< أَمْثَالٌ 14 >

حِكْمَةُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ تَبْنِي بَيْتَهَا، وَٱلْحَمَاقَةُ تَهْدِمُهُ بِيَدِهَا. ١ 1
A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish destroyeth it with her owne handes.
اَلسَّالِكُ بِٱسْتِقَامَتِهِ يَتَّقِي ٱلرَّبَّ، وَٱلْمُعَوِّجُ طُرُقَهُ يَحْتَقِرُهُ. ٢ 2
He that walketh in his righteousnes, feareth the Lord: but he that is lewde in his wayes, despiseth him.
فِي فَمِ ٱلْجَاهِلِ قَضِيبٌ لِكِبْرِيَائِهِ، أَمَّا شِفَاهُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ فَتَحْفَظُهُمْ. ٣ 3
In the mouth of the foolish is the rod of pride: but the lippes of the wise preserue them.
حَيْثُ لَا بَقَرٌ فَٱلْمَعْلَفُ فَارِغٌ، وَكَثْرَةُ ٱلْغَلَّةِ بِقُوَّةِ ٱلثَّوْرِ. ٤ 4
Where none oxen are, there the cribbe is emptie: but much increase cometh by the strength of the oxe.
اَلشَّاهِدُ ٱلْأَمِينُ لَنْ يَكْذِبَ، وَٱلشَّاهِدُ ٱلزُّورُ يَتَفَوَّهُ بِٱلْأَكَاذِيبِ. ٥ 5
A faithfull witnes will not lye: but a false record will speake lyes.
اَلْمُسْتَهْزِئُ يَطْلُبُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَلَا يَجِدُهَا، وَٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ هَيِّنَةٌ لِلْفَهِيمِ. ٦ 6
A scorner seeketh wisdome, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easie to him that will vnderstande.
اِذْهَبْ مِنْ قُدَّامِ رَجُلٍ جَاهِلٍ إِذْ لَا تَشْعُرُ بِشَفَتَيْ مَعْرِفَةٍ. ٧ 7
Depart from the foolish man, when thou perceiuest not in him the lippes of knowledge.
حِكْمَةُ ٱلذَّكِيِّ فَهْمُ طَرِيقِهِ، وَغَبَاوَةُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ غِشٌّ. ٨ 8
The wisdome of ye prudent is to vnderstand his way: but the foolishnes of the fooles is deceite.
اَلْجُهَّالُ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِٱلْإِثْمِ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ رِضًى. ٩ 9
The foole maketh a mocke of sinne: but among the righteous there is fauour.
اَلْقَلْبُ يَعْرِفُ مَرَارَةَ نَفْسِهِ، وَبِفَرَحِهِ لَا يُشَارِكُهُ غَرِيبٌ. ١٠ 10
The heart knoweth the bitternes of his soule, and the stranger shall not medle with his ioy.
بَيْتُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يُخْرَبُ، وَخَيْمَةُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ تُزْهِرُ. ١١ 11
The house of the wicked shalbe destroyed: but the tabernacle of the righteous shall florish.
تُوجَدُ طَرِيقٌ تَظْهَرُ لِلْإِنْسَانِ مُسْتَقِيمَةً، وَعَاقِبَتُهَا طُرُقُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. ١٢ 12
There is a way that seemeth right to a man: but the issues thereof are the wayes of death.
أَيْضًا فِي ٱلضِّحِكِ يَكْتَئِبُ ٱلْقَلْبُ، وَعَاقِبَةُ ٱلْفَرَحِ حُزْنٌ. ١٣ 13
Euen in laughing the heart is sorowful, and the ende of that mirth is heauinesse.
اَلْمُرْتَدُّ فِي ٱلْقَلْبِ يَشْبَعُ مِنْ طُرُقِهِ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلصَّالِحُ مِمَّا عِنْدَهُ. ١٤ 14
The heart that declineth, shall be saciate with his owne wayes: but a good man shall depart from him.
اَلْغَبِيُّ يُصَدِّقُ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ، وَٱلذَّكِيُّ يَنْتَبِهُ إِلَى خَطَوَاتِهِ. ١٥ 15
The foolish will beleeue euery thing: but the prudent will consider his steppes.
اَلْحَكِيمُ يَخْشَى وَيَحِيدُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَٱلْجَاهِلُ يَتَصَلَّفُ وَيَثِقُ. ١٦ 16
A wise man feareth, and departeth from euill: but a foole rageth, and is carelesse.
اَلسَّرِيعُ ٱلْغَضَبِ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْحَمَقِ، وَذُو ٱلْمَكَايِدِ يُشْنَأُ. ١٧ 17
He that is hastie to anger, committeth follie, and a busie body is hated.
