Proverbs 26
1 Just [like] [SIM] [it is not appropriate for] snow [to fall] in summer time, or rain [to fall] at harvest time, it is not appropriate to praise/honor foolish people.
१उन्हाळ्यात जसे बर्फ किंवा कापणीच्यावेळी पाऊस, त्याचप्रमाणे मूर्खाला सन्मान शोभत नाही.
2 Like [SIM] birds that fly by [and do not alight/land on anything], if someone curses you, it cannot hurt you if you (do not deserve them/have not done to him what is wrong).
२जशी भटकणारी चिमणी आणि उडणारी निळवी, याप्रमाणे विनाकारण दिलेला शाप कोणावरही येत नाही.
3 It is necessary to whip a horse and to put a bridle on a donkey [to force them to go where we want them to go], and similarly [SIM] [it is often necessary to strike] foolish people with a stick [to cause them to do what is right].
३घोड्याला चाबूक, गाढवाला लगाम, आणि मूर्खाच्या पाठीला काठी आहे.
4 If a foolish person asks a foolish question, [do not answer him], because [if you answer his question], you are just as foolish as he is.
४मूर्खाला उत्तर देऊ नको आणि त्याच्या मूर्खपणात सामील होऊ नकोस, किंवा देशील तर तू त्यांच्यासारखाच होशील.
5 If you give a foolish answer to someone who asks a foolish question, he will realize that he is (not very wise/foolish).
५मूर्खाला उत्तर दे आणि त्याच्या मूर्खतेत सामील हो, नाहीतर तो आपल्या स्वतःच्या दृष्टीने शहाणा होईल.
6 Anyone who asks a foolish person to take a message to someone [is himself doing something as foolish as] cutting off his own feet or drinking poison.
६जो कोणी मूर्खाच्या हाती निरोप पाठवतो, तो आपले पाय कापून टाकतो आणि तो उपद्रव पितो.
7 A lame man cannot use his legs, and similarly [SIM] [it is useless for] a foolish person to speak [MTY] (proverbs/wise sayings).
७पांगळ्याचे पाय जसे खाली लोंबकळतात तसे मूर्खाच्या तोंडचे नीतिवचन आहे.
8 Tying a stone in a sling [so that it cannot be thrown at a target] is [as foolish as] [SIM] honoring a foolish person.
८मूर्खाला आदर देणारा, गोफणीत दगड बांधण्याऱ्यासारखा आहे.
9 If a drunk person waves some thorns/brambles with his hand, [he is not able to accomplish anything useful by doing that] (OR, [he does not feel it when a thorn sticks in his hand]); similarly, if foolish people speak [MTY] proverbs, [they do not help anyone who hears them].
९मूर्खाच्या तोंडचे नीतिवचन, झिंगलेल्याच्या हातात रुतलेल्या काट्यासारखे आहे.
10 A man who shoots arrows [to try] to wound everybody who is near [is foolish]; similarly, anyone who hires a foolish person [who passes by is very foolish].
१०एखादा तिरंदाज प्रत्येकाला जखमी करतो, तसेच जो मूर्खाला किंवा जवळून आल्या गेल्यास मोलाने काम करायला लावतो तो तसाच आहे.
11 A foolish person will foolishly do something stupid a second time; it is [like] [SIM] a dog returning to [eat] what it has vomited.
११जसा कुत्रा आपल्या स्वतःच्या ओकीकडे फिरतो. तसा मूर्ख आपली मूर्खता पुन्हा करतो.
12 [God] can help/bless foolish people more easily than he can help/bless people who are not wise [RHQ], but think that they are wise.
१२आपल्या दृष्टीने स्वतःला शहाणा समजतो असा कोणी तुझ्या पाहण्यात आहे का? त्यापेक्षा मूर्खाला अधिक आशा आहे.
13 Lazy people [just stay inside their houses and do nothing]; [they keep] saying “[I think] there is a lion in the street!”
१३आळशी मनुष्य म्हणतो, “रस्त्यावर सिंह आहे!” तेथे उघड्या जागेमध्ये सिंह आहे.
14 A door [continually] swings back and forth on its hinges [and does not go anywhere]; similarly [SIM], lazy people [just continually turn over] in their beds [and never do anything].
