नीतिवचन 14
The wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish teareth it down with her hands.
2 २ जो सिधाई से चलता वह यहोवा का भय माननेवाला है, परन्तु जो टेढ़ी चाल चलता वह उसको तुच्छ जाननेवाला ठहरता है।
He who walketh in uprightness feareth the LORD; But he who is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
In the mouth of the foolish pride is a scourge; But the lips of the wise preserve them.
Where there are no oxen, the crib is clean; But there is great increase by the strength of the ox.
A faithful witness doth not lie; But a false witness poureth forth lies.
The scoffer seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; But knowledge is easy to the man of understanding.
Go from the presence of a foolish man; For thou hast not perceived in him the lips of knowledge.
The wisdom of the prudent is in giving heed to his way; But the folly of fools is deceit.
Fools make a mock at sin; But with the upright is favor.
The heart knoweth its own bitterness. And a stranger cannot intermeddle with its joy.
The house of the wicked shall be destroyed; But the tent of the upright shall flourish.
There is a way which seemeth right to a man, But its end is the way to death.
Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, And the end of joy is grief.
The perverse in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And from himself shall the good man be satisfied.
The simple man believeth every word; But the prudent looketh well to his steps.
The wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool is haughty and confident.
17 १७ जो झट क्रोध करे, वह मूर्खता का काम करेगा, और जो बुरी युक्तियाँ निकालता है, उससे लोग बैर रखते हैं।
He who is hasty in his anger will commit folly; And the man of wicked devices will be hated.
The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
The evil bow before the good; Yea, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
The poor is hated even by his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends.
21 २१ जो अपने पड़ोसी को तुच्छ जानता, वह पाप करता है, परन्तु जो दीन लोगों पर अनुग्रह करता, वह धन्य होता है।
He who despiseth his neighbor sinneth; But happy is he who hath mercy on the poor.
22 २२ जो बुरी युक्ति निकालते हैं, क्या वे भ्रम में नहीं पड़ते? परन्तु भली युक्ति निकालनेवालों से करुणा और सच्चाई का व्यवहार किया जाता है।
Do not they who devise evil fail of their end? But they who devise good meet with kindness and truth.
In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
Riches are a crown to the wise; But the promotion of fools is folly.
25 २५ सच्चा साक्षी बहुतों के प्राण बचाता है, परन्तु जो झूठी बातें उड़ाया करता है उससे धोखा ही होता है।
A true witness saveth lives; But a deceitful witness poureth forth lies.
In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence; Yea, to his children he will be a refuge.
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life; By it men escape from the snares of death.
In a numerous people is the glory of a king; But the want of people is the destruction of a prince.
29 २९ जो विलम्ब से क्रोध करनेवाला है वह बड़ा समझवाला है, परन्तु जो अधीर होता है, वह मूर्खता को बढ़ाता है।
He who is slow to anger is of great understanding. But he who is of a hasty spirit setteth folly on high.
A quiet heart is the life of the flesh; But the ferment of passion is rottenness to the bones.
31 ३१ जो कंगाल पर अंधेर करता, वह उसके कर्ता की निन्दा करता है, परन्तु जो दरिद्र पर अनुग्रह करता, वह उसकी महिमा करता है।
He who oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he who hath mercy on the poor honoreth him.
By his wickedness the wicked is thrust down; But the righteous hath hope even in death.
33 ३३ समझवाले के मन में बुद्धि वास किए रहती है, परन्तु मूर्ख मनुष्य बुद्धि के विषय में कुछ भी नहीं जानता।
Wisdom resteth quietly in the heart of the wise; But in the breast of fools it will be made known.
Righteousness exalteth a people; But the reproach of nations is sin.
35 ३५ जो कर्मचारी बुद्धि से काम करता है उस पर राजा प्रसन्न होता है, परन्तु जो लज्जा के काम करता, उस पर वह रोष करता है।
The king's favor is toward a wise servant; But his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
