1 These also are mashalay (proverbs) of Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch), which the anashay (men) of Chazaqayah (Hezekiah) malak (king) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) ithaq (copied) out.
2 It is the kabawad (glory) of Alahayam () to sathar (conceal) a thing, but the kabawad (glory) of malakayam (kings) is to chaqar (search) out a dabar (word / matter).
3 As the shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens) for rawam (will lift up), and the aratz (Earth/land) for imaq (depth), so the lab (heart) of malakayam (kings) are unsearchable.
4 Take hagah (away) the sayag (dross) from the kasap (silver), and material yatzaa (go out / come out) out for the refiner;
5 Take hagah (away) the rashai (wicked) from the malak (king) panayam (face), and his kasaa (throne) will be kawan (established) in tzadaq (righteous / just / fair).
6 Don't exalt yourself in the panayam (face) of the malak (king), or claim a maqawam (place) among gadawal (very great/important/mighty) men;
7 For it is tawab (good / proper function) that it be amar (said) to you, “ilah (go up / offer) up here,” than that you should be shapal (put) lower in the panayam (face) of the nadayab (prince), whom your iyan (eye) raah (see / saw) seen.
8 Don't be hasty in yatzaa (go out / come out) charges to court. What will you ishah (make) in the acharayath (end) when your neighbor kalam (shames) you?
9 Rayab (debate) your case with your neighbor, and don't betray the confidence of achar (other);
10 Lest one who shamai (hearken / hear) it chasad (grace) you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.
11 A dabar (word / matter) fitly dabar (word / matter) is like thapawachay (apples) of zahab (gold) in settings of kasap (silver).
12 As an nazam (earring) of zahab (gold), and an chalay (ornament) of katham (fine) gold, so is a chakam (wise) yakach (reprover) to an shamai (hearken / hear) azan (ear).
13 As the tzanah (cold) of shalag (snow) in the yawam (day) of qatzayar (harvest), so is a aman (believe / have faith) tzayar (messenger) to those who shalach (send) him; for he refreshes the napash (soul) of his adawan (master / lord).
14 As nashayaayam (clouds) and rawach (spirit / wind) without gasham (rain), so is he who halal (praise) of mathath (gifts) deceptively.
15 By patience a qatzayan (ruler) is pathah (persuaded). A rak (soft) lashawan (tongue / language) shabar (breaks) the garam (bone).
16 Matzaa (have) you found dabash (honey)? Akal (eat) as much as is day (sufficient) for you, lest you eat too much, and qawaa (vomit) it.
17 Let your ragal (feet / foot) be seldom in your neighbor's bayath (house), lest he be shabai (weary) of you, and shanaa (hate) you.
18 A ayash (man / husband) who inah (answer / respond) shaqar (false) id (until / as far as) against his neighbor is like a club, a charab (sword), or a shanan (sharp) chatz (arrow).
19 Mabatach (confidence) in someone bagad (unfaithful) in yawam (day) of tzarah (trouble) is like a bad shan (tooth), or a lame ragal (feet / foot).
20 As one who idah (takes) away a bagad (garment) in qarah (cold) yawam (day), or chamatz (vinegar) on soda, so is one who shayar (sings) sharayam (songs) to a rai (heavy) lab (heart).
21 If your shanaa (hate) is raib (hungry), give him lacham (food) to akal (eat). If he is thirsty, give him mayam (Waters) to shaqah (drink):
22 For you will chathah (heap) gachalayam (coals) of fire on his raash (head), and Yahawah () will shalam (reward) you.
23 The tzapawan (north) rawach (spirit / wind) chawal (brings) forth gasham (rain): so a sathar (secret / hidden) lashawan (tongue / language) brings an zaim (angry) panayam (face).
24 It is tawab (good / proper function) to yashab (inhabit/dwell) in the panah (turn) of the housetop, than to share a bayath (house) with a madawan (contentious) ayashah (woman / wife).
25 Like qar (cold) mayam (Waters) to a iyap (thirsty) napash (soul), so is tawab (good / proper function) shamawaih (news) from a marachaq (far) aratz (Earth/land).
26 Like a muddied maiyan (spring), and a polluted maqawar (well), so is a tzadayaq (righteous) mawat (man) who gives way panayam (face) the rashai (wicked).
27 It is not tawab (good / proper function) to akal (eat) much dabash (honey); nor is it honorable to seek kabawad (one's) own honor.
28 Like a iyar (city) that is paratz (broken) down and without chawamah (walls) is a ayash (man / husband) whose rawach (spirit / wind) is without restraint.
