Proverbs 11
1 A deceptive balance, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, a full weight, is his delight.
| مَوَازِينُ غِشٍّ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْوَزْنُ ٱلصَّحِيحُ رِضَاهُ. | ١ |
2 When pride cometh, then cometh contempt, but, with the modest, is wisdom.
| تَأْتِي ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءُ فَيَأْتِي ٱلْهَوَانُ، وَمَعَ ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ حِكْمَةٌ. | ٢ |
3 The integrity of the upright, shall guide them, but, the crookedness of the treacherous, shall be their ruin.
| اِسْتِقَامَةُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ تَهْدِيهِمْ، وَٱعْوِجَاجُ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ يُخْرِبُهُمْ. | ٣ |
4 Wealth, shall not profit, in the day of wrath, but, righteousness, shall deliver from death.
| لَا يَنْفَعُ ٱلْغِنَى فِي يَوْمِ ٱلسَّخَطِ، أَمَّا ٱلْبِرُّ فَيُنَجِّي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ٤ |
5 The righteousness of the blameless, shall smooth his way, but, by his own lawlessness, shall the lawless one, fall.
| بِرُّ ٱلْكَامِلِ يُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ، أَمَّا ٱلشِّرِّيرُ فَيَسْقُطُ بِشَرِّهِ. | ٥ |
6 The righteousness of the upright, shall deliver them, but, by their own craving, shall the treacherous be captured.
| بِرُّ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ يُنَجِّيهِمْ، أَمَّا ٱلْغَادِرُونَ فَيُؤْخَذُونَ بِفَسَادِهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 When the lawless man dieth, his expectation, perisheth, and, the hope of strong men, hath vanished.
| عِنْدَ مَوْتِ إِنْسَانٍ شِرِّيرٍ يَهْلِكُ رَجَاؤُهُ، وَمُنْتَظَرُ ٱلْأَثَمَةِ يَبِيدُ. | ٧ |
8 The righteous man, out of distress, is delivered, then cometh a lawless man into his place.
| اَلصِّدِّيقُ يَنْجُو مِنَ ٱلضِّيقِ، وَيَأْتِي ٱلشِّرِّيرُ مَكَانَهُ. | ٨ |
9 With the mouth, a profane man destroyeth his neighbour, but, through knowledge, shall righteous men be delivered.
| بِٱلْفَمِ يُخْرِبُ ٱلْمُنَافِقُ صَاحِبَهُ، وَبِالْمَعْرِفَةِ يَنْجُو ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ. | ٩ |
10 When it is, well with the righteous, the city, exulteth, When the lawless perish, there is a shout of triumph.
| بِخَيْرِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ تَفْرَحُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ، وَعِنْدَ هَلَاكِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ هُتَافٌ. | ١٠ |
11 When the upright are blessed, exalted is the city, but, by the mouth of the lawless, it is overthrown.
| بِبَرَكَةِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ تَعْلُو ٱلْمَدِينَةُ، وَبِفَمِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ تُهْدَمُ. | ١١ |
12 He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, lacketh sense, but, a man of understanding, observeth silence.
| اَلْمُحْتَقِرُ صَاحِبَهُ هُوَ نَاقِصُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، أَمَّا ذُو ٱلْفَهْمِ فَيَسْكُتُ. | ١٢ |
13 He that goeth about talebearing, revealeth a secret, but, he that is faithful in spirit, concealeth a matter.
| ٱلسَّاعِي بِٱلْوِشَايَةِ يُفْشِي ٱلسِّرَّ، وَٱلْأَمِينُ ٱلرُّوحِ يَكْتُمُ ٱلْأَمْرَ. | ١٣ |
14 With no guidance, a people will fall, but, safety, lieth in the greatness of the counsellor.
| حَيْثُ لَا تَدْبِيرٌ يَسْقُطُ ٱلشَّعْبُ، أَمَّا ٱلْخَلَاصُ فَبِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْمُشِيرِينَ. | ١٤ |
15 He that becometh surety for a stranger, goeth to utter ruin, but, he that hateth striking hands, is secure.
| ضَرَرًا يُضَرُّ مَنْ يَضْمَنُ غَرِيبًا، وَمَنْ يُبْغِضُ صَفْقَ ٱلْأَيْدِي مُطْمَئِنٌّ. | ١٥ |
