Proverbs 13
1 A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction; but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
| الابْنُ الْحَكِيمُ يَقْبَلُ تَأْدِيبَ أَبِيهِ، أَمَّا الْمُسْتَهْزِئُ فَلا يَسْتَمِعُ لِلانْتِهَارِ. | ١ |
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; but the soul of the treacherous, violence.
| مِنْ ثَمَرِ أَقْوَالِ فَمِهِ يَأْكُلُ الإِنْسَانُ خَيْراً، وَشَهْوَةُ الْغَادِرِينَ ارْتِكَابُ الظُّلْمِ. | ٢ |
3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips.
| مَنْ ضَبَطَ لِسَانَهُ صَانَ حَيَاتَهُ، وَمَنْ فَغَرَ فَاهُ مُتَهَوِّراً بِكَلامِهِ، فَمَصِيرُهُ الدَّمَارُ. | ٣ |
4 A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
| نَفْسُ الْكَسُولِ تَشْتَهِي كَثِيراً وَلا تَحْصُلُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ، أَمَّا نَفْسُ الْمُجْتَهِدِ فَتَغْنَى. | ٤ |
5 A righteous [man] hateth lying; but the wicked maketh himself odious and cometh to shame.
| يَمْقُتُ الصِّدِّيقُ الْكَذِبَ، أَمَّا الشِّرِّيرُ فَبِكَثْرَةِ كَذِبِهِ يُخْزِي وَيُخْجِلُ. | ٥ |
6 Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
| الْبِرُّ يَحْفَظُ صَاحِبَ السِّيرَةِ الْكَامِلَةِ، وَيُطَوِّحُ الشَّرُّ بِالْخَاطِئِ. | ٦ |
7 There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth.
| رُبَّ فَقِيرٍ مُعْدَمٍ يَتَظَاهَرُ بِالْغِنَى، وَكَثِيرِ الْغِنَى يَتَظَاهَرُ بِالْفَقْرِ. | ٧ |
8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches; but the indigent heareth not rebuke.
| يَفْتَدِي الْمَرْءُ نَفْسَهُ بِغِنَاهُ، أَمَّا الْفَقِيرُ فَلا يُبَالِي بِالتَّهْدِيدِ. | ٨ |
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth; but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
| نُورُ الأَبْرَارِ يَتَلأْلأُ بِالْبَهْجَةِ، وَسِرَاجُ الأَشْرَارِ يَنْطَفِئُ وَيُظْلِمُ. | ٩ |
10 By pride there only cometh contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.
| تُوَلِّدُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ الْخُصُومَةَ، أَمَّا الْمُشَاوِرُونَ فَذَوُو حِكْمَةٍ. | ١٠ |
11 Wealth [gotten] by vanity diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increase [it].
| مَالُ الظُّلْمِ يَتَبَدَّدُ سَرِيعاً، وَالْمَالُ الْمُدَّخَرُ مِنْ تَعَبِ الْيَدِ يَزْدَادُ. | ١١ |
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but the desire [that] cometh to pass is a tree of life.
| الأَمَلُ الْمُمَاطَلُ يُسْقِمُ الْقَلْبَ، وَالرَّغْبَةُ الْمُتَحَقِّقَةُ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ. | ١٢ |
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be held by it; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
| مَنِ ازْدَرَى بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ يَجْلِبُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الْخَرَابَ، وَمَنْ خَشِيَ وَصِيَّةَ اللهِ يَلْقَى الثَّوَابَ. | ١٣ |
14 The teaching of the wise [man] is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.
| شَرِيعَةُ الْحَكِيمِ تُنْعِشُ كَيَنْبُوعِ حَيَاةٍ، وَالَّذِي يَقْبَلُهَا يَتَفَادَى أَشْرَاكَ الْمَوْتِ. | ١٤ |
15 Good understanding procureth favour; but the way of the treacherous is hard.
| حُسْنُ التَّعَقُّلِ يُحْرِزُ الرِّضَى، أَمَّا سَبِيلُ الْغَادِرِينَ فَلا يَدُومُ. | ١٥ |
16 Every prudent [man] acteth with knowledge; but the foolish layeth open [his] folly.
| كُلُّ عَاقِلٍ يَعْمَلُ بِالْمَعْرِفَةِ أَمَّا الأَحْمَقُ فَيَعْرِضُ حُمْقَهُ. | ١٦ |
17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
| الرَّسُولُ الشِّرِّيرُ يُوْقِعُ النَّاسَ فِي الأَزْمَاتِ، أَمَّا السَّفِيرُ الأَمِينُ فَيُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ الْمُتَخَاصِمِينَ. | ١٧ |
18 Poverty and shame shall be [to] him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
| مَنْ يَرْفُضُ التَّأْدِيبَ يَحُلُّ بِهِ الْفَقْرُ وَالذُّلُّ، وَمَنْ يَتَجَاوَبُ مَعَ التَّوْبِيخِ يُكْرَمُ. | ١٨ |
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil.
| الرَّغْبَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ الَّتِي تَتَحَقَّقُ تَلُذُّ النَّفْسَ، وَتَجَنُّبُ الشَّرِّ رِجْسٌ لَدَى الْحَمْقَى. | ١٩ |
20 He that walketh with wise [men] becometh wise; but a companion of the foolish will be depraved.
| مَنْ يُعَاشِرِ الْحُكَمَاءَ يُصْبِحْ حَكِيماً، وَرَفِيقُ الْحَمْقَى يَنَالُهُ الأَذَى. | ٢٠ |
21 Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
| تُلاحِقُ الْبَلِيَّةُ الْخُطَاةَ، وَيُثَابُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ خَيْراً. | ٢١ |
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; but the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous [man].
| ثَرْوَةُ الصَّالِحِ تَدُومُ حَتَّى يَرِثَهَا الأَحْفَادُ، أَمَّا مِيرَاثُ الْخَاطِئِ فَمُدَّخَرٌ لِلصِّدِّيقِ. | ٢٢ |
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor; but there is that is lost for want of judgment.
| قَدْ يُنْتِجُ حَقْلُ الْفَقِيرِ الْمَحْرُوثُ وَفْرَةً مِنَ الْغِلالِ، إِنَّمَا يُتْلِفُهَا سُوءُ التَّبَصُّرِ. | ٢٣ |
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
| مَنْ كَفَّ عَنْ تَأْدِيبِ ابْنِهِ يَمْقُتُهُ، وَمَنْ يُحِبُّ ابْنَهُ يَسْعَى إِلَى تَأْدِيبِهِ. | ٢٤ |
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; but the belly of the wicked shall want.
| يَأْكُلُ الصِّدِّيقُ حَتَّى الشِّبَعِ، أَمَّا بَطْنُ الشِّرِّيرِ فَتَظَلُّ خَاوِيَةً. | ٢٥ |
