Proverbs 3
1 My son! Do not forget my law, And let your heart keep my commands,
| يَا ٱبْنِي، لَا تَنْسَ شَرِيعَتِي، بَلْ لِيَحْفَظْ قَلْبُكَ وَصَايَايَ. | ١ |
2 For [the] length of [your] days and years, Life and peace they add to you.
| فَإِنَّهَا تَزِيدُكَ طُولَ أَيَّامٍ، وَسِنِي حَيَاةٍ وَسَلَامَةً. | ٢ |
3 Do not let kindness and truth forsake you, Bind them on your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,
| لَا تَدَعِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ وَٱلْحَقَّ يَتْرُكَانِكَ. تَقَلَّدْهُمَا عَلَى عُنُقِكَ. اُكْتُبْهُمَا عَلَى لَوْحِ قَلْبِكَ، | ٣ |
4 And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.
| فَتَجِدَ نِعْمَةً وَفِطْنَةً صَالِحَةً فِي أَعْيُنِ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ. | ٤ |
5 Trust to YHWH with all your heart, And do not lean to your own understanding.
| تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ، وَعَلَى فَهْمِكَ لَا تَعْتَمِدْ. | ٥ |
6 In all your ways know Him, And He makes your paths straight.
| فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِكَ ٱعْرِفْهُ، وَهُوَ يُقَوِّمُ سُبُلَكَ. | ٦ |
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes, Fear YHWH, and turn aside from evil.
| لَا تَكُنْ حَكِيمًا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِكَ. ٱتَّقِ ٱلرَّبَّ وَٱبْعُدْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، | ٧ |
8 It is healing to your navel, And moistening to your bones.
| فَيَكُونَ شِفَاءً لِسُرَّتِكَ، وَسَقَاءً لِعِظَامِكَ. | ٨ |
9 Honor YHWH from your substance, And from the beginning of all your increase;
| أَكْرِمِ ٱلرَّبَّ مِنْ مَالِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ بَاكُورَاتِ غَلَّتِكَ، | ٩ |
10 And your barns are filled [with] plenty, And your presses break forth [with] new wine.
| فَتَمْتَلِئَ خَزَائِنُكَ شِبْعًا، وَتَفِيضَ مَعَاصِرُكَ مِسْطَارًا. | ١٠ |
11 Discipline of YHWH, my son, do not despise, And do not be distressed with His reproof,
| يَا ٱبْنِي، لَا تَحْتَقِرْ تَأْدِيبَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا تَكْرَهْ تَوْبِيخَهُ، | ١١ |
12 For whom YHWH loves He reproves, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُحِبُّهُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَكَأَبٍ بِٱبْنٍ يُسَرُّ بِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 O the blessedness of a man [who] has found wisdom, And of a man [who] brings forth understanding.
| طُوبَى لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَجِدُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ، وَلِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يَنَالُ ٱلْفَهْمَ، | ١٣ |
14 For better [is] her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold—her increase.
| لِأَنَّ تِجَارَتَهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ تِجَارَةِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَرِبْحَهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْخَالِصِ. | ١٤ |
15 She [is] precious above rubies, And all your pleasures are not comparable to her.
| هِيَ أَثْمَنُ مِنَ ٱلَّلآلِئِ، وَكُلُّ جَوَاهِرِكَ لَا تُسَاوِيهَا. | ١٥ |
16 Length of days [is] in her right hand, In her left [are] wealth and honor.
| 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 those laying hold on her, And whoever is retaining her [is] blessed.
| هِيَ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ لِمُمْسِكِيهَا، وَٱلْمُتَمَسِّكُ بِهَا مَغْبُوطٌ. | ١٨ |
19 YHWH founded the earth by wisdom, He prepared the heavens by understanding.
| ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ أَسَّسَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. أَثْبَتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ بِٱلْفَهْمِ. | ١٩ |
20 By His knowledge depths have been broken, And clouds drop dew.
| بِعِلْمِهِ ٱنْشَقَّتِ ٱللُّجَجُ، وَتَقْطُرُ ٱلسَّحَابُ نَدًى. | ٢٠ |
21 My son! Do not let them turn from your eyes, Keep wisdom and thoughtfulness,
| يَا ٱبْنِي، لَا تَبْرَحْ هَذِهِ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ. ٱحْفَظِ ٱلرَّأْيَ وَٱلتَّدْبِيرَ، | ٢١ |
22 And they are life to your soul, and grace to your neck.
| فَيَكُونَا حَيَاةً لِنَفْسِكَ، وَنِعْمَةً لِعُنُقِكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Then you go your way confidently, And your foot does not stumble.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيقِكَ آمِنًا، وَلَا تَعْثُرُ رِجْلُكَ. | ٢٣ |
24 If you lie down, you are not afraid, Indeed, you have lain down, And your sleep has been sweet.
| إِذَا ٱضْطَجَعْتَ فَلَا تَخَافُ، بَلْ تَضْطَجِعُ وَيَلُذُّ نَوْمُكَ. | ٢٤ |
25 Do not be afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the wicked when it comes.
| لَا تَخْشَى مِنْ خَوْفٍ بَاغِتٍ، وَلَا مِنْ خَرَابِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ إِذَا جَاءَ. | ٢٥ |
26 For YHWH is at your side, And He has kept your foot from capture.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَكُونُ مُعْتَمَدَكَ، وَيَصُونُ رِجْلَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُؤْخَذَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Do not withhold good from its owners, When your hand [is] toward God to do [it].
| لَا تَمْنَعِ ٱلْخَيْرَ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ، حِينَ يَكُونُ فِي طَاقَةِ يَدِكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ. | ٢٧ |
28 Do not say to your friend, “Go, and return, and tomorrow I give,” When substance [is] with you.
| لَا تَقُلْ لِصَاحِبِكَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَعُدْ فَأُعْطِيَكَ غَدًا» وَمَوْجُودٌ عِنْدَكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor, And he sitting confidently with you.
| لَا تَخْتَرِعْ شَرًّا عَلَى صَاحِبِكَ، وَهُوَ سَاكِنٌ لَدَيْكَ آمِنًا. | ٢٩ |
30 Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has not done you evil.
| لَا تُخَاصِمْ إِنْسَانًا بِدُونِ سَبَبٍ، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ صَنَعَ مَعَكَ شَرًّا. | ٣٠ |
31 Do not be envious of a man of violence, Nor fix on any of his ways.
| لَا تَحْسِدِ ٱلظَّالِمَ وَلَا تَخْتَرْ شَيْئًا مِنْ طُرُقِهِ، | ٣١ |
32 For the perverted [is] an abomination to YHWH, And His secret counsel [is] with the upright.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُلْتَوِيَ رَجْسٌ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَمَّا سِرُّهُ فَعِنْدَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ. | ٣٢ |
33 The curse of YHWH [is] in the house of the wicked. And He blesses the habitation of the righteous.
| لَعْنَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، لَكِنَّهُ يُبَارِكُ مَسْكَنَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ. | ٣٣ |
34 If He scorns the scorners, Yet He gives grace to the humble.
| كَمَا أَنَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ، هَكَذَا يُعْطِي نِعْمَةً لِلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ. | ٣٤ |
35 The wise inherit glory, And fools are bearing away shame!
| ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ يَرِثُونَ مَجْدًا وَٱلْحَمْقَى يَحْمِلُونَ هَوَانًا. | ٣٥ |
