Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
| يَهْرُبُ الشِّرِّيرُ مَعَ أَنَّ لَا مُطَارِدَ لَهُ، أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُونَ فَشَجَاعَتُهُمْ كَشَجَاعَةِ الشِّبْلِ. | ١ |
2 For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
| عِنْدَمَا يَتَمَرَّدُ أَهْلُ أَرْضٍ يَكْثُرُ رُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ وَتَعُمُّ الْفَوْضَى، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَدُومُ إِنْ حَكَمَهَا ذُو فَهْمٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ. | ٢ |
3 A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
| الْفَقِيرُ الْجَائِرُ عَلَى الْمُعْوَزِ، كَمَطَرٍ جَارِفٍ لَا يُبْقِي عَلَى طَعَامٍ. | ٣ |
4 They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
| مَنْ يُهْمِلِ الشَّرِيعَةَ يَحْمَدِ الشِّرِّيرَ، وَالَّذِي يُحَافِظُ عَلَيْهَا يُخَاصِمُهُ. | ٤ |
5 Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
| لَا يَفْهَمُ الأَشْرَارُ الْعَدْلَ، أَمَّا مُلْتَمِسُو الرَّبِّ فَيُدْرِكُونَهُ تَمَاماً. | ٥ |
6 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.
| الرَّجُلُ الْفَقِيرُ السَّالِكُ بِكَمَالِهِ، خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْغَنِيِّ المُنْحَرِفِ فِي طُرُقِهِ. | ٦ |
7 He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.
| مَنْ يُحَافِظُ عَلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ هُوَ ابْنٌ حَكِيمٌ، أَمَّا عَشِيرُ الْجَشِعِينَ فَيُخْجِلُ أَبَاهُ. | ٧ |
8 He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
| الْمُكْثِرُ مَالَهُ بِالرِّبَا وَالاسْتِغْلالِ، إِنَّمَا يَجْمَعُهُ لِمَنْ هُوَ رَحِيمٌ بِالْفُقَرَاءِ. | ٨ |
9 He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
| مَنْ يَصْرِفُ أُذُنَهُ عَنِ الاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ، تَصِيرُ حَتَّى صَلاتُهُ رَجَاسَةً. | ٩ |
10 He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
| مَنْ يُضِلُّ الْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ لِيَسْلُكُوا فِي سَبِيلِ الشَّرِّ، يَسْقُطُ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ، أَمَّا الْكَامِلُونَ فَيَنَالُونَ مِيرَاثَ خَيْرٍ. | ١٠ |
11 The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
| الْغَنِيُّ حَكِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِهِ، لَكِنَّ الْفَقِيرَ الْبَصِيرَ يَكْتَشِفُ حَقِيقَتَهُ. | ١١ |
12 When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.
| عِنْدَمَا يَظْفَرُ الصِّدِّيقُ يَشِيعُ الْفَخْرُ الْعَظِيمُ، لَكِنْ حِينَ يَتَسَلَّطُ الأَشْرَارُ يَتَوَارَى النَّاسُ. | ١٢ |
13 He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.
| مَنْ يَكْتُمُ آثَامَهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ، وَمَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِها وَيُقْلِعُ عَنْهَا يَحْظَى بِالرَّحْمَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.
| طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي يَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ دَائِماً، أَمَّا مَنْ يُقَسِّي قَلْبَهُ فَيَسْقُطُ فِي الْبَلِيَّةِ. | ١٤ |
15 As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
| الْحَاكِمُ الْعَاتِي الْمُتَسَلِّطُ عَلَى الضُّعَفَاءِ، مِثْلُ أَسَدٍ زَائِرٍ أَوْ دُبٍّ ثَائِرٍ. | ١٥ |
16 A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
| الْحَاكِمُ الْمُفْتَقِرُ إِلَى الْفِطْنَةِ، هُوَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ جَائِرٌ. وَمَنْ يَمْقُتُ الرِّبْحَ الْحَرَامَ يَتَمَتَّعُ بِعُمْرٍ مَدِيدٍ. | ١٦ |
17 A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.
| مَنْ هُوَ مُثَقَّلٌ بِارْتِكَابِ سَفْكِ دَمٍ، يَظَلُّ طَرِيداً حَتَّى وَفَاتِهِ، وَلا يُعِينُهُ أَحَدٌ. | ١٧ |
18 He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.
| مَنْ يَسْلُكْ بِالْكَمَالِ يَنْجُ، أَمَّا الْمُنْحَرِفُ إِلَى سَبِيلَيْنِ فَيَسْقُطُ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا. | ١٨ |
19 He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.
| مَنْ يَفْلَحْ أَرْضَهُ يَكْثُرْ طَعَامُهُ، أَمَّا مَنْ يَتْبَعْ أَوْهَاماً بَاطِلَةً فَيَشْتَدّ فَقْرُهُ. | ١٩ |
20 A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent.
| الرَّجُلُ الأَمِينُ يَحْظَى بِبَرَكَاتٍ غَزِيرَةٍ، وَالْمُتَعَجِّلُ إِلَى الثَّرَاءِ لَا يَكُونُ بَرِيئاً. | ٢٠ |
21 To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread.
| الْمُحَابَاةُ نَقِيصَةٌ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ كِسْرَةِ خُبْزٍ يَرْتَكِبُ الإِنْسَانُ الإِسَاءَةَ. | ٢١ |
22 A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him.
| ذُو الْعَيْنِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ يَسْعَى مُسْرِعاً وَرَاءَ الْغِنَى، وَلا يُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الْفَقْرَ مُطْبِقٌ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٢ |
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
| مَنْ يُوَبِّخْ إِنْسَاناً يَحْظَ مِنْ بَعْدُ بِرِضَاهُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّنْ يَتَمَلَّقُ بِلِسَانِهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.
| مَنْ يَسْلُبُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ قَائِلاً: لَيْسَ فِي هَذَا إِثْمٌ، هُوَ شَرِيكُ الْهَادِمِ. | ٢٤ |
25 He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
| الإِنْسَانُ الْجَشِعُ يُثِيرُ النِّزَاعَ، وَالْمُتَوَكِّلُ عَلَى الرَّبِّ يُغْنَى. | ٢٥ |
26 Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.
| الْمُتَّكِلُ عَلَى رَأْيِهِ أَحْمَقُ، أَمَّا السَّالِكُ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ فَيَنْجُو. | ٢٦ |
27 He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.
| مَنْ يُحْسِنْ إِلَى الْفَقِيرِ لَا يُدْرِكْهُ عَوَزٌ وَمَنْ يَحْجِبُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنْهُ تَنْصَبُّ عَلَيْهِ لَعْنَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ. | ٢٧ |
28 When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
| عِنْدَمَا يَتَسَلَّطُ الأَشْرَارُ يَتَوَارَى النَّاسُ، وَعِنْدَمَا يَبِيدُونَ يَكْثُرُ الأَبْرَارُ. | ٢٨ |
