नीतिसूत्रे 3
My son, do not forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:
for length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to you.
3 ३ विश्वासाचा करार आणि प्रामाणिकपणा तुला कधीही न सोडो, त्यांना एकत्र करून आपल्या गळ्यात बांध, ते आपल्या हृदयाच्या पाटीवर लिहून ठेव.
Do not let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 ५ तू आपल्या सर्व अंतःकरणाने परमेश्वरावर विश्वास ठेव. आणि तुझ्या स्वत: च्या ज्ञानावर अवलंबून राहू नकोस;
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways remember him, and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil.
It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
Honor Jehovah with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:
so your storehouses will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
My son, do not despise the discipline of Jehovah, nor resent his correction.
12 १२ जसा बाप आपल्या आवडत्या मुलाला शिक्षा करतो, तसा परमेश्वर ज्यांच्यावर प्रीती करतो त्यांनाच तो शिस्त लावतो.
For whom Jehovah loves he disciplines, and punishes every son he accepts.
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
14 १४ ज्ञानापासून जी काय वाढ होते त्याची प्राप्ती परत मिळणाऱ्या रुप्याच्या प्राप्तीपेक्षा चांगली आहे, आणि त्याचे फायदे उत्कृष्ट सोन्यापेक्षा चांगले आहेत.
For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
15 १५ ज्ञान रत्नांपेक्षा अधिक मौल्यवान आहे. आणि तुम्ही त्यांची अपेक्षा कराल त्याची तुलना तिच्याशी होऊ शकणार नाही.
She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her, and those who hold on to her are blessed
By wisdom Jehovah founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
Then you shall walk in your way securely, and your foot won't stumble.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
Do not be afraid of sudden fear, or of the storm of the wicked when it comes:
for Jehovah will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 २८ एखादी वस्तू तुझ्याजवळ असता; आपल्या शेजाऱ्यास असे म्हणू नको कि, “जा, आणि पुन्हा ये, आणि उद्या मी तुला देईन.”
Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you," when you have it by you.
29 २९ तुमच्या शेजाऱ्याला त्रास देण्याची योजना आखू नकोस. जो तुझ्याजवळ राहतो आणि तुझ्यावर विश्वास ठेवतो.
Do not devise evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
30 ३० काही कारण नसताना तू एखाद्या मनुष्याशी वाद करू नकोस, जेव्हा त्याने तुझे काहीही वाईट केलेले नाही.
Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
Do not envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah, but his friendship is with the upright.
Jehovah's curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
Surely he is scornful to scoffers, but he gives grace to the humble.
The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
