Proverbi (امثال) 20

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 الخمر مستهزئة. المسكر عجاج ومن يترنح بهما فليس بحكيم.	1 Wine is a luxurious thing, and drunkenness riotous: whosoever is delighted therewith shell not be wise.
2 رعب الملك كزمجرة الاسد. الذي يغيظه يخطئ الى نفسه.	2 As the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king: he that provoketh him, sinneth against his own soul.
3 مجد الرجل ان يبتعد عن الخصام وكل احمق ينازع.	3 It is an honour for a man to separate himself from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches.
4 الكسلان لا يحرث بسبب الشتاء فيستعطي في الحصاد ولا يعطى.	4 Because of the cold the sluggard would not plough: he shall beg therefore in the summer, and it shall not be given him.
5 المشورة في قلب الرجل مياه عميقة وذو الفطنة يستقيها.	5 Counsel in the heart of a man is like deep water: but a wise man will draw it out.
6 اكثر الناس ينادون كل واحد بصلاحه اما الرجل الامين فمن يجده.	6 Many men are called merciful: but who shall find a faithful man?
7 الصدّيق يسلك بكماله. طوبى لبنيه بعده.	7 The just that walketh in his simplicity, shall leave behind him blessed children.
8 الملك الجالس على كرسي القضاء يذري بعينه كل شر.	8 The king, that sitteth on the throne of judgment, scattereth away all evil with his look.
9 من يقول اني زكيت قلبي تطهرت من خطيتي	9 Who can say: My heart is clean, I am pure from sin?
10 معيار فمعيار مكيال فمكيال كلاهما مكرهة عند الرب.	10 Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.
11 الولد ايضا يعرف بافعاله هل عمله نقي ومستقيم.	11 By his inclinations a child is known, if his works be clean and right.
12 الاذن السامعة والعين الباصرة الرب صنعهما كلتيهما.	12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made them both.
13 لا تحب النوم لئلا تفتقر. افتح عينيك تشبع خبزا.	13 Love not sleep, lest poverty oppress thee: open thy eyes, and be filled with bread.
14 رديء رديء يقول المشتري واذا ذهب فحينئذ يفتخر.	14 It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.
15 يوجد ذهب وكثرة لآلئ. اما شفاه المعرفة فمتاع ثمين.	15 There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.
16 خذ ثوبه لانه ضمن غريبا ولاجل الاجانب ارتهن منه.	16 Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.
17 خبز الكذب لذيذ للانسان ومن بعد يمتلئ فمه حصى.	17 The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18 المقاصد تثبت بالمشورة وبالتدابير اعمل حربا.	18 Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
19 الساعي بالوشاية يفشي السر. فلا تخالط المفتّح شفتيه.	19 Meddle not with him that revealeth secrets, and walketh deceitfully, and openeth wide his lips.
20 من سبّ اباه او امه ينطفئ سراجه في حدقة الظلام	20 He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
21 ربّ ملك معجل في اوله. اما آخرته فلا تبارك.	21 The inheritance gotten hastily in the beginning, in the end shall be without a blessing.
22 لا تقل اني اجازي شرا. انتظر الرب فيخلّصك.	22 Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord and he will deliver thee.
23 معيار فمعيار مكرهة الرب. وموازين الغش غير صالحة.	23 Diverse weights are an abomination before the Lord: a deceitful balance is not good.
24 من الرب خطوات الرجل. اما الانسان فكيف يفهم طريقه.	24 The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?
25 هو شرك للانسان ان يلغو قائلا مقدس وبعد النذر ان يسأل.	25 It is ruin to a man to devour holy ones, and after vows to retract.
26 الملك الحكيم يشتت الاشرار ويرد عليهم النورج.	26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth over them the wheel.
27 نفس الانسان سراج الرب. يفتش كل مخادع البطن.	27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, which searcheth all the hidden things of the bowels.
28 الرحمة والحق يحفظان الملك وكرسيه يسند بالرحمة.	28 Mercy and truth preserve the king, and his throne is strengthened by clemency.
29 فخر الشبان قوتهم وبهاء الشيوخ الشيب.	29 The joy of young men is their strength: and the dignity of old men, their grey hairs.
30 حبر جرح منقية للشرير وضربات بالغة مخادع البطن	30 The blueness of a wound shall wipe away evils: and stripes in the more inward parts of the belly.
