ಜ್ಞಾನೋಕ್ತಿಗಳು 6
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, [if] thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 ೩ ಹೀಗಿರಲು, ಮಗನೇ, ನೀನು ನೆರೆಯವನ ಕೈಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದರಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಒಂದು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡು, ನಡೆ, ತ್ವರೆಪಡು, ಆ ನೆರೆಯವನನ್ನು ಅಂಗಲಾಚಿ ಬೇಡಿಕೋ,
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 ೮ ಬೇಸಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ತೀನಿಯನ್ನು ಸಿದ್ಧಮಾಡುವುದು, ಸುಗ್ಗಿಯ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ತನಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದಷ್ಟು ಆಹಾರವನ್ನು ಸಂಗ್ರಹಿಸಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು.
Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest.
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 ೧೦ “ಇನ್ನು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ನಿದ್ದೆ, ಇನ್ನು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತೂಕಡಿಕೆ, ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೊಂಚ ನಿದ್ದೆಗಾಗಿ ಕೈಮುದುರಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆ” ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಿಯಾ?
[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck.
22 ೨೨ ನೀನು ನಡೆಯುವಾಗ ಆ ಉಪದೇಶವು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಮುನ್ನಡೆಸುವುದು, ಮಲಗಿಕೊಂಡಾಗ ಅದು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಾಯುವುದು, ಎಚ್ಚರಗೊಂಡಾಗ ನಿನ್ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುವುದು.
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 ೨೫ ನಿನ್ನ ಹೃದಯವು ಅವಳ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಮೋಹಿಸದಿರಲಿ, ಅವಳು ತನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣುರೆಪ್ಪೆಗಳಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ವಶಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಾಳು, ನೋಡಿಕೋ.
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 ೨೬ ವೇಶ್ಯೆಯಿಂದ ಯಾವನಿಗಾದರೂ ಒಂದು ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಗತಿಯಾಗುವುದು, ಪರಸ್ತ್ರೀಯೋ ಅಮೂಲ್ಯವಾದ ಜೀವವನ್ನು ಬೇಟೆಯಾಡುವಳು.
For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 ೨೯ ನೆರೆಯವನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಹೋಗುವವನಿಗೆ ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಆಗುವುದು, ಯಾರು ಅವಳನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟುವನೋ ಅವನು ದಂಡನೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದದೇ ಇರನು.
So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
[Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 ೩೧ ಅವನ ತಪ್ಪು ಬಯಲಾದರೆ ಅವನು ಏಳರಷ್ಟು ಕೊಡಬೇಕಾಗುವುದು, ಅಥವಾ ತನ್ನ ಮನೆಯ ಆಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ತೀರಿಸಲೇಬೇಕು.
But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
[But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 ೩೪ ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಮತ್ಸರವು ಪತಿಗೆ ಕ್ರೋಧವನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ, ಅವನು ಮುಯ್ಯಿತೀರಿಸತಕ್ಕ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯಭಿಚಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸನು.
For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
