Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has made her house, putting up her seven pillars.
बुद्धिले आफ्नै घर बनाएको छ । त्यसले चट्टानबाट सातवटा खम्बा गाडेको छ ।
2 She has put her fat beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.
त्यसले आफ्ना पशुहरू मारेको छ । त्यसले आफ्नो दाखमद्य मिसाएको छ, र त्यसले आफ्नो टेबुल तयार पारेको छ ।
3 She has sent out her women-servants; her voice goes out to the highest places of the town, saying,
त्यसले आफ्ना दासीहरूलाई बाहिर पठाएको छ । त्यो सहरको सबैभन्दा अग्लो टाकुराबाट चिच्च्याउँछ ।
4 Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:
“निर्बुद्धि को हो? त्यो यहाँ फर्कोस् ।” त्यो समझ नभएको व्यक्तिसित बोल्छ ।
5 Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.
“आएर मेरो खाना खाओ, र मैले मिसाएको दाखमद्य पिओ ।
6 Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.
आफ्ना निर्बुद्धि चालहरू त्यागेर बाँच । समझशक्तिको मार्गमा हिँड ।
7 He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
गिल्ला गर्नेलाई अनुशासनमा राख्नेले दुर्व्यवहार पाउँछ, र दुष्ट व्यक्तिलाई हप्काउनेले अपमान पाउँछ ।
8 Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him.
गिल्ला गर्नेलाई नहप्का, नत्रता त्यसले तँलाई घृणा गर्ने छ । बुद्धिमान् मानिसलाई हप्का, र त्यसले तँलाई प्रेम गर्ने छ ।
9 Give teaching to a wise man, and he will become wiser; give training to an upright man, and his learning will be increased.
बुद्धिमान् व्यक्तिलाई निर्देशन दे, र त्यो अझै बुद्धिमान् हुने छ । धर्मी व्यक्तिलाई सिका, र त्यो अझै सिपालु हुने छ ।
10 The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind
परमप्रभुको भय नै बुद्धिको सुरु हो, र परमपवित्रको ज्ञान नै समझशक्ति हो ।
11 For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.
किनकि मद्वारा तेरा दिनहरू धेरै हुने छन्, र तेरो आयु लामो हुने छ ।
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.
तँ बुद्धिमान् भइस् भने तँ आफ्नै लागि बुद्धमान् हुने छस् । तैँले गिल्ला गरिस् भने तैँले त्यो आफैसित बोक्ने छस् ।”
13 The foolish woman is full of noise; she has no sense at all.
मूर्ख स्त्री अज्ञानी हुन्छे । त्यो अशिक्षित हुन्छे र त्यसलाई केही थाहा हुँदैन ।
14 Seated at the door of her house, in the high places of the town,
त्यो आफ्नो घरको ढोकामा, सहरका सबैभन्दा अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा बस्छे ।
15 Crying out to those who go by, going straight on their way, she says:
त्यसले सडकमा हिँड्नेहरू, आफ्नो बाटोम सिधा अगाडि बढ्नेहरूलाई डाक्दै छे ।
16 Whoever is simple, let him come in here: and to him who is without sense, she says:
“कोही निर्बुद्धि छ भने त्यो यहाँ फर्कोस्,” समझशक्ति नभएकाहरूलाई त्यसले भन्छे ।
17 Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.
“चोरीको पानी मिठो हुन्छ, र गुप्तमा खाएको रोटी स्वादिष्ट हुन्छ ।”
