 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEProverbs:22Biblia Hebraica (Stuttgartensia) | BHS (pdf - 3.5mb)  

1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favour is better than silver or gold.
 נִבְחָר שֵׁם מֵעֹשֶׁר רָב מִכֶּסֶף וּמִזָּהָב חֵן טֹוב׃
2 The rich and the poor meet together;
Yahweh is the maker of them all.
 עָשִׁיר וָרָשׁ נִפְגָּשׁוּ עֹשֵׂה כֻלָּם יְהוָה׃
3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself;
but the simple go on, and suffer for it.
 עָרוּם רָאָה רָעָה [כ= וְיִסָּתֵר] [ק= וְנִסְתָּר] וּפְתָיִים עָבְרוּ וְנֶעֱנָשׁוּ׃
4 The reward for humility and fear of Yahweh
is riches and honour and life.
 עֵקֶב עֲנָוָה יִרְאַת יְהוָה עֹשֶׁר וְכָבֹוד וְחַיִּים׃
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
he who guards himself will keep far from them.
 צִנִּים פַּחִים בְּדֶרֶךְ עִקֵּשׁ שֹׁומֵר נַפְשֹׁו יִרְחַק מֵהֶם׃
6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it.
 חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל־פִּי דַרְכֹּו גַּם כִּי־יַזְקִין לֹא־יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה׃
7 The rich rules over the poor,
and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
 עָשִׁיר בְּרָשִׁים יִמְשֹׁול וְעֶבֶד לֹוֶה לְאִישׁ מַלְוֶה׃
8 He who sows injustice will reap calamity,
and the rod of his fury will fail.
 זֹורֵעַ עַוְלָה [כ= יִקְצֹור] [ק= יִקְצָר]־אָוֶן וְשֵׁבֶט עֶבְרָתֹו יִכְלֶה׃
9 He who has a bountiful eye will be blessed,
for he shares his bread with the poor.
 טֹוב־עַיִן הוּא יְבֹרָךְ כִּי־נָתַן מִלַּחְמֹו לַדָּל׃
10 Drive out a scoffer, and strife will go out,
and quarreling and abuse will cease.
 גָּרֵשׁ לֵץ וְיֵצֵא מָדֹון וְיִשְׁבֹּת דִּין וְקָלֹון׃
11 He who loves purity of heart,
and whose speech is gracious,
will have the king as his friend.
 אֹהֵב [כ= טְהֹור] [ק= טְהָר]־לֵב חֵן שְׂפָתָיו רֵעֵהוּ מֶלֶךְ׃
12 The eyes of Yahweh keep watch over knowledge,
but he overthrows the words of the faithless.
 עֵינֵי יְהוָה נָצְרוּ דָעַת וַיְסַלֵּף דִּבְרֵי בֹגֵד׃
13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!
I shall be slain in the streets!"
 אָמַר עָצֵל אֲרִי בַחוּץ בְּתֹוךְ רְחֹבֹות אֵרָצֵחַ׃
14 The mouth of a loose woman is a deep pit;
he with whom Yahweh is angry will fall into it.
 שׁוּחָה עֲמֻקָּה פִּי זָרֹות זְעוּם יְהוָה [כ= יִפֹּול] [ק= יִפָּל]־שָׁם׃
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
 אִוֶּלֶת קְשׁוּרָה בְלֶב־נָעַר שֵׁבֶט מוּסָר יַרְחִיקֶנָּה מִמֶּנּוּ׃
16 He who oppresses the poor
to increase his own wealth,
or gives to the rich,
will only come to want.
 עֹשֵׁק דָּל לְהַרְבֹּות לֹו נֹתֵן לְעָשִׁיר אַךְ־לְמַחְסֹור׃
17 Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply your mind to my knowledge;
THE THIRTY WISE SAYINGS. Pr.22.17-24.22הַט אָזְנְךָ וּשְׁמַע דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים וְלִבְּךָ תָּשִׁית לְדַעְתִּי׃
18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
if all of them are ready on your lips.
 כִּי־נָעִים כִּי־תִשְׁמְרֵם בְּבִטְנֶךָ יִכֹּנוּ יַחְדָּו עַל־שְׂפָתֶיךָ׃
19 That your trust may be in Yahweh,
I have made them known to you today, even to you.
 לִהְיֹות בַּיהוָה מִבְטַחֶךָ הֹודַעְתִּיךָ הַיֹּום אַף־אָתָּה׃
20 Have I not written for you thirty sayings of admonition and knowledge,
 הֲלֹא כָתַבְתִּי לְךָ [כ= שִׁלְשֹׁום] [ק= שָׁלִישִׁים] בְּמֹועֵצֹת וָדָעַת׃
21 to show you what is right and true,
that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?
 לְהֹודִיעֲךָ קֹשְׁטְ אִמְרֵי אֱמֶת לְהָשִׁיב אֲמָרִים אֱמֶת לְשֹׁלְחֶיךָ׃ ף
22 Do not rob the poor, because he is poor,
or crush the afflicted at the gate;
 אַל־תִּגְזָל־דָּל כִּי דַל־הוּא וְאַל־תְּדַכֵּא עָנִי בַשָּׁעַר׃
23 for Yahweh will plead their cause
and despoil of life those who despoil them.
 כִּי־יְהוָה יָרִיב רִיבָם וְקָבַע אֶת־קֹבְעֵיהֶם נָפֶשׁ׃
24 Make no friendship with a man given to anger,
nor go with a wrathful man,
 אַל־תִּתְרַע אֶת־בַּעַל אָף וְאֶת־אִישׁ חֵמֹות לֹא תָבֹוא׃
25 lest you learn his ways
and entangle yourself in a snare.
 פֶּן־תֶּאֱלַף [כ= אָרְחָתֹו] [ק= אֹרְחֹתָיו] וְלָקַחְתָּ מֹוקֵשׁ לְנַפְשֶׁךָ׃
26 Be not one of those who give pledges,
who become surety for debts.
 אַל־תְּהִי בְתֹקְעֵי־כָף בַּעֹרְבִים מַשָּׁאֹות׃
27 If you have nothing with which to pay,
why should your bed be taken from under you?
 אִם־אֵין־לְךָ לְשַׁלֵּם לָמָּה יִקַּח מִשְׁכָּבְךָ מִתַּחְתֶּיךָ׃
28 Remove not the ancient landmark
which your fathers have set.
 אַל־תַּסֵּג גְּבוּל עֹולָם אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבֹותֶיךָ׃
29 Do you see a men skilful in his work?
he will stand before kings;
he will not stand before obscure men.
 חָזִיתָ אִישׁ מָהִיר בִּמְלַאכְתֹּו לִפְנֵי־מְלָכִים יִתְיַצָּב בַּל־יִתְיַצֵּב לִפְנֵי חֲשֻׁכִּים׃ ף

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
