Proverbs 10

1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son, maketh a glad father, but, a foolish son, is the grief of his mother.

١ أَمْثَالُ سُلَيْمَانَ: اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ يَسُرُّ أَبَاهُ، وَٱلِٱبْنُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ حُزْنُ أُمِّهِ.

2 The treasures of lawlessness, do not profit, but, righteousness, delivereth from death.

٢ كُنُوزُ ٱلشَّرِّ لَا تَنْفَعُ، أَمَّا ٱلْبِرُّ فَيُنَجِّي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ.

3 Yahweh, suffereth not to famish, the soul of the righteous, but, the desire of the lawless, he thrusteth away.

٣ اَلرَّبُّ لَا يُجِيعُ نَفْسَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يَدْفَعُ هَوَى ٱلْأَشْرَارِ.

4 He becometh poor, who dealeth with a slack hand, but, the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.

٤ اَلْعَامِلُ بِيَدٍ رَخْوَةٍ يَفْتَقِرُ، أَمَّا يَدُ ٱلْمُجْتَهِدِينَ فَتُغْنِي.

5 He that gathereth in summer, is a prudent son, he that sleepeth long in harvest, is a son causing shame.

٥ مَنْ يَجْمَعُ فِي ٱلصَّيْفِ فَهُوَ ٱبْنٌ عَاقِلٌ، وَمَنْ يَنَامُ فِي ٱلْحَصَادِ فَهُوَ ٱبْنٌ مُخْزٍ.

6 Blessings, are for the head of the righteous man, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth up wrong.

٦ بَرَكَاتٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، أَمَّا فَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَغْشَاهُ ظُلْمٌ.

7 The memory of the righteous, yieldeth blessing, but, the name of the lawless, dieth out.

٧ ذِكْرُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ لِلْبَرَكَةِ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْخَرُ.

8 The wise in heart, will accept commandments, but, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust away.

٨ حَكِيمُ ٱلْقَلْبِ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْوَصَايَا، وَغَبِيُّ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ يُصْرَعُ.

9 He that walketh uprightly, may walk securely, but, he that maketh crooked his ways, shall be found out.

٩ مَنْ يَسْلُكُ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ يَسْلُكُ بِٱلْأَمَانِ، وَمَنْ يُعَوِّجُ طُرُقَهُ يُعَرَّفُ.

10 He that winketh with the eye, causeth sorrow, and, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust aside.

١٠ مَنْ يَغْمِزُ بِٱلْعَيْنِ يُسَبِّبُ حُزْنًا، وَٱلْغَبِيُّ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ يُصْرَعُ.

11 A well-spring of life, is the mouth of the righteous, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth wrong.

١١ فَمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يَنْبُوعُ حَيَاةٍ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَغْشَاهُ ظُلْمٌ.

12 Hatred, stirreth up strifes, but, over all transgressions, love throweth a covering.

١٢ اَلْبُغْضَةُ تُهَيِّجُ خُصُومَاتٍ، وَٱلْمَحَبَّةُ تَسْتُرُ كُلَّ ٱلذُّنُوبِ.

13 In the lips of the intelligent, is found wisdom, but, a rod, is for the back of him that lacketh sense.

١٣ فِي شَفَتَيِ ٱلْعَاقِلِ تُوجَدُ حِكْمَةٌ، وَٱلْعَصَا لِظَهْرِ ٱلنَّاقِصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ.

14 Wise men, treasure up knowledge, but, the mouth of the foolish, is a terror near at hand.

١٤ اَلْحُكَمَاءُ يَذْخَرُونَ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا فَمُ ٱلْغَبِيِّ فَهَلَاكٌ قَرِيبٌ.

15 The substance of the rich, is his strong city, the terror of the poor, is their poverty.

١٥ ثَرْوَةُ ٱلْغَنِيِّ مَدِينَتُهُ ٱلْحَصِينَةُ. هَلَاكُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ فَقْرُهُمْ.

