প্রবচন 8
Does not Wisdom call out? Does not Understanding raise her voice?
On the hilltops beside the road, at the crossroads, Wisdom has taken her stand.
Before the gates at the entrance into the city, at the entrances into the city, she calls out.
“It is to you, people, that I call; my voice is for the sons of mankind.
5 ৫ যিসকল শিক্ষিত নহয়, তেওঁলোকে সুবুদ্ধিক বুজা উচিত, আৰু যিসকলে জ্ঞানক ঘিণ কৰে, তেওঁলোকৰ সুবিবেচনাৰ হৃদয় থকা উচিত।
You who are naive, learn wisdom; and you who are foolish, you must get an understanding mind.
Listen, because I will speak of noble things, and when my lips open I will say upright things.
For my mouth speaks what is trustworthy, and wickedness is disgusting to my lips.
All the words of my mouth are just; in them is nothing twisted or misleading.
9 ৯ যি সকলে বুজি পাই, তেওঁলোকৰ কাৰণে মোৰ কথাবোৰ স্পষ্ট; যি সকলে জ্ঞান লাভ কৰে, তেওঁলোকৰ কাৰণে মোৰ কথাবোৰ সত্য।
All of them are straight for the person who understands; my words are upright for those who find knowledge.
Acquire my instruction rather than silver; acquire knowledge rather than pure gold.
For Wisdom is better than jewels; no treasure is equal to her.
I, Wisdom, live with Prudence, and I possess knowledge and discretion.
The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride and arrogance, the evil way, and perverted speech. I hate them.
I have good advice and sound wisdom; I am insight; strength belongs to me.
15 ১৫ মোৰ দ্বাৰাই ৰজাসকলে ৰাজত্ব কৰে, অভিজাত লোকসকল আৰু ন্যায়েৰে যিসকল লোকে শাসন কৰে, সেইসকলো মোৰেই।
By me kings reign, and rulers make laws that are just.
By me princes rule, nobles, and all who govern with justice.
17 ১৭ যিসকলে মোক প্ৰেম কৰে, ময়ো তেওঁলোকক প্ৰেম কৰোঁ, আৰু যিসকলে মোক আগ্রহেৰে বিচাৰে, তেওঁলোকে মোক বিচাৰি পায়।
I love those who love me, and those who diligently seek me, find me.
With me are riches and honor, lasting wealth and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold; my produce is better than pure silver.
I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice.
As a result, I make those who love me inherit wealth; I fill up their treasuries.
Yahweh created me at the beginning, the first of his deeds then.
In ages long ago I was made—from the first, from the beginnings of the earth.
Before there were oceans, I was given birth— before there were springs abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled and before the hills, I was born.
26 ২৬ যিহোৱাই পৃথিৱী বা পথাৰবোৰ সৃষ্টিৰ কৰাৰ আগতে, এনেকি পৃথিৱীত উৎপন্ন হোৱা প্রথম ধূলিৰ আগতে মোৰ জন্ম হৈছিল।
I was born before Yahweh had made the earth or the fields, or even the first dust in the world.
27 ২৭ তেওঁ স্বৰ্গ স্থাপন কৰা সময়ত, আৰু তেওঁ অগাধ জলত দিগন্তৰ সীমা নিৰূপণ কৰোঁতে, মই সেই ঠাইত আছিলোঁ।
I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew a circle on the surface of the deep.
28 ২৮ তেওঁ যেতিয়া আকাশ-মণ্ডল স্থাপন কৰিছিল, আৰু যেতিয়া গভীৰ ভুমুকবোৰ সৃষ্টি কৰিছিল, তেতিয়া মই সেই ঠাইত আছিলোঁ।
I was there when he established the clouds above and when the springs in the deep became fixed.
29 ২৯ সাগৰ সীমা নিৰূপণ কৰাৰ আগেয়ে মই সেই ঠাইত আছিলোঁ, সেয়ে সাগৰৰ পানী তেওঁ আজ্ঞা কৰা ঠাইৰ বাহিৰে আন ঠাইত যেন প্লাৱিত নহয়। আৰু যেতিয়া তেওঁ পৃথিবীৰ মূল ক’ত স্থাপন হব আদেশ দিছিল।
I was there when he made his limit for the sea, so the waters should not spread beyond his command, and when there was set the limit for the foundations of the dry land.
30 ৩০ তেতিয়া মই তেওঁৰ লগত প্ৰধান শিল্পকাৰ ৰূপে আছিলোঁ, আৰু মই দিনৰ পাচত দিন তেওঁত আনন্দ কৰিছিলোঁ, সদায় তেওঁৰ আগত প্রশংসা কৰিছিলোঁ।
I was beside him, as a skilled craftsman; I was his delight day after day, always rejoicing before him.
I was rejoicing in his whole world, and my delight was in the sons of mankind.
Now, my sons, listen to me, for those who keep my ways will be blessed.
Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not neglect it.
34 ৩৪ যিজনে মোৰ কথা শুনে, তেওঁ আনন্দিত হ’ব- মোৰ দুৱাৰত প্রতি দিনে পৰ দি থাকিব, মোৰ ঘৰৰ দুৱাৰৰ কাষত মোৰ বাবে অপেক্ষা কৰি থাকিব।
The one who listens to me will be blessed. He will be watching every day at my doors, waiting beside the posts of my doors.
For whoever finds me, finds life, and he will find the favor of Yahweh.
36 ৩৬ কিন্তু যি জনে মোক বিচাৰি নাপায়, তেওঁ নিজৰ অনিষ্ট কৰে। যিসকলোৱে মোক ঘিণ কৰে, তেওঁলোকে মৃত্যুক ভাল পায়।”
But he who fails, harms his own life; all who hate me love death.”
