֵךְ לָבֶטַח דַּרְכֶּךָ וְרַגְלְךָ לֹא תִגּֽוֹף׃ |
24 If thou sleep, thou shalt not fear: thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
| אִם־תִּשְׁכַּב לֹֽא־תִפְחָד וְשָׁכַבְתָּ וְֽעָרְבָה שְׁנָתֶֽךָ׃ |
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the power of the wicked falling upon thee.
| אַל־תִּירָא מִפַּחַד פִּתְאֹם וּמִשֹּׁאַת רְשָׁעִים כִּי תָבֹֽא׃ |
26 For the Lord will be at thy side, and will keep thy foot that thou be not taken.
| כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה יִֽהְיֶה בְכִסְלֶךָ וְשָׁמַר רַגְלְךָ מִלָּֽכֶד׃ |
27 Do not withhold him from doing good, who is able: if thou art able, do good thyself also.
| אַל־תִּמְנַע־טוֹב מִבְּעָלָיו בִּֽהְיוֹת לְאֵל (ידיך) [יָדְךָ] לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃ |
28 Say not to thy friend: Go, and come again: and tomorrow I will give to thee: when thou canst give at present.
| אַל־תֹּאמַר (לרעיך) [לְרֵעֲךָ ׀] לֵךְ וָשׁוּב וּמָחָר אֶתֵּן וְיֵשׁ אִתָּֽךְ׃ |
29 Practise not evil against thy friend, when he hath confidence in thee.
| אַל־תַּחֲרֹשׁ עַל־רֵעֲךָ רָעָה וְהֽוּא־יוֹשֵׁב לָבֶטַח אִתָּֽךְ׃ |
30 Strive not against a man without cause, when he hath done thee no evil.
| אַל־[תָּרִיב] (תרוב) עִם־אָדָם חִנָּם אִם־לֹא גְמָלְךָ רָעָֽה׃ |
31 Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:
| אַל־תְּקַנֵּא בְּאִישׁ חָמָס וְאַל־תִּבְחַר בְּכׇל־דְּרָכָֽיו׃ |
32 For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.
| כִּי תוֹעֲבַת יְהֹוָה נָלוֹז וְֽאֶת־יְשָׁרִים סוֹדֽוֹ׃ |
33 Want is from the Lord in the house of the wicked: but the habitations of the just shall be blessed.
| מְאֵרַת יְהֹוָה בְּבֵית רָשָׁע וּנְוֵה צַדִּיקִים יְבָרֵֽךְ׃ |
34 He shall scorn the scorners, and to the meek he will give grace.
| אִם־לַלֵּצִים הֽוּא־יָלִיץ (ולעניים) [וְלַעֲנָוִים] יִתֶּן־חֵֽן׃ |
35 The wise shall possess glory: the promotion of fools is disgrace.
| כָּבוֹד חֲכָמִים יִנְחָלוּ וּכְסִילִים מֵרִים קָלֽוֹן׃ |
