| BSB 1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; favor is better than silver and gold. | SVD 1 اَلصِّيتُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ ٱلْغِنَى ٱلْعَظِيمِ، وَٱلنِّعْمَةُ ٱلصَّالِحَةُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ. |
| BSB 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is Maker of them all. | SVD 2 اَلْغَنِيُّ وَٱلْفَقِيرُ يَتَلَاقَيَانِ، صَانِعُهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا ٱلرَّبُّ. |
| BSB 3 The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences. | SVD 3 اَلذَّكِيُّ يُبْصِرُ ٱلشَّرَّ فَيَتَوَارَى، وَٱلْحَمْقَى يَعْبُرُونَ فَيُعَاقَبُونَ. |
| BSB 4 The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD are wealth and honor and life. | SVD 4 ثَوَابُ ٱلتَّوَاضُعِ وَمَخَافَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ غِنًى وَكَرَامَةٌ وَحَيَاةٌ. |
| BSB 5 Thorns and snares lie on the path of the perverse; he who guards his soul stays far from them. | SVD 5 شَوْكٌ وَفُخُوخٌ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْمُلْتَوِي. مَنْ يَحْفَظْ نَفْسَهُ يَبْتَعِدْ عَنْهَا. |
| BSB 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. | SVD 6 رَبِّ ٱلْوَلَدَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، فَمَتَى شَاخَ أَيْضًا لَا يَحِيدُ عَنْهُ. |
| BSB 7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender. | SVD 7 اَلْغَنِيُّ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى ٱلْفَقِيرِ، وَٱلْمُقْتَرِضُ عَبْدٌ لِلْمُقْرِضِ. |
| BSB 8 He who sows injustice will reap disaster, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. | SVD 8 ٱلزَّارِعُ إِثْمًا يَحْصُدُ بَلِيَّةً، وَعَصَا سَخَطِهِ تَفْنَى. |
| BSB 9 A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. | SVD 9 اَلصَّالِحُ ٱلْعَيْنِ هُوَ يُبَارَكُ، لِأَنَّهُ يُعْطِي مِنْ خُبْزِهِ لِلْفَقِيرِ. |
| BSB 10 Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease. | SVD 10 أُطْرُدِ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئَ فَيَخْرُجَ ٱلْخِصَامُ، وَيَبْطُلَ ٱلنِّزَاعُ وَٱلْخِزْيُ. |
| BSB 11 He who loves a pure heart and gracious lips will have the king for a friend. | SVD 11 مَنْ أَحَبَّ طَهَارَةَ ٱلْقَلْبِ، فَلِنِعْمَةِ شَفَتَيْهِ يَكُونُ ٱلْمَلِكُ صَدِيقَهُ. |
| BSB 12 The LORD’s eyes keep watch over knowledge, but He frustrates the words of the faithless. | SVD 12 عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ تَحْفَظَانِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةَ، وَهُوَ يَقْلِبُ كَلَامَ ٱلْغَادِرِينَ. |
| BSB 13 The slacker says, “There is a lion outside! I will be slain in the streets!” | SVD 13 قَالَ ٱلْكَسْلَانُ: «ٱلْأَسَدُ فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ، فَأُقْتَلُ فِي ٱلشَّوَارِعِ!». |
| BSB 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it. | SVD 14 فَمُ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيَّاتِ هُوَّةٌ عَمِيقَةٌ. مَمْقُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسْقُطُ فِيهَا. |
| BSB 15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him. | SVD 15 اَلْجَهَالَةُ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِقَلْبِ ٱلْوَلَدِ. عَصَا ٱلتَّأْدِيبِ تُبْعِدُهَا عَنْهُ. |
| BSB 16 Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself or giving gifts to the rich will surely lead to poverty. | SVD 16 ظَالِمُ ٱلْفَقِيرِ تَكْثِيرًا لِمَا لَهُ، وَمُعْطِي ٱلْغَنِيِّ، إِنَّمَا هُمَا لِلْعَوَزِ. |
| BSB 17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise—apply your mind to my knowledge— | SVD 17 أَمِلْ أُذْنَكَ وَٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ، وَوَجِّهْ قَلْبَكَ إِلَى مَعْرِفَتِي، |
| BSB 18 for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips. | SVD 18 لِأَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ إِنْ حَفِظْتَهَا فِي جَوْفِكَ، إِنْ تَتَثَبَّتْ جَمِيعًا عَلَى شَفَتَيْكَ. |
| BSB 19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you. | SVD 19 لِيَكُونَ ٱتِّكَالُكَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، عَرَّفْتُكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ. |
| BSB 20 Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge, | SVD 20 أَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ لَكَ أُمُورًا شَرِيفَةً مِنْ جِهَةِ مُؤَامَرَةٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ؟ |
| BSB 21 to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you? | SVD 21 لِأُعَلِّمَكَ قِسْطَ كَلَامِ ٱلْحَقِّ، لِتَرُدَّ جَوَابَ ٱلْحَقِّ لِلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُوكَ. |
| BSB 22 Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate, | SVD 22 لَا تَسْلُبِ ٱلْفَقِيرَ لِكَوْنِهِ فَقِيرًا، وَلَا تَسْحَقِ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، |
| BSB 23 for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them. | SVD 23 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُقِيمُ دَعْوَاهُمْ، وَيَسْلُبُ سَالِبِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ. |
| BSB 24 Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man, | SVD 24 لَاتَسْتَصْحِبْ غَضُوبًا، وَمَعَ رَجُلٍ سَاخِطٍ لَاتَجِيءْ، |
| BSB 25 or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. | SVD 25 لِئَلَّا تَأْلَفَ طُرُقَهُ، وَتَأْخُذَ شَرَكًا إِلَى نَفْسِكَ. |
| BSB 26 Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts. | SVD 26 لَا تَكُنْ مِنْ صَافِقِي ٱلْكَفِّ، وَلَا مِنْ ضَامِنِي ٱلدُّيُونِ. |
| BSB 27 If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you? | SVD 27 إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ مَا تَفِي، فَلِمَاذَا يَأْخُذُ فِرَاشَكَ مِنْ تَحْتِكَ؟ |
| BSB 28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone which your fathers have placed. | SVD 28 لَا تَنْقُلِ ٱلتُّخْمَ ٱلْقَدِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعَهُ آبَاؤُكَ. |
| BSB 29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will be stationed in the presence of kings; he will not stand before obscure men. | SVD 29 أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا مُجْتَهِدًا فِي عَمَلِهِ؟ أَمَامَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ يَقِفُ. لَايَقِفُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّعَاعِ! |
