প্রবচন 4
Hear, [my] sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:
For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.
For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 ৪ তেওঁ মোক শিকাইছিল আৰু মোক কৈছিল, “তোমাৰ হৃদয়ত মোৰ বাক্য ধৰি ৰাখা; মোৰ আজ্ঞাবোৰ পালন কৰা আৰু জীৱন ধাৰণ কৰা।”
And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;
Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
6 ৬ প্ৰজ্ঞাক ত্যাগ নকৰিবা, তেতিয়া তেওঁ তোমাৰ ওপৰত দৃষ্টি ৰাখিব; তেওঁক প্ৰেম কৰা, আৰু তেওঁ তোমাক সুৰক্ষিত কৰি ৰাখিব।
Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.
7 ৭ প্ৰজ্ঞা হৈছে অতি গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ বিষয়, সেয়ে প্ৰজ্ঞা অৰ্জন কৰা; আৰু তুমি অৰ্জন কৰা প্রজ্ঞাক সকলোতে ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা, তাতে তুমি বিবেচনা শক্তি লাভ কৰিবা।
Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.
8 ৮ প্রজ্ঞাক সস্নেহে প্রতিপালন কৰা, তেওঁ তোমাক উচ্চ স্হানত স্হাপন কৰিব; তুমি তেওঁক আঁকোৱালি ধৰিলে, তেওঁ তোমাক আদৰ কৰিব।
Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace; A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many.
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in paths of uprightness.
12 ১২ তুমি যেতিয়া খোজ দিবা, তেতিয়া কোনো এজনেও তোমাৰ পথত থিয় নহ’ব; আৰু তুমি দৌৰ মাৰিলেও উজুটি নাখাবা।
When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life.
Enter not into the path of the wicked, And walk not in the way of evil men.
Avoid it, pass not by it; Turn from it, and pass on.
16 ১৬ কাৰণ তেওঁলোকে কুকৰ্ম নকৰালৈকে তেওঁলোকৰ টোপনি নাহে, আৰু তেওঁলোকে কোনো লোকক উজুটি নোখোৱালৈকে তেওঁলোকৰ টোপনি নাহে।
For they sleep not, except they do evil; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
The way of the wicked is as darkness: They know not at what they stumble.
My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart.
22 ২২ কাৰণ যিসকলে সেইবোৰ বিচাৰি পায়, তেওঁলোকৰ বাবে মোৰ বাক্য জীৱনস্বৰূপ, আৰু তেওঁলোকৰ সৰ্ব্বশৰীৰলৈ সুস্বাস্থ্যস্বৰূপ।
For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.
Put away from thee a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee.
Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established.
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.
