Proverbs 19

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

الْفَقِيرُ السَّالِكُ بِكَمَالِهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُلْتَوِي الشَّفَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَاهِلٌ.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

أَيْضًا كَوْنُ النَّفْسِ بِلاَ مَعْرِفَةٍ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا، وَالْمُسْتَعْجِلُ بِرِجْلَيْهِ يُخْطِئُ.

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

حَمَاقَةُ الرَّجُلِ تُعَوِّجُ طَرِيقَهُ، وَعَلَى الرَّبِّ يَحْنَقُ قَلْبُهُ.

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

اَلْغِنَى يُكْثِرُ الأَصْحَابَ، وَالْفَقِيرُ مُنْفَصِلٌ عَنْ قَرِيبِهِ.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

شَاهِدُ الزُّورِ لاَ يَتَبَرَّأُ، وَالْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ لاَ يَنْجُو.

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

كَثِيرُونَ يَسْتَعْطِفُونَ وَجْهَ الشَّرِيفِ، وَكُلٌّ صَاحِبٌ لِذِي الْعَطَايَا.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

كُلُّ إِخْوَةِ الْفَقِيرِ يُبْغِضُونَهُ، فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ أَصْدِقَاؤُهُ يَبْتَعِدُونَ عَنْهُ! مَنْ يَتْبَعُ أَقْوَالاً فَهِيَ لَهُ.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

اَلْمُقْتَنِي الْحِكْمَةَ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ. الْحَافِظُ الْفَهْمِ يَجِدُ خَيْرًا.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

شَاهِدُ الزُّورِ لاَ يَتَبَرَّأُ، وَالْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ يَهْلِكُ.

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

اَلتَّنَعُّمُ لاَ يَلِيقُ بِالْجَاهِلِ. كَمْ بِالأَوْلَى لاَ يَلِيقُ بِالْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَى الرُّؤَسَاءِ!

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

تَعَقُّلُ الإِنْسَانِ يُبْطِئُ غَضَبَهُ، وَفَخْرُهُ الصَّفْحُ عَنْ مَعْصِيَةٍ.

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

كَزَمْجَرَةِ الأَسَدِ حَنَقُ الْمَلِكِ، وَكَالطَّلِّ عَلَى الْعُشْبِ رِضْوَانُهُ.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

اَلابْنُ الْجَاهِلُ مُصِيبَةٌ عَلَى أَبِيهِ، وَمُخَاصَمَاتُ الزَّوْجَةِ كَالْوَكْفِ الْمُتَتَابعِ.

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

اَلْبَيْتُ وَالثَّرْوَةُ مِيرَاثٌ مِنَ الآبَاءِ، أَمَّا الزَّوْجَةُ الْمُتَعَقِّلَةُ فَمِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

اَلْكَسَلُ يُلْقِي فِي السُّبَاتِ، وَالنَّفْسُ الْمُتَرَاخِيَةُ تَجُوعُ.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

حَافِظُ الْوَصِيَّةِ حَافِظٌ نَفْسَهُ، وَالْمُتَهَاوِنُ بِطُرُقِهِ يَمُوتُ.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

مَنْ يَرْحَمُ الْفَقِيرَ يُقْرِضُ الرَّبَّ، وَعَنْ مَعْرُوفِهِ يُجَازِيهِ.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

أَدِّبِ ابْنَكَ لأَنَّ فِيهِ رَجَاءً، وَلكِنْ عَلَى إِمَاتَتِهِ لاَ تَحْمِلْ نَفْسَكَ.

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

اَلشَّدِيدُ الْغَضَبِ يَحْمِلُ عُقُوبَةً، لأَنَّكَ إِذَا نَجَّيْتَهُ فَبَعْدُ تُعِيدُ.

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

اِسْمَعِ الْمَشُورَةَ وَاقْبَلِ التَّأْدِيبَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ حَكِيمًا فِي آخِرَتِكَ.

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

فِي قَلْبِ الإِنْسَانِ أَفْكَارٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، لكِنْ مَشُورَةُ الرَّبِّ هِيَ تَثْبُتُ.

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

زِينَةُ الإِنْسَانِ مَعْرُوفَهُ، وَالْفَقِيرُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْكَذُوبِ.

The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ لِلْحَيَاةِ. يَبِيتُ شَبْعَانَ لاَ يَتَعَهَّدُهُ شَرٌّ.

A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

اَلْكَسْلاَنُ يُخْفِي يَدَهُ فِي الصَّحْفَةِ، وَأَيْضًا إِلَى فَمِهِ لاَ يَرُدُّهَا.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

اِضْرِبِ الْمُسْتَهْزِئَ فَيَتَذَكَّى الأَحْمَقُ، وَوَبِّخْ فَهِيمًا فَيَفْهَمَ مَعْرِفَةً.

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

الْمُخَرِّبُ أَبَاهُ وَالطَّارِدُ أُمَّهُ هُوَ ابْنٌ مُخْزٍ وَمُخْجِلٌ.

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

كُفَّ يَا ابْنِي عَنِ اسْتِمَاعِ التَّعْلِيمِ لِلضَّلاَلَةِ عَنْ كَلاَمِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ.

An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

اَلشَّاهِدُ اللَّئِيمُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِالْحَقِّ، وَفَمُ الأَشْرَارِ يَبْلَعُ الإِثْمَ.

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

اَلْقِصَاصُ مُعَدٌّ لِلْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ، وَالضَّرْبُ لِظَهْرِ الْجُهَّالِ.
