ಜ್ಞಾನೋಕ್ತಿಗಳು 1
The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, who reigned in Israel;
to know wisdom and instruction, and to perceive words of understanding;
to receive also hard saying, and to understand true justice, and [how] to direct judgement;
that he might give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding.
5 ೫ ಜ್ಞಾನಿಯು ಇವುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾದ ಪಾಡಿಂತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವನು, ವಿವೇಕಿಯು ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಉಚಿತಾಲೋಚನೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವನು.
For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and man of understanding will gain direction;
and will understand a parable, and a dark speech; the saying of the wise also, and riddles.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and [there is] good understanding to all that practise it: and piety towards God is the beginning of discernment; but the ungodly will set at nothing wisdom and instruction.
Hear, [my] son, the instruction of your father, and reject not the rules of your mother.
For you shall receive for your head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round your neck.
[My] son, let not ungodly men lead you astray, neither consent you [to them].
11 ೧೧ ಅವರು, “ನಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬಾ, ರಕ್ತಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೊಂಚುಹಾಕೋಣ, ನಿರಪರಾಧಿಯನ್ನು ಕಾರಣವಿಲ್ಲದೆಯೇ ಹಿಡಿಯುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾದಿರೋಣ.
If they should exhort you, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth:
12 ೧೨ ಪಾತಾಳವು ತನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಇಳಿಯುವವರನ್ನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ನುಂಗುವಂತೆ, ನಾವೂ ಇವರನ್ನು ಜೀವದೊಡನೆ ನುಂಗಿಬಿಡೋಣ. (Sheol h7585)
and let us swallow him alive, as Hades [would], and remove the memorial of him from the earth: (Sheol h7585)
let us seize on his valuable property, and let us fill our houses with spoils:
but do you cast in your lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch:
go not in the way with them, but turn aside your foot from their paths:
[For their feet run to do evil, and are swift to shed blood. ]
for nets are not without cause spread for birds.
18 ೧೮ ಇವರಾದರೋ ಸ್ವರಕ್ತವನ್ನು ಸುರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊಂಚುಹಾಕುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಸ್ವಜೀವವನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾದಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ.
For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil.
These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life.
Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.
And she makes proclamation on the top of the walls, and sits by the gates of princes; and at the gates of the city boldly says,
22 ೨೨ “ಮೂಢರೇ, ಮೂಢತನವನ್ನು ಎಂದಿನ ತನಕ ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುವಿರಿ? ಧರ್ಮನಿಂದಕರು ನಿಂದಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಎಷ್ಟುಕಾಲ ಇಷ್ಟಪಡುವರು? ಜ್ಞಾನಹೀನರು ತಿಳಿವಳಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಎಷ್ಟರವರೆಗೆ ಹಗೆಮಾಡುವರು?
So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs.
23 ೨೩ ನನ್ನ ಗದರಿಕೆಗೆ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯಕೊಡಿರಿ; ಇಗೋ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮೇಲೆ ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಸುರಿಸಿ, ನನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ನಿಮಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯಪಡಿಸುವೆನು.
Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.
Since I called, and you did not listen; and I spoke at length, and you gave no heed;
but you set at nothing my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;
therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against [you] when ruin comes upon you:
yes when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and [your] overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.
For it shall be that when you call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find [me].
For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:
neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.
Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.
For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.
But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil.
