Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer, turneth away wrath, but a cutting word raiseth anger.
| اَلْجَوَابُ ٱللَّيِّنُ يَصْرِفُ ٱلْغَضَبَ، وَٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلْمُوجِعُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلسَّخَطَ. | ١ |
2 The tongue of the wise, adorneth knowledge, —but, the mouth of dullards, belcheth out folly.
| لِسَانُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ يُحَسِّنُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَفَمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يُنْبِعُ حَمَاقَةً. | ٢ |
3 In every place, are the eyes of Yahweh, observing the evil and the good.
| فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ مُرَاقِبَتَانِ ٱلطَّالِحِينَ وَٱلصَّالِحِينَ. | ٣ |
4 Gentleness of the tongue, is a tree of life, but, crookedness therein, a grievous wound in the spirit.
| هُدُوءُ ٱللِّسَانِ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ، وَٱعْوِجَاجُهُ سَحْقٌ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. | ٤ |
5 A foolish [son], spurneth the correction of his father, but, he that heedeth a reproof, sheweth prudence.
| اَلْأَحْمَقُ يَسْتَهِينُ بِتَأْدِيبِ أَبِيهِ، أَمَّا مُرَاعِي ٱلتَّوْبِيخِ فَيَذْكَى. | ٥ |
6 The household of the righteous man, is a great treasure, but, in the increase of the lawless, is disturbance.
| فِي بَيْتِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ كَنْزٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَفِي دَخْلِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كَدَرٌ. | ٦ |
7 The lips of the wise, scatter abroad knowledge, but, the heart of dullards, is not right.
| شِفَاهُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ تَذُرُّ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا قَلْبُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ فَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٧ |
8 The sacrifice of lawless men, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, the prayer of the upright, is his delight.
| ذَبِيحَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَصَلَاةُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَرْضَاتُهُ. | ٨ |
9 An abomination to Yahweh, is the way of the lawless, but, the pursuer of righteousness, he loveth.
| مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَرِيقُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَتَابِعُ ٱلْبِرِّ يُحِبُّهُ. | ٩ |
10 There is, grievous correction, for him that forsaketh the right path, He that hateth rebuke, shall die.
| تَأْدِيبُ شَرٍّ لِتَارِكِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. مُبْغِضُ ٱلتَّوْبِيخِ يَمُوتُ. | ١٠ |
11 Hades and destruction, are before Yahweh, how much more then, the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)
| اَلْهَاوِيَةُ وَٱلْهَلَاكُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ قُلُوبُ بَنِي آدَمَ! (Sheol h7585) | ١١ |
12 A scoffer, loveth not, one who reproveth him, unto the wise, doth he not go.
| اَلْمُسْتَهْزِئُ لَا يُحِبُّ مُوَبِّخَهُ. إِلَى ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ لَا يَذْهَبُ. | ١٢ |
13 A joyful heart, maketh a pleasing countenance, —but, in sorrow of heart, is a stricken spirit.
| اَلْقَلْبُ ٱلْفَرْحَانُ يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوَجْهَ طَلِقًا، وَبِحُزْنِ ٱلْقَلْبِ تَنْسَحِقُ ٱلرُّوحُ. | ١٣ |
14 The heart of the intelligent, seeketh knowledge, but, the mouth of dullards, feedeth on folly.
| قَلْبُ ٱلْفَهِيمِ يَطْلُبُ مَعْرِفَةً، وَفَمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يَرْعَى حَمَاقَةً. | ١٤ |
15 All the days of the afflicted, are sorrowful, but, a cheerful heart, is a continual banquet.
| كُلُّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْحَزِينِ شَقِيَّةٌ، أَمَّا طَيِّبُ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَوَلِيمَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ. | ١٥ |
16 Better is a little, with the reverence of Yahweh, than great treasure, and disquietude therewith.
| اَلْقَلِيلُ مَعَ مَخَافَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَنْزٍ عَظِيمٍ مَعَ هَمٍّ. | ١٦ |
