Proverbi (امثال) 22

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 الصيت افضل من الغنى العظيم والنعمة الصالحة افضل من الفضة والذهب.	1 A good name is better than many riches. And good esteem is above silver and gold.
2 الغني والفقير يتلاقيان. صانعهما كليهما الرب.	2 The rich and poor have met one another. The Lord is the maker of them both.
3 الذكي يبصر الشر فيتوارى والحمقى يعبرون فيعاقبون.	3 The clever saw evil and hid himself. The innocent continued on and was afflicted with damage.
4 ثواب التواضع ومخافة الرب هو غنى وكرامة وحياة.	4 The end of moderation is the fear of the Lord, riches and glory and life.
5 شوك وفخوخ في طريق الملتوي. من يحفظ نفسه يبتعد عنها.	5 Weapons and swords are on the way of the perverse. But he who guards his own soul withdraws far from them.
6 ربّ الولد في طريقه فمتى شاخ ايضا لا يحيد عنه.	6 The proverb is: A youth is close to his way; even when he is old, he will not withdraw from it.
7 الغني يتسلط على الفقير والمقترض عبد للمقرض.	7 The rich rule over the poor. And the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 الزارع اثما يحصد بليّة وعصا سخطه تفنى.	8 Whoever sows iniquity will reap evils, and by the rod of his own wrath he will be consumed.
9 الصالح العين هو يبارك لانه يعطي من خبزه للفقير	9 Whoever is inclined to mercy shall be blessed, for from his bread he has given to the poor. Whoever gives gifts will acquire victory and honor. But he carries away the soul of the receiver.
10 اطرد المستهزئ فيخرج الخصام ويبطل النزاع والخزي.	10 Cast out the one who ridicules, and conflict will go out with him, and accusations and insults will cease.
11 من احب طهارة القلب فلنعمة شفتيه يكون الملك صديقه.	11 Whoever loves cleanness of heart, because of the grace of his lips, will have the king as his friend.
12 عينا الرب تحفظان المعرفة وهو يقلب كلام الغادرين.	12 The eyes of the Lord watch over knowledge. And the words of the iniquitous are supplanted.
13 قال الكسلان الاسد في الخارج فأقتل في الشواع.	13 The lazy one says: “There is a lion outside. I might be slain in the midst of the streets.”
14 فم الاجنبيات هوّة عميقة. ممقوت الرب يسقط فيها.	14 The mouth of a foreign woman is a deep pit; the Lord was angry with him who will fall into it.
15 الجهالة مرتبطة بقلب الولد. عصا التأديب تبعدها عنه.	15 Foolishness has been bound to the heart of a child, and a rod of discipline shall cause it to flee.
16 ظالم الفقير تكثيرا لما له ومعطي الغني انما هما للعوز.	16 Whoever slanders the poor, so as to augment his own riches, will give it away to one who is richer, and will be in need.
17 امل اذنك واسمع كلام الحكماء ووجّه قلبك الى معرفتي.	17 Incline your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Then apply your heart to my doctrine.
18 لانه حسن ان حفظتها في جوفك. ان تتثبت جميعا على شفتيك.	18 It shall be beautiful to you, if you preserve it in your inner self, and it shall overflow from your lips,
19 ليكون اتكالك على الرب عرّفتك انت اليوم.	19 so that your confidence may be in the Lord. Therefore, I also have revealed it to you this day.
20 ألم اكتب لك أمورا شريفة من جهة مؤامرة ومعرفة.	20 Behold, I have written it for you in three ways, and with meditations and knowledge,
21 لاعلمك قسط كلام الحق لترد جواب الحق للذين ارسلوك	21 so that I might reveal to you, firmly and with words of truth, in order to respond about these things to those who sent you.
22 لا تسلب الفقير لكونه فقيرا ولا تسحق المسكين في الباب.	22 Do not act with violence toward the pauper because he is poor. And do not weary the needy at the gate.
23 لان الرب يقيم دعواهم ويسلب سالبي انفسهم.	23 For the Lord will judge his case, and he will pierce those who have pierced his soul.
24 لا تستصحب غضوبا ومع رجل ساخط لا تجئ	24 Do not be willing to be a friend to an angry man, and do not walk with a furious man,
25 لئلا تألف طرقه وتاخذ شركا الى نفسك.	25 lest perhaps you learn his ways, and take up a stumbling block to your soul.
26 لا تكن من صافقي الكف ولا من ضامني الديون.	26 Do not be willing to be with those who certify with their hands, and who offer themselves as a guarantee against debts.
27 ان لم يكن لك ما تفي فلماذا يأخذ فراشك من تحتك.	27 For if you do not have the means to restore, what reason should there be for him to take the covering from your bed?
28 لا تنقل التخم القديم الذي وضعه آباؤك.	28 Do not cross beyond the ancient limits that your fathers have set.
29 أرأيت رجلا مجتهدا في عمله. امام الملوك يقف لا يقف امام الرعاع	29 Have you seen a man swift in his work? He shall stand in the sight of kings, and not before those who are disreputable.
