< ဒေသနာ 12 >

1 ငါနေ၍ မပြောနိုင်ဟုဆိုရသော ကာလသည် မနီး၊ ဆိုးသောကာလမရောက်မှီ၊ ယခုအသက်ပျိုစဉ်အခါ ပင်၊ သင့်ကို ဖန်ဆင်းတော်မူသောအရှင်ကို အောက်မေ့ လော့။
కష్టకాలం రాకముందే, “జీవితం అంటే నాకిష్టం లేదు” అని నువ్వు చెప్పే కాలం రాకముందే,
2 နေနှင့်အလင်း၊ လနှင့်ကြယ်တို့သည် ကွယ်၍ မိုဃ်းရွာပြီးမှ၊ အထပ်ထပ်ရွာတတ်သော ကာလမရောက် မှီ အောက်မေ့လော့။
సూర్య చంద్ర నక్షత్రాల కాంతికి చీకటి కమ్మక ముందే, వాన వెలిసిన తరువాత మబ్బులు మళ్ళీ రాక ముందే, నీ యువ ప్రాయంలోనే నీ సృష్టికర్తను స్మరించుకో.
3 ထိုကာလ၌ အိမ်စောင့်တို့သည် တုန်လှုပ်၍၊ ခိုင်ခံ့သော သူတို့သည် အားလျော့ကြလိမ့်မည်။ ဆန် ကြိတ်သောသူတို့သည် နည်းသောကြောင့် ရပ်ကြလိမ့် မည်။ ပြတင်းပေါက်ဖြင့် ကြည့်သော သူတို့သည် အလင်း ကွယ်ကြလိမ့်မည်။
ఆ సమయంలో ఇంటి కావలివారు వణకుతారు. బలంగా ఉండేవారు వంగిపోతారు. తిరగలి విసిరే స్త్రీలు కొద్దిమందే ఉంటారు కాబట్టి పని ఆపేస్తారు. కిటికీల్లో నుంచి చూసేవాళ్ళు ఇక చూడలేరు.
4 ကြိတ်သံလျော့သောအခါ၊ လမ်းနားမှာ တံခါး ရွက်တို့သည် စေ့လျက်ရှိလိမ့်မည်။ ငှက်သံကိုကြားသော အခါ၊ စောစောထလိမ့်မည်။ သီချင်းသည်မ အပေါင်းတို့ သည် အသံသေးကြလိမ့်မည်။
తిరుగటిరాళ్ల శబ్దం ఆగిపోతుంది. వీధి తలుపులు మూసేస్తారు. పిట్ట కూతకు మనుషులు మేలుకుంటారు. అమ్మాయిల పాటల స్వరాలు తగ్గిపోతాయి.
5 ထိုကာလ၌ မြင့်သောအရာတို့ကို ကြောက်ကြ လိမ့်မည်။ လမ်း၌ဘေးတွေ့မည်ဟု ထင်ကြလိမ့်မည်။ ဗာတံပင်ပွင့်လိမ့်မည်။ ကျိုင်းကောင်သည် မိမိ၌မိမိ လေးလိမ့်မည်။ အလိုဆန္ဒလျော့လိမ့်မည်။ အကြောင်းမူ ကား၊ လူသည်ထာဝရနေရာသို့ သွားဆဲရှိ၍၊ ငိုခြင်းသည် တို့သည် လမ်းတို့၌ လှည့်လည်ကြ၏။
ఎత్తు స్థలాలంటే, దారిలోని అపాయాలంటే మనుషులు భయపడే సమయమది. బాదం చెట్టుకు పూలు పూసినప్పుడు, మిడతల్లాగా బతుకు భారంగా ఈడుస్తుంటే, సహజమైన కోరికలు అంతరిస్తాయి. అప్పుడు మనిషి తన శాశ్వత నివాసం చేరతాడు. ఏడ్చేవాళ్ళు వీధుల్లో తిరుగుతారు.
6 ငွေကြိုးပြုတ်ခြင်း၊ ရွှေဖလားကွဲခြင်း၊ စမ်းရေတွင်း ၌ ရေပုံးပေါက်ခြင်း၊ ရေကျင်းနားမှာစက်ကျိုးခြင်း အခြင်း အရာတို့သည် ဖြစ်ကြလိမ့်မည်။
వెండి తాడు తెగిపోక ముందే లేదా బంగారు గిన్నె నలిగిపోక ముందే, లేదా నీటి ఊట దగ్గర కుండ పగిలిపోక ముందే, లేదా బావి దగ్గర కప్పీ పగిలి పోక ముందే నీ సృష్టికర్తను స్మరించుకో.
