Proverbs 19
1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
बोलीवचनमा कुटिल भई मूर्ख हुनुभन्दा आफ्नो सत्यनिष्ठामा हिँड्ने गरिब मानिस उत्तम हो ।
2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good. And he who hastens with his feet sins.
ज्ञानविनाको इच्छा राम्रो हुँदैन, र हतार गर्नेले बाटो बिराउँछ ।
3 The foolishness of a man subverts his way, and his heart rages against Jehovah.
मान्छेको मूर्खताले त्यसको जीवन बर्बाद पार्छ, र त्यसको हृदय परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा क्रोधित हुन्छ ।
4 Wealth adds many friends, but a poor man is separated from his friend.
धनले धेरै मित्रहरू बनाउँछ, तर गरिब मानिसचाहिँ आफ्ना मित्रहरूबाट त्यागिन्छ ।
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who utters lies shall not escape.
झुटो साक्षी दण्डविना उम्कने छैन, र झुटो कुरो बोल्ने फुत्कने छैन ।
6 Many will entreat the favor of a generous man, and every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.
धेरैले उदार मानिसबाट निगाहको लागि बिन्ति गर्ने छन्, र हरेक व्यक्ति उपहार दिनेको मित्र बन्छ ।
7 All the brothers of a poor man regard him inferior, how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues with words, but they are gone.
गरिब मानिसका सबै दाजुभाइले त्यसलाई घृणा गर्छन् भने, त्यसका टाढा जाने मित्रहरूले त झन् कति धेरै त्यसलाई त्याग्लान्! त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई बोलाउँछन्, तर तिनीहरू गइसकेका हुन्छन् ।
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
बुद्धि प्राप्त गर्नेले आफ्नो जीवनलाई प्रेम गर्छ । समझशक्तिलाई जोगाउनेले जे असल छ, त्यो पाउने छ ।
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who utters lies shall perish.
झुटो साक्षी दण्डविना उम्कने छैन, तर झुटो कुरो बोल्नेचाहिँ नष्ट हुने छ ।
10 Luxurious living is not fitting for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over rulers.
मूर्खलाई भोग-विलासमा जिउनु सुहाउँदैन भने कमाराले राजकुमारहरूमाथि शासन चलाउनु झन् कति नराम्रो हो!
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
विवेकले मानिसलाई रिसाउन धिमा बनाउँछ, र चित्त दुखाइलाई बेवास्ता गर्नु त्यसको महिमा हो ।
12 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion, but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
राजाको क्रोध जवान सिंहको गर्जनजस्तै हुन्छ, तर तिनको निगाह घाँसमाथिको शीतजस्तै हुन्छ ।
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
मूर्ख छोरो त्यसको बुबाको लागि विनाश हो, र झगडा गर्ने पत्नीचाहिँ नित्य परिरहने तपतपे झरीजस्तै हो ।
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
घर र धन-सम्पत्ति बुबाआमाबाट आएका हुन्छन्, तर विवेकी पत्नीचाहिँ परमप्रभुबाट आउँछ ।
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
अल्छीपनले मानिसलाई घोर निद्रामा पुर्याउँछ, र काम गर्न अनिच्छुकचाहिँ भोकभोकै हुने छ ।
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul. He who is careless of his ways shall die.
आज्ञा पालन गर्नेले त्यसको जीवनको रखवाली गर्छ, तर आफ्ना मार्गहरूबारे नसोच्नेचाहिँ मर्ने छ ।
17 He who has pity upon a poor man lends to Jehovah, and he will repay him his good deed.
गरिबप्रति दयालु हुनेले परमप्रभुलाई सापट दिन्छ, र उहाँले त्यसले गरेको कामको प्रतिफल दिनुहुने छ ।
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
आशा बाँकी छँदै आफ्नो छोरोलाई अनुशासनमा राख, र त्यसलाई मृत्युण्ड दिने इच्छा नबना ।
19 A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty, for if thou deliver him, thou must do it yet again.
गरम मिजास भएको मानिसले जरिवाना तिर्नैपर्छ । त्यसलाई छुटकारा दिइस् भने तैँले दोस्रो पटक त्यसै गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou may be wise in thy latter end.
सरसल्लाह सुन् र अर्तीलाई स्वीकार गर्, ताकि तेरो जीवनको अन्त्यसम्ममा तँ बुद्धिमान् बन्न सक्छस् ।
21 There are many devices in a man's heart, but the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.
मानिसको हृदयमा धेरै योजनाहरू हुन्छन्, तर परमप्रभुको उद्धेश्य नै स्थिर रहने छ ।
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness, and a poor man is better than a liar.
मानिसले भक्तिको चाह गर्छ, र झुटो बोल्नेभन्दा त गरिब मानिस उत्तम हो ।
23 The fear of Jehovah is life to a man, and he shall abide satisfied. He shall not be visited with evil.
परमप्रभुप्रतिको आदरले मानिसहरूलाई जीवनमा डोर्याउँछ । यो हुने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति सन्तुष्ट हुने छ, र त्यसलाई नोक्सानीले छुँदैन ।
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
अल्छेले आफ्नो हात थालमा गाड्छ, र त्यसलाई आफ्नो मुखसम्म पनि ल्याउँदैन ।
25 Smite a scoffer, and a simple man will learn prudence. And reprove him who has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
गिल्ला गर्नेलाई हिर्का, र निर्बुद्धि मानिस विवेकी बन्ने छ । समझदार मानिसलाई अनुशासनमा राख्, र त्यसले ज्ञान प्राप्त गर्ने छ ।
26 He who does violence to his father, and chases away his mother, is a son that causes shame and brings reproach.
आफ्नो बुबालाई लुट्ने र आफ्नी आमालाई लखेट्ने छोरोले लाज र बेइज्जत ल्याउँछ ।
27 To err from the words of knowledge, cease, my son, to hear instruction.
हे मेरो छोरो, तैँले अर्ती सुन्न छाडिस् भने तँ ज्ञानका वचनहरूबाट बहकिने छस् ।
28 A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows iniquity.
भ्रष्ट साक्षीले न्यायको खिल्ली उडाउँछ, र दुष्टको मुखले अधर्मलाई निलिदिन्छ ।
29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers, and stripes for the back of fools.
गिल्ला गर्नेहरूका लागि दण्डाज्ञा र मूर्खहरूको पिठिउँको लागि कोर्रा तयार छ ।
