প্রবচন 31
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
Give not thy strength to women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 ৪ হে লমুৱেল, এইটো ৰজাসকলৰ বাবে নহয়, ৰজাসকলৰ বাবে সুৰা পান কৰা উপযুক্ত নহয়; অথবা “সুৰা ক’ত আছে?” বুলি শাসনকৰ্ত্তাই সোধা অনুচিত;
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 ৫ তেওঁলোকে পান কৰিব আৰু বিধানত কি আছে তাক পাহৰিব, আৰু সকলো দুৰ্দশাগ্রস্ত লোকৰ অধিকাৰক বিপথগামী কৰিব।
Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that are of heavy hearts.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchant ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 ১৫ তেওঁ ৰাতিপুৱা নহওঁতেই সাৰ পায়, আৰু ঘৰৰ সকলোকে খাবলৈ আহাৰ দিয়ে, আৰু তেওঁ নিজৰ দাসীসকলক কাম ভগাই দিয়ে।
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth food to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 ১৬ তেওঁ খেতি পথাৰৰ বিষয়ে বিবেচনা কৰে, আৰু মাটি কিনি লয়; তেওঁ নিজৰ হাতৰ শ্ৰমৰ ফলেৰে দ্ৰাক্ষাবাৰী পাতে।
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her lamp goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 ২৪ তেওঁ শণ সুতাৰ বস্ত্ৰ প্ৰস্তুত কৰে, আৰু বিক্রী কৰে, আৰু তেওঁ ব্যৱসায়ী সকলক পাগুৰিৰ কাপোৰ যোগান ধৰে।
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth waistbands to the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 ২৮ তেওঁৰ সন্তান সকলে সাৰ পায়, আৰু যি বস্তুৱে সিহঁতক সুখী কৰিব পাৰে, তেনে তেওঁ সিহঁতক দিয়ে। তেওঁৰ স্বামীয়ে তেওঁক প্ৰশংসা কৰি কয়,
Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
