Proverbs 8

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Does not wisdom call out, and prudence bestow her voice?	1 ألعل الحكمة لا تنادي والفهم ألا يعطي صوته.
2 At the summits and the tops of exalted places, standing above the ways, in the midst of the paths,	2 عند رؤوس الشواهق عند الطريق بين المسالك تقف.
3 beside the gates of the city, at the very doors, she speaks, saying:	3 بجانب الابواب عند ثغر المدينة عند مدخل الابواب تصرّح.
4 “O men, to you I call out, and my voice is to the sons of men.	4 لكم ايها الناس انادي وصوتي الى بني آدم.
5 O little ones, understand discernment. And you who are unwise, turn your souls.	5 ايها الحمقى تعلموا ذكاء ويا جهال تعلموا فهما.
6 Listen, for I will speak about great things, and my lips will be opened, so as to foretell what is right.	6 اسمعوا فاني اتكلم بامور شريفة وافتتاح شفتيّ استقامة.
7 My throat shall practice truth, and my lips shall detest the impious.	7 لان حنكي يلهج بالصدق ومكرهة شفتيّ الكذب.
8 All my words are just. There is no depravity in them, and no perversity.	8 كل كلمات فمي بالحق. ليس فيها عوج ولا التواء.
9 They are upright to those who understand, and equitable to those who discover knowledge.	9 كلها واضحة لدى الفهيم ومستقيمة لدى الذين يجدون المعرفة.
10 Accept my discipline, and not money. Choose the doctrine that is greater than gold.	10 خذوا تاديبي لا الفضة. والمعرفة اكثر من الذهب المختار.
11 For wisdom is better than all that is most precious, and everything that is desirable cannot compare to her.	11 لان الحكمة خير من اللآلئ وكل الجواهر لا تساويها
12 I, wisdom, dwell in counsel, and I am inside learned thoughts.	12 انا الحكمة اسكن الذكاء واجد معرفة التدابير.
13 The fear of the Lord hates evil. I detest arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.	13 مخافة الرب بغض الشر. الكبرياء والتعظم وطريق الشر وفم الاكاذيب ابغضت.
14 Counsel is mine, and equity. Prudence is mine. Strength is mine.	14 لي المشورة والرأي. انا الفهم. لي القدرة.
15 Through me, kings reign and legislators decree just conditions.	15 بي تملك الملوك وتقضي العظماء عدلا.
16 Through me, princes rule and the powerful decree justice.	16 بي تترأس الرؤساء والشرفاء. كل قضاة الارض.
17 I love those who love me. And those who stand watch for me until morning shall discover me.	17 انا احب الذين يحبونني والذين يبكّرون اليّ يجدونني.
18 With me, are wealth and glory, superb riches and justice.	18 عندي الغنى والكرامة. قنية فاخرة وحظ.
19 For my fruit is better than gold and precious stones, and my progeny better than choice silver.	19 ثمري خير من الذهب ومن الابريز وغلتي خير من الفضة المختارة.
20 I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,	20 في طريق العدل اتمشى في وسط سبل الحق
21 so that I may enrich those who love me, and thus complete their treasures.	21 فاورّث محبيّ رزقا واملأ خزائنهم
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made anything, from the beginning.	22 الرب قناني اول طريقه من قبل اعماله منذ القدم.
23 I was ordained from eternity, and out of antiquity, before the earth was formed.	23 منذ الازل مسحت منذ البدء منذ اوائل الارض.
24 The abyss did not yet exist, and I was already conceived; neither had the fountains of waters yet erupted.	24 اذ لم يكن غمر أبدئت اذ لم تكن ينابيع كثيرة المياه.
25 The mountains, with their great mass, had not yet been established. Before the hills, I was brought forth.	25 من قبل ان تقررت الجبال قبل التلال أبدئت.
26 Still he had not made the earth, and the rivers, and the poles of the globe of the earth.	26 اذ لم يكن قد صنع الارض بعد ولا البراري ولا اول اعفار المسكونة.
27 I was already present: when he prepared the heavens; when, with a certain law and a circuit, he fortified the abyss;	27 لما ثبت السموات كنت هناك انا. لما رسم دائرة على وجه الغمر.
28 when he made firm the sky above, and set free the fountains of waters;	28 لما اثبت السحب من فوق لما تشددت ينابيع الغمر.
29 when he encompassed the sea within its limits, and laid down a law for the waters, lest they transgress their limits; when he weighed the foundations of the earth.	29 لما وضع للبحر حده فلا تتعدى المياه تخمه لما رسم أسس الارض.
30 I was with him in composing all things. And I was delighted, throughout every day, by playing in his sight at all times,	30 كنت عنده صانعا وكنت كل يوم لذّته فرحة دائما قدامه.
31 playing in globe of the earth. And my delight was to be with the sons of men.	31 فرحة في مسكونة ارضه ولذّاتي مع بني آدم
32 Therefore, sons, hear me now. Blessed are those who preserve my ways.	32 فالآن ايها البنون اسمعوا لي. فطوبى للذين يحفظون طرقي.
33 Listen to discipline, and become wise, and do not be willing to cast it aside.	33 اسمعوا التعليم وكونوا حكماء ولا ترفضوه.
34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, and who stands watch at my gates everyday, and who observes at the posts of my doors.	34 طوبى للانسان الذي يسمع لي ساهرا كل يوم عند مصاريعي حافظا قوائم ابوابي.
35 He who finds me, finds life, and he will draw salvation from the Lord.	35 لانه من يجدني يجد الحياة وينال رضى من الرب.
36 But he who sins against me will wound his own soul. All who hate me love death.”	36 ومن يخطئ عني يضر نفسه. كل مبغضي يحبون الموت
