প্রবচন 31
The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 ৪ হে লমুৱেল, এইটো ৰজাসকলৰ বাবে নহয়, ৰজাসকলৰ বাবে সুৰা পান কৰা উপযুক্ত নহয়; অথবা “সুৰা ক’ত আছে?” বুলি শাসনকৰ্ত্তাই সোধা অনুচিত;
It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
5 ৫ তেওঁলোকে পান কৰিব আৰু বিধানত কি আছে তাক পাহৰিব, আৰু সকলো দুৰ্দশাগ্রস্ত লোকৰ অধিকাৰক বিপথগামী কৰিব।
lest they drink, and forget the decree, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
Who can find a worthy woman? For her value is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
15 ১৫ তেওঁ ৰাতিপুৱা নহওঁতেই সাৰ পায়, আৰু ঘৰৰ সকলোকে খাবলৈ আহাৰ দিয়ে, আৰু তেওঁ নিজৰ দাসীসকলক কাম ভগাই দিয়ে।
She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
16 ১৬ তেওঁ খেতি পথাৰৰ বিষয়ে বিবেচনা কৰে, আৰু মাটি কিনি লয়; তেওঁ নিজৰ হাতৰ শ্ৰমৰ ফলেৰে দ্ৰাক্ষাবাৰী পাতে।
She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn’t go out by night.
She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits amongst the elders of the land.
24 ২৪ তেওঁ শণ সুতাৰ বস্ত্ৰ প্ৰস্তুত কৰে, আৰু বিক্রী কৰে, আৰু তেওঁ ব্যৱসায়ী সকলক পাগুৰিৰ কাপোৰ যোগান ধৰে।
She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom. Kind instruction is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn’t eat the bread of idleness.
28 ২৮ তেওঁৰ সন্তান সকলে সাৰ পায়, আৰু যি বস্তুৱে সিহঁতক সুখী কৰিব পাৰে, তেনে তেওঁ সিহঁতক দিয়ে। তেওঁৰ স্বামীয়ে তেওঁক প্ৰশংসা কৰি কয়,
Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
“Many women do noble things, but you excel them all.”
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!
