Proverbs 29

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The man who, with a stiff neck, treats the one who corrects him with contempt will be suddenly overwhelmed to his own destruction, and reason shall not follow him.	1 الكثير التوبّخ المقسي عنقه بغتة يكسر ولا شفاء.
2 When just men are multiplied, the common people shall rejoice. When the impious take up the leadership, the people shall mourn.	2 اذا ساد الصدّيقون فرح الشعب واذا تسلط الشرير يئن الشعب.
3 The man who loves wisdom rejoices his father. But whoever nurtures promiscuous women will lose his substance.	3 من يحب الحكمة يفرّح اباه ورفيق الزواني يبدد مالا.
4 A just king guides the land. A man of avarice will destroy it.	4 الملك بالعدل يثبت الارض والقابل الهدايا يدمرها.
5 A man who speaks to his friend with flattering and feigned words spreads a net for his own feet.	5 الرجل الذي يطري صاحبه يبسط شبكة لرجليه.
6 A snare will entangle the iniquitous when he sins. And the just shall praise and be glad.	6 في معصية رجل شرير شرك اما الصدّيق فيترنم ويفرح.
7 The just knows the case of the poor. The impious is ignorant of knowledge.	7 الصدّيق يعرف دعوى الفقراء. اما الشرير فلا يفهم معرفة.
8 Pestilent men squander a city. Yet truly, the wise avert fury.	8 الناس المستهزئون يفتنون المدينة. اما الحكماء فيصرفون الغضب.
9 A wise man, if he were to contend with the foolish, whether in anger or in laughter, would find no rest.	9 رجل حكيم ان حاكم رجلا احمق فان غضب وان ضحك فلا راحة.
10 Bloodthirsty men hate the simple one; but the just seek out his soul.	10 اهل الدماء يبغضون الكامل. اما المستقيمون فيسألون عن نفسه.
11 A foolish one offers everything on his mind. A wise one reserves and defers until later.	11 الجاهل يظهر كل غيظه والحكيم يسكنه اخيرا
12 A leader who freely listens to lying words has only impious servants.	12 الحاكم المصغي الى كلام كذب كل خدامه اشرار.
13 The pauper and the creditor have met one another. The Lord is the illuminator of them both.	13 الفقير والمربي يتلاقيان. الرب ينوّر اعين كليهما.
14 The king who judges the poor in truth, his throne shall be secured in eternity.	14 الملك الحاكم بالحق للفقراء يثبت كرسيه الى الابد.
15 The rod and its correction distribute wisdom. But the child who is left to his own will brings shame to his mother.	15 العصا والتوبيخ يعطيان حكمة والصبي المطلق الى هواه يخجل امه.
16 When the impious are multiplied, crimes will be multiplied. But the just shall see their ruin.	16 اذا ساد الاشرار كثرت المعاصي. اما الصدّيقون فينظرون سقوطهم.
17 Teach your son, and he will refresh you, and he will give delight to your soul.	17 ادّب ابنك فيريحك ويعطي نفسك لذّات.
18 When prophecy fails, the people will be scattered. Yet truly, whoever guards the law is blessed.	18 بلا رؤية يجمح الشعب. اما حافظ الشريعة فطوباه‎.
19 A servant cannot be taught by words, because he understands what you say, but he disdains to respond.	19 بالكلام لا يؤدب العبد لانه يفهم ولا يعنى.
20 Have you seen a man rushing to speak? Foolishness has more hope than his correction.	20 أرأيت انسان عجولا في كلامه. الرجاء بالجاهل اكثر من الرجاء به.
21 Whoever nurtures his servant delicately from childhood, afterwards will find him defiant.	21 من فنّق عبده من حداثته ففي آخرته يصير منونا.
22 A short-tempered man provokes quarrels. And whoever is easily angered is more likely to sin.	22 الرجل الغضوب يهيج الخصام والرجل السخوط كثير المعاصي.
23 Humiliation follows the arrogant. And glory shall uphold the humble in spirit.	23 كبرياء الانسان تضعه والوضيع الروح ينال مجدا.
24 Whoever participates with a thief hates his own soul; for he listens to his oath and does not denounce him.	24 من يقاسم سارقا يبغض نفسه. يسمع اللعن ولا يقرّ.
25 Whoever fears man will quickly fall. Whoever hopes in the Lord shall be lifted up.	25 خشية الانسان تضع شركا والمتكل على الرب يرفع.
26 Many demand the face of the leader. But the judgment of each one proceeds from the Lord.	26 كثيرون يطلبون وجه المتسلط. اما حق الانسان فمن الرب.
27 The just abhor an impious man. And the impious abhor those who are on the right way. By keeping the word, the son shall be free from perdition.	27 الرجل الظالم مكرهة الصدّيقين والمستقيم الطريق مكرهة الشرير
