Proverbs 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Wisdom has built a house for herself. She has hewn seven columns.	1 الحكمة بنت بيتها. نحتت اعمدتها السبعة.
2 She has immolated her victims. She has mixed her wine and set forth her table.	2 ذبحت ذبحها مزجت خمرها. ايضا رتبت مائدتها.
3 She has sent her maids to call out to the tower and to the fortified walls of the city,	3 ارسلت جواريها تنادي على ظهور اعالي المدينة.
4 “If anyone is little, let him come to me.” And to the unwise, she has said:	4 من هو جاهل فليمل الى هنا. والناقص الفهم قالت له
5 “Approach. Eat my bread, and drink the wine that I have mixed for you.	5 هلموا كلوا من طعامي واشربوا من الخمر التي مزجتها.
6 Leave behind childishness. And live and walk by the ways of prudence.”	6 اتركوا الجهالات فتحيوا وسيروا في طريق الفهم
7 Whoever teaches a mocker causes injury to himself. And whoever argues with the impious produces a blemish on himself.	7 من يوبخ مستهزئا يكسب لنفسه هوانا ومن ينذر شريرا يكسب عيبا.
8 Do not be willing to argue with a mocker, lest he hate you. Dispute with the wise, and he will love you.	8 لا توبخ مستهزئا لئلا يبغضك. وبخ حكيما فيحبك.
9 Present an opportunity to the wise, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach the just, and he will hurry to receive it.	9 اعط حكيما فيكون اوفر حكمة. علّم صدّيقا فيزداد علما.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holiness is prudence.	10 بدء الحكمة مخافة الرب ومعرفة القدوس فهم.
11 For by me, your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you.	11 لانه بي تكثر ايامك وتزداد لك سنو حياة.
12 If you would be wise, you will be so for yourself. But if you would be one who ridicules, you alone shall carry the evil.	12 ان كنت حكيما فانت حكيم لنفسك وان استهزأت فانت وحدك تتحمل
13 A foolish and loud woman, who is full of enticements and who knows nothing at all,	13 المرأة الجاهلة صخّابة حمقاء ولا تدري شيئا.
14 sat at the entrance of her house on a seat, in a high place of the city,	14 فتقعد عند باب بيتها على كرسي في اعالي المدينة
15 so as to call to those who were passing by the way and continuing on their journey:	15 لتنادي عابري السبيل المقوّمين طرقهم.
16 “Whoever is little, let him turn aside to me.” And to the frenzied, she said,	16 من هو جاهل فليمل الى هنا. والناقص الفهم تقول له
17 “Stolen waters are more soothing, and secret bread is more pleasant.”	17 المياه المسروقة حلوة وخبز الخفية لذيذ.
18 And he did not know that giants are there, and that her companions are in the depths of Hell.	18 ولا يعلم ان الاخيلة هناك وان في اعماق الهاوية ضيوفها
