ಜ್ಞಾನೋಕ್ತಿಗಳು 8
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
She standeth on the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors.
To you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man.
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.
All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.
They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of ingenious inventions.
13 ೧೩ ಯೆಹೋವನ ಭಯವು ಪಾಪದ್ವೇಷವನ್ನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತದೆ; ಗರ್ವ, ಅಹಂಭಾವ, ದುರ್ಮಾರ್ಗತನ, ಕುಟಿಲ ಭಾಷಣ ಇವುಗಳನ್ನು ಹಗೆಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.
The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength.
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth.
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Riches and honor [are] with me; durable riches and righteousness.
19 ೧೯ ನನ್ನಿಂದಾಗುವ ಫಲವು ಬಂಗಾರಕ್ಕಿಂತಲೂ ಹೌದು ಅಪರಂಜಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಉತ್ತಮ. ನನ್ನ ಮೂಲಕವಾದ ಆದಾಯವು ಚೊಕ್ಕ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಅಮೂಲ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ.
My fruit [is] better than gold, yes, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment.
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 ೨೯ ಪ್ರವಾಹಗಳು ತನ್ನ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಯನ್ನು ಮೀರದ ಹಾಗೆ ಆತನು ಸಮುದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಮೇರೆಯನ್ನು ನೇಮಿಸಿ, ಭೂಮಿಯ ಅಸ್ತಿವಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಗೊತ್ತುಮಾಡುವಾಗ,
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men.
Now therefore hearken to me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways.
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 ೩೪ ನನ್ನ ದ್ವಾರಗಳ ಬಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿದಿನವೂ ಕಾಯುತ್ತಾ ಬಾಗಿಲಿನ ನಿಲವುಗಳ ಹತ್ತಿರವಿದ್ದು, ಜಾಗರೂಕನಾಗಿ ನನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳುವವನು ಭಾಗ್ಯವಂತನು.
Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoever findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor from the LORD.
36 ೩೬ ಯಾವನು ನನಗೆ ತಪ್ಪುಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೋ ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಕೇಡುಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ; ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹಗೆಮಾಡುವವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಮರಣವನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.”
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
