প্রবচন 24
Do not be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:
for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about mischief.
Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;
for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors.
Wisdom is too high for a fool: he doesn't open his mouth in the gate.
One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
If you falter in the time of trouble, 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।
Rescue those who are being led away to death. Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.
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, "Look, we did not know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are 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।
Likewise, know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, and your hope will 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।
Do not lie in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Do not destroy his resting place.
16 ১৬ কাৰণ যিসকলে ন্যায় কাৰ্য কৰে, তেওঁলোক সাতবাৰ পৰিলেও, তেওঁ পুনৰ উঠিব। কিন্তু দুষ্ট লোক দুৰ্যোগত পৰি বিনষ্ট হয়।
For the righteous may fall seven times, but gets up again, but the wicked will stumble in adversity.
17 ১৭ যেতিয়া তোমাৰ শত্ৰুৰ পতন হয়, তেতিয়া আনন্দ নকৰিবা, আৰু যেতিয়া তেওঁ উজুতি খায়, তেতিয়া তোমাৰ মনক উল্লাসিত হ’বলৈ নিদিবা।
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls. Do not let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:
for there will be no reward to the evil man; and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
21 ২১ হে মোৰ পুত্র, যিহোৱালৈ ভয় কৰা, আৰু ৰজাক ভয় কৰা। তেওঁলোকৰ বিৰুদ্ধে বিদ্রোহ কৰা সকলৰ সৈতে সহযোগ নকৰিবা।
My son, fear the LORD and the king. Do not join those who are rebellious:
for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both—who knows?
These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him—
25 ২৫ কিন্তু যিসকলে দুষ্টলোকক নিন্দা কৰে, তেওঁলোক আনন্দিত হ’ব, আৰু তেওঁলোকলৈ ওপৰত উত্তম আশীৰ্ব্বাদ আহে।
but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
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 outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Do not deceive with your lips.
29 ২৯ এইদৰে নকবা, “তেওঁ মোলৈ যিদৰে কৰিলে, মইয়ো তালৈ সেইদৰেই কৰিম; তেওঁ যি কৰিলে তাৰ প্রতিফল মই তেওঁক দিম।”
Do not say, "I will do 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 sluggard, 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।
Look, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep;
so your poverty will come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
