नीतिसूत्रे 1
The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, who reigned in Israel;
to know wisdom and instruction, and to perceive words of understanding;
to receive also hard saying, and to understand true justice, and [how] to direct judgement;
that he might give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding.
For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and man of understanding will gain direction;
and will understand a parable, and a dark speech; the saying of the wise also, and riddles.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and [there is] good understanding to all that practise it: and piety towards God is the beginning of discernment; but the ungodly will set at nothing wisdom and instruction.
Hear, [my] son, the instruction of your father, and reject not the rules of your mother.
For you shall receive for your head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round your neck.
10 १० माझ्या मुला, जर पापी तुला फूस लावून त्यांच्या पापात पाडण्याचा प्रयत्न करतो, तर त्याच्यामागे जाण्यास नकार दे;
[My] son, let not ungodly men lead you astray, neither consent you [to them].
11 ११ जर ते म्हणतील “आमच्याबरोबर ये. आपण वध करण्यास वाट बघू; आपण लपू व निष्कारण निष्पाप व्यक्तीवर हल्ला करू.
If they should exhort you, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth:
12 १२ जसे अधोलोक निरोग्यांना गिळून गर्तेत पडणाऱ्यांसारखे करतो तसे आपण त्यांना जिवंतपणीच गिळून टाकू. (Sheol h7585)
and let us swallow him alive, as Hades [would], and remove the memorial of him from the earth: (Sheol h7585)
let us seize on his valuable property, and let us fill our houses with spoils:
but do you cast in your lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch:
15 १५ माझ्या मुला, त्यांच्याबरोबर त्या मार्गाने खाली जाऊ नकोस; ते जेथून चालतात त्याचा स्पर्शही तुझ्या पावलांना होऊ देऊ नकोस;
go not in the way with them, but turn aside your foot from their paths:
[For their feet run to do evil, and are swift to shed blood. ]
for nets are not without cause spread for birds.
For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil.
19 १९ जो अन्यायाने संपत्ती मिळवतो त्या प्रत्येकाचे मार्ग असेच आहेत; अन्यायी धन ज्यांनी धरून ठेवले आहे ते त्यांचाही जीव घेते.
These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life.
Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.
And she makes proclamation on the top of the walls, and sits by the gates of princes; and at the gates of the city boldly says,
22 २२ “अहो भोळ्यांनो, जे काही तुम्हास समजत नाही त्याची किती वेळ आवड धरणार? तुम्ही चेष्टा करणारे, किती वेळ चेष्टा करण्यात आनंद पावणार, आणि मूर्ख किती वेळ ज्ञानाचा तिरस्कार करणार?
So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs.
Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.
Since I called, and you did not listen; and I spoke at length, and you gave no heed;
but you set at nothing my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;
therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against [you] when ruin comes upon you:
27 २७ जेव्हा वादळांप्रमाणे तुमच्यावर भितीदायक दहशत येईल, आणि तुफानाप्रमाणे तुमच्यावर समस्या आघात करतील; जेव्हा संकटे आणि दु: ख तुम्हावर येतील.
yes when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and [your] overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.
28 २८ ते मला हाका मारतील आणि मी त्यांना उत्तर देणार नाही; ते माझा झटून शोध करतील, पण मी त्यांना सापडणार नाही.
For it shall be that when you call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find [me].
For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:
neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.
Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.
32 ३२ कारण जो कोणी भोळा जेव्हा दूर निघून जाईल त्याचा नाश होईल; आणि मूर्खाचे स्वस्थपण त्याचा नाश करील.
For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.
But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil.
