প্রবচন 6
1 ১ হে মোৰ পুত্র, তুমি যদি তোমাৰ চুবুৰীয়াৰ জামিন হ’বলৈ তোমাৰ ধন এফলিয়া কৈ ৰাখা, তুমি যদি কোনো অচিনাকী লোকক ধাৰ দিবলৈ প্রতিজ্ঞা কৰা,
[My] son, if thou become surety for thy friend, thou shalt deliver thine hand to an enemy.
2 ২ তেনেহ’লে তুমি নিজে কৰা প্রতিজ্ঞাৰ দ্বাৰাই ফান্দত পৰিবা, আৰু তুমি নিজৰ মুখৰ কথাৰ দ্বাৰাই ধৰা পৰিবা।
For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth.
3 ৩ হে মোৰ পুত্র, সেই বিষয়ত তুমি এইদৰে কৰা আৰু নিজকে ৰক্ষা কৰা; কাৰণ তুমি তোমাৰ চুবুৰীয়াৰ অনুগ্রহত আছা। যোৱা আৰু নিজকে নম্র কৰি তোমাক মুক্ত কৰিবলৈ তোমাৰ চুবুৰীয়াক মিনতি কৰা।
[My] son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend's account thou art come into the power of evil [men]: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety.
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber with thine eyelids;
5 ৫ হৰিণে চিকাৰীৰ হাতৰ পৰা ৰক্ষা পোৱাৰ দৰে, আৰু চৰাইয়ে চিকাৰীৰ হাতৰ পৰা ৰক্ষা পোৱাৰ দৰে তুমি নিজকে ৰক্ষা কৰা।
that thou mayest deliver thyself as a doe out of the toils, and as a bird out of a snare.
Go to the ant, O sluggard; and see, and emulate his ways, and become wiser than he.
For whereas he has no husbandry, nor any one to compel him, and is under no master,
he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest. Or go to the bee, and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly she is engaged in her work; whose labours kings and private men use for health, and she is desired and respected by all: though weak in body, she is advanced by honouring wisdom.
How long wilt thou lie, O sluggard? and when wilt thou awake out of sleep?
Thou sleepest a little, and thou restest a little, and thou slumberest a short [time], and thou foldest thine arms over thy breast a little.
Then poverty comes upon thee as an evil traveller, and want as a swift courier: but if thou be diligent, thine harvest shall arrive as a fountain, and poverty shall flee away as a bad courier.
A foolish man and a transgressor goes in ways that are not good.
And the same winks with the eye, and makes a sign with his foot, and teaches with the beckonings of his fingers.
[His] perverse heart devises evils: at all times such a one causes troubles to a city.
Therefore his destruction shall come suddenly; overthrow and irretrievable ruin.
For he rejoices in all things which God hates, and he is ruined by reason of impurity of soul.
The eye of the haughty, a tongue unjust, hands shedding the blood of the just;
and a heart devising evil thoughts, and feet hastening to do evil, —[are hateful to God].
An unjust witness kindles falsehoods, and brings on quarrels between brethren.
[My] son, keep the laws of thy father, and reject not the ordinances of thy mother:
but bind them upon thy soul continually, and hang them as a chain about thy neck.
22 ২২ তুমি যেতিয়া খোজ কাঢ়িবা, তেতিয়া সেইবোৰে তোমাক পৰিচালনা কৰিব, তুমি যেতিয়া শুবা, তেতিয়া সেইবোৰে তোমাক পৰ দি ৰাখিব, আৰু যেতিয়া তুমি শুই উঠিবা, তেতিয়া সেইবোৰে তোমাক শিক্ষা প্রদান কৰিব।
Whensoever thou walkest, lead this along and let it be with thee; that it may talk with thee when thou wakest.
For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction:
to keep thee continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue.
25 ২৫ তুমি তোমাৰ অন্তৰেৰে তেওঁৰ সৌন্দৰ্যত মোহ নাযাবা, আৰু তেওঁক তেওঁৰ চকুৰে তোমাক মোহিত কৰিব নিদিবা।
Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, neither be thou caught by thine eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids.
26 ২৬ বেশ্যা মহিলাৰ সৈতে শয়ন কৰা, এটা পিঠাৰ মূল্যৰ সমান হ’ব পাৰে, কিন্তু অন্য লোকৰ ভাৰ্যাই তোমাৰ সমগ্র জীৱন ক্ষতি কৰিব পাৰে।
For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.
Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments?
or will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet?
29 ২৯ সেয়ে যি মানুহে নিজৰ চুবুৰীয়াৰ ভাৰ্যাৰ ওচৰলৈ যায়, সেই জনে তেওঁৰে সৈতে সম্পৰ্ক কৰিলে, তেওঁ দণ্ড নোপোৱাকৈ নাথাকে।
So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her.
It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul:
31 ৩১ কিন্তু ধৰা পৰিলে, তেওঁ তাৰ সাত গুণ ক্ষতি পুৰণ কৰিব লাগিব, আৰু নিজৰ ঘৰৰ সৰ্ব্বস্বৰ মূল্য দিব লগা হ’ব।
but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods.
32 ৩২ যিজনে পৰস্ত্ৰীৰ সৈতে সহবাস কৰে তেওঁ জ্ঞানশূন্য; যি মানুহে এনে কাৰ্য কৰে, তেওঁ নিজকে ধ্বংস কৰে।
But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul.
He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off.
For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 ৩৫ তেওঁ কোনো প্ৰকাৰৰ ক্ষতিপূৰণ গ্ৰহণ নকৰিব; আৰু তুমি তেওঁক বহুত উপহাৰ দিলেও তেওঁক কিনিব নোৱাৰিবা।
He will not forego [his] enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts.
