< أَمْثَالٌ 12 >

مَنْ يُحِبُّ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَمَنْ يُبْغِضُ ٱلتَّوْبِيخَ فَهُوَ بَلِيدٌ. ١ 1
Whoever loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is stupid.
ٱلصَّالِحُ يَنَالُ رِضًى مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَمَّا رَجُلُ ٱلْمَكَايِدِ فَيَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِ. ٢ 2
A good man obtaineth favour from the LORD: but a man of wicked devices he will condemn.
لَا يُثَبَّتُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ بِٱلشَّرِّ، أَمَّا أَصْلُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ فَلَا يَتَقَلْقَلُ. ٣ 3
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
اَلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلْفَاضِلَةُ تَاجٌ لِبَعْلِهَا، أَمَّا ٱلْمُخْزِيَةُ فَكَنَخْرٍ فِي عِظَامِهِ. ٤ 4
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
أَفْكَارُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ عَدْلٌ. تَدَابِيرُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ غِشٌّ. ٥ 5
The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
كَلَامُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كُمُونٌ لِلدَّمِ، أَمَّا فَمُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ فَيُنَجِّيهِمْ. ٦ 6
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
تَنْقَلِبُ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ وَلَا يَكُونُونَ، أَمَّا بَيْتُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ فَيَثْبُتُ. ٧ 7
The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
بِحَسَبِ فِطْنَتِهِ يُحْمَدُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، أَمَّا ٱلْمُلْتَوِي ٱلْقَلْبِ فَيَكُونُ لِلْهَوَانِ. ٨ 8
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
اَلْحَقِيرُ وَلَهُ عَبْدٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَمَجِّدِ وَيُعْوِزُهُ ٱلْخُبْزُ. ٩ 9
He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and is destitute of bread.
ٱلصِّدِّيقُ يُرَاعِي نَفْسَ بَهِيمَتِهِ، أَمَّا مَرَاحِمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَقَاسِيَةٌ. ١٠ 10
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
مَنْ يَشْتَغِلْ بِحَقْلِهِ يَشْبَعْ خُبْزًا، أَمَّا تَابِعُ ٱلْبَطَّالِينَ فَهُوَ عَدِيمُ ٱلْفَهْمِ. ١١ 11
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
اِشْتَهَى ٱلشِّرِّيرُ صَيْدَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَأَصْلُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ يُجْدِي. ١٢ 12
The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
فِي مَعْصِيَةِ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ شَرَكُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلضِّيقِ. ١٣ 13
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَشْبَعُ خَيْرًا مِنْ ثَمَرِ فَمِهِ، وَمُكَافَأَةُ يَدَيِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تُرَدُّ لَهُ. ١٤ 14
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered to him.
طَرِيقُ ٱلْجَاهِلِ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، أَمَّا سَامِعُ ٱلْمَشُورَةِ فَهُوَ حَكِيمٌ. ١٥ 15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth to counsel is wise.
غَضَبُ ٱلْجَاهِلِ يُعْرَفُ فِي يَوْمِهِ، أَمَّا سَاتِرُ ٱلْهَوَانِ فَهُوَ ذَكِيٌّ. ١٦ 16
A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
مَنْ يَتَفَوَّهْ بِٱلْحَقِّ يُظْهِرِ ٱلْعَدْلَ، وَٱلشَّاهِدُ ٱلْكَاذِبُ يُظْهِرُ غِشًّا. ١٧ 17
He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَهْذُرُ مِثْلَ طَعْنِ ٱلسَّيْفِ، أَمَّا لِسَانُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ فَشِفَاءٌ. ١٨ 18
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
شَفَةُ ٱلصِّدْقِ تَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلِسَانُ ٱلْكَذِبِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَى طَرْفَةِ ٱلْعَيْنِ. ١٩ 19
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
اَلْغِشُّ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُفَكِّرُونَ فِي ٱلشَّرِّ، أَمَّا ٱلْمُشِيرُونَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ فَلَهُمْ فَرَحٌ. ٢٠ 20
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
لَا يُصِيبُ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ شَرٌّ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَيَمْتَلِئُونَ سُوءًا. ٢١ 21
There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
كَرَاهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ شَفَتَا كَذِبٍ، أَمَّا ٱلْعَامِلُونَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ فَرِضَاهُ. ٢٢ 22
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلذَّكِيُّ يَسْتُرُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَقَلْبُ ٱلْجَاهِلِ يُنَادِي بِٱلْحَمَقِ. ٢٣ 23
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
يَدُ ٱلْمُجْتَهِدِينَ تَسُودُ، أَمَّا ٱلرَّخْوَةُ فَتَكُونُ تَحْتَ ٱلْجِزْيَةِ. ٢٤ 24
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be put to forced labour.
ٱلْغَمُّ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلرَّجُلِ يُحْنِيهِ، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلطَّيِّبَةُ تُفَرِّحُهُ. ٢٥ 25
Heaviness in the heart of man weigheth it down: but a good word maketh it glad.
ٱلصِّدِّيقُ يَهْدِي صَاحِبَهُ، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتُضِلُّهُمْ. ٢٦ 26
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
ٱلرَّخَاوَةُ لَا تَمْسِكُ صَيْدًا، أَمَّا ثَرْوَةُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلْكَرِيمَةُ فَهِيَ الِٱجْتِهَادُ. ٢٧ 27
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
فِي سَبِيلِ ٱلْبِرِّ حَيَاةٌ، وَفِي طَرِيقِ مَسْلِكِهِ لَا مَوْتَ. ٢٨ 28
In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway of it there is no death.
