Proverbs 2

2:1

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

يَا ابْنِي، إِنْ قَبِلْتَ كَلاَمِي وَخَبَّأْتَ وَصَايَايَ عِنْدَكَ،

2:2

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

حَتَّى تُمِيلَ أُذْنَكَ إِلَى الْحِكْمَةِ، وَتُعَطِّفَ قَلْبَكَ عَلَى الْفَهْمِ،

2:3

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

إِنْ دَعَوْتَ الْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَرَفَعْتَ صَوْتَكَ إِلَى الْفَهْمِ،

2:4

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

إِنْ طَلَبْتَهَا كَالْفِضَّةِ، وَبَحَثْتَ عَنْهَا كَالْكُنُوزِ،

2:5

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

فَحِينَئِذٍ تَفْهَمُ مَخَافَةَ الرَّبِّ، وَتَجِدُ مَعْرِفَةَ اللهِ.

2:6

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُعْطِي حِكْمَةً. مِنْ فَمِهِ الْمَعْرِفَةُ وَالْفَهْمُ.

2:7

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

يَذْخَرُ مَعُونَةً لِلْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ. هُوَ مِجَنٌّ لِلسَّالِكِينَ بِالْكَمَالِ،

2:8

He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

لِنَصْرِ مَسَالِكِ الْحَقِّ وَحِفْظِ طَرِيقِ أَتْقِيَائِهِ.

2:9

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

حِينَئِذٍ تَفْهَمُ الْعَدْلَ وَالْحَقَّ وَالاسْتِقَامَةَ، كُلَّ سَبِيل صَالِحٍ.

2:10

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْحِكْمَةُ قَلْبَكَ، وَلَذَّتِ الْمَعْرِفَةُ لِنَفْسِكَ،

2:11

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

فَالْعَقْلُ يَحْفَظُكَ، وَالْفَهْمُ يَنْصُرُكَ،

2:12

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

لإِنْقَاذِكَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَمِنَ الإِنْسَانِ الْمُتَكَلِّمِ بِالأَكَاذِيبِ،

2:13

Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

التَّارِكِينَ سُبُلَ الاسْتِقَامَةِ لِلسُّلُوكِ فِي مَسَالِكِ الظُّلْمَةِ،

2:14

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

الْفَرِحِينَ بِفَعْلِ السُّوءِ، الْمُبْتَهِجِينَ بِأَكَاذِيبِ الشَّرِّ،

2:15

Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

الَّذِينَ طُرُقُهُمْ مُعْوَجَّةٌ، وَهُمْ مُلْتَوُونَ فِي سُبُلِهِمْ.

2:16

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

لإِنْقَاذِكَ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ الأَجْنَبِيَّةِ، مِنَ الْغَرِيبَةِ الْمُتَمَلِّقَةِ بِكَلاَمِهَا،

2:17

Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

التَّارِكَةِ أَلِيفَ صِبَاهَا، وَالنَّاسِيَةِ عَهْدَ إِلهِهَا.

2:18

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

لأَنَّ بَيْتَهَا يَسُوخُ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَسُبُلُهَا إِلَى الأَخِيلَةِ.

2:19

None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

كُلُّ مَنْ دَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا لاَ يَؤُوبُ، وَلاَ يَبْلُغُونَ سُبُلَ الْحَيَاةِ.

2:20

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

حَتَّى تَسْلُكَ فِي طَرِيقِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَتَحْفَظَ سُبُلَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ.

2:21

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

لأَنَّ الْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ يَسْكُنُونَ الأَرْضَ، وَالْكَامِلِينَ يَبْقَوْنَ فِيهَا.

2:22

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَيَنْقَرِضُونَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَالْغَادِرُونَ يُسْتَأْصَلُونَ مِنْهَا.
