ಜ್ಞಾನೋಕ್ತಿಗಳು 6
My son, if you be guarantor for your friend, if you have stricken your hand with a stranger,
You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth.
3 ೩ ಹೀಗಿರಲು, ಮಗನೇ, ನೀನು ನೆರೆಯವನ ಕೈಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದರಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಒಂದು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡು, ನಡೆ, ತ್ವರೆಪಡು, ಆ ನೆರೆಯವನನ್ನು ಅಂಗಲಾಚಿ ಬೇಡಿಕೋ,
Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, when you are come into the hand of your friend; go, humble yourself, and make sure your friend.
Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
Deliver yourself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 ೮ ಬೇಸಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ತೀನಿಯನ್ನು ಸಿದ್ಧಮಾಡುವುದು, ಸುಗ್ಗಿಯ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ತನಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದಷ್ಟು ಆಹಾರವನ್ನು ಸಂಗ್ರಹಿಸಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು.
Provides her food in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
10 ೧೦ “ಇನ್ನು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ನಿದ್ದೆ, ಇನ್ನು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತೂಕಡಿಕೆ, ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೊಂಚ ನಿದ್ದೆಗಾಗಿ ಕೈಮುದುರಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆ” ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಿಯಾ?
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your lack as an armed man.
A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth.
He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers;
Perverseness is in his heart, he devises mischief continually; he sows discord.
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.
My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.
22 ೨೨ ನೀನು ನಡೆಯುವಾಗ ಆ ಉಪದೇಶವು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಮುನ್ನಡೆಸುವುದು, ಮಲಗಿಕೊಂಡಾಗ ಅದು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಾಯುವುದು, ಎಚ್ಚರಗೊಂಡಾಗ ನಿನ್ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುವುದು.
When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 ೨೫ ನಿನ್ನ ಹೃದಯವು ಅವಳ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಮೋಹಿಸದಿರಲಿ, ಅವಳು ತನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣುರೆಪ್ಪೆಗಳಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ವಶಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಾಳು, ನೋಡಿಕೋ.
Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids.
26 ೨೬ ವೇಶ್ಯೆಯಿಂದ ಯಾವನಿಗಾದರೂ ಒಂದು ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಗತಿಯಾಗುವುದು, ಪರಸ್ತ್ರೀಯೋ ಅಮೂಲ್ಯವಾದ ಜೀವವನ್ನು ಬೇಟೆಯಾಡುವಳು.
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 ೨೯ ನೆರೆಯವನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಹೋಗುವವನಿಗೆ ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಆಗುವುದು, ಯಾರು ಅವಳನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟುವನೋ ಅವನು ದಂಡನೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದದೇ ಇರನು.
So he that goes in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever touches her shall not be innocent.
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 ೩೧ ಅವನ ತಪ್ಪು ಬಯಲಾದರೆ ಅವನು ಏಳರಷ್ಟು ಕೊಡಬೇಕಾಗುವುದು, ಅಥವಾ ತನ್ನ ಮನೆಯ ಆಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ತೀರಿಸಲೇಬೇಕು.
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
But whoso commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 ೩೪ ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಮತ್ಸರವು ಪತಿಗೆ ಕ್ರೋಧವನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ, ಅವನು ಮುಯ್ಯಿತೀರಿಸತಕ್ಕ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯಭಿಚಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸನು.
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