१४दार जसे बिजागरीवर फिरते, तसा आळशी मनुष्य अंथरुणावर लोळत असतो.
15 Some people are extremely lazy; they put their hand in a dish [to get some food] but do not [even] lift the food up to their mouths.
१५आळशी आपला हात ताटात घालून ठेवतो, आणि तरी त्यास आपला हात तोंडापर्यंत नेण्यास शक्ती नसते.
16 Lazy people think that they are wiser than seven/several people who can answer [others’ questions] with good sense.
१६विवेक दृष्टी असणाऱ्या सात मनुष्यांपेक्षा आळशी मनुष्य आपल्या दृष्टीने शहाणा समजतो.
17 Anyone who (meddles/involves himself) in a quarrel that does not concern him is [as foolish as] [SIM] someone who tries to grab a passing dog by its ears.
१७जो दुसऱ्यांच्या वादात पडून संतप्त होतो, तो जवळून जाणाऱ्या कुत्र्याचे कान धरुन ओढणाऱ्यासारखा आहे.
18 Crazy people who shoot burning arrows to kill people
१८जो कोणी मूर्खमनुष्य जळते बाण मारतो,
19 are as foolish as those who deceive someone else and [then] say, “I was only joking.”
१९तो अशा मनुष्यासारखा आहे जो आपल्या एका शेजाऱ्याला फसवतो, आणि म्हणतो, मी विनोद सांगत नव्हतो काय?
20 If there is no [more] firewood [to put on the fire], the fire will go out; similarly [SIM], if there are no people who (gossip/tell people things that are not true), quarreling will end.
२०लाकडाच्या अभावी, अग्नी विझतो. आणि जेथे कोठे गप्पाटप्पा करणारे नसतील तर भांडणे थांबतात.
21 [Putting] charcoal on burning coals or [putting] wood on a fire [causes the fire to keep burning]; similarly, people who like to quarrel cause people to keep arguing.
२१जसे लोणारी कोळसा जळत्या कोळश्याला आणि लाकडे अग्नीला, त्याचप्रमाणे भांडण पेटवायला भांडखोर लागतो.
22 People [enjoy listening to what gossips say about others just like] [SIM] they enjoy tasty food; they [enjoy listening to what gossips tell them like] they enjoy swallowing tasty food.
२२गप्पाटप्पा करणाऱ्याचे शब्द स्वादिष्ट पक्वान्नासारखे असतात. ते पोटाच्या आंतील भागापर्यंत खाली जातात.
23 People who say nice things when they are thinking about doing evil things are like a nice glaze/covering on a [cheap] clay pot.
२३जसे वाणी कळवळ्याची आणि दुष्ट हृदय असणे, हे मातीच्या पात्राला रुप्याचा मुलामा दिल्यासारखे आहे.
24 Those who hate someone and are saying [MTY] something very different from what they are thinking are hypocrites; they are only planning [to harm that person].
२४जो कोणी प्रबंधाचा द्वेष करतो तो आपल्या ओठांनी आपल्या भावना लपवतो, आणि तो आपल्या अंतर्यामात कपट बाळगतो;
25 When they say nice things, do not believe them, because in their inner beings are many things that [Yahweh] hates.
२५तो विनम्रपणे बोलेल, पण त्याच्यावर विश्वास ठेवू नका, कारण त्याच्या हृदयात सात घृणा आहेत;
26 They try to deceive people to cause them to think that they do not hate [that person], but in a public meeting, the people will find out the evil things [that they have done].
२६तरी त्याचा द्वेष कपटाने झाकला जाईल, आणि दुष्टपणा मंडळीसमोर उघड केला जाईल.
27 Those who dig a deep pit [for other people to fall into] will fall into it themselves; rocks will roll down on those who start to cause rocks to roll down [to crush someone].
२७जो कोणी खड्डा खणतो तो तिच्यात पडेल, आणि जो धोंडा लोटतो त्याच्यावर तो उलट येईल.
28 Those [MTY] who tell lies to others [really] hate them, and those who deceive [others] ruin them.
२८लबाड बोलणारी जिव्हा आपण चिरडून टाकलेल्या लोकांचा द्वेष करते, आणि फाजील स्तुती करणारे तोंड नाशाला कारण होते.
