Salamana Pamācības 6
1 Mans bērns, ja tu priekš sava tuvākā galvojis un roku devis priekš cita,
My son, if you be surety for your friend, if you have stricken your hand with a stranger,
2 Tad tu esi sasaistīts ar savas mutes valodu un savaldzināts ar savas mutes vārdiem.
You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth.
3 Tad dari jel tā mans bērns, un izglābies, ja tu savam tuvākam rokā esi nācis; ej, meties zemē priekš viņa un spied savu tuvāko;
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.
4 Nedod savām acīm miega, nedod savām acīm dusas;
Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Izglābies kā stirna no viņa rokas un kā putns no mednieka rokas!
Deliver yourself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Ej pie skudras, sliņķi, skaties viņas ceļus un topi gudrs!
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Lai tai nav valdnieka, ne virsnieka, ne kunga,
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Tā tomēr savu maizi sagādā vasarā, savu barību sakrāj pļaujamā laikā.
Provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
9 Cik ilgi tu gulēsi, sliņķi? Kad tu celsies no sava miega?
How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
10 Guli maķenīt, snaudi maķenīt, saliec maķenīt rokas miegā;
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 Tad tava nabadzība tev pienāks nākdama, un tavs trūkums, kā apbruņots vīrs.
So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man.
12 Nelieša cilvēks ir tāds negants vīrs, kas staigā ar netiklu muti,
A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a fraudulent mouth.
13 Met ar acīm, piegrūž ar kājām, zīmē ar pirkstiem.
He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers;
14 Netiklība ir viņa sirdī, viņš domā vienmēr uz ļaunu, saceļ ķildas.
Frowardness is in his heart, he devises mischief continually; he sows discord.
15 Tādēļ viņam nelaime nāks piepeši, viņš ātri taps satriekts un dziedināšanas nebūs.
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 Šās sešas lietas Tas Kungs ienīst, un tā septītā viņam ir negantība:
These six things does the LORD hate: yes, seven are an abomination to him:
17 Lepnas acis, melu mēle un rokas, kas nenoziedzīgas asinis izlej,
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 Sirds, kas negantus nodomus perē; kājas, kas mudīgas uz ļaunu skriet;
An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 Viltīgs liecinieks, kas droši melus runā, un kas ķildu ceļ starp brāļiem. -
A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brothers.
20 Mans bērns, glabā sava tēva pamācīšanu un nepamet savas mātes mācību.
My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
21 Sasien to allažiņ uz savas sirds un sien to ap savu kaklu.
Bind them continually on your heart, and tie them about your neck.
22 Kad tu staigā, tad tā tevi pavadīs; kad tu apgulies, tad tā tevi apsargās, un kad tu uzmodies, tad tā ar tevi runās;
When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you.
23 Jo pamācīšana ir spīdeklis, un mācība gaišums, un kad pārmāca un rāj, tas ir dzīvības ceļš;
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 Ka tās tev izsargā no negodīgas sievas, no svešas sievietes mīkstās mēles.
To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Nekāro savā sirdī pēc viņas skaistuma, un lai viņa tevi nesagūsta ar savām acīm;
Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids.
26 Jo caur mauku tiek līdz maizes drupekļiem, un vīra sieva tev notvers pat dārgo dzīvību.
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27 Vai arī uguni var klēpī ņemt, un drēbes nesadegtu?
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Vai uz kvēlošām oglēm var iet un nesadedzinātu kājas?
Can one go on hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 Tāpat, kas ieiet pie otra sievas; nesodīts nepaliks, kas to aizskar.
So he that goes in to his neighbor’s wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
30 Zaglim nepiedod vis, ka zog izsalcis, vēderu pildīt.
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 Bet pieķerts tas septiņkārt atlīdzinās, visu sava nama padomu tas atdos.
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 Kas ar sievu laulību pārkāpj, tam prāta nav; to tik dara, kas sev dzīvību grib nogalināt.
But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.
33 Tam būs kāviens un kauns un negods bez gala;
A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 Jo viņas vīra dusmas iekarsušās netaupīs atriebšanas laikā.
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 Tas nebēdās ne par kādu līdzību(izpirkumu), un nebūs miera, cik dāvanu arī nedotu.
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