اَلْأَغْبِيَاءُ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْحَمَاقَةَ، وَٱلْأَذْكِيَاءُ يُتَوَّجُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ. ١٨ 18
The foolish do inherite follie: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
ٱلْأَشْرَارُ يَنْحَنُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ، وَٱلْأَثَمَةُ لَدَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ. ١٩ 19
The euill shall bowe before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
أَيْضًا مِنْ قَرِيبِهِ يُبْغَضُ ٱلْفَقِيرُ، وَمُحِبُّو ٱلْغَنِيِّ كَثِيرُونَ. ٢٠ 20
The poore is hated euen of his own neighbour: but the friendes of the rich are many.
مَنْ يَحْتَقِرُ قَرِيبَهُ يُخْطِئُ، وَمَنْ يَرْحَمُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ فَطُوبَى لَهُ. ٢١ 21
The sinner despiseth his neighbour: but he that hath mercie on the poore, is blessed.
أَمَا يَضِلُّ مُخْتَرِعُو ٱلشَّرِّ؟ أَمَّا ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَٱلْحَقُّ فَيَهْدِيَانِ مُخْتَرِعِي ٱلْخَيْرِ. ٢٢ 22
Doe not they erre that imagine euill? but to them that thinke on good things, shalbe mercie and trueth.
فِي كُلِّ تَعَبٍ مَنْفَعَةٌ، وَكَلَامُ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَى ٱلْفَقْرِ. ٢٣ 23
In all labour there is abundance: but the talke of the lippes bringeth onely want.
تَاجُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ غِنَاهُمْ. تَقَدُّمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ حَمَاقَةٌ. ٢٤ 24
The crowne of the wise is their riches, and the follie of fooles is foolishnes.
اَلشَّاهِدُ ٱلْأَمِينُ مُنَجِّي ٱلنُّفُوسِ، وَمَنْ يَتَفَوَّهُ بِٱلْأَكَاذِيبِ فَغِشٌّ. ٢٥ 25
A faithfull witnes deliuereth soules: but a deceiuer speaketh lyes.
فِي مَخَافَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ ثِقَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، وَيَكُونُ لِبَنِيهِ مَلْجَأٌ. ٢٦ 26
In the feare of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall haue hope.
مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَنْبُوعُ حَيَاةٍ لِلْحَيَدَانِ عَنْ أَشْرَاكِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. ٢٧ 27
The feare of the Lord is as a welspring of life, to auoyde the snares of death.
فِي كَثْرَةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ زِينَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَفِي عَدَمِ ٱلْقَوْمِ هَلَاكُ ٱلْأَمِيرِ. ٢٨ 28
In the multitude of the people is the honour of a King, and for the want of people commeth the destruction of the Prince.
بَطِيءُ ٱلْغَضَبِ كَثِيرُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، وَقَصِيرُ ٱلرُّوحِ مُعَلِّي ٱلْحَمَقِ. ٢٩ 29
He that is slowe to wrath, is of great wisdome: but he that is of an hastie minde, exalteth follie.
حَيَاةُ ٱلْجَسَدِ هُدُوءُ ٱلْقَلْبِ، وَنَخْرُ ٱلْعِظَامِ ٱلْحَسَدُ. ٣٠ 30
A sounde heart is the life of the flesh: but enuie is the rotting of the bones.
ظَالِمُ ٱلْفَقِيرِ يُعَيِّرُ خَالِقَهُ، وَيُمَجِّدُهُ رَاحِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ. ٣١ 31
He that oppresseth the poore, reprooueth him that made him: but hee honoureth him, that hath mercie on the poore.
اَلشِّرِّيرُ يُطْرَدُ بِشَرِّهِ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَوَاثِقٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ. ٣٢ 32
The wicked shall be cast away for his malice: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْفَهِيمِ تَسْتَقِرُّ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ، وَمَا فِي دَاخِلِ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يُعْرَفُ. ٣٣ 33
Wisedome resteth in the heart of him that hath vnderstanding, and is knowen in the mids of fooles.
اَلْبِرُّ يَرْفَعُ شَأْنَ ٱلْأُمَّةِ، وَعَارُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ. ٣٤ 34
Iustice exalteth a nation, but sinne is a shame to the people.
رِضْوَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى ٱلْعَبْدِ ٱلْفَطِنِ، وَسَخَطُهُ يَكُونُ عَلَى ٱلْمُخْزِي. ٣٥ 35
The pleasure of a King is in a wise seruant: but his wrath shalbe toward him that is lewde.
