প্রবচন 3
My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
3 ৩ বিশ্বাসযোগ্য আৰু নিৰ্ভৰযোগ্য গুৰুত্বপূর্ণ প্ৰতিশ্রুতিয়ে তোমাক কেতিয়াও ত্যাগ নকৰক; দুয়োকো তুমি ডিঙিত বান্ধি ৰাখিবা, আৰু তোমাৰ হৃদয় ফলিত সেইবোৰ লিখি থ’বা।
Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favour, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
Honour the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
My son, don’t despise the LORD’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
12 ১২ পিতৃক সন্তুষ্ট কৰা পুত্রক যেনেকৈ পিতৃয়ে প্রেম কৰে; ঈশ্বৰেও যি জনক প্ৰেম কৰে, সেই জনক তেনেকৈ অনুযোগ কৰে।
for whom the LORD loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
15 ১৫ প্রজ্ঞা অলঙ্কাৰতকৈয়ো বহুমূলীয়া; আৰু তোমাৰ অভিলাষৰ কোনো বস্তুকেই প্রজ্ঞাৰ লগত তুলনা কৰিব নোৱাৰি।
She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honour.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
18 ১৮ যিসকলে তেওঁক ধৰি ৰাখে, তেওঁলোকৰ বাবে তেওঁ জীৱনদায়ক বৃক্ষস্বৰূপ; আৰু যি সকলে তেওঁক ধৰি ৰাখে তেওঁলোক সুখী।
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
19 ১৯ যিহোৱাই প্রজ্ঞাৰ দ্বাৰাই পৃথিৱী স্থাপন কৰিলে, আৰু সুবুদ্ধিৰ দ্বাৰাই আকাশ-মণ্ডল প্রতিষ্ঠা কৰিলে।
By wisdom the LORD founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
21 ২১ হে মোৰ পুত্র, তুমি সেই সকলোকে তোমাৰ দৃষ্টিৰ পৰা আতৰ হ’বলৈ নিদিবা; তুমি ন্যায় বিচাৰ আৰু বিচক্ষনতা ধৰি ৰাখিবা।
My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 ২৮ যেতিয়া তোমাৰ হাতত ধন থাকে, তেতিয়া ওচৰ চুবুৰীয়াক “যোৱা, পুনৰ আহিবা, মই কাইলৈ তোমাক দিম,” এইদৰে নক’বা
Don’t say to your neighbour, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
29 ২৯ যি জনে তোমাক বিশ্বাস কৰে আৰু তোমাৰ ওচৰত থাকে, সেই ওচৰ চুবুৰীয়াক অনিষ্ট কৰিবলৈ পৰিকল্পনা নকৰিবা।
Don’t devise evil against your neighbour, since he dwells securely by you.
Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.
The LORD’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
