< أَمْثَالٌ 15 >

اَلْجَوَابُ ٱللَّيِّنُ يَصْرِفُ ٱلْغَضَبَ، وَٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلْمُوجِعُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلسَّخَطَ. ١ 1
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
لِسَانُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ يُحَسِّنُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَفَمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يُنْبِعُ حَمَاقَةً. ٢ 2
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ مُرَاقِبَتَانِ ٱلطَّالِحِينَ وَٱلصَّالِحِينَ. ٣ 3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
هُدُوءُ ٱللِّسَانِ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ، وَٱعْوِجَاجُهُ سَحْقٌ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. ٤ 4
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness in it is a breach in the spirit.
اَلْأَحْمَقُ يَسْتَهِينُ بِتَأْدِيبِ أَبِيهِ، أَمَّا مُرَاعِي ٱلتَّوْبِيخِ فَيَذْكَى. ٥ 5
A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
فِي بَيْتِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ كَنْزٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَفِي دَخْلِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كَدَرٌ. ٦ 6
In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
شِفَاهُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ تَذُرُّ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا قَلْبُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ فَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ. ٧ 7
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
ذَبِيحَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَصَلَاةُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَرْضَاتُهُ. ٨ 8
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَرِيقُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَتَابِعُ ٱلْبِرِّ يُحِبُّهُ. ٩ 9
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
تَأْدِيبُ شَرٍّ لِتَارِكِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. مُبْغِضُ ٱلتَّوْبِيخِ يَمُوتُ. ١٠ 10
Correction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
اَلْهَاوِيَةُ وَٱلْهَلَاكُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ قُلُوبُ بَنِي آدَمَ! (Sheol h7585) ١١ 11
Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
اَلْمُسْتَهْزِئُ لَا يُحِبُّ مُوَبِّخَهُ. إِلَى ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ لَا يَذْهَبُ. ١٢ 12
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go to the wise.
اَلْقَلْبُ ٱلْفَرْحَانُ يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوَجْهَ طَلِقًا، وَبِحُزْنِ ٱلْقَلْبِ تَنْسَحِقُ ٱلرُّوحُ. ١٣ 13
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
قَلْبُ ٱلْفَهِيمِ يَطْلُبُ مَعْرِفَةً، وَفَمُ ٱلْجُهَّالِ يَرْعَى حَمَاقَةً. ١٤ 14
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
كُلُّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْحَزِينِ شَقِيَّةٌ، أَمَّا طَيِّبُ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَوَلِيمَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ. ١٥ 15
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
اَلْقَلِيلُ مَعَ مَخَافَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَنْزٍ عَظِيمٍ مَعَ هَمٍّ. ١٦ 16
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it.
أَكْلَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْبُقُولِ حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَوْرٍ مَعْلُوفٍ وَمَعَهُ بُغْضَةٌ. ١٧ 17
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.
اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْغَضُوبُ يُهَيِّجُ ٱلْخُصُومَةَ، وَبَطِيءُ ٱلْغَضَبِ يُسَكِّنُ ٱلْخِصَامَ. ١٨ 18
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
طَرِيقُ ٱلْكَسْلَانِ كَسِيَاجٍ مِنْ شَوْكٍ، وَطَرِيقُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَنْهَجٌ. ١٩ 19
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ يَسُرُّ أَبَاهُ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ يَحْتَقِرُ أُمَّهُ. ٢٠ 20
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
ٱلْحَمَاقَةُ فَرَحٌ لِنَاقِصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ، أَمَّا ذُو ٱلْفَهْمِ فَيُقَوِّمُ سُلُوكَهُ. ٢١ 21
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
مَقَاصِدُ بِغَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ تَبْطُلُ، وَبِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْمُشِيرِينَ تَقُومُ. ٢٢ 22
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
لِلْإِنْسَانِ فَرَحٌ بِجَوَابِ فَمِهِ، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ فِي وَقْتِهَا مَا أَحْسَنَهَا! ٢٣ 23
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
طَرِيقُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ لِلْفَطِنِ إِلَى فَوْقُ، لِلْحَيَدَانِ عَنِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ مِنْ تَحْتُ. (Sheol h7585) ٢٤ 24
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. (Sheol h7585)
اَلرَّبُّ يَقْلَعُ بَيْتَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، وَيُوَطِّدُ تُخْمَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ. ٢٥ 25
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
مَكْرَهَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَفْكَارُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَلِلْأَطْهَارِ كَلَامٌ حَسَنٌ. ٢٦ 26
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
اَلْمُولَعُ بِٱلْكَسْبِ يُكَدِّرُ بَيْتَهُ، وَٱلْكَارِهُ ٱلْهَدَايَا يَعِيشُ. ٢٧ 27
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth bribes shall live.
قَلْبُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يَتَفَكَّرُ بِٱلْجَوَابِ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يُنْبِعُ شُرُورًا. ٢٨ 28
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
اَلرَّبُّ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَيَسْمَعُ صَلَاةَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ. ٢٩ 29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
نُورُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ يُفَرِّحُ ٱلْقَلْبَ. اَلْخَبَرُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يُسَمِّنُ ٱلْعِظَامَ. ٣٠ 30
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
اَلْأُذُنُ ٱلسَّامِعَةُ تَوْبِيخَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ تَسْتَقِرُّ بَيْنَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ. ٣١ 31
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
مَنْ يَرْفُضُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ يُرْذِلُ نَفْسَهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْمَعُ لِلتَّوْبِيخِ يَقْتَنِي فَهْمًا. ٣٢ 32
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدَبُ حِكْمَةٍ، وَقَبْلَ ٱلْكَرَامَةِ ٱلتَّوَاضُعُ. ٣٣ 33
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
