প্রবচন 4
Hear, you sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.
For I have given to you good learning, do not forsake my law.
For I have been a son to my father—tender, And an only one before 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 directs me, and he says to me: “Let your heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.
Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.
6 ৬ প্ৰজ্ঞাক ত্যাগ নকৰিবা, তেতিয়া তেওঁ তোমাৰ ওপৰত দৃষ্টি ৰাখিব; তেওঁক প্ৰেম কৰা, আৰু তেওঁ তোমাক সুৰক্ষিত কৰি ৰাখিব।
Do not forsake her, and she preserves you, Love her, and she keeps 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।
The first thing [is] wisdom—get wisdom, And with all your 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 lifts you up, She honors you when you embrace her.
She gives a wreath of grace to your head, She gives you a crown of beauty freely.”
Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life [are] multiplied to you.
I have directed you in a way of wisdom, I have caused you to tread in paths of uprightness.
12 ১২ তুমি যেতিয়া খোজ দিবা, তেতিয়া কোনো এজনেও তোমাৰ পথত থিয় নহ’ব; আৰু তুমি দৌৰ মাৰিলেও উজুটি নাখাবা।
In your walking your step is not restricted, And if you run, you do not stumble.
Lay hold on instruction, do not desist, Keep her, for she [is] your life.
Do not enter into the path of the wicked, And do not be blessed in a way of evildoers.
Avoid it, do not pass over into it, Turn aside 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 do not sleep if they do no evil, And their sleep has been taken away violently, If they do not cause [some] to stumble.
For they have eaten bread of wickedness, And they drink wine of violence.
And the path of the righteous [is] as a shining light, Going and brightening until the day is established,
The way of the wicked [is] as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.
My son, give attention to my words, Incline your ear to my sayings,
Do not let them turn aside from your eyes, Preserve them in the midst of your heart.
22 ২২ কাৰণ যিসকলে সেইবোৰ বিচাৰি পায়, তেওঁলোকৰ বাবে মোৰ বাক্য জীৱনস্বৰূপ, আৰু তেওঁলোকৰ সৰ্ব্বশৰীৰলৈ সুস্বাস্থ্যস্বৰূপ।
For they [are] life to those finding them, And healing to all their flesh.
Above every charge keep your heart, For out of it [are] the outgoings of life.
Turn aside a contrary mouth from you, And put perverse lips far from you,
Your eyes look straightforward, And your eyelids look straight before you.
Ponder the path of your feet, And all your ways [are] established.
Do not incline [to] the right or to the left, Turn aside your foot from evil!
