প্রবচন 21
1 ১ ৰজাৰ হৃদয় যিহোৱাৰ হাতৰ পৰা বৈ থকা পানীৰ দৰে; তেওঁ এই পানী যি দিশলৈ ইচ্ছা কৰে, সেই দিশলৈ বোৱায়।
The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turns it wherever he will.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD ponders the hearts.
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
5 ৫ পৰিশ্ৰমী লোকৰ কল্পনাই কেৱল উন্নতিলৈ লৈ যায়; কিন্তু যি সকলে খৰকৈ কাৰ্য কৰে, তেওঁলোকলৈ কেৱল দৰিদ্ৰতা আহে।
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenty; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
The way of man is fraudulent and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

The soul of the wicked desires evil: his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
11 ১১ যেতিয়া নিন্দক লোকে দণ্ড পায়, তেতিয়া অশিক্ষিত লোক জ্ঞানী হয়, আৰু যেতিয়া জ্ঞানী লোকে নিৰ্দেশ পায়, তেতিয়া তেওঁৰ জ্ঞান বৃদ্ধি হয়।
When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
12 ১২ যি জনে সৎ কাৰ্য কৰে, তেওঁ দুষ্ট লোকৰ ঘৰ পৰ্যবেক্ষণ কৰে; তেওঁ দুষ্ট লোকলৈ সৰ্ব্বনাশ কঢ়িয়াই আনে।
The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked: but God overthrows the wicked for their wickedness.
Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
A gift in secret pacifies anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15 ১৫ যেতিয়া ন্যায় বিচাৰ হয়, তেতিয়া ন্যায় কৰা জনে আনন্দ পায়; কিন্তু কুকৰ্ম কৰা জনলৈ সৰ্ব্বনাশ কঢ়িয়াই আনে।
It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
The man that wanders out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17 ১৭ যি মানুহে ৰং-ধেমালি কৰি ভাল পায়, তেওঁ দৰিদ্ৰ হ’ব; আৰু যি জনে দ্ৰাক্ষাৰস আৰু তেল ভাল পায় তেওঁ ধনৱান নহ’ব।
He that loves pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 ১৮ সৎ কাৰ্য কৰা লোকৰ বাবে দুষ্টলোকে প্রায়শ্চিত পায়; আৰু ন্যায়পৰায়ণ লোকৰ বাবে বিশ্বাসঘাতকৰ প্রায়শ্চিত হয়।
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spends it up.
He that follows after righteousness and mercy finds life, righteousness, and honor.
A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and casts down the strength of the confidence thereof.
Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who deals in proud wrath.
The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labor.
26 ২৬ ওৰে দিনটো তেওঁ অধিকতকৈ অধিক পাবলৈ আকাংক্ষা কৰে; কিন্তু সৎ কাৰ্য কৰা জনে দান দিয়ে, আৰু দান দিয়া বন্ধ নকৰে।
He covets greedily all the day long: but the righteous gives and spares not.
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind?
A false witness shall perish: but the man that hears speaks constantly.
A wicked man hardens his face: but as for the upright, he directs his way.
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
