Salamana Pamācības 3
1 Mans bērns, neaizmirsti manu mācību, bet lai tava sirds patur manus baušļus.
[My] son, forget not my laws; but let your heart keep my words:
2 Jo tie tev pieliks daudz dienu un dzīvības gadus un mieru.
for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to you.
3 Žēlastība un ticība tevi neatstās; sien tos ap savu kaklu un ieraksti tos savas sirds galdiņā;
Let not mercy and truth forsake you; but bind them about your neck:
4 Tad tu atradīsi žēlastību un labprātību Dieva un cilvēku acīs.
so shall you find favor: and do you provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.
5 Paļaujies uz To Kungu no visas savas sirds un nepaļaujies uz savu gudrību.
Trust in God with all your heart; and be not exalted in your own wisdom.
6 Visos savos ceļos ņem Viņu vērā, tad Viņš darīs līdzenas tavas tekas
In all your ways acquaint yourself with her, that she may rightly direct your paths.
7 Neesi gudrs savās acīs; bīsties To Kungu un atkāpies no ļauna.
Be not wise in your own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.
8 Tās būs tavai miesai zāles, kas dziedina, un atspirgšana taviem kauliem.
Then shall there be health to your body, and good keeping to your bones.
9 Godā To Kungu no savas mantas, un no visa sava ienākuma pirmajiem,
Honor the Lord with your just labors, and give him the first of your fruits of righteousness:
10 Tad tavi šķūņi pildīsies ar pilnību, un tavi vīna spaidi plūdīs no jauna vīna.
that your storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that your presses may burst forth with wine.
11 Mans bērns, neatmet Tā Kunga pamācīšanu, un lai viņa pārmācīšana tev neriebj;
[My] son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
12 Jo ko Tas Kungs mīļo, to Viņš pārmāca, kā tēvs dēlu, pie kā tam labs prāts.
for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives.
13 Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas atradis gudrību, un cilvēks, kam tiek saprašana.
Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence.
14 Viņu mantot ir labāki nekā sudrabu mantot, un viņu krāt labāki nekā spožu zeltu.
For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver.
15 Viņa ir dārgāka pār pērlēm un viss, ko tu kārotos, tai netiek līdzi.
And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value.
16 Garš mūžs ir viņas labā rokā, un viņas kreisā bagātība un gods.
For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory: out of her mouth proceeds righteousness, and she carries law and mercy upon her tongue.
17 Viņas ceļi ir jauki ceļi, un visas viņas tekas ir miers.
Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful.
18 Viņa ir dzīvības koks tiem, kas viņu tver, un kas viņu cieti tur, tas ir laimīgs.
She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is [a] secure [help] to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.
19 Tas Kungs ar gudrību licis pamatus zemei, ar saprašanu viņš sataisījis debesis.
God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens.
20 Caur viņa ziņu plūda ūdens plūdi, un padebeši pilēja ar rasu.
By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water.
21 Mans bērns, lai tās neizzūd no tavām acīm, pasargi apdomīgu prātu un samaņu.
[My] son, let [them] not pass from [you], but keep my counsel and understanding:
22 Jo tā būs tavas dvēseles dzīvība un glītums tavam kaklam.
that your soul may live, and that there may be grace round your neck; and it shall be health to your flesh, and safety to your bones:
23 Tad tu savu ceļu staigāsi droši, un tava kāja nepiedauzīsies;
that you may go confidently in peace in all your ways, and that your foot may not stumble.
24 Apguldamies tu nebīsies, bet gulēsi, un tavs miegs būs gards.
For if you rest, you shall be undismayed; and if you sleep, you shall slumber sweetly.
25 Tu nebīsies no piepešas izbailes, nedz no bezdievīgo posta, kad tas nāk;
And you shall not be afraid of alarm coming upon you, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.
26 Jo Tas Kungs būs tavs patvērums un pasargās tavu kāju no valgiem.
For the Lord shall be over all your ways, and shall establish your foot that you be not moved.
27 Neliedzies labu darīt, kam tas nākas, ja Dievs devis, ka tev pie rokas, to darīt;
Forbear not to do good to the poor, whenever your hand may have [power] to help [him].
28 Nesaki uz savu tuvāko: „Ej un nāc, es tev rīt došu!“un tev tomēr ir.
Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while you are able to do [him] good: for you know not what the next day will bring forth.
29 Neperē ļauna pret savu tuvāko, kad tas tev uzticēdamies pie tevis dzīvo.
Devise not evil against your friend, living near you and trusting in you.
30 Nebaries par nepatiesu ar cilvēku ja viņš tev ļauna nav darījis.
Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do you some harm.
31 Neapskaudi varas darītāju un neizraugies sev neviena no viņa ceļiem;
Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do you covet their ways.
32 Jo netiklais Tam Kungam ir negantība, bet viņam ir draudzība ar sirdsskaidriem.
For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous.
33 Tā Kunga lāsti ir bezdievīga namā, bet taisno mājas vietu viņš svētī.
The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed.
34 Smējējus tiešām viņš apsmies, bet pazemīgiem dos žēlastību.
The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble.
35 Gudrie iemantos godu, bet ģeķi atradīs kaunu.
The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted [their own] dishonor.
