প্রবচন 4
Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;
for I give you sound learning. Do not forsake my law.
For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child 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।”
He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.
Get wisdom. Get understanding. Do not forget, neither swerve 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।
Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will 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।
Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
8 ৮ প্রজ্ঞাক সস্নেহে প্রতিপালন কৰা, তেওঁ তোমাক উচ্চ স্হানত স্হাপন কৰিব; তুমি তেওঁক আঁকোৱালি ধৰিলে, তেওঁ তোমাক আদৰ কৰিব।
Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.
She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you."
Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.
I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths.
12 ১২ তুমি যেতিয়া খোজ দিবা, তেতিয়া কোনো এজনেও তোমাৰ পথত থিয় নহ’ব; আৰু তুমি দৌৰ মাৰিলেও উজুটি নাখাবা।
When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble.
Take firm hold of instruction. Do not let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.
Do not enter into the path of the wicked. Do not walk in the way of evil men.
Avoid it, and do not pass 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 do not sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the righteous is like a shining light, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
The way of the wicked is like darkness. They do not know what they stumble over.
My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.
Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep 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 him who finds them, and health to all of his body.
Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.
Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.
Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you.
Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.
Do not turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.
