Proverbs 10
1 Solomon's proverbs. A wise son makes his father happy, but a stupid son only brings his mother grief.
| מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח־אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמּֽוֹ׃ |
2 Wealth gained through evil does you no good; but living right saves you from death.
| לֹֽא־יוֹעִילוּ אוֹצְרוֹת רֶשַׁע וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּֽוֶת׃ |
3 The Lord doesn't let good people go hungry, but he stops the wicked from getting what they want.
| לֹא־יַרְעִיב יְהֹוָה נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְהַוַּת רְשָׁעִים יֶהְדֹּֽף׃ |
4 Lazy hands make you poor, but hard-working hands make you rich.
| רָאשׁ עֹשֶׂה כַף־רְמִיָּה וְיַד חָרוּצִים תַּעֲשִֽׁיר׃ |
5 A son who gathers crops during the summer is sensible, but the one who sleeps during harvest brings disgrace.
| אֹגֵר בַּקַּיִץ בֵּן מַשְׂכִּיל נִרְדָּם בַּקָּצִיר בֵּן מֵבִֽישׁ׃ |
6 Those who are good are blessed, but what the wicked say hides their violent nature.
| בְּרָכוֹת לְרֹאשׁ צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ |
7 The good are remembered as a blessing, but the reputation of the wicked will rot.
| זֵכֶר צַדִּיק לִבְרָכָה וְשֵׁם רְשָׁעִים יִרְקָֽב׃ |
8 Those who think wisely pay attention to instruction, but a stupid chatterbox ends up in disaster.
| חֲכַם־לֵב יִקַּח מִצְוֺת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
9 Honest people will live in safety, but those who behave deceitfully will be caught out.
| הוֹלֵךְ בַּתֹּם יֵלֶךְ בֶּטַח וּמְעַקֵּשׁ דְּרָכָיו יִוָּדֵֽעַ׃ |
10 People who wink slyly cause trouble, but someone who gives a strong rebuke brings peace.
| קֹרֵֽץ עַיִן יִתֵּן עַצָּבֶת וֶאֱוִיל שְׂפָתַיִם יִלָּבֵֽט׃ |
11 What good people say is a spring that gives life, but what the wicked say hides their violent nature.
| מְקוֹר חַיִּים פִּי צַדִּיק וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יְכַסֶּה חָמָֽס׃ |
12 Hatred causes conflict, but love covers all wrongs.
| שִׂנְאָה תְּעֹרֵר מְדָנִים וְעַל כׇּל־פְּשָׁעִים תְּכַסֶּה אַהֲבָֽה׃ |
13 Wisdom comes from people with good judgment, but stupid people are punished with a rod.
| בְּשִׂפְתֵי נָבוֹן תִּמָּצֵא חׇכְמָה וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו חֲסַר־לֵֽב׃ |
14 Wise people accumulate knowledge, but the chattering of stupid people is a prelude to disaster.
| חֲכָמִים יִצְפְּנוּ־דָעַת וּפִֽי־אֱוִיל מְחִתָּה קְרֹבָֽה׃ |
15 The wealth of the rich provides them protection, while the poverty of the poor ruins them.
| הוֹן עָשִׁיר קִרְיַת עֻזּוֹ מְחִתַּת דַּלִּים רֵישָֽׁם׃ |
16 If you do right you're rewarded with life, but if you're wicked all you gain is sin.
| פְּעֻלַּת צַדִּיק לְחַיִּים תְּבוּאַת רָשָׁע לְחַטָּֽאת׃ |
17 If you accept instruction, you're on the path to life, but if you reject correction you'll go astray.
| אֹרַח לְחַיִּים שׁוֹמֵר מוּסָר וְעֹזֵב תּוֹכַחַת מַתְעֶֽה׃ |
18 Anyone who hides their hatred is lying, and anyone who spreads slander is stupid.
| מְכַסֶּה שִׂנְאָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וּמוֹצִא דִבָּה הוּא כְסִֽיל׃ |
19 If you talk too much, you'll say something wrong. Be wise and take care what you say.
| בְּרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֶחְדַּל־פָּשַׁע וְחוֹשֵׂךְ שְׂפָתָיו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃ |
20 What good people say is like the best silver, but the mind of the wicked isn't worth much.
| כֶּסֶף נִבְחָר לְשׁוֹן צַדִּיק לֵב רְשָׁעִים כִּמְעָֽט׃ |
21 Advice from good people helps feed many others, but stupid people die because they have no sense.
| שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יִרְעוּ רַבִּים וֶאֱוִילִים בַּחֲסַר־לֵב יָמֽוּתוּ׃ |
22 The Lord's blessing makes you rich, and he doesn't add any sadness to accompany it.
| בִּרְכַּת יְהֹוָה הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר וְלֹֽא־יוֹסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃ |
23 Stupid people think it's fun to do wrong, but someone who has wisdom understands what's right.
| כִּשְׂחוֹק לִכְסִיל עֲשׂוֹת זִמָּה וְחׇכְמָה לְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃ |
24 What the wicked fear will happen to them, while what good people hope for will be granted.
| מְגוֹרַת רָשָׁע הִיא תְבוֹאֶנּוּ וְתַאֲוַת צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּֽן׃ |
25 When the storm hits, the wicked are no more, but the good are safe and secure forever.
| כַּעֲבוֹר סוּפָה וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְצַדִּיק יְסוֹד עוֹלָֽם׃ |
26 In the same way vinegar irritates the teeth and smoke irritates the eyes, lazy people irritate their employers.
| כַּחֹמֶץ ׀ לַשִּׁנַּיִם וְכֶעָשָׁן לָעֵינָיִם כֵּן הֶעָצֵל לְשֹׁלְחָֽיו׃ |
27 Honoring the Lord makes your life longer, but the years the wicked live will be cut short.
| יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה תּוֹסִיף יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת רְשָׁעִים תִּקְצֹֽרְנָה׃ |
28 Good people look forward to happiness, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
| תּוֹחֶלֶת צַדִּיקִים שִׂמְחָה וְתִקְוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ |
29 The way of the Lord protects those who do right, but he destroys those who do evil.
| מָעוֹז לַתֹּם דֶּרֶךְ יְהֹוָה וּמְחִתָּה לְפֹעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
30 The good will never be removed from the land, but the wicked will not remain there.
| צַדִּיק לְעוֹלָם בַּל־יִמּוֹט וּרְשָׁעִים לֹא יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
31 What good people say produces wisdom, but liars will have their tongues cut out.
| פִּֽי־צַדִּיק יָנוּב חׇכְמָה וּלְשׁוֹן תַּהְפֻּכוֹת תִּכָּרֵֽת׃ |
32 Good people know the right thing to say, but the wicked always lie.
| שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק יֵדְעוּן רָצוֹן וּפִי רְשָׁעִים תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃ |
