Proverbs 3
1 My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:
| يَا ٱبْنِي، لَا تَنْسَ شَرِيعَتِي، بَلْ لِيَحْفَظْ قَلْبُكَ وَصَايَايَ. | ١ |
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.
| فَإِنَّهَا تَزِيدُكَ طُولَ أَيَّامٍ، وَسِنِي حَيَاةٍ وَسَلَامَةً. | ٢ |
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart:
| لَا تَدَعِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ وَٱلْحَقَّ يَتْرُكَانِكَ. تَقَلَّدْهُمَا عَلَى عُنُقِكَ. اُكْتُبْهُمَا عَلَى لَوْحِ قَلْبِكَ، | ٣ |
4 So shall you find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
| فَتَجِدَ نِعْمَةً وَفِطْنَةً صَالِحَةً فِي أَعْيُنِ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ. | ٤ |
5 Trust in the LORD with all of your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.
| تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وَعَلَى فَهْمِكَ لَا تَعْتَمِدْ. | ٥ |
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
| فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِكَ ٱعْرِفْهُ، وَهُوَ يُقَوِّمُ سُبُلَكَ. | ٦ |
7 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
| لَا تَكُنْ حَكِيمًا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِكَ. ٱتَّقِ ٱلرَّبَّ وَٱبْعُدْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، | ٧ |
8 It shall be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones.
| فَيَكُونَ شِفَاءً لِسُرَّتِكَ، وَسَقَاءً لِعِظَامِكَ. | ٨ |
9 Honour the LORD with your substance, and with the first-fruits of all of your increase:
| أَكْرِمِ ٱلرَّبَّ مِنْ مَالِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ بَاكُورَاتِ غَلَّتِكَ، | ٩ |
10 So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.
| فَتَمْتَلِئَ خَزَائِنُكَ شِبْعًا، وَتَفِيضَ مَعَاصِرُكَ مِسْطَارًا. | ١٠ |
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
| يَا ٱبْنِي، لَا تَحْتَقِرْ تَأْدِيبَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا تَكْرَهْ تَوْبِيخَهُ، | ١١ |
12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُحِبُّهُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَكَأَبٍ بِٱبْنٍ يُسَرُّ بِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.
| طُوبَى لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَجِدُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ، وَلِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَنَالُ ٱلْفَهْمَ، | ١٣ |
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
| لِأَنَّ تِجَارَتَهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ تِجَارَةِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَرِبْحَهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْخَالِصِ. | ١٤ |
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.
| هِيَ أَثْمَنُ مِنَ ٱلَّلآلِئِ، وَكُلُّ جَوَاهِرِكَ لَا تُسَاوِيهَا. | ١٥ |
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
| فِي يَمِينِهَا طُولُ أَيَّامٍ، وَفِي يَسَارِهَا ٱلْغِنَى وَٱلْمَجْدُ. | ١٦ |
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
| طُرُقُهَا طُرُقُ نِعَمٍ، وَكُلُّ مَسَالِكِهَا سَلَامٌ. | ١٧ |
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retains her.
| هِيَ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ لِمُمْسِكِيهَا، وَٱلْمُتَمَسِّكُ بِهَا مَغْبُوطٌ. | ١٨ |
19 The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.
| ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ أَسَّسَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. أَثْبَتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ بِٱلْفَهْمِ. | ١٩ |
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
| بِعِلْمِهِ ٱنْشَقَّتِ ٱللُّجَجُ، وَتَقْطُرُ ٱلسَّحَابُ نَدًى. | ٢٠ |
21 My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
| يَا ٱبْنِي، لَا تَبْرَحْ هَذِهِ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ. ٱحْفَظِ ٱلرَّأْيَ وَٱلتَّدْبِيرَ، | ٢١ |
22 So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.
| فَيَكُونَا حَيَاةً لِنَفْسِكَ، وَنِعْمَةً لِعُنُقِكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيقِكَ آمِنًا، وَلَا تَعْثُرُ رِجْلُكَ. | ٢٣ |
24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
| إِذَا ٱضْطَجَعْتَ فَلَا تَخَافُ، بَلْ تَضْطَجِعُ وَيَلُذُّ نَوْمُكَ. | ٢٤ |
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.
| لَا تَخْشَى مِنْ خَوْفٍ بَاغِتٍ، وَلَا مِنْ خَرَابِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ إِذَا جَاءَ. | ٢٥ |
26 For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَكُونُ مُعْتَمَدَكَ، وَيَصُونُ رِجْلَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُؤْخَذَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
| لَا تَمْنَعِ ٱلْخَيْرَ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ، حِينَ يَكُونُ فِي طَاقَةِ يَدِكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ. | ٢٧ |
28 Say not unto your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you.
| لَا تَقُلْ لِصَاحِبِكَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَعُدْ فَأُعْطِيَكَ غَدًا» وَمَوْجُودٌ عِنْدَكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Devise not evil against your neighbour, seeing he dwells securely by you.
| لَا تَخْتَرِعْ شَرًّا عَلَى صَاحِبِكَ، وَهُوَ سَاكِنٌ لَدَيْكَ آمِنًا. | ٢٩ |
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm.
| لَا تُخَاصِمْ إِنْسَانًا بِدُونِ سَبَبٍ، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ صَنَعَ مَعَكَ شَرًّا. | ٣٠ |
31 Envy you not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
| لَا تَحْسِدِ ٱلظَّالِمَ وَلَا تَخْتَرْ شَيْئًا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ، | ٣١ |
32 For the perverse is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُلْتَوِيَ رَجْسٌ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَمَّا سِرُّهُ فَعِنْدَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ. | ٣٢ |
33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesses the habitation of the just.
| لَعْنَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، لَكِنَّهُ يُبَارِكُ مَسْكَنَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ. | ٣٣ |
34 Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace unto the lowly.
| كَمَا أَنَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ، هَكَذَا يُعْطِي نِعْمَةً لِلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ. | ٣٤ |
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
| ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ يَرِثُونَ مَجْدًا وَٱلْحَمْقَى يَحْمِلُونَ هَوَانًا. | ٣٥ |
