नीतिसूत्रे 1
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel,
to know wisdom and instruction, to discern the words of understanding,
to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness and justice and equity,
to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion,
that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, and that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsels,
to understand a proverb, and a figure, the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge. The foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
For they shall be a garland of grace to thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 १० माझ्या मुला, जर पापी तुला फूस लावून त्यांच्या पापात पाडण्याचा प्रयत्न करतो, तर त्याच्यामागे जाण्यास नकार दे;
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 ११ जर ते म्हणतील “आमच्याबरोबर ये. आपण वध करण्यास वाट बघू; आपण लपू व निष्कारण निष्पाप व्यक्तीवर हल्ला करू.
If they say, Come with us. Let us lay wait for blood. Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
12 १२ जसे अधोलोक निरोग्यांना गिळून गर्तेत पडणाऱ्यांसारखे करतो तसे आपण त्यांना जिवंतपणीच गिळून टाकू. (Sheol h7585)
Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those who go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
We shall find all precious substance. We shall fill our houses with spoil.
Thou shall cast thy lot among us. We will all have one bag.
15 १५ माझ्या मुला, त्यांच्याबरोबर त्या मार्गाने खाली जाऊ नकोस; ते जेथून चालतात त्याचा स्पर्शही तुझ्या पावलांना होऊ देऊ नकोस;
My son, walk not thou in the way with them. Restrain thy foot from their path.
For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird,
and these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 १९ जो अन्यायाने संपत्ती मिळवतो त्या प्रत्येकाचे मार्ग असेच आहेत; अन्यायी धन ज्यांनी धरून ठेवले आहे ते त्यांचाही जीव घेते.
So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain. It takes away the life of the owners of it.
Wisdom cries aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the broad places.
She cries in the chief place of concourse, at the entrance of the gates, in the city. She utters her words:
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?
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?
Turn back at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you. I will make my words known to you.
Because I have called, and ye have refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man has regarded,
but ye have made all my counsel void, and want none of my reproof,
I also will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear comes,
27 २७ जेव्हा वादळांप्रमाणे तुमच्यावर भितीदायक दहशत येईल, आणि तुफानाप्रमाणे तुमच्यावर समस्या आघात करतील; जेव्हा संकटे आणि दु: ख तुम्हावर येतील.
when your fear comes as a storm, and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish 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.
Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me,
because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah.
They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 ३२ कारण जो कोणी भोळा जेव्हा दूर निघून जाईल त्याचा नाश होईल; आणि मूर्खाचे स्वस्थपण त्याचा नाश करील.
For the backsliding of the simple shall kill them, and the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
But he who hearkens to me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil.