7 ထိုကာလ၌ မြေမှုန့်သည် နေရင်းမြေသို့၎င်း၊ ဝိညာဉ်သည် အရင်ပေးတော်မူသော ဘုရားသခင့်ထံသို့ ၎င်း ပြန်သွားရလိမ့်မည်။
మట్టి తాను దేనిలోనింఛి వచ్చిందో ఆ భూమిలో కలిసిపోక ముందే ఆత్మ, దాన్నిచ్చిన దేవుని దగ్గరికి తిరిగి వెళ్ళిపోతుంది.
8 အနတ္တသက်သက်၊ အလုံးစုံတို့သည် အနတ္တဖြစ် ကြသည်ဟု ဓမ္မဒေသနာဆရာဟော၏။
ప్రసంగి ఇలా అంటున్నాడు. “నీటి ఆవిరి, అంతా అదృశ్యమయ్యే ఆవిరే.”
9 ဓမ္မဒေသနာဆရာသည် ပညာရှိသည်အတိုင်း၊ ပရိသတ်တို့အား ပညာအတတ်ကို သွန်သင်လေ့ရှိ၏။ လုံ့လဝိရိယပြုလျက် များစွာသော သုတ္တံစကားတို့ကို ရှာဖွေ၍စီရင်၏။
ఈ ప్రసంగి తెలివైనవాడు. అతడు ప్రజలకు జ్ఞానం బోధించాడు. అతడు బాగా చదివి, సంగతులు పరిశీలించి అనేక సామెతలు రాశాడు.
10 ၁၀ ဓမ္မဒေသနာဆရာသည် နားထောင်ဘွယ်သော စကားကိုရှာ၍၊ ရေးထားချက်စကားသည် ဖြောင့်မတ် သောစကား၊ သမ္မာစကားဖြစ်၏။
౧౦ప్రసంగి చక్కటి మాటలు యథార్థంగా రాయడానికి ప్రయత్నించాడు.
11 ၁၁ ပညာရှိသောသူ၏စကားသည် တုတ်ချွန်နှင့် ၎င်း၊ တပါးတည်းသော သိုးထိန်းကြီးအပ်ပေတော်မူ၍၊ ပရိသတ်အုပ်တို့ ရိုက်ထားသောသံချွန်နှင့်၎င်း တူ၏။
౧౧తెలివి గల వారి మాటలు ములుకోలల్లాంటివి. ఈ సామెతలు, అనుభవజ్ఞులు సమకూర్చిన మాటల్లాగా, గట్టిగా బిగించి, దిగగొట్టిన మేకుల్లాగా ఒక కాపరి బోధించినట్టుగా ఉన్నాయి.
12 ၁၂ တဖန်တုံ၊ ငါ့သား၊ ထိုသို့သောစကားအားဖြင့် ဆုံးမခြင်းကို ခံလော့။ စာများကိုစီရင်၍ မကုန်နိုင်။ စာကို ကြိုးစား၍ ကြည့်ရှုခြင်းအမှုသည်၊ ကိုယ်ကို နှောင့်ရှက် သောအမှုဖြစ်၏။
౧౨కుమారా, ఇంకా ఇతర విషయాల గూర్చి జాగ్రత్తపడు. అంతూ పొంతూ లేని గ్రంథాల రచన. విపరీతంగా చదవడం వలన శరీరం అలిసిపోతుంది.
13 ၁၃ အချုပ်အခြာစကားဟူမူကား၊ ဘုရားသခင်ကို ကြောက်ရွံ့၍၊ ပညတ်တော်တို့ကို စောင့်ရှောက်လော့။ ဤရွေ့ကား၊ လူနှင့်ဆိုင်သော အမှုအရာအလုံးအစုံတို့ကို ချုပ်ခြာသတည်း။
౧౩ఇదంతా విన్న తరువాత తేలింది ఇదే. నువ్వు దేవుని మీద భయభక్తులు ఉంచి ఆయన ఆజ్ఞలను పాటించాలి. మానవులంతా చేయాల్సింది ఇదే.
14 ၁၄ အကြောင်းမူကား၊ ဘုရားသခင်သည် ခပ်သိမ်း သော ဝှက်ထားခြင်းမှစ၍၊ အလုံးစုံသောအမှု၊ ကောင်း မကောင်းရှိသမျှတို့ကို စစ်ကြော၍၊ တရားသဖြင့် စီရင် တော်မူလတံ့သတည်း။ ရှောလမုန်မင်းကြီးစီရင်ရေးထားသောဒေသနာကျမ်းပြီး၏။
౧౪ఎందుకంటే దేవుడు ప్రతి పనినీ, రహస్యంగా ఉంచిన ప్రతి విషయాన్నీ, అది మంచిదైనా చెడ్డదైనా, తీర్పులోకి తెస్తాడు.
