Proverbs 31

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The sayings of Lemuel king of Massa, taught him by his mother:	1 كلام لموئيل ملك مسّا. علّمته اياه امه.
2 What, my son! What, son of my womb! What, son of my vows!	2 ماذا يا ابني ثم ماذا يا ابن رحمي ثم ماذا يا ابن نذوري ـــ
3 Do not expend your energy on women nor your wealth on those who ruin kings.	3 لا تعطي حيلك للنساء ولا طرقك لمهلكات الملوك.
4 Not for kings, O Lemuel, not for kings the drinking of wine, not for princes the love of liquor,	4 ليس للملوك يا لموئيل ليس للملوك ان يشربوا خمرا ولا للعظماء المسكر.
5 for fear that in liquor they forget what they have decreed and pervert the course of justice against allthe poor.	5 لئلا يشربوا وينسوا المفروض ويغيّروا حجة كل بني المذلة.
6 Procure strong drink for someone about to die, wine for him whose heart is heavy:	6 اعطوا مسكرا لهالك وخمرا لمرّي النفس.
7 let him drink and forget his misfortune, and remember his misery no more.	7 يشرب وينسى فقره ولا يذكر تعبه بعد
8 Make your views heard, on behalf of the dumb, on behalf of al the unwanted;	8 افتح فمك لاجل الاخرس في دعوى كل يتيم.
9 make your views heard, pronounce an upright verdict, defend the cause of the poor and the wretched.	9 افتح فمك. اقض بالعدل وحام عن الفقير والمسكين
10 The truly capable woman -- who can find her? She is far beyond the price of pearls.	10 امرأة فاضلة من يجدها لان ثمنها يفوق اللآلئ.
11 Her husband's heart has confidence in her, from her he wil derive no little profit.	11 بها يثق قلب زوجها فلا يحتاج الى غنيمة.
12 Advantage and not hurt she brings him al the days of her life.	12 تصنع له خيرا لا شرا كل ايام حياتها.
13 She selects wool and flax, she does her work with eager hands.	13 تطلب صوفا وكتانا وتشتغل بيدين راضيتين.
14 She is like those merchant vessels, bringing her food from far away.	14 هي كسفن التاجر. تجلب طعامها من بعيد.
15 She gets up while it is stil dark giving her household their food, giving orders to her serving girls.	15 وتقوم اذ الليل بعد وتعطي اكلا لاهل بيتها وفريضة لفتياتها.
16 She sets her mind on a field, then she buys it; with what her hands have earned she plants avineyard.	16 تتأمل حقلا فتأخذه وبثمر يديها تغرس كرما.
17 She puts her back into her work and shows how strong her arms can be.	17 تنطّق حقويها بالقوة وتشدد ذراعيها.
18 She knows that her affairs are going wel ; her lamp does not go out at night.	18 تشعر ان تجارتها جيدة. سراجها لا ينطفئ في الليل.
19 She sets her hands to the distaff, her fingers grasp the spindle.	19 تمد يديها الى المغزل وتمسك كفّاها بالفلكة.
20 She holds out her hands to the poor, she opens her arms to the needy.	20 تبسط كفيها للفقير وتمد يديها الى المسكين.
21 Snow may come, she has no fears for her household, with al her servants warmly clothed.	21 لا تخشى على بيتها من الثلج لان كل اهل بيتها لابسون حللا.
22 She makes her own quilts, she is dressed in fine linen and purple.	22 تعمل لنفسها موشيات. لبسها بوص وارجوان.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gates, taking his seat among the elders of the land.	23 زوجها معروف في الابواب حين يجلس بين مشايخ الارض.
24 She weaves materials and sel s them, she supplies the merchant with sashes.	24 تصنع قمصانا وتبيعها وتعرض مناطق على الكنعاني.
25 She is clothed in strength and dignity, she can laugh at the day to come.	25 العزّ والبهاء لباسها وتضحك على الزمن الآتي.
26 When she opens her mouth, she does so wisely; on her tongue is kindly instruction.	26 تفتح فمها بالحكمة وفي لسانها سنّة المعروف.
27 She keeps good watch on the conduct of her household, no bread of idleness for her.	27 تراقب طرق اهل بيتها ولا تأكل خبز الكسل.
28 Her children stand up and proclaim her blessed, her husband, too, sings her praises:	28 يقوم اولادها ويطوّبونها. زوجها ايضا فيمدحها.
29 'Many women have done admirable things, but you surpass them all!'	29 بنات كثيرات عملن فضلا اما انت ففقت عليهنّ جميعا.
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty empty; the woman who fears Yahweh is the one to praise.	30 الحسن غش والجمال باطل. اما المرأة المتقية الرب فهي تمدح.
31 Give her a share in what her hands have worked for, and let her works tel her praises at the citygates.	31 اعطوها من ثمر يديها ولتمدحها اعمالها في الابواب
