Proverbs
1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.4The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it .8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.26Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
1اَلْكَثِيرُ التَّوَبُّخِ، الْمُقَسِّي عُنُقَهُ، بَغْتَةً يُكَسَّرُ وَلاَ شِفَاءَ.2إِذَا سَادَ الصِّدِّيقُونَ فَرِحَ الشَّعْبُ، وَإِذَا تَسَلَّطَ الشِّرِّيرُ يَئِنُّ الشَّعْبُ.3مَنْ يُحِبُّ الْحِكْمَةَ يُفَرِّحُ أَبَاهُ، وَرَفِيقُ الزَّوَانِي يُبَدِّدُ مَالاً.4اَلْمَلِكُ بِالْعَدْلِ يُثَبِّتُ الأَرْضَ، وَالْقَابِلُ الْهَدَايَا يُدَمِّرُهَا.5اَلرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُطْرِي صَاحِبَهُ يَبْسُطُ شَبَكَةً لِرِجْلَيْهِ.6فِي مَعْصِيَةِ رَجُلٍ شِرِّيرٍ شَرَكٌ، أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُ فَيَتَرَنَّمُ وَيَفْرَحُ.7الصِّدِّيقُ يَعْرِفُ دَعْوَى الْفُقَرَاءِ، أَمَّا الشِّرِّيرُ فَلاَ يَفْهَمُ مَعْرِفَةً.8اَلنَّاسُ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ يَفْتِنُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ، أَمَّا الْحُكَمَاءُ فَيَصْرِفُونَ الْغَضَبَ.9رَجُلٌ حَكِيمٌ إِنْ حَاكَمَ رَجُلاً أَحْمَقَ، فَإِنْ غَضِبَ وَإِنْ ضَحِكَ فَلاَ رَاحَةَ.10أَهْلُ الدِّمَاءِ يُبْغِضُونَ الْكَامِلَ، أَمَّا الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ.11اَلْجَاهِلُ يُظْهِرُ كُلَّ غَيْظِهِ، وَالْحَكِيمُ يُسَكِّنُهُ أَخِيراً.12اَلْحَاكِمُ الْمُصْغِي إِلَى كَلاَمِ كَذِبٍ كُلُّ خُدَّامِهِ أَشْرَارٌ.13اَلْفَقِيرُ وَالظَّالِمُ يَتَلاَقَيَانِ. الرَّبُّ يُنَوِّرُ أَعْيُنَ كِلَيْهِمَا.14اَلْمَلِكُ الْحَاكِمُ بِالْحَقِّ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ يُثَبَّتُ كُرْسِيُّهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.15اَلْعَصَا وَالتَّوْبِيخُ يُعْطِيَانِ حِكْمَةً، وَالصَّبِيُّ الْمُطْلَقُ إِلَى هَوَاهُ يُخْجِلُ أُمَّهُ.16إِذَا سَادَ الأَشْرَارُ كَثُرَتِ الْمَعَاصِي. أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُونَ فَيَنْظُرُونَ سُقُوطَهُمْ.17أَدِّبِ ابْنَكَ فَيُرِيحَكَ وَيُعْطِيَ نَفْسَكَ لَذَّاتٍ.18بِلاَ رُؤْيَا يَجْمَحُ الشَّعْبُ، أَمَّا حَافِظُ الشَّرِيعَةِ فَطُوبَاهُ.19بِالْكَلاَمِ لاَ يُؤَدَّبُ الْعَبْدُ لأَنَّهُ يَفْهَمُ وَلاَ يُعْنَى.20أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْسَاناً عَجُولاً فِي كَلاَمِهِ. الرَّجَاءُ بِالْجَاهِلِ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ الرَّجَاءِ بِهِ.21مَنْ دَلَّلَ عَبْدَهُ مِنْ حَدَاثَتِهِ فَفِي آخِرَتِهِ يَصِيرُ مَنُوناً.22اَلرَّجُلُ الْغَضُوبُ يُهَيِّجُ الْخِصَامَ، وَالرَّجُلُ السَّخُوطُ كَثِيرُ الْمَعَاصِي.23كِبْرِيَاءُ الإِنْسَانِ تَضَعُهُ، وَالْوَضِيعُ الرُّوحِ يَنَالُ مَجْداً.24مَنْ يُقَاسِمْ سَارِقاً يُبْغِضْ نَفْسَهُ. يَسْمَعُ اللَّعْنَ وَلاَ يُقِرُّ.25خَشْيَةُ الإِنْسَانِ تَضَعُ شَرَكاً، وَالْمُتَّكِلُ عَلَى الرَّبِّ يُرْفَعُ.26كَثِيرُونَ يَطْلُبُونَ وَجْهَ الْمُتَسَلِّطِ، أَمَّا حَقُّ الإِنْسَانِ فَمِنَ الرَّبِّ.27اَلرَّجُلُ الظَّالِمُ مَكْرَهَةُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ، وَالْمُسْتَقِيمُ الطَّرِيقِ مَكْرَهَةُ الشِّرِّيرِ.
