"Incline your ear" nghĩa là gì?


"Incline your ear" có incline là nghiêng mình, cúi đầu -> cụm từ này nghĩa là chăm chú, chú ý lắng nghe ai nói. 

Ví dụ
My son, if you receive my words, and treasure (quý trọng) my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom (trí khôn), and apply your heart to understanding ... Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

“Incline your ear to wisdom,” Solomon said. Wisdom does not simply reside (tự có) in us. It requires effort on our part to gain it. This is what he meant when he said, “apply your heart to understanding.” We must have a sincere (thành thật) desire (mong muốn) for wisdom as something necessary for our lives. This desire ought to be so great that it makes us “cry out for discernment (sáng suốt).”

The Medrash (Bereishis Rabbah 39:1) discusses this nisayon. Rabi Yitzchok quoted a posuk: “Hear O daughter and see and incline your ear: forget your people and the house of your father” (Tehillim 45:11) Hashem’s intention in telling Avrohom “lech lecha” was not merely (chỉ là) to leave his home and surroundings physically, but rather to become a totally different person. 

That colossal (to lớn) atmosphere (không khí) with its overwhelming and eye-catching costumes whispers us a lot. But you need to incline your ear to hear it. Here is what I could hear and even see.
