Proverbs 3
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
| يَا ابْنِي لَا تَنْسَ تَعَالِيمِي، وَلْيُرَاعِ قَلْبُكَ وَصَايَايَ. | ١ |
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
| لأَنَّهَا تَمُدُّ فِي أَيَّامِ عُمْرِكَ، وَتَزِيدُكَ سِنِي حَيَاةٍ وَسَلاماً. | ٢ |
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
| لَا تَدَعِ الرَّحْمَةَ وَالأَمَانَةَ تَتَخَلَّيَانِ عَنْكَ، بَلْ تَقَلَّدْهُمَا فِي عُنُقِكَ، وَاكْتُبْهُمَا عَلَى صَفْحَةِ قَلْبِكَ، | ٣ |
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
| فَتَحْظَى بِالرِّضَى وَحُسْنِ السِّيرَةِ فِي عُيُونِ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ. | ٤ |
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
| اتَّكِلْ عَلَى الرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وَعَلَى فِطْنَتِكَ لَا تَعْتَمِدْ. | ٥ |
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
| اعْرِفِ الرَّبَّ فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِكَ وَهُوَ يُقَوِّمُ سُبُلَكَ. | ٦ |
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
| لَا تَكُنْ حَكِيماً فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِكَ بَلِ اتَّقِ الرَّبَّ وَحِدْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ، | ٧ |
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
| فَيَتَمَتَّعَ جَسَدُكَ بِالصِّحَّةِ، وَتَتَمَتَّعَ عِظَامُكَ بِالارْتِوَاءِ. | ٨ |
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
| أَكْرِمِ الرَّبَّ مِنْ مَالِكَ، وَمِنْ أَوَائِلِ غَلَّاتِ مَحَاصِيلِكَ. | ٩ |
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
| فَتَمْتَلِئَ مَخَازِنُكَ وَفْرَةً، وَتَفِيضَ مَعَاصِرُكَ خَمْراً. | ١٠ |
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
| يَا ابْنِي لَا تَحْتَقِرْ تَأْدِيبَ الرَّبِّ وَلا تَكْرَهْ تَوْبِيخَهُ، | ١١ |
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
| لأَنَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّهُ الرَّبُّ يُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَيُسَرُّ بِهِ كَمَا يُسَرُّ أَبٌ بِابْنِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.
| طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي عَثَرَ عَلَى الْحِكْمَةِ وَلِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي أَحْرَزَ فَهْماً، | ١٣ |
14 For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
| لأَنَّ مَكَاسِبَهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مَكَاسِبِ الْفِضَّةِ، وَأَرْبَاحَهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَرْبَاحِ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ. | ١٤ |
15 She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
| هِيَ أَثْمَنُ مِنَ الْجَوَاهِرِ، وَكُلُّ نَفَائِسِكَ لَا تُعَادِلُهَا. | ١٥ |
16 Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour.
| فِي يَمِينِهَا حَيَاةٌ مَدِيدَةٌ وَفِي يَسَارِهَا غِنىً وَجَاهٌ. | ١٦ |
17 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
| طُرُقُهَا طُرُقُ نِعَمٍ، وَدُرُوبُهَا دُرُوبُ سَلامٍ. | ١٧ |
18 She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.
| هِيَ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ لِمَنْ يَتَشَبَّثُ بِها، وَهَنِيئاً لِمَنْ يَتَمَسَّكُ بِها. | ١٨ |
19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
| بِالْحِكْمَةِ أَسَّسَ الرَّبُّ الأَرْضَ، وَبِالْفِطْنَةِ ثَبَّتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ فِي مَوَاضِعِهَا. | ١٩ |
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
| بِعِلْمِهِ تَفَجَّرَتِ اللُّجَجُ، وَقَطَرَ السَّحَابُ نَدىً. | ٢٠ |
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
| فَلا تَبْرَحْ يَا ابْنِي هَذِهِ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيْكَ وَاعْمَلْ بِالرَّأْيِ الصَّائِبِ وَالتَّدْبِيرِ. | ٢١ |
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
| فَيَكُونَ هَذَانِ حَيَاةً لِنَفْسِكَ وَقَلادَةً تُجَمِّلُ عُنُقَكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
| فَتَسْلُكُ آنَئِذٍ فِي طَرِيقِكَ آمِناً وَلا تَتَعَثَّرُ قَدَمُكَ. | ٢٣ |
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
| إِذَا اضْطَجَعْتَ لَا يَعْتَرِيكَ خَوْفٌ، بَلْ تَرْقُدُ مُتَمَتِّعاً بِالنَّوْمِ اللَّذِيذِ. | ٢٤ |
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
| لَا تَفْزَعْ مِنْ بَلِيَّةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ، وَلا مِمَّا يَجْرِي عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ مِنْ خَرَابٍ إِذَا حَلَّ بِهِمْ. | ٢٥ |
26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَكُونُ مُعْتَمَدَكَ، وَيَصُونُ رِجْلَكَ مِنَ الشَّرَكِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do [it].
| لَا تَحْجُبِ الإِحْسَانَ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ كُلَّمَا كَانَ فِي وُسْعِكَ أَنْ تَقُومَ بِهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
| لَا تَقُلْ لِجَارِكَ: «اذْهَبِ الآنَ، ثُمَّ عُدْ ثَانِيَةً. غَداً أُعْطِيكَ مَا تَطْلُبُ»، طَالَمَا لَدَيْكَ مَا يَطْلُبُ. | ٢٨ |
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
| لَا تَتَآمَرْ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَى جَارِكَ الْمُقِيمِ مُطْمَئِنّاً إِلَى جُوَارِكَ. | ٢٩ |
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
| لَا تُخَاصِمْ أَحَداً مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ طَالَمَا لَمْ يُؤْذِكَ. | ٣٠ |
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
| لَا تَغَرْ مِنَ الظَّالِمِ وَلا تَخْتَرْ طُرُقَهُ. | ٣١ |
32 For the froward [is] abomination to the LORD: but his secret [is] with the righteous.
| لأَنَّ الْمُلْتَوِيَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ، أَمَّا الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَهُمْ أَهْلُ ثِقَتِهِ. | ٣٢ |
33 The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
| لَعْنَةُ الرَّبِّ تَنْصَبُّ عَلَى بَيْتِ الشِّرِّيرِ، لَكِنَّهُ يُبَارِكُ مَسْكَنَ الصِّدِّيقِ. | ٣٣ |
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
| يَسخَرُ مِنَ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ السَّاخِرِينَ، وَيُغْدِقُ رِضَاهُ عَلَى الْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ | ٣٤ |
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
| يَرِثُ الْحُكَمَاءُ كَرَامَةً، أَمَّا الْحَمْقَى فَيَرْتَدُونَ الْعَارَ. | ٣٥ |
