സദൃശവാക്യങ്ങൾ 9
Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.
She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.
She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”
One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
8 ൮ പരിഹാസി നിന്നെ പകക്കാതിരിക്കേണ്ടതിന് അവനെ ശാസിക്കരുത്; ജ്ഞാനിയെ ശാസിക്കുക; അവൻ നിന്നെ സ്നേഹിക്കും.
Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
9 ൯ ജ്ഞാനിയെ പ്രബോധിപ്പിക്കുക, അവന്റെ ജ്ഞാനം വർദ്ധിക്കും; നീതിമാനെ ഉപദേശിക്കുക, അവൻ വിദ്യാഭിവൃദ്ധി പ്രാപിക്കും.
Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.
12 ൧൨ നീ ജ്ഞാനിയാകുന്നുവെങ്കിൽ നിനക്കുവേണ്ടി തന്നെ ജ്ഞാനിയായിരിക്കും; പരിഹസിക്കുന്നു എങ്കിലോ, നീ തന്നെ സഹിക്കേണ്ടിവരും”.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.
The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and knows nothing.
She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
“Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
