Proverbs 27
| Berean Standard Bible tier 2 | Smith–Van Dyck tier 2 |
|---|---|
| BSB 1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. | SVD 1 لَا تَفْتَخِرْ بِٱلْغَدِ لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَعْلَمُ مَاذَا يَلِدُهُ يَوْمٌ. |
| BSB 2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—a stranger, and not your own lips. | SVD 2 لِيَمْدَحْكَ ٱلْغَرِيبُ لَا فَمُكَ، ٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ لَا شَفَتَاكَ. |
| BSB 3 A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both. | SVD 3 اَلْحَجَرُ ثَقِيلٌ وَٱلرَّمْلُ ثَقِيلٌ، وَغَضَبُ ٱلْجَاهِلِ أَثْقَلُ مِنْهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا. |
| BSB 4 Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy? | SVD 4 اَلْغَضَبُ قَسَاوَةٌ وَٱلسَّخَطُ جُرَافٌ، وَمَنْ يَقِفُ قُدَّامَ ٱلْحَسَدِ؟ |
| BSB 5 Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed. | SVD 5 اَلتَّوْبِيخُ ٱلظَّاهِرُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلْحُبِّ ٱلْمُسْتَتِرِ. |
| BSB 6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. | SVD 6 أَمِينَةٌ هِيَ جُرُوحُ ٱلْمُحِبِّ، وَغَاشَّةٌ هِيَ قُبْلَاتُ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. |
| BSB 7 The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet. | SVD 7 اَلنَّفْسُ ٱلشَّبْعَانَةُ تَدُوسُ ٱلْعَسَلَ، وَلِلنَّفْسِ ٱلْجَائِعَةِ كُلُّ مُرٍّ حُلْوٌ. |
| BSB 8 Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home. | SVD 8 مِثْلُ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ ٱلتَّائِهِ مِنْ عُشِّهِ، هَكَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلتَّائِهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. |
| BSB 9 Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the counsel of a friend is sweetness to the soul. | SVD 9 اَلدُّهْنُ وَٱلْبَخُورُ يُفَرِّحَانِ ٱلْقَلْبَ، وَحَلَاوَةُ ٱلصَّدِيقِ مِنْ مَشُورَةِ ٱلنَّفْسِ. |
| BSB 10 Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. | SVD 10 لَا تَتْرُكْ صَدِيقَكَ وَصَدِيقَ أَبِيكَ، وَلَا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَ أَخِيكَ فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِكَ. ٱلْجَارُ ٱلْقَرِيبُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَخِ ٱلْبَعِيدِ. |
| BSB 11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, so that I can answer him who taunts me. | SVD 11 يَا ٱبْنِي، كُنْ حَكِيمًا وَفَرِّحْ قَلْبِي، فَأُجِيبَ مَنْ يُعَيِّرُنِي كَلِمَةً. |
| BSB 12 The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. | SVD 12 ٱلذَّكِيُّ يُبْصِرُ ٱلشَّرَّ فَيَتَوَارَى. ٱلْأَغْبِيَاءُ يَعْبُرُونَ فَيُعَاقَبُونَ. |
| BSB 13 Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner. | SVD 13 خُذْ ثَوْبَهُ لِأَنَّهُ ضَمِنَ غَرِيبًا، وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَجَانِبِ ٱرْتَهِنَ مِنْهُ. |
| BSB 14 If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse. | SVD 14 مَنْ يُبَارِكُ قَرِيبَهُ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ بَاكِرًا، يُحْسَبُ لَهُ لَعْنًا. |
| BSB 15 A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike— | SVD 15 اَلْوَكْفُ ٱلْمُتَتَابِعُ فِي يَوْمٍ مُمْطِرٍ، وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلْمُخَاصِمَةُ سِيَّانِ، |
| BSB 16 restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand. | SVD 16 مَنْ يُخَبِّئُهَا يُخَبِّئُ ٱلرِّيحَ وَيَمِينُهُ تَقْبِضُ عَلَى زَيْتٍ! |
| BSB 17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | SVD 17 ٱلْحَدِيدُ بِٱلْحَدِيدِ يُحَدَّدُ، وَٱلْإِنْسَانُ يُحَدِّدُ وَجْهَ صَاحِبِهِ. |
| BSB 18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored. | SVD 18 مَنْ يَحْمِي تِينَةً يَأْكُلُ ثَمَرَتَهَا، وَحَافِظُ سَيِّدِهِ يُكْرَمُ. |
| BSB 19 As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man. | SVD 19 كَمَا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلْوَجْهُ لِلْوَجْهِ، كَذَلِكَ قَلْبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لِلْإِنْسَانِ. |
| BSB 20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. | SVD 20 اَلْهَاوِيَةُ وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لَا يَشْبَعَانِ، وَكَذَا عَيْنَا ٱلْإِنْسَانِ لَا تَشْبَعَانِ. |
| BSB 21 A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him. | SVD 21 اَلْبُوطَةُ لِلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلْكُورُ لِلذَّهَبِ، كَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِفَمِ مَادِحِهِ. |
| BSB 22 Though you grind a fool like grain with mortar and a pestle, yet his folly will not depart from him. | SVD 22 إِنْ دَقَقْتَ ٱلْأَحْمَقَ فِي هَاوُنٍ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّمِيذِ بِمِدَقٍّ، لَا تَبْرَحُ عَنْهُ حَمَاقَتُهُ. |
| BSB 23 Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds; | SVD 23 مَعْرِفَةً ٱعْرِفْ حَالَ غَنَمِكَ، وَٱجْعَلْ قَلْبَكَ إِلَى قُطْعَانِكَ، |
| BSB 24 for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation. | SVD 24 لِأَنَّ ٱلْغِنَى لَيْسَ بِدَائِمٍ، وَلَا ٱلتَّاجُ لِدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. |
| BSB 25 When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered, | SVD 25 فَنِيَ ٱلْحَشِيشُ وَظَهَرَ ٱلْعُشْبُ وَٱجْتَمَعَ نَبَاتُ ٱلْجِبَالِ. |
| BSB 26 the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. | SVD 26 ٱلْحُمْلَانُ لِلِبَاسِكَ، وَثَمَنُ حَقْلٍ أَعْتِدَةٌ. |
| BSB 27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed you—food for your household and nourishment for your maidservants. | SVD 27 وَكِفَايَةٌ مِنْ لَبَنِ ٱلْمَعْزِ لِطَعَامِكَ، لِقُوتِ بَيْتِكَ وَمَعِيشَةِ فَتَيَاتِكَ. |
