Proverbs 13
1 A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
बुद्धिमान् छोरोले आफ्नो बुबाको अर्ती सुन्छ, तर गिल्ला गर्नेले हप्कीलाई सुन्दैन ।
2 A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
आफ्नो मुखको फलबाट मानिसले असल थोकहरूको भोग गर्दछ, तर विश्वासघातिको भोक हिंसाको लागि हुन्छ ।
3 He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
आफ्नो मुखको रखवाली गर्नेले आफ्नो जीवनको रक्षा गर्छ, तर असावधान बोलीवचनले आफ्नै जीवन बर्बाद गर्ने छ ।
4 The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
अल्छे मानिसको भोकले लालस गर्छ, तर केही पाउँदैन, जब कि परिश्रमी मानिसको भोक पूर्ण रूपमा सन्तुष्ट हुने छ ।
5 The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
धर्मात्माले झुटलाई घृणा गर्छ, तर दुष्टले आफैलाई घृणित तुल्याउँछ, र लज्जास्पद कुरो गर्छ ।
6 Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
धार्मिकताले ती मानिसहरूको रक्षा गर्छ, जो आफ्नो मार्गमा दोषरहित छन्, तर दुष्टताले पाप गर्नेहरूलाई पल्टाइदिन्छ ।
7 A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
कोही मानिस धनी भएजस्तो गर्छ, जब कि त्योसँग केही हुँदैन, र कसैले चाहिँ आफूसित भएको हरेक थोक दिन्छ, र पनि त्यो साँच्चै धनी हुन्छ ।
8 A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
धनी मानिसको जीवनको छुटकारा उसको सम्पत्ति हो, तर गरिब मानिसले धम्की सुन्नुपर्दैन ।
9 There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
धर्मात्माको बत्ती बलिरहन्छ, तर दुष्टको बत्ती निभाइने छ ।
10 The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
घमण्डले केवल द्वन्द्व निम्त्याउँछ, तर असल सल्लाह सुन्नेसित बुद्धि हुन्छ ।
11 Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
बेइमानीसित कमाएको धनको महत्त्व घट्दै जान्छ, तर आफ्नो हातले परिश्रम गरेर कमाएको धन बढ्दै जान्छ ।
12 Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
आशालाई स्थगित गरिँदा यसले हृदय छिया-छिया पार्छ, तर पुरा भएको तृष्णा जीवनको रुख हो ।
13 He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
अर्तीलाई तुच्छ ठान्नेले आफैमा विनाश ल्याउँछ, तर आज्ञालाई आदर गर्नेलाई इनाम दिइने छ ।
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसको शिक्षा जीवनको फुहारा हो, जसले तपाईंलाई मृत्युका जालहरूबाट जोगाउँछ ।
15 Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.
असल अन्तर्दृष्टिले स्नेह प्राप्त गर्छ, तर विश्वासघातिको चाल कहिल्यै टुङ्गोमा आउँदैन ।
16 A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
समझदार मानिसले आफ्नो ज्ञानअनुसार हरेक निर्णय गर्छ, तर मूर्खले आफ्नो मूर्खताको तमाशा देखाउँछ ।
17 A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.
दुष्ट दूत सङ्कष्टमा फस्छ, तर विश्वासयोग्य दूतले मिलाप ल्याउँछ ।
18 Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.
अर्तीलाई बेवास्ता गर्नेले गरिबी र लाज पाउने छ, तर सुधारबाट सिक्ने जनमा आदर आउने छ ।
19 To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.
पुरा भएको इच्छा भोकको लागि मिठो हुन्छ, तर मूर्खहरू आफ्नो दुष्टताबाट फर्कन मन पराउँदैनन् ।
20 Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूसित हिँड र तिमी पनि बुद्धिमान् हुने छौ, तर मूर्खहरूको सङ्गत गर्नेले नोक्सानी भोग्ने छ ।
21 Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
विपत्तिले पापीहरूलाई खेद्ने छ, तर धर्मी मानिसले भलाइको इनाम पाउने छ ।
22 The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
असल व्यक्तिले आफ्ना नाति-नातिनाहरूका निम्ति पैतृक-सम्पत्ति छाड्छ, तर पापीको सम्पत्ति धर्मी व्यक्तिको लागि सञ्चय गरिन्छ ।
23 There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
गरिब मानिसको नजोतिएको खेतबारीले प्रशस्तै अन्न उब्जाउला, तर अन्यायले त्यसलाई खोसेर लैजान्छ ।
24 He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
आफ्नो छोरोलाई अनुशासनमा नराख्नेले उसलाई घृणा गर्छ, तर आफ्नो छोरोलाई प्रेम गर्नेले उसलाई होसियारीसाथ अर्ती दिन्छ ।
25 The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.
आफ्नो भोक तृप्त नभएसम्म धर्मात्माले खान्छ, तर दुष्टको पेट सधैँ भोकभोकै हुन्छ ।
