< Proverbs 10 >

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
أَمْثَالُ سُلَيْمَانَ: اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ يَسُرُّ أَبَاهُ، وَٱلِٱبْنُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ حُزْنُ أُمِّهِ.١
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
كُنُوزُ ٱلشَّرِّ لَا تَنْفَعُ، أَمَّا ٱلْبِرُّ فَيُنَجِّي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ.٢
3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
اَلرَّبُّ لَا يُجِيعُ نَفْسَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يَدْفَعُ هَوَى ٱلْأَشْرَارِ.٣
4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
اَلْعَامِلُ بِيَدٍ رَخْوَةٍ يَفْتَقِرُ، أَمَّا يَدُ ٱلْمُجْتَهِدِينَ فَتُغْنِي.٤
5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
مَنْ يَجْمَعُ فِي ٱلصَّيْفِ فَهُوَ ٱبْنٌ عَاقِلٌ، وَمَنْ يَنَامُ فِي ٱلْحَصَادِ فَهُوَ ٱبْنٌ مُخْزٍ.٥
6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
بَرَكَاتٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، أَمَّا فَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَغْشَاهُ ظُلْمٌ.٦
7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall perish.
ذِكْرُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ لِلْبَرَكَةِ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْخَرُ.٧
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
حَكِيمُ ٱلْقَلْبِ يَقْبَلُ ٱلْوَصَايَا، وَغَبِيُّ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ يُصْرَعُ.٨
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
مَنْ يَسْلُكُ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ يَسْلُكُ بِٱلْأَمَانِ، وَمَنْ يُعَوِّجُ طُرُقَهُ يُعَرَّفُ.٩
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
مَنْ يَغْمِزُ بِٱلْعَيْنِ يُسَبِّبُ حُزْنًا، وَٱلْغَبِيُّ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ يُصْرَعُ.١٠
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
فَمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يَنْبُوعُ حَيَاةٍ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَغْشَاهُ ظُلْمٌ.١١
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
اَلْبُغْضَةُ تُهَيِّجُ خُصُومَاتٍ، وَٱلْمَحَبَّةُ تَسْتُرُ كُلَّ ٱلذُّنُوبِ.١٢
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
فِي شَفَتَيِ ٱلْعَاقِلِ تُوجَدُ حِكْمَةٌ، وَٱلْعَصَا لِظَهْرِ ٱلنَّاقِصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ.١٣
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
اَلْحُكَمَاءُ يَذْخَرُونَ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا فَمُ ٱلْغَبِيِّ فَهَلَاكٌ قَرِيبٌ.١٤
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
ثَرْوَةُ ٱلْغَنِيِّ مَدِينَتُهُ ٱلْحَصِينَةُ. هَلَاكُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ فَقْرُهُمْ.١٥
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
عَمَلُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ لِلْحَيَاةِ. رِبْحُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ.١٦
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
حَافِظُ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ هُوَ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَرَافِضُ ٱلتَّأْدِيبِ ضَالٌّ.١٧
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
مَنْ يُخْفِي ٱلْبُغْضَةَ فَشَفَتَاهُ كَاذِبَتَانِ، وَمُشِيعُ ٱلْمَذَمَّةِ هُوَ جَاهِلٌ.١٨
19 In the multitude of words there lacketh not sin: but he that holdeth his lips is wise.
كَثْرَةُ ٱلْكَلَامِ لَا تَخْلُو مِنْ مَعْصِيَةٍ، أَمَّا ٱلضَّابِطُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَعَاقِلٌ.١٩
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
لِسَانُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ فِضَّةٌ مُخْتَارَةٌ. قَلْبُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ كَشَيْءٍ زَهِيدٍ.٢٠
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for lack of wisdom.
شَفَتَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ تَهْدِيَانِ كَثِيرِينَ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَغْبِيَاءُ فَيَمُوتُونَ مِنْ نَقْصِ ٱلْفَهْمِ.٢١
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
بَرَكَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ تُغْنِي، وَلَا يَزِيدُ مَعَهَا تَعَبًا.٢٢
23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
فِعْلُ ٱلرَّذِيلَةِ عِنْدَ ٱلْجَاهِلِ كَٱلضِّحْكِ، أَمَّا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ فَلِذِي فَهْمٍ.٢٣
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
خَوْفُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ هُوَ يَأْتِيهِ، وَشَهْوَةُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ تُمْنَحُ.٢٤
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
كَعُبُورِ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ فَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَأَسَاسٌ مُؤَبَّدٌ.٢٥
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
كَٱلْخَلِّ لِلْأَسْنَانِ، وَكَالدُّخَانِ لِلْعَيْنَيْنِ، كَذَلِكَ ٱلْكَسْلَانُ لِلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُوهُ.٢٦
27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَزِيدُ ٱلْأَيَّامَ، أَمَّا سِنُو ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتُقْصَرُ.٢٧
28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
مُنْتَظَرُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ مُفَرِّحٌ، أَمَّا رَجَاءُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَبِيدُ.٢٨
29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
حِصْنٌ لِلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ طَرِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لِفَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ.٢٩
30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
اَلصِّدِّيقُ لَنْ يُزَحْزَحَ أَبَدًا، وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَنْ يَسْكُنُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ.٣٠
31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the perverse tongue shall be cut out.
فَمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يُنْبِتُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ، أَمَّا لِسَانُ ٱلْأَكَاذِيبِ فَيُقْطَعُ.٣١
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh perverseness.
شَفَتَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ تَعْرِفَانِ ٱلْمَرْضِيَّ، وَفَمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ أَكَاذِيبُ.٣٢
