Proverbs 29
1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth [his] neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
| اَلْكَثِيرُ ٱلتَّوَبُّخِ، ٱلْمُقَسِّي عُنُقَهُ، بَغْتَةً يُكَسَّرُ وَلَا شِفَاءَ. | ١ |
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
| إِذَا سَادَ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ فَرِحَ ٱلشَّعْبُ، وَإِذَا تَسَلَّطَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَئِنُّ ٱلشَّعْبُ. | ٢ |
3 He that loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth [his] substance.
| مَنْ يُحِبُّ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ يُفَرِّحُ أَبَاهُ، وَرَفِيقُ ٱلزَّوَانِي يُبَدِّدُ مَالًا. | ٣ |
4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
| اَلْمَلِكُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ يُثَبِّتُ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلْقَابِلُ ٱلْهَدَايَا يُدَمِّرُهَا. | ٤ |
5 A man that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يُطْرِي صَاحِبَهُ يَبْسُطُ شَبَكَةً لِرِجْلَيْهِ. | ٥ |
6 In the transgression of an evil man [there is] a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
| فِي مَعْصِيَةِ رَجُلٍ شِرِّيرٍ شَرَكٌ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَيَتَرَنَّمُ وَيَفْرَحُ. | ٦ |
7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: [but] the wicked regardeth not to know [it].
| ٱلصِّدِّيقُ يَعْرِفُ دَعْوَى ٱلْفُقَرَاءِ، أَمَّا ٱلشِّرِّيرُ فَلَا يَفْهَمُ مَعْرِفَةً. | ٧ |
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise [men] turn away wrath.
| اَلنَّاسُ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ يَفْتِنُونَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، أَمَّا ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ فَيَصْرِفُونَ ٱلْغَضَبَ. | ٨ |
9 [If] a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rageth or laugheth, [there is] no rest.
| رَجُلٌ حَكِيمٌ إِنْ حَاكَمَ رَجُلًا أَحْمَقَ، فَإِنْ غَضِبَ وَإِنْ ضَحِكَ فَلَا رَاحَةَ. | ٩ |
10 The blood-thirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
| أَهْلُ ٱلدِّمَاءِ يُبْغِضُونَ ٱلْكَامِلَ، أَمَّا ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise [man] keepeth it in till afterwards.
| اَلْجَاهِلُ يُظْهِرُ كُلَّ غَيْظِهِ، وَٱلْحَكِيمُ يُسَكِّنُهُ أَخِيرًا. | ١١ |
12 If a ruler hearkeneth to lies, all his servants [are] wicked.
| اَلْحَاكِمُ ٱلْمُصْغِي إِلَى كَلَامِ كَذِبٍ كُلُّ خُدَّامِهِ أَشْرَارٌ. | ١٢ |
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD enlighteneth both their eyes.
| اَلْفَقِيرُ وَٱلْمُرْبِي يَتَلَاقَيَانِ. ٱلرَّبُّ يُنَوِّرُ أَعْيُنَ كِلَيْهِمَا. | ١٣ |
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
| اَلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَاكِمُ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ يُثَبَّتُ كُرْسِيُّهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٤ |
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame.
| اَلْعَصَا وَٱلتَّوْبِيخُ يُعْطِيَانِ حِكْمَةً، وَٱلصَّبِيُّ ٱلْمُطْلَقُ إِلَى هَوَاهُ يُخْجِلُ أُمَّهُ. | ١٥ |
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
| إِذَا سَادَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ كَثُرَتِ ٱلْمَعَاصِي، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ فَيَنْظُرُونَ سُقُوطَهُمْ. | ١٦ |
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yes, he shall give delight to thy soul.
| أَدِّبِ ٱبْنَكَ فَيُرِيحَكَ وَيُعْطِيَ نَفْسَكَ لَذَّاتٍ. | ١٧ |
18 Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.
| بِلَا رُؤْيَا يَجْمَحُ ٱلشَّعْبُ، أَمَّا حَافِظُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ فَطُوبَاهُ. | ١٨ |
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understandeth, he will not answer.
| بِٱلْكَلَامِ لَا يُؤَدَّبُ ٱلْعَبْدُ، لِأَنَّهُ يَفْهَمُ وَلَا يُعْنَى. | ١٩ |
20 Seest thou a man [that is] hasty in his words? [there is] more hope of a fool than of him.
| أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْسَانًا عَجُولًا فِي كَلَامِهِ؟ ٱلرَّجَاءُ بِٱلْجَاهِلِ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّجَاءِ بِهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him at length become [his] son.
| مَنْ فَنَّقَ عَبْدَهُ مِنْ حَدَاثَتِهِ، فَفِي آخِرَتِهِ يَصِيرُ مَنُونًا. | ٢١ |
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْغَضُوبُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْخِصَامَ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلسَّخُوطُ كَثِيرُ ٱلْمَعَاصِي. | ٢٢ |
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
| كِبْرِيَاءُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَضَعُهُ، وَٱلْوَضِيعُ ٱلرُّوحِ يَنَالُ مَجْدًا. | ٢٣ |
24 Whoever is partner with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and discloseth [it] not.
| مَنْ يُقَاسِمْ سَارِقًا يُبْغِضْ نَفْسَهُ، يَسْمَعُ ٱللَّعْنَ وَلَا يُقِرُّ. | ٢٤ |
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but he who putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
| خَشْيَةُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَضَعُ شَرَكًا، وَٱلْمُتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ يُرْفَعُ. | ٢٥ |
26 Many seek the ruler's favor; but [every] man's judgment [cometh] from the LORD.
| كَثِيرُونَ يَطْلُبُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِ، أَمَّا حَقُّ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فَمِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ |
27 An unjust man [is] an abomination to the just: and [he that is] upright in the way [is] abomination to the wicked.
| اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلظَّالِمُ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ، وَٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُ ٱلطَّرِيقِ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. | ٢٧ |