16 The labour of the righteous, [leadeth] to life, the increase of the lawless, to sin.

١٦ عَمَلُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ لِلْحَيَاةِ. رِبْحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ.

17 On the way to life, is he that heedeth correction, but, he that hateth reproof, is going astray.

١٧ حَافِظُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ هُوَ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَرَافِضُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبِ ضَالٌّ.

18 He that concealeth hatred, hath false lips, and he that sendeth forth slander, the same, is a dullard.

١٨ مَنْ يُخْفِي ٱلْبُغْضَةَ فَشَفَتَاهُ كَاذِبَتَانِ، وَمُشِيعُ ٱلْمَذَمَّةِ هُوَ جَاهِلٌ.

19 In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.

١٩ كَثْرَةُ ٱلْكَلَامِ لَا تَخْلُو مِنْ مَعْصِيَةٍ، أَمَّا ٱلضَّابِطُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَعَاقِلٌ.

20 Choice silver, is the tongue of the righteous, but, the sense of the lawless, is very small.

٢٠ لِسَانُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ فِضَّةٌ مُخْتَارَةٌ. قَلْبُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كَشَيْءٍ زَهِيدٍ.

21 The lips of the righteous, feed multitudes, but, the foolish, for lack of sense, shall die.

٢١ شَفَتَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ تَهْدِيَانِ كَثِيرِينَ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَغْبِيَاءُ فَيَمُوتُونَ مِنْ نَقْصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ.

22 The blessing of Yahweh, itself maketh rich, and he addeth no grievance therewith.

٢٢ بَرَكَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ تُغْنِي، وَلَا يَزِيدُ مَعَهَا تَعَبًا.

23 It is, mere sport to a stupid man, to commit lewdness, but, wisdom, pertaineth to a man of understanding.

٢٣ فِعْلُ ٱلرَّذِيلَةِ عِنْدَ ٱلْجَاهِلِ كَٱلضِّحْكِ، أَمَّا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ فَلِذِي فَهْمٍ.

24 The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.

٢٤ خَوْفُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ هُوَ يَأْتِيهِ، وَشَهْوَةُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ تُمْنَحُ.

25 Like the passing away of a tempest, so the lawless one is not, but, the righteous, [hath] an age-abiding foundation.

٢٥ كَعُبُورِ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ فَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَأَسَاسٌ مُؤَبَّدٌ.

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so, is the sluggard, to them who send him.

٢٦ كَٱلْخَلِّ لِلْأَسْنَانِ، وَكَالدُّخَانِ لِلْعَيْنَيْنِ، كَذَلِكَ ٱلْكَسْلَانُ لِلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُوهُ.

27 The reverence of Yahweh, addeth days, but, the years of the lawless, shall be shortened.

٢٧ مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَزِيدُ ٱلْأَيَّامَ، أَمَّا سِنُو ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتُقْصَرُ.

28 The hope of the righteous, shall be gladness, but, the expectation of the lawless, shall vanish.

٢٨ مُنْتَظَرُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ مُفَرِّحٌ، أَمَّا رَجَاءُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَبِيدُ.

29 A refuge for the blameless, is the path of Yahweh, but, destruction, [awaiteth] the workers of iniquity.

٢٩ حِصْنٌ لِلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ طَرِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لِفَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ.

30 The righteous, to times age-abiding, shall remain unshaken, but, the lawless, shall not inhabit the earth.

٣٠ اَلصِّدِّيقُ لَنْ يُزَحْزَحَ أَبَدًا، وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَنْ يَسْكُنُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ.

31 The mouth of the righteous, beareth the fruit of wisdom, but, a perverse tongue, shall be cut off.

٣١ فَمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يُنْبِتُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ، أَمَّا لِسَانُ ٱلْأَكَاذِيبِ فَيُقْطَعُ.

32 The lips of the righteous, know what is pleasing, but, the mouth of the lawless, [speaketh] perversities.

٣٢ شَفَتَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ تَعْرِفَانِ ٱلْمَرْضِيَّ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ أَكَاذِيبُ.