17 Better is an allowance of herbs, and love, there, than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.
| أَكْلَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْبُقُولِ حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَوْرٍ مَعْلُوفٍ وَمَعَهُ بُغْضَةٌ. | ١٧ |
18 A wrathful man, stirreth up strife, but, he that is slow to anger, calmeth contention.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْغَضُوبُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْخُصُومَةَ، وَبَطِيءُ ٱلْغَضَبِ يُسَكِّنُ ٱلْخِصَامَ. | ١٨ |
19 The way of the sluggard, is like a thorn hedge, but, the path of the upright, is a raised road.
| طَرِيقُ ٱلْكَسْلَانِ كَسِيَاجٍ مِنْ شَوْكٍ، وَطَرِيقُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَنْهَجٌ. | ١٩ |
20 A wise son, maketh a glad father, —but, a dullard, despiseth his own mother.
| اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ يَسُرُّ أَبَاهُ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ يَحْتَقِرُ أُمَّهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 Folly, is joy to him that lacketh sense, —but, a man of understanding, taketh a straight course.
| ٱلْحَمَاقَةُ فَرَحٌ لِنَاقِصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ، أَمَّا ذُو ٱلْفَهْمِ فَيُقَوِّمُ سُلُوكَهُ. | ٢١ |
22 Plans, are frustrated, for lack of consultation, but, by the multitude of counsellors, shall counsel, be established.
| مَقَاصِدُ بِغَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ تَبْطُلُ، وَبِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْمُشِيرِينَ تَقُومُ. | ٢٢ |
23 A man hath joy, in the answer of his own mouth, and, a word in its season, —how good!
| لِلْإِنْسَانِ فَرَحٌ بِجَوَابِ فَمِهِ، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ فِي وَقْتِهَا مَا أَحْسَنَهَا! | ٢٣ |
| طَرِيقُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ لِلْفَطِنِ إِلَى فَوْقُ، لِلْحَيَدَانِ عَنِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ مِنْ تَحْتُ. (Sheol h7585) | ٢٤ |
25 The house of proud men, will Yahweh tear down, but he will maintain the boundary of the widow.
| اَلرَّبُّ يَقْلَعُ بَيْتَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، وَيُوَطِّدُ تُخْمَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 An abomination to Yahweh, are the plottings of the wicked, but, with the pure, are sayings of sweetness.
| مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَفْكَارُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَلِلْأَطْهَارِ كَلَامٌ حَسَنٌ. | ٢٦ |
27 He, troubleth his own house, who graspeth with greed, but, he that hateth gifts, shall live.
| اَلْمُولَعُ بِٱلْكَسْبِ يُكَدِّرُ بَيْتَهُ، وَٱلْكَارِهُ ٱلْهَدَايَا يَعِيشُ. | ٢٧ |
28 The heart of the righteous, studieth to answer, but, the mouth of the lawless, belcheth out mischiefs.
| قَلْبُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يَتَفَكَّرُ بِٱلْجَوَابِ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يُنْبِعُ شُرُورًا. | ٢٨ |
29 Far off is Yahweh, from the lawless, but, the prayer of the righteous, will he hear.
| اَلرَّبُّ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَيَسْمَعُ صَلَاةَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ. | ٢٩ |
30 The sparkling of bright eyes, rejoiceth the heart, Good news, giveth marrow to the bones.
| نُورُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ يُفَرِّحُ ٱلْقَلْبَ. اَلْخَبَرُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يُسَمِّنُ ٱلْعِظَامَ. | ٣٠ |
31 The ear that heareth the reproof which giveth life, in the midst of the wise, shall remain.
| اَلْأُذُنُ ٱلسَّامِعَةُ تَوْبِيخَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ تَسْتَقِرُّ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ. | ٣١ |
32 He that declineth correction, despiseth his own soul, but, he that heareth reproof, gaineth sense.
| مَنْ يَرْفُضُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ يُرْذِلُ نَفْسَهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْمَعُ لِلتَّوْبِيخِ يَقْتَنِي فَهْمًا. | ٣٢ |
33 The reverence of Yahweh, is the correction of wisdom, and, before honour, is humility.
| مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدَبُ حِكْمَةٍ، وَقَبْلَ ٱلْكَرَامَةِ ٱلتَّوَاضُعُ. | ٣٣ |
