מִשְׁלֵי 3
| בְּנִי תּוֹרָתִי אַל־תִּשְׁכָּח וּמִצְוֺתַי יִצֹּר לִבֶּֽךָ׃ | 1 |
My son, forget not my teaching; but let thy heart keep my commandments;
| כִּי אֹרֶךְ יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת חַיִּים וְשָׁלוֹם יוֹסִיפוּ לָֽךְ׃ | 2 |
For length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to thee.
| חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת אַֽל־יַעַזְבֻךָ קׇשְׁרֵם עַל־גַּרְגְּרוֹתֶיךָ כׇּתְבֵם עַל־לוּחַ לִבֶּֽךָ׃ | 3 |
Let not kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thy heart;
| וּמְצָא־חֵן וְשֵֽׂכֶל־טוֹב בְּעֵינֵי אֱלֹהִים וְאָדָֽם׃ | 4 |
So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man.
| בְּטַח אֶל־יְהֹוָה בְּכׇל־לִבֶּךָ וְאֶל־בִּינָתְךָ אַל־תִּשָּׁעֵֽן׃ | 5 |
Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.
| בְּכׇל־דְּרָכֶיךָ דָעֵהוּ וְהוּא יְיַשֵּׁר אֹֽרְחֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 6 |
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.
| אַל־תְּהִי חָכָם בְּעֵינֶיךָ יְרָא אֶת־יְהֹוָה וְסוּר מֵרָֽע׃ | 7 |
Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD, and depart from evil;
| רִפְאוּת תְּהִי לְשׇׁרֶּךָ וְשִׁקּוּי לְעַצְמוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 8 |
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
| כַּבֵּד אֶת־יְהֹוָה מֵהוֹנֶךָ וּמֵרֵאשִׁית כׇּל־תְּבוּאָתֶֽךָ׃ | 9 |
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;
| וְיִמָּלְאוּ אֲסָמֶיךָ שָׂבָע וְתִירוֹשׁ יְקָבֶיךָ יִפְרֹֽצוּ׃ | 10 |
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
| מוּסַר יְהֹוָה בְּנִי אַל־תִּמְאָס וְאַל־תָּקֹץ בְּתוֹכַחְתּֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither spurn thou His correction;
| כִּי אֶת ־ אֲשֶׁר יֶאֱהַב יְהֹוָה יוֹכִיחַ וּכְאָב אֶת־בֵּן יִרְצֶֽה׃ | 12 |
For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
| אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מָצָא חׇכְמָה וְאָדָם יָפִיק תְּבוּנָֽה׃ | 13 |
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that obtaineth understanding.
| כִּי טוֹב סַחְרָהּ מִסְּחַר־כָּסֶף וּמֵחָרוּץ תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ׃ | 14 |
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
| יְקָרָה הִיא (מפניים) [מִפְּנִינִים] וְכׇל־חֲפָצֶיךָ לֹא יִֽשְׁווּ־בָֽהּ׃ | 15 |
She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
| אֹרֶךְ יָמִים בִּֽימִינָהּ בִּשְׂמֹאולָהּ עֹשֶׁר וְכָבֽוֹד׃ | 16 |
Length of days is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honour.
| דְּרָכֶיהָ דַרְכֵי־נֹעַם וְֽכׇל־נְתִיבוֹתֶיהָ שָׁלֽוֹם׃ | 17 |
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
| עֵץ־חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ וְֽתֹמְכֶיהָ מְאֻשָּֽׁר׃ | 18 |
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and happy is every one that holdest her fast.
| יְֽהֹוָה בְּחׇכְמָה יָסַד־אָרֶץ כּוֹנֵן שָׁמַיִם בִּתְבוּנָֽה׃ | 19 |
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens.
| בְּדַעְתּוֹ תְּהוֹמוֹת נִבְקָעוּ וּשְׁחָקִים יִרְעֲפוּ־טָֽל׃ | 20 |
By His knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
| בְּנִי אַל־יָלֻזוּ מֵעֵינֶיךָ נְצֹר תֻּשִׁיָּה וּמְזִמָּֽה׃ | 21 |
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion;
| וְיִֽהְיוּ חַיִּים לְנַפְשֶׁךָ וְחֵן לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 22 |
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
| אָז תֵּלֵךְ לָבֶטַח דַּרְכֶּךָ וְרַגְלְךָ לֹא תִגּֽוֹף׃ | 23 |
Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, and thou shalt not dash thy foot.
| אִם־תִּשְׁכַּב לֹֽא־תִפְחָד וְשָׁכַבְתָּ וְֽעָרְבָה שְׁנָתֶֽךָ׃ | 24 |
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
| אַל־תִּירָא מִפַּחַד פִּתְאֹם וּמִשֹּׁאַת רְשָׁעִים כִּי תָבֹֽא׃ | 25 |
Be not afraid of sudden terror, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh;
| כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה יִֽהְיֶה בְכִסְלֶךָ וְשָׁמַר רַגְלְךָ מִלָּֽכֶד׃ | 26 |
For the LORD will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being caught.
| אַל־תִּמְנַע־טוֹב מִבְּעָלָיו בִּֽהְיוֹת לְאֵל (ידיך) [יָדְךָ] לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃ | 27 |
Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it.
| אַל־תֹּאמַר (לרעיך) [לְרֵעֲךָ ׀] לֵךְ וָשׁוּב וּמָחָר אֶתֵּן וְיֵשׁ אִתָּֽךְ׃ | 28 |
Say not unto thy neighbour: 'Go, and come again, and to-morrow I will give'; when thou hast it by thee.
| אַל־תַּחֲרֹשׁ עַל־רֵעֲךָ רָעָה וְהֽוּא־יוֹשֵׁב לָבֶטַח אִתָּֽךְ׃ | 29 |
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
| אַל־[תָּרִיב] (תרוב) עִם־אָדָם חִנָּם אִם־לֹא גְמָלְךָ רָעָֽה׃ | 30 |
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
| אַל־תְּקַנֵּא בְּאִישׁ חָמָס וְאַל־תִּבְחַר בְּכׇל־דְּרָכָֽיו׃ | 31 |
Envy thou not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.
| כִּי תוֹעֲבַת יְהֹוָה נָלוֹז וְֽאֶת־יְשָׁרִים סוֹדֽוֹ׃ | 32 |
For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; but His counsel is with the upright.
| מְאֵרַת יְהֹוָה בְּבֵית רָשָׁע וּנְוֵה צַדִּיקִים יְבָרֵֽךְ׃ | 33 |
The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked; but He blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
| אִם־לַלֵּצִים הֽוּא־יָלִיץ (ולעניים) [וְלַעֲנָוִים] יִתֶּן־חֵֽן׃ | 34 |
If it concerneth the scorners, He scorneth them, but unto the humble He giveth grace.
| כָּבוֹד חֲכָמִים יִנְחָלוּ וּכְסִילִים מֵרִים קָלֽוֹן׃ | 35 |
The wise shall inherit honour; but as for the fools, they carry away shame.
