প্রবচন 24
Be not you envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
For their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
Through wisdom is an house built; and by understanding it is established:
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
A wise man is strong; yes, a man of knowledge increases strength.
For by wise counsel you shall make your war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
Wisdom is too high for a fool: he opens not his mouth in the gate.
He that devises to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
11 ১১ মৃত্যুলৈ লৈ যোৱা লোকসকলক ৰক্ষা কৰা, আৰু বধ কৰিবলৈ নিওতে যিসকল হতভম্ব হয় তেওঁলোকক তুমি যদি পাৰা ঘূৰাই আনা।
If you forbear to deliver them that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12 ১২ তুমি যদি কোৱা, “আমি এই বিষয়ে একো নাজানো।” তুমি কি কৈছা? সেই বিষয়ে যি জনাই হৃদয় পৰীক্ষা কৰে, তেওঁ জানো নুবুজে? আৰু যিজনাই তোমাৰ জীৱন ৰক্ষা কৰে, তেওঁ জানো এই বিষয়ে নাজানে? ঈশ্বৰে মানুহক কৰ্ম অনুসাৰে জানো ফল নিদিয়ে?
If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that ponders the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
My son, eat you honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:
14 ১৪ তেনেকৈ প্ৰজ্ঞা তোমাৰ আত্মাৰ বাবে তুমি যদি তাক বিচাৰি পোৱা, তেনেহ’লে তাত তোমাৰ ভবিষ্যত আছে, আৰু তোমাৰ আশা খণ্ডন কৰা নহব।
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul: when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your expectation shall not be cut off.
15 ১৫ ন্যায় কাৰ্য কৰাসকলৰ ঘৰ যিজনে আক্রমণ কৰে, তেনে দুষ্ট মানুহৰ দৰে তুমি মিছা কথা নকবা, তেওঁলোকৰ ঘৰ ধ্বংস নকৰিবা।
Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16 ১৬ কাৰণ যিসকলে ন্যায় কাৰ্য কৰে, তেওঁলোক সাতবাৰ পৰিলেও, তেওঁ পুনৰ উঠিব। কিন্তু দুষ্ট লোক দুৰ্যোগত পৰি বিনষ্ট হয়।
For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17 ১৭ যেতিয়া তোমাৰ শত্ৰুৰ পতন হয়, তেতিয়া আনন্দ নকৰিবা, আৰু যেতিয়া তেওঁ উজুতি খায়, তেতিয়া তোমাৰ মনক উল্লাসিত হ’বলৈ নিদিবা।
Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:
Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Fret not yourself because of evil men, neither be you envious at the wicked:
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21 ২১ হে মোৰ পুত্র, যিহোৱালৈ ভয় কৰা, আৰু ৰজাক ভয় কৰা। তেওঁলোকৰ বিৰুদ্ধে বিদ্রোহ কৰা সকলৰ সৈতে সহযোগ নকৰিবা।
My son, fear you the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knows the ruin of them both?
These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
He that says to the wicked, You are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25 ২৫ কিন্তু যিসকলে দুষ্টলোকক নিন্দা কৰে, তেওঁলোক আনন্দিত হ’ব, আৰু তেওঁলোকলৈ ওপৰত উত্তম আশীৰ্ব্বাদ আহে।
But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come on them.
Every man shall kiss his lips that gives a right answer.
27 ২৭ তোমাৰ বাহিৰৰ কাম প্রস্তুত কৰা, আৰু নিজৰ বাবে মুকলি ঠাইত সকলো বস্তু যুগুত কৰা, আৰু তাৰ পাছতহে তোমাৰ গৃহ নিৰ্মাণ কৰা।
Prepare your work without, and make it fit for yourself in the field; and afterwards build your house.
Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.
29 ২৯ এইদৰে নকবা, “তেওঁ মোলৈ যিদৰে কৰিলে, মইয়ো তালৈ সেইদৰেই কৰিম; তেওঁ যি কৰিলে তাৰ প্রতিফল মই তেওঁক দিম।”
Say not, I will do so to him as he has done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 ৩১ চাৰিওফালে কাঁইটীয়া বন গজিছিল, গোটেই পথাৰ কাঁইটে ঢাকি ধৰিছিল, আৰু সীমাত থকা শিলৰ বেৰা ভাঙি গৈছিল।
And, see, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked on it, and received instruction.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.
