প্রবচন 30
The words of Agur, the son of Jakeh, from Massa. The man says: I am full of weariness, O God, I am full of weariness; O God, I have come to an end:
For I am more like a beast than any man, I have no power of reasoning like a man:
I have not got wisdom by teaching, so that I might have the knowledge of the Holy One.
4 ৪ কোন স্বৰ্গলৈ উঠি গৈছিল, আৰু নামি আহিছিল? কোনে নিজৰ হাতৰ মুঠিত বতাহ ধৰিছিল? কোনে জল সমূহক বান্ধি লুকুৱাই ৰাখিছিল? কোনে পৃথিবীৰ সকলো সীমা স্থাপন কৰিছিল? তেওঁৰ নাম কি? আৰু তেওঁৰ পুত্ৰৰ নাম কি? নিশ্চয় তুমি জানা!
Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?
Every word of God is tested: he is a breastplate to those who put their faith in him.
6 ৬ তেওঁৰ বাক্যৰ লগত একো যোগ নিদিবা; নহ’লে তেওঁ তোমাক তিৰস্কাৰ কৰিব, আৰু তুমি মিছলীয়া বুলি প্রমাণিত হবা।
Make no addition to his words, or he will make clear your error, and you will be seen to be false.
I have made request to you for two things; do not keep them from me before my death:
8 ৮ অহংকাৰ আৰু মিছা কথা মোৰ পৰা দূৰ কৰা; মোক দৰিদ্ৰ নাইবা ধনৱান নকৰিবা; কেৱল মোৰ প্রয়োজনীয় আহাৰ মোক দিয়া।
Put far from me all false and foolish things: do not give me great wealth or let me be in need, but give me only enough food:
9 ৯ কাৰণ মোৰ যদি অতিৰিক্ত থাকে, তেনেহ’লে মই তোমাক অস্বীকাৰ কৰিম আৰু ক’ম, “যিহোৱা নো কোন?” বা মই যদি দৰিদ্ৰ হওঁ আৰু চুৰ কৰোঁ, তেনেহ’লে মোৰ ঈশ্বৰৰ নাম মই অপবিত্র কৰিম।
For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly.
Do not say evil of a servant to his master, or he will put a curse on you, and you will get into trouble.
There is a generation who put a curse on their father, and do not give a blessing to their mother.
There is a generation who seem to themselves to be free from sin, but are not washed from their unclean ways.
There is a generation, O how full of pride are their eyes! O how their brows are lifted up!
14 ১৪ তেওঁলোক এনে বংশ; যিসকলৰ দাঁত তৰোৱালৰ দৰে, আৰু গালৰ হাড় ছুৰিৰ দৰে, সেয়ে তেওঁলোকে দেশৰ পৰা দৰিদ্ৰ সকলক আৰু মানুহৰ মাজৰ পৰা অভাৱী সকলক গ্রাস কৰিব পাৰে।
There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, their strong teeth like knives, for the destruction of the poor from the earth, and of those who are in need from among men.
15 ১৫ জোকৰ দুজনী জীয়েক আছে; “দিয়া দিয়া” বুলি তেওঁলোকে কান্দে। তিনিটা বিষয় আছে, যি কেতিয়াও সন্তুষ্ট নহয়, চতুৰ্থ বিষয়ে কেতিয়াও নকয় “যথেষ্ট হ’ল”
The night-spirit has two daughters, Give, give. There are three things which are never full, even four which never say, Enough:
16 ১৬ চিয়োল, বাঁজী তিৰোতাৰ গৰ্ভ, পানীৰ বাবে তৃষ্ণাতুৰ হোৱা মাটি, আৰু জুইয়ে কেতিয়াও নকয়, “যথেষ্ট হ’ল।” (Sheol h7585)
The underworld, and the woman without a child; the earth which never has enough water, and the fire which never says, Enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 ১৭ যি চকুৱে নিজৰ পিতৃক উপহাস কৰে, আৰু মাতৃৰ আজ্ঞা পালন কৰিবলৈ ঘিণ কৰে, তেওঁৰ চকু উপত্যকাৰ কাউৰীবোৰৰ দ্বাৰাই কাঢ়ি উলিওৱা হ’ব, আৰু শগুণে তেওঁক খাব।
The eye which makes sport of a father, and sees no value in a mother when she is old will be rooted out by the ravens of the valley, and be food for the young eagles.
There are three things, the wonder of which overcomes me, even four things outside my knowledge:
19 ১৯ ঈগলে আকাশত উৰে; সাপে শিলত বগায়; জাহাজে সমুদ্রৰ মাজত গতি কৰে, আৰু পুৰুষে মহিলাৰ সৈতে জীৱনধাৰণ কৰে।
The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a snake on a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a girl.
This is the way of a false wife; she takes food, and, cleaning her mouth, says, I have done no wrong.
For three things the earth is moved, and there are four which it will not put up with:
A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;
A hated woman when she is married; and a servant-girl who takes the place of her master's wife.
There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are very wise:
The ants are a people not strong, but they put by a store of food in the summer;
The conies are only a feeble people, but they make their houses in the rocks;
The locusts have no king, but they all go out in bands;
You may take the lizard in your hands, but it is in kings' houses.
There are three things whose steps are good to see, even four whose goings are fair:
The lion, which is strongest among beasts, not turning from his way for any;
The war-horse, and the he-goat, and the king when his army is with him.
32 ৩২ তুমি যদি অজ্ঞানী হোৱা, তেনেহ’লে তুমি নিজকে প্রশংসা কৰা, বা যদি তুমি কু-কল্পনা কৰা, তেনেহ’লে তোমাৰ মুখত তোমাৰ হাত দিয়া।
If you have done foolishly in lifting yourself up, or if you have had evil designs, put your hand over your mouth.
The shaking of milk makes butter, and the twisting of the nose makes blood come: so the forcing of wrath is a cause of fighting.