16 A gracious wife, obtaineth honour, but, the diligent, shall obtain wealth.
| اَلْمَرْأَةُ ذَاتُ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ تُحَصِّلُ كَرَامَةً، وَٱلْأَشِدَّاءُ يُحَصِّلُونَ غِنًى. | ١٦ |
17 The man of lovingkindness, dealeth well with his own soul, but the cruel man, troubleth his own flesh.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ يُحْسِنُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ، وَٱلْقَاسِي يُكَدِّرُ لَحْمَهُ. | ١٧ |
18 The lawless man, earneth the wages of falsehood, but, he that soweth righteousness, hath the reward of fidelity.
| اَلشِّرِّيرُ يَكْسَبُ أُجْرَةَ غِشٍّ، وَٱلزَّارِعُ ٱلْبِرَّ أُجْرَةَ أَمَانَةٍ. | ١٨ |
19 A righteous son, [turneth] to life, but, he that pursueth wickedness, to his own death.
| كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْبِرَّ يَؤُولُ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ كَذَلِكَ مَنْ يَتْبَعُ ٱلشَّرَّ فَإِلَى مَوْتِهِ. | ١٩ |
20 The abomination of Yahweh, are they of perverse heart, but, his delight, are the men of blameless life.
| كَرَاهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُلْتَوُو ٱلْقَلْبِ، وَرِضَاهُ مُسْتَقِيمُو ٱلطَّرِيقِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Hand to hand, the wicked man shall not be held innocent, but, the seed of the righteous, hath been delivered.
| يَدٌ لِيَدٍ لَا يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، أَمَّا نَسْلُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ فَيَنْجُو. | ٢١ |
22 As a ring of gold in the snout of a swine, is a woman of beauty who hath abandoned discretion.
| خِزَامَةُ ذَهَبٍ فِي فِنْطِيسَةِ خِنْزِيرَةٍ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلْجَمِيلَةُ ٱلْعَدِيمَةُ ٱلْعَقْلِ. | ٢٢ |
23 The desire of the righteous, is only good, the expectation of the lawless, is wrath.
| شَهْوَةُ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ خَيْرٌ فَقَطْ. رَجَاءُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ سَخَطٌ. | ٢٣ |
24 There is who scattereth, and increaseth yet more, and who withholdeth of what is due, only to come to want.
| يُوجَدُ مَنْ يُفَرِّقُ فَيَزْدَادُ أَيْضًا، وَمَنْ يُمْسِكُ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱللَّائِقِ وَإِنَّمَا إِلَى ٱلْفَقْرِ. | ٢٤ |
25 The liberal soul, shall be enriched, and, he that refresheth, shall himself also be refreshed.
| ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلسَّخِيَّةُ تُسَمَّنُ، وَٱلْمُرْوِي هُوَ أَيْضًا يُرْوَى. | ٢٥ |
26 He that keepeth back corn, the populace will curse him, but there is, a blessing, for the head of him that selleth.
| مُحْتَكِرُ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ يَلْعَنُهُ ٱلشَّعْبُ، وَٱلْبَرَكَةُ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْبَائِعِ. | ٢٦ |
27 He that diligently seeketh good, aimeth at favour, but, he that studieth mischief, it shall come on himself.
| مَنْ يَطْلُبُ ٱلْخَيْرَ يَلْتَمِسُ ٱلرِّضَا، وَمَنْ يَطْلُبُ ٱلشَّرَّ فَٱلشَّرُّ يَأْتِيهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 He that trusteth in his riches, the same, shall fall, but, like the leaf, shall the righteous break forth.
| مَنْ يَتَّكِلْ عَلَى غِنَاهُ يَسْقُطْ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ فَيَزْهُونَ كَٱلْوَرَقِ. | ٢٨ |
29 He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the wind, but, a servant, shall the foolish be, to the wise in heart.
| مَنْ يُكَدِّرُ بَيْتَهُ يَرِثِ ٱلرِّيحَ، وَٱلْغَبِيُّ خَادِمٌ لِحَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٢٩ |
30 The fruit of the righteous, is a tree of life, and, he that rescueth souls, is wise.
| ثَمَرُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ، وَرَابِحُ ٱلنُّفُوسِ حَكِيمٌ. | ٣٠ |
31 Lo! the righteous, in the earth shall be recompensed, how much more the lawless and the sinner.
| هُوَذَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ يُجَازَى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ وَٱلْخَاطِئُ! | ٣١ |
