Proverbs 29
1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
| اَلْكَثِيرُ ٱلتَّوَبُّخِ، ٱلْمُقَسِّي عُنُقَهُ، بَغْتَةً يُكَسَّرُ وَلَا شِفَاءَ. | ١ |
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.
| إِذَا سَادَ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ فَرِحَ ٱلشَّعْبُ، وَإِذَا تَسَلَّطَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَئِنُّ ٱلشَّعْبُ. | ٢ |
3 Whoso loves wisdom rejoices his father: but he that keeps company with harlots spends his substance.
| مَنْ يُحِبُّ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ يُفَرِّحُ أَبَاهُ، وَرَفِيقُ ٱلزَّوَانِي يُبَدِّدُ مَالًا. | ٣ |
4 The king by judgment establishes the land: but he that receives gifts overthrows it.
| اَلْمَلِكُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ يُثَبِّتُ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلْقَابِلُ ٱلْهَدَايَا يُدَمِّرُهَا. | ٤ |
5 A man that flatters his neighbour spreads a net for his feet.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يُطْرِي صَاحِبَهُ يَبْسُطُ شَبَكَةً لِرِجْلَيْهِ. | ٥ |
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous does sing and rejoice.
| فِي مَعْصِيَةِ رَجُلٍ شِرِّيرٍ شَرَكٌ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَيَتَرَنَّمُ وَيَفْرَحُ. | ٦ |
7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not to know it.
| ٱلصِّدِّيقُ يَعْرِفُ دَعْوَى ٱلْفُقَرَاءِ، أَمَّا ٱلشِّرِّيرُ فَلَا يَفْهَمُ مَعْرِفَةً. | ٧ |
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
| اَلنَّاسُ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ يَفْتِنُونَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، أَمَّا ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ فَيَصْرِفُونَ ٱلْغَضَبَ. | ٨ |
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
| رَجُلٌ حَكِيمٌ إِنْ حَاكَمَ رَجُلًا أَحْمَقَ، فَإِنْ غَضِبَ وَإِنْ ضَحِكَ فَلَا رَاحَةَ. | ٩ |
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
| أَهْلُ ٱلدِّمَاءِ يُبْغِضُونَ ٱلْكَامِلَ، أَمَّا ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards.
| اَلْجَاهِلُ يُظْهِرُ كُلَّ غَيْظِهِ، وَٱلْحَكِيمُ يُسَكِّنُهُ أَخِيرًا. | ١١ |
12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
| اَلْحَاكِمُ ٱلْمُصْغِي إِلَى كَلَامِ كَذِبٍ كُلُّ خُدَّامِهِ أَشْرَارٌ. | ١٢ |
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lightens both their eyes.
| اَلْفَقِيرُ وَٱلْمُرْبِي يَتَلَاقَيَانِ. ٱلرَّبُّ يُنَوِّرُ أَعْيُنَ كِلَيْهِمَا. | ١٣ |
14 The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
| اَلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَاكِمُ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ يُثَبَّتُ كُرْسِيُّهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٤ |
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.
| اَلْعَصَا وَٱلتَّوْبِيخُ يُعْطِيَانِ حِكْمَةً، وَٱلصَّبِيُّ ٱلْمُطْلَقُ إِلَى هَوَاهُ يُخْجِلُ أُمَّهُ. | ١٥ |
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases: but the righteous shall see their fall.
| إِذَا سَادَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ كَثُرَتِ ٱلْمَعَاصِي، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ فَيَنْظُرُونَ سُقُوطَهُمْ. | ١٦ |
17 Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.
| أَدِّبِ ٱبْنَكَ فَيُرِيحَكَ وَيُعْطِيَ نَفْسَكَ لَذَّاتٍ. | ١٧ |
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.
| بِلَا رُؤْيَا يَجْمَحُ ٱلشَّعْبُ، أَمَّا حَافِظُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ فَطُوبَاهُ. | ١٨ |
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
| بِٱلْكَلَامِ لَا يُؤَدَّبُ ٱلْعَبْدُ، لِأَنَّهُ يَفْهَمُ وَلَا يُعْنَى. | ١٩ |
20 See you a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
| أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْسَانًا عَجُولًا فِي كَلَامِهِ؟ ٱلرَّجَاءُ بِٱلْجَاهِلِ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّجَاءِ بِهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
| مَنْ فَنَّقَ عَبْدَهُ مِنْ حَدَاثَتِهِ، فَفِي آخِرَتِهِ يَصِيرُ مَنُونًا. | ٢١ |
22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْغَضُوبُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْخِصَامَ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلسَّخُوطُ كَثِيرُ ٱلْمَعَاصِي. | ٢٢ |
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
| كِبْرِيَاءُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَضَعُهُ، وَٱلْوَضِيعُ ٱلرُّوحِ يَنَالُ مَجْدًا. | ٢٣ |
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hates his own soul: he hears cursing, and betrayed it not.
| مَنْ يُقَاسِمْ سَارِقًا يُبْغِضْ نَفْسَهُ، يَسْمَعُ ٱللَّعْنَ وَلَا يُقِرُّ. | ٢٤ |
25 The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
| خَشْيَةُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَضَعُ شَرَكًا، وَٱلْمُتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ يُرْفَعُ. | ٢٥ |
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment comes from the LORD.
| كَثِيرُونَ يَطْلُبُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِ، أَمَّا حَقُّ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فَمِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ |
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلظَّالِمُ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ، وَٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُ ٱلطَّرِيقِ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. | ٢٧ |
