Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding sayings of intelligence,
For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness, judgment, and uprightness,
For giving to simple ones—prudence, To a youth—knowledge and discretion.
(The wise hear and increase learning, And the intelligent obtain counsels.)
For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the wise and their acute sayings.
Fear of YHWH [is the] beginning of knowledge, Fools have despised wisdom and instruction!
Hear, my son, the instruction of your father, And do not leave the law of your mother,
For they [are] a graceful wreath to your head, And chains to your 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 you, do not be willing.
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, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,
12 १२ जसे अधोलोक निरोग्यांना गिळून गर्तेत पडणाऱ्यांसारखे करतो तसे आपण त्यांना जिवंतपणीच गिळून टाकू. (Sheol h7585)
We swallow them as Sheol—alive, And whole—as those going down [to] the pit, (Sheol h7585)
We find every precious substance, We fill our houses [with] spoil,
You cast your lot among us, One purse is—to all of us.”
15 १५ माझ्या मुला, त्यांच्याबरोबर त्या मार्गाने खाली जाऊ नकोस; ते जेथून चालतात त्याचा स्पर्शही तुझ्या पावलांना होऊ देऊ नकोस;
My son! Do not go in the way with them, Withhold your foot from their path,
For their feet run to evil, And they hurry to shed blood.
Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird.
And they lay wait for their own blood, They watch 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 paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, It takes the life of its owners.
Wisdom cries aloud in an out-place, She gives forth her voice in broad places,
She calls at the head of the multitudes, In the openings of the gates, In the city she says her sayings:
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?
“Until when, you simple, do you love simplicity? And have scorners desired their scorning? And do fools hate knowledge?
Turn back at my reproof, behold, I pour forth my spirit to you, I make known my words with you.
Because I have called, and you refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,
And you slight all my counsel, And you have not desired my reproof.
I also laugh in your calamity, I deride 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 destruction, And your calamity comes as a windstorm, When adversity and distress come on 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 call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and do not find me.
Because that they have hated knowledge, And have not chosen the fear of YHWH.
They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,
And they eat of the fruit of their way, And they are filled from their own counsels.
32 ३२ कारण जो कोणी भोळा जेव्हा दूर निघून जाईल त्याचा नाश होईल; आणि मूर्खाचे स्वस्थपण त्याचा नाश करील.
For the turning of the simple slays them, And the security of the foolish destroys them.
And whoever is listening to me dwells confidently, And [is] quiet from fear of evil!”
