Proverbs 12

مَنْ يُحِبُّ التَّأْدِيبَ يُحِبُّ الْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَمَنْ يُبْغِضُ التَّوْبِيخَ فَهُوَ بَلِيدٌ.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

الصَّالِحُ يَنَالُ رِضًى مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ، أَمَّا رَجُلُ الْمَكَايِدِ فَيَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِ.

A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

لاَ يُثَبَّتُ الإِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ، أَمَّا أَصْلُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ فَلاَ يَتَقَلْقَلُ.

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

اَلْمَرْأَةُ الْفَاضِلَةُ تَاجٌ لِبَعْلِهَا، أَمَّا الْمُخْزِيَةُ فَكَنَخْرٍ فِي عِظَامِهِ.

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

أَفْكَارُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ عَدْلٌ. تَدَابِيرُ الأَشْرَارِ غِشٌّ.

The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

كَلاَمُ الأَشْرَارِ كُمُونٌ لِلدَّمِ، أَمَّا فَمُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ فَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

تَنْقَلِبُ الأَشْرَارُ وَلاَ يَكُونُونَ، أَمَّا بَيْتُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ فَيَثْبُتُ.

The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

بِحَسَبِ فِطْنَتِهِ يُحْمَدُ الإِنْسَانُ، أَمَّا الْمُلْتَوِي الْقَلْبِ فَيَكُونُ لِلْهَوَانِ.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

اَلْحَقِيرُ وَلَهُ عَبْدٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُتَمَجِّدِ وَيُعْوِزُهُ الْخُبْزُ.

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

الصِّدِّيقُ يُرَاعِي نَفْسَ بَهِيمَتِهِ، أَمَّا مَرَاحِمُ الأَشْرَارِ فَقَاسِيَةٌ.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

مَنْ يَشْتَغِلُ بِحَقْلِهِ يَشْبَعُ خُبْزًا، أَمَّا تَابعُ الْبَطَّالِينَ فَهُوَ عَدِيمُ الْفَهْمِ.

He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

اِشْتَهَى الشِّرِّيرُ صَيْدَ الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَصْلُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ يُجْدِي.

The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الشَّفَتَيْنِ شَرَكُ الشِّرِّيرِ، أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الضِّيقِ.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

الإِنْسَانُ يَشْبَعُ خَيْرًا مِنْ ثَمَرِ فَمِهِ، وَمُكَافَأَةُ يَدَيِ الإِنْسَانِ تُرَدُّ لَهُ.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

طَرِيقُ الْجَاهِلِ مُسْتَقِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، أَمَّا سَامِعُ الْمَشُورَةِ فَهُوَ حَكِيمٌ.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

غَضَبُ الْجَاهِلِ يُعْرَفُ فِي يَوْمِهِ، أَمَّا سَاتِرُ الْهَوَانِ فَهُوَ ذَكِيٌّ.

A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

مَنْ يَتَفَوَّهْ بِالْحَقِّ يُظْهِرِ الْعَدْلَ، وَالشَّاهِدُ الْكَاذِبُ يُظْهِرُ غِشًّا.

He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَهْذُرُ مِثْلَ طَعْنِ السَّيْفِ، أَمَّا لِسَانُ الْحُكَمَاءِ فَشِفَاءٌ.

There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

شَفَةُ الصِّدْقِ تَثْبُتُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ،، وَلِسَانُ الْكَذِبِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَى طَرْفَةِ الْعَيْنِ.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

اَلْغِشُّ فِي قَلْبِ الَّذِينَ يُفَكِّرُونَ فِي الشَّرِّ، أَمَّا الْمُشِيرُونَ بِالسَّلاَمِ فَلَهُمْ فَرَحٌ.

Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

لاَ يُصِيبُ الصِّدِّيقَ شَرٌّ، أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَيَمْتَلِئُونَ سُوءًا.

There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

كَرَاهَةُ الرَّبِّ شَفَتَا كَذِبٍ، أَمَّا الْعَامِلُونَ بِالصِّدْقِ فَرِضَاهُ.

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

اَلرَّجُلُ الذَّكِيُّ يَسْتُرُ الْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَقَلْبُ الْجَاهِلِ يُنَادِي بِالْحَمَقِ.

A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

يَدُ الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ تَسُودُ، أَمَّا الرَّخْوَةُ فَتَكُونُ تَحْتَ الْجِزْيَةِ.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

الْغَمُّ فِي قَلْبِ الرَّجُلِ يُحْنِيهِ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ تُفَرِّحُهُ.

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

الصِّدِّيقُ يَهْدِي صَاحِبَهُ، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ الأَشْرَارِ فَتُضِلُّهُمْ.

The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

الرَّخَاوَةُ لاَ تَمْسِكُ صَيْدًا، أَمَّا ثَرْوَةُ الإِنْسَانِ الْكَرِيمَةُ فَهِيَ الاجْتِهَادُ.

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

فِي سَبِيلِ الْبِرِّ حَيَاةٌ، وَفِي طَرِيقِ مَسْلِكِهِ لاَ مَوْتَ.

In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
