PROVERBS 27	امثال 27
1 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.	1 لاَ تَفْتَخِرْ بِالْغَدِ لأَنَّكَ لاَ تَعْلَمُ مَاذَا يَلِدُهُ يَوْمٌ.
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.	2 لِيَمْدَحْكَ الْغَرِيبُ لاَ فَمُكَ الأَجْنَبِيُّ لاَ شَفَتَاكَ.
3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, But a fool's wrath is heavier than both of them.	3 اَلْحَجَرُ ثَقِيلٌ وَالرَّمْلُ ثَقِيلٌ وَغَضَبُ الْجَاهِلِ أَثْقَلُ مِنْهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا.
4 Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent, But who is able to stand before jealousy?	4 اَلْغَضَبُ قَسَاوَةٌ وَالسَّخَطُ جُرَافٌ وَمَنْ يَقِفُ قُدَّامَ الْحَسَدِ؟
5 Open rebuke is better Than love carefully concealed.	5 اَلتَّوْبِيخُ الظَّاهِرُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْحُبِّ الْمُسْتَتِرِ.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.	6 أَمِينَةٌ هِيَ جُرُوحُ الْمُحِبِّ وَغَاشَّةٌ هِيَ قُبْلاَتُ الْعَدُوِّ.
7 A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.	7 اَلنَّفْسُ الشَّبْعَانَةُ تَدُوسُ الْعَسَلَ وَلِلنَّفْسِ الْجَائِعَةِ كُلُّ مُرٍّ حُلْوٌ.
8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest Is a man who wanders from his place.	8 مِثْلُ الْعُصْفُورِ التَّائِهِ مِنْ عُشِّهِ هَكَذَا الرَّجُلُ التَّائِهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ.
9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart, And the sweetness of a man's friend gives delight by hearty counsel.	9 اَلدُّهْنُ وَالْبَخُورُ يُفَرِّحَانِ الْقَلْبَ وَحَلاَوَةُ الصَّدِيقِ مِنْ مَشُورَةِ النَّفْسِ.
10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend, Nor go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity; Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.	10 لاَ تَتْرُكْ صَدِيقَكَ وَصَدِيقَ أَبِيكَ وَلاَ تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَ أَخِيكَ فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِكَ. الْجَارُ الْقَرِيبُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الأَخِ الْبَعِيدِ.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him who reproaches me.	11 يَا ابْنِي كُنْ حَكِيماً وَفَرِّحْ قَلْبِي فَأُجِيبَ مَنْ يُعَيِّرُنِي كَلِمَةً.
12 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; The simple pass on and are punished.	12 الذَّكِيُّ يُبْصِرُ الشَّرَّ فَيَتَوَارَى. الأَغْبِيَاءُ يَعْبُرُونَ فَيُعَاقَبُونَ.
13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger, And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.	13 خُذْ ثَوْبَهُ لأَنَّهُ ضَمِنَ غَرِيباً وَلأَجْلِ الأَجَانِبِ ارْتَهِنَ مِنْهُ.
14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It will be counted a curse to him.	14 مَنْ يُبَارِكُ قَرِيبَهُ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ فِي الصَّبَاحِ بَاكِراً يُحْسَبُ لَهُ لَعْناً.
15 A continual dripping on a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike;	15 اَلْوَكْفُ الْمُتَتَابِعُ فِي يَوْمٍ مُمْطِرٍ وَالْمَرْأَةُ الْمُخَاصِمَةُ سِيَّانِ
16 Whoever restrains her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand.	16 مَنْ يُخَبِّئُهَا يُخَبِّئُ الرِّيحَ وَيَمِينُهُ تَقْبِضُ عَلَى زَيْتٍ!
17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.	17 الْحَدِيدُ بِالْحَدِيدِ يُحَدَّدُ وَالإِنْسَانُ يُحَدِّدُ وَجْهَ صَاحِبِهِ.
18 Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit; So he who waits on his master will be honored.	18 مَنْ يَحْمِي تِينَةً يَأْكُلُ ثَمَرَتَهَا وَحَافِظُ سَيِّدِهِ يُكْرَمُ.
19 As in water face reflects face, So a man's heart reveals the man.	19 كَمَا فِي الْمَاءِ الْوَجْهُ لِلْوَجْهِ كَذَلِكَ قَلْبُ الإِنْسَانِ لِلإِنْسَانِ.
20 Hell and Destruction are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied.	20 اَلْهَاوِيَةُ وَالْهَلاَكُ لاَ يَشْبَعَانِ وَكَذَا عَيْنَا الإِنْسَانِ لاَ تَشْبَعَانِ.
21 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, And a man is valued by what others say of him.	21 اَلْبُوطَةُ لِلْفِضَّةِ وَالْكُورُ لِلذَّهَبِ كَذَا الإِنْسَانُ لِفَمِ مَادِحِهِ.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.	22 إِنْ دَقَقْتَ الأَحْمَقَ فِي هَاوُنٍ بَيْنَ السَّمِيذِ بِمِدَقٍّ لاَ تَبْرَحُ عَنْهُ حَمَاقَتُهُ.
23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, And attend to your herds;	23 مَعْرِفَةً اعْرِفْ حَالَ غَنَمِكَ وَاجْعَلْ قَلْبَكَ إِلَى قُطْعَانِكَ
24 For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.	24 لأَنَّ الْغِنَى لَيْسَ بِدَائِمٍ وَلاَ التَّاجُ لِدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.
25 When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,	25 فَنِيَ الْحَشِيشُ وَظَهَرَ الْعُشْبُ وَاجْتَمَعَ نَبَاتُ الْجِبَالِ.
26 The lambs will provide your clothing, And the goats the price of a field;	26 الْحُمْلاَنُ لِلِبَاسِكَ وَثَمَنُ حَقْلٍ أَعْتِدَةٌ.
27 You shall have enough goats' milk for your food, For the food of your household, And the nourishment of your maidservants.	27 وَكِفَايَةٌ مِنْ لَبَنِ الْمَعْزِ لِطَعَامِكَ لِقُوتِ بَيْتِكَ وَمَعِيشَةِ فَتَيَاتِكَ.
