2 ତିନିଦିନ ପରେ ଅଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷମାନେ ଛାଉଣୀ ମଧ୍ଯ ଦଇେ ଗଲେ।
3 ନତେୃବର୍ଗଗଣ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶ ଦେଲେ, ଯେ ତବେଳେ ଲବେୀୟ ଯାଜକମାନେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇେ ଯିବେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍।
4 କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଅଧିକ ନିକଟବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ହବେନାହିଁ। ତାଙ୍କ ପଛ ରେ 2,000 ହାତ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ଓ ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ମଧିଅରେ ବ୍ଯବଧାନ ରେ ରହିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏ ବାଟ ଦଇେ ଆଗରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାଇନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କର, ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଜାଣିପାରିବ ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କେଉଁ ରାସ୍ତା ରେ ୟିବା ଉଚିତ୍।
5 ତା'ପରେ ୟିହୋଶୂଯ ତାଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ନିଜକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପବିତ୍ର କର। ଆସନ୍ତା କାଲି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବେ।
6 ତା'ପରେ ୟିହୋଶୂଯ ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ଉଠାଅ ଏବଂ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ନଦୀ ମଧିଅରେ ଏହା ବହି ନିଅ। ତେଣୁ ଯାଜକମାନେ ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ବହନ କରି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଆଗେ ଆଗେ ଚାଲିଲେ।
7 ତା'ପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଯିହାଶୂେୟଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଆଜି ମୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସମକ୍ସ୍ଟଦାଯ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସମ୍ଭ୍ରାନ୍ତ କରିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିବି। ଏଥି ରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଜାଣିବେ ଯେ ମୁ ଯେପରି ମାଶାଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ଥିଲି, ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ସହେିପରି ଅଛି।
8 ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ବାହକ ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କୁ କକ୍ସ୍ଟହ, 'ପାଣି ରେ ପଶିବା ପୂର୍ବରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ କୂଳ ରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେ ରକ୍ସ୍ଟହ।'
9 ତା'ପରେ ୟିହୋଶୂଯ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଏହିଠାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସ ଓ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର କଥାମାନ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣ।
10 ଜୀବିତ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଏହା ଦ୍ବାରା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଜାଣି ପାରିବ। ସେ, କିଣାନୀଯ ହିତ୍ତୀଯ, ହିଦ୍ଦୀଯ ପରିସୀଯ, ଗିର୍ଗାଶୀଯ, ଇ ମାରେୀଯ ଓ ୟିବୂଷୀଯ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସହେି ଭୂମିରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ତଡି ଦବେେ।
11 ଏହା ଏକ ପ୍ରମାଣ। ସମଗ୍ର ଜଗତର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପାର ହାଇେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ଯାଉଅଛି, ଯେ ହତେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ ପାର ହେଉଅଛ।
12 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବାରଜଣ ଲୋକଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବାଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ବାରଜଣ ପରିବାରରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଜଣ ଜଣ କରି ବାରଜଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବାଛ।
13 ଯେତବେେଳେ ଯାଜକଗଣ ସମଗ୍ର ଜଗତର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ବହନ କରି ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ ରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିବେ, ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନର ପ୍ରବାହ ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଯେିବ। ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନର ପାଣିସବୁ ରୋକିବ ଓ ଗୋଟିଏ ରାଶି ହାଇେ ସ୍ଥଗିତ ରହିବ।
14 ଯେତବେେଳେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଛାଉଣୀ ପକାଇଥିବା ସ୍ଥାନରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ ପାର ହବୋପାଇଁ ୟାତ୍ରା ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲେ, ଯାଜକମାନେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଆଗେ ଆଗେ ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ବହି ନେଉଥିଲେ।
15 ଯଦିଓ ଶସ୍ଯ ଅମଳ ସମୟରେ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ ସର୍ବଦା କୂଳ ଲଙ୍ଘନ କରୁଥାଏ, ଯାଜକମାନେ ନଦୀ ଶର୍ୟ୍ଯା ରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କଲା ମାତ୍ ରେ ହଠାତ୍ ତା'ର ପ୍ରବାହ ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଗେଲା।
