لسان الحكماء | |
| 1 اَلْجَوَابُ اللَّيِّنُ يَصْرِفُ الْغَضَبَ، وَالْكَلاَمُ الْمُوجعُ يُهَيِّجُ السَّخَطَ. | 1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. |
|
| 2 لِسَانُ الْحُكَمَاءِ يُحَسِّنُ الْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَفَمُ الْجُهَّالِ يُنْبِعُ حَمَاقَةً. | 2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. |
|
| 3 فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ عَيْنَا الرَّبِّ مُرَاقِبَتَانِ الطَّالِحِينَ وَالصَّالِحِينَ. | 3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. |
|
| 4 هُدُوءُ اللِّسَانِ شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ، وَاعْوِجَاجُهُ سَحْقٌ فِي الرُّوحِ. | 4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. |
|
5 اَلأَحْمَقُ يَسْتَهِينُ بِتَأْدِيبِ أَبِيهِ، أَمَّا مُرَاعِي التَّوْبِيخِ فَيَذْكَى.  | 5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. |
|
| 6 فِي بَيْتِ الصِّدِّيقِ كَنْزٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَفِي دَخْلِ الأَشْرَارِ كَدَرٌ. | 6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. |
|
| 7 شِفَاهُ الْحُكَمَاءِ تَذُرُّ مَعْرِفَةً، أَمَّا قَلْبُ الْجُهَّالِ فَلَيْسَ كَذلِكَ. | 7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. |
|
| 8 ذَبِيحَةُ الأَشْرَارِ مَكْرَهَةُ الرَّبِّ، وَصَلاَةُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَرْضَاتُهُ. | 8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. |
|
| 9 مَكْرَهَةُ الرَّبِّ طَرِيقُ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَتَابعُ الْبِرِّ يُحِبُّهُ. | 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. |
|
| 10 تَأْدِيبُ شَرّ لِتَارِكِ الطَّرِيقِ. مُبْغِضُ التَّوْبِيخِ يَمُوتُ. | 10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. |
|
| 11 اَلْهَاوِيَةُ وَالْهَلاَكُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. كَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ قُلُوبُ بَنِي آدَمَ! | 11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? |
|
| 12 اَلْمُسْتَهْزِئُ لاَ يُحِبُّ مُوَبِّخَهُ. إِلَى الْحُكَمَاءِ لاَ يَذْهَبُ. | 12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. |
|
ثواب القلب الفرح | |
| 13 اَلْقَلْبُ الْفَرْحَانُ يَجْعَلُ الْوَجْهَ طَلِقًا، وَبِحُزْنِ الْقَلْبِ تَنْسَحِقُ الرُّوحُ. | 13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. |
|
| 14 قَلْبُ الْفَهِيمِ يَطْلُبُ مَعْرِفَةً، وَفَمُ الْجُهَّالِ يَرْعَى حَمَاقَةً. | 14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. |
|
| 15 كُلُّ أَيَّامِ الْحَزِينِ شَقِيَّةٌ، أَمَّا طَيِّبُ الْقَلْبِ فَوَلِيمَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ. | 15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. |
|
| 16 اَلْقَلِيلُ مَعَ مَخَافَةِ الرَّبِّ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَنْزٍ عَظِيمٍ مَعَ هَمٍّ. | 16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. |
|
| 17 أَكْلَةٌ مِنَ الْبُقُولِ حَيْثُ تَكُونُ الْمَحَبَّةُ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَوْرٍ مَعْلُوفٍ وَمَعَهُ بُغْضَةٌ. | 17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. |
|
| 18 اَلرَّجُلُ الْغَضُوبُ يُهَيِّجُ الْخُصُومَةَ، وَبَطِيءُ الْغَضَبِ يُسَكِّنُ الْخِصَامَ. | 18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. |
|
| 19 طَرِيقُ الْكَسْلاَنِ كَسِيَاجٍ مِنْ شَوْكٍ، وَطَرِيقُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ مَنْهَجٌ. | 19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain. |
|
| 20 اَلابْنُ الْحَكِيمُ يَسُرُّ أَبَاهُ، وَالرَّجُلُ الْجَاهِلُ يَحْتَقِرُ أُمَّهُ. | 20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. |
|
