প্রবচন 4
Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
For I give you a good gift; forsake you not my law.
For I also was a son obedient to [my] father, and loved 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।”
who spoke and instructed me, [saying], Let our speech be fixed in your heart, keep [our] commandments, forget them not:
and do not neglect the speech of my mouth.
6 ৬ প্ৰজ্ঞাক ত্যাগ নকৰিবা, তেতিয়া তেওঁ তোমাৰ ওপৰত দৃষ্টি ৰাখিব; তেওঁক প্ৰেম কৰা, আৰু তেওঁ তোমাক সুৰক্ষিত কৰি ৰাখিব।
And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to you: love it, and it shall keep you.
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।
8 ৮ প্রজ্ঞাক সস্নেহে প্রতিপালন কৰা, তেওঁ তোমাক উচ্চ স্হানত স্হাপন কৰিব; তুমি তেওঁক আঁকোৱালি ধৰিলে, তেওঁ তোমাক আদৰ কৰিব।
Secure it, and it shall exalt you: honor it, that it may embrace you;
that it may give to your head a crown of graces, and may cover you with a crown of delight.
Hear, [my] son, and receive my words; and the years of your life shall be increased, that the resources of your life may be many.
For I teach you the ways of wisdom; and I cause you to go in right paths.
12 ১২ তুমি যেতিয়া খোজ দিবা, তেতিয়া কোনো এজনেও তোমাৰ পথত থিয় নহ’ব; আৰু তুমি দৌৰ মাৰিলেও উজুটি নাখাবা।
For when you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you run, you shall not be distressed.
Take hold of my instruction; let it not go, —but keep it for yourself for your life.
Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors.
In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not there; but turn from them, and pass away.
16 ১৬ কাৰণ তেওঁলোকে কুকৰ্ম নকৰালৈকে তেওঁলোকৰ টোপনি নাহে, আৰু তেওঁলোকে কোনো লোকক উজুটি নোখোৱালৈকে তেওঁলোকৰ টোপনি নাহে।
For they can’t sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not.
For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression.
But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come.
But the ways of the ungodly are dark; they know not how they stumble.
[My] son, attend to my speech; and apply your ear to my words:
that your fountains may not fail you; keep them in [your] heart.
22 ২২ কাৰণ যিসকলে সেইবোৰ বিচাৰি পায়, তেওঁলোকৰ বাবে মোৰ বাক্য জীৱনস্বৰূপ, আৰু তেওঁলোকৰ সৰ্ব্বশৰীৰলৈ সুস্বাস্থ্যস্বৰূপ।
For they are life to those that find them, and health to all [their] flesh.
Keep your heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life.
Remove from you a froward mouth, and put far away from you unjust lips.
Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids assent [to] just [things].
Make straight paths for your feet, and order your ways aright.
Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away your foot from an evil way.