16 ତା'ପରେ ଉପରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବହକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିବା ଜଳ ପ୍ରବାହ ହଠାତ୍ ସର୍ତ୍ତନ ସହର ନିକଟବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ଆଦମ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଗେଲା ଓ ଗୋଟିଏ ରାଶି ରେ ପରିଣତ ହାଇେ ସ୍ଥଗିତ ହେଲା। ଏବଂ ମୃତ ସମକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଯାଉଥିବା ନିମ୍ନଗାମୀ ଜଳ ସୋର୍ତ ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଗେଲା। ଇତ୍ଯବସ ରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯିରୀହାେ ନିକଟରେ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ ପାର ହେଲେ।
17 ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିଯମ ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ନଇେ ଯାଉଥିବା ଯାଜକଗଣ ଦୃଢ ଭାବରେ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀର ମଝି ରେ ଅଟକି ଗଲେ, ଯେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଖିଲା ଭୂମିରେ ନଦୀ ପାର ହାଇେ ନାହାନ୍ତି।
1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
Proverbs 26 in Tamil and English
1 जैसा धूपकाल में हिम का, और कटनी के समय जल का पड़ना, वैसा ही मूर्ख की महिमा भी ठीक नहीं होती।
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 जैसे गौरिया घूमते घूमते और सूपाबेनी उड़ते-उड़ते नहीं बैठती, वैसे ही व्यर्थ शाप नहीं पड़ता।
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 घोड़े के लिये कोड़ा, गदहे के लिये बाग, और मूर्खों की पीठ के लिये छड़ी है।
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
4 मूर्ख को उस की मूर्खता के अनुसार उत्तर न देना ऐसा न हो कि तू भी उसके तुल्य ठहरे।
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 मूर्ख को उसकी मूढ़ता के अनुसार उत्तर न देना, ऐसा न हो कि वह अपने लेखे बुद्धिमान ठहरे।
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 जो मूर्ख के हाथ से संदेशा भेजता है, वह मानो अपने पांव में कुल्हाड़ा मारता और विष पीता है।
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 जैसे लंगड़े के पांव लड़खड़ाते हैं, वैसे ही मूर्खों के मुंह में नीतिवचन होता है।
The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 जैसे पत्थरों के ढेर में मणियों की थैली, वैसे ही मूर्ख को महिमा देनी होती है।
As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 जैसे मतवाले के हाथ में कांटा गड़ता है, वैसे ही मूर्खों का कहा हुआ नीतिवचन भी दु:खदाई होता है।
As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 जैसा कोई तीरन्दाज जो अकारण सब को मारता हो, वैसा ही मूर्खों वा बटोहियों का मजदूरी में लगाने वाला भी होता है।
The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 जैसे कुत्ता अपनी छाँट को चाटता है, वैसे ही मूर्ख अपनी मूर्खता को दुहराता है।
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 यदि तू ऐसा मनुष्य देखे जो अपनी दृष्टि में बुद्धिमान बनता हो, तो उस से अधिक आशा मूर्ख ही से है।
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 आलसी कहता है, कि मार्ग में सिंह है, चौक में सिंह है!
The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 जैसे किवाड़ अपनी चूल पर घूमता है, वैसे ही आलसी अपनी खाट पर करवटें लेता है।
As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15 आलसी अपना हाथ थाली में तो डालता है, परन्तु आलस्य के कारण कौर मुंह तक नहीं उठाता।
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 आलसी अपने को ठीक उत्तर देने वाले सात मनुष्यों से भी अधिक बुद्धिमान समझता है।
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 जो मार्ग पर चलते हुए पराये झगड़े में विघ्न डालता है, सो वह उसके समान है, जो कुत्ते को कानों से पकड़ता है।
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 जैसा एक पागल जो जंगली लकडिय़ां और मृत्यु के तीर फेंकता है,
As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 वैसा ही वह भी होता है जो अपने पड़ोसी को धोखा दे कर कहता है, कि मैं तो ठट्ठा कर रहा था।
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20 जैसे लकड़ी न होने से आग बुझती है, उसी प्रकार जहां कानाफूसी करने वाला नहीं वहां झगड़ा मिट जाता है।
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21 जैसा अंगारों में कोयला और आग में लकड़ी होती है, वैसा ही झगड़े के बढ़ाने के लिये झगडालू होता है।
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 कानाफूसी करने वाले के वचन, स्वादिष्ट भोजन के समान भीतर उतर जाते हैं।
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 जैसा कोई चान्दी का पानी चढ़ाया हुअ मिट्टी का बर्तन हो, वैसा ही बुरे मन वाले के प्रेम भरे वचन होते हैं।
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 जो बैरी बात से तो अपने को भोला बनाता है, परन्तु अपने भीतर छल रखता है,
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 उसकी मीठी-मीठी बात प्रतीति न करना, क्योंकि उसके मन में सात घिनौनी वस्तुएं रहती हैं;
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 चाहे उसका बैर छल के कारण छिप भी जाए, तौभी उसकी बुराई सभा के बीच प्रगट हो जाएगी।
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 जो गड़हा खोदे, वही उसी में गिरेगा, और जो पत्थर लुढ़काए, वह उलट कर उसी पर लुढ़क आएगा।
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 जिस ने किसी को झूठी बातों से घायल किया हो वह उस से बैर रखता है, और चिकनी चुपड़ी बात बोलने वाला विनाश का कारण होता है॥
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
