Proverbs 28

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The impious flees, though no one pursues. But the just, like a confident lion, shall be without dread.	1 الشرير يهرب ولا طارد اما الصدّيقون فكشبل ثبيت.
2 Because of the sins of the land, it has many princes. And because of the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the leader shall be prolonged.	2 لمعصية ارض تكثر رؤساؤها. لكن بذي فهم ومعرفة تدوم.
3 A poor man slandering the poor is like a violent rainstorm in advance of a famine.	3 الرجل الفقير الذي يظلم فقراء هو مطر جارف لا يبقي طعاما.
4 Those who abandon the law praise the impious. Those who guard it are inflamed against him.	4 تاركو الشريعة يمدحون الاشرار وحافظو الشريعة يخاصمونهم.
5 Evil men do not intend judgment. But those who inquire after the Lord turn their souls toward all things.	5 الناس الاشرار لا يفهمون الحق وطالبو الرب يفهمون كل شيء.
6 Better is the pauper walking in his simplicity, than the rich walking in ways of depravity.	6 الفقير السالك باستقامته خير من معوج الطرق وهو غني.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son. But whoever feeds gluttons brings shame to his father.	7 الحافظ الشريعة هو ابن فهيم وصاحب المسرفين يخجل اباه.
8 Whoever piles up riches by usury and profit gathers them for him who will give freely to the poor.	8 المكثر ماله بالربا والمرابحة فلمن يرحم الفقراء يجمعه.
9 Whoever turns away his ears from listening to the law: his prayer will be detestable.	9 من يحول اذنه عن سماع الشريعة فصلاته ايضا مكرهة
10 Whoever deceives the just in a malicious way will fall into his own perdition. And the simple shall possess his goods.	10 من يضل المستقيمين في طريق رديئة ففي حفرته يسقط هو. اما الكملة فيمتلكون خيرا.
11 The rich one seems wise to himself. But the poor one, being prudent, shall evaluate him.	11 الرجل الغني حكيم في عيني نفسه والفقير الفهيم يفحصه.
12 In the exultation of the just, there is great glory. When the impious reign, men are brought to ruin.	12 اذا فرح الصدّيقون عظم الفخر وعند قيام الاشرار تختفي الناس.
13 Whoever hides his crimes will not be guided. But whoever will have confessed and abandoned them shall overtake mercy.	13 من يكتم خطاياه لا ينجح ومن يقرّ بها ويتركها يرحم.
14 Blessed is the man who is ever fearful. Yet truly, whoever is hardened in mind will fall into evil.	14 طوبى للانسان المتقي دائما. اما المقسي قلبه فيسقط في الشر.
15 An impious leader over a poor people is like a roaring lion and a hungry bear.	15 اسد زائر ودب ثائر المتسلط الشرير على شعب فقير.
16 A leader destitute of prudence will oppress many through false accusations. But whoever hates avarice shall prolong his days.	16 رئيس ناقص الفهم وكثير المظالم. مبغض الرشوة تطول ايامه
17 A man who slanders the blood of a life, even if he flees to the pit, no one will tolerate him.	17 الرجل المثقّل بدم نفس يهرب الى الجب. لا يمسكنه احد.
18 Whoever walks simply shall be saved. Whoever is perverse in his steps will fall all at once.	18 السالك بالكمال يخلص والملتوي في طريقين يسقط في احداهما.
19 Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever pursues leisure will be filled with need.	19 المشتغل بارضه يشبع خبزا وتابع البطّالين يشبع فقرا.
20 A faithful man shall be greatly praised. But whoever rushes to become rich will not be innocent.	20 الرجل الامين كثير البركات والمستعجل الى الغنى لا يبرأ.
21 Whoever shows favoritism in judgment does not do well; even if it is for a morsel of bread, he forsakes the truth.	21 محاباة الوجوه ليست صالحة فيذنب الانسان لاجل كسرة خبز.
22 A man who hurries to become rich, and who envies others, does not know that destitution will overwhelm him.	22 ذو العين الشريرة يعجل الى الغنى ولا يعلم ان الفقر ياتيه.
23 Whoever corrects a man, afterward he shall find favor with him, more so than he who deceives him with a flattering tongue.	23 من يوبخ انسانا يجد اخيرا نعمة اكثر من المطري باللسان.
24 Whoever takes away anything from his father or mother, and who says, “This is not a sin,” is the associate of a murderer.	24 السالب اباه او امه وهو يقول لا بأس فهو رفيق لرجل مخرب.
25 Whoever boasts and enlarges himself stirs up conflicts. Yet truly, whoever trusts in the Lord will be healed.	25 المنتفخ النفس يهيج الخصام والمتكل على الرب يسمن.
26 Whoever trusts in his own heart is a fool. But whoever treads wisely, the same shall be saved.	26 المتكل على قلبه هو جاهل والسالك بحكمة هو ينجو.
27 Whoever gives to the poor shall not be in need. Whoever despises his petition will suffer scarcity.	27 من يعطي الفقير لا يحتاج ولمن يحجب عنه عينيه لعنات كثيرة.
28 When the impious rise up, men will hide themselves. When they perish, the just shall be multiplied.	28 عند قيام الاشرار تختبئ الناس. وبهلاكهم يكثر الصدّيقون
