< Proverbs 1 >
1 The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
दाऊदका छोरा इस्राएलका राजा सोलोमनको हितोपदेशः
2 To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:
यी हितोपदेशहरू बुद्धि र निर्देशनक कुराहरू सिकाउन र अन्तर्दृष्टिका वचनहरू सिकाउनलाई हो,
3 To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:
ताकि जे ठिक, न्यायी र उचित छ त्यो गरेर बाँच्नलाई तिमीले निर्देशन प्राप्त गर्न सक ।
4 To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:
यी हितोपदेशहरू सोझाहरूलाई बुद्धि दिन र युवाहरूलाई ज्ञान र समझदारी दिनलाई पनि हो ।
5 (The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided: )
बुद्धिमानी मानिसहरूले सुनून् र तिनीहरूको ज्ञान बढाऊन्, अनि विवेकशील मानिसहरूले मार्गदर्शन पाऊन्,
6 To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
जसद्वारा तिनीहरूले हितोपदेशहरू, दृष्टान्तहरू, बुद्धिमानीहरूका वचनहरू र आहानहरू बुझून् ।
7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.
परमप्रभुको भय नै ज्ञानको सुरु हो । मूर्खहरूले बुद्धि र निर्देशनलाई तुच्छ ठान्छ ।
8 My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:
हे मरो छोरो, आफ्नो छोरोको निर्देशन सुन्, र आफ्नी आमाका नियमहरूलाई पाखा नलगा ।
9 For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.
ती तेरो शिरमा अनुग्रहको माला हुने छन्, र तेरो गलामा सम्मानको हार हुने छन् ।
10 My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.
हे मेरो छोरो, पापीहरूले तँलाई तिनीहरूकै पापमा बहकाउन खोजे भने, तिनीहरूको पछि नलाग् ।
11 If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;
तिनीहरूले भन्लान्, “हामीसित आऊ । उक्तपातको लागि ढुकिबसौँ । विनाकारण लुकेर निर्दोष मानिसहरूलाई आक्रमण गरौँ ।
12 Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death; (Sheol )
स्वस्थहरूलाई पातालले निलेझैँ तिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै निलौँ, र तिनीहरूलाई खाडलमा खस्नेहरूलाई झैँ गरौँ । (Sheol )
13 Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth;
हामीले सबै किसिमका बहुमूल्य थोकहरू पाउने छौँ । तिनीहरूबाट हामीले चोरेका थोकहरूले हामी आफ्ना घरहरू भर्ने छौँ ।
14 Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:
तिमी हामीसित साझेदार होऊ । हामी सबैको एउटै थैलो हुने छ ।”
15 My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:
हे मेरो छोरो, तिनीहरूसँग त्यस मार्गमा नचल । तिनीहरू हिँड्ने बाटोमा तेरा पाउलाई छुन नदे ।
16 For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.
तिनीहरूका पाउ खराबीको लागि दौडन्छन्, र तिनीहरू रगत बगाउन हतारिन्छन् ।
17 Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:
किनकि कुनै पनि पक्षीको दृष्टिमा जाल फ्याँक्नु बेकाम्मा हुन्छ ।
18 And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves.
यी मानिसहरू तिनीहरूको आफ्नै रगतको लागि ढुकिबस्छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्नै ज्यानको लागि पासो थाप्छन् ।
19 Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.
अन्यायद्वारा धन थुपार्ने हरेकका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छन् । अन्यायद्वारा कमाउनेहरूको जीवन त्यही धनले छिनेर लैजान्छ ।
20 Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;
बुद्धि सडकमा चर्को गरी कराउँछ, र खुला ठाउँहरूमा त्यसले आफ्नो सोर उचाल्छ ।
21 Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:
होहल्लाले भरिएका सडकहरूको माथि त्यो कराउँछ, र सहरको मूल ढोकामा त्यसले भन्छ,
22 How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?
“हे निर्बुद्धि मानिसहरू हो, तिमीहरू कहिलेसम्म निर्बुद्धि भइरहन्छौ? हे गिल्ला गर्नेहरू हो, तिमीहरू कहिलेसम्म गिल्ला गर्नमा रमाउँछौ? र हे मूर्खहरू हो, तिमीहरू कहिलेसम्म ज्ञानलाई घृणा गर्छौ?
23 Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.
मेरो सुधारलाई ध्यान देओ । म तिमीहरूमाथि मेरा विचार खन्याइदिने छु । म तिमीहरूलाई मेरा वचनहरू ज्ञात गराइदिने छु ।
24 Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;
मैले बोलाएको छु, तर तिमीहरूले सुन्न इन्कार गरेका छौ । मैले मेरा हात फैलाएँ, तर ध्यान दिने कोही थिएन ।
25 You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:
तिमीहरूले मेरा सबै निर्देशनलाई बेवास्ता गरेका छौ, र मेरो सुधारलाई वास्तै गरेका छैनौ ।
26 So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;
तिमीहरूमाथि विपत्ति आइपर्दा म खिसी गर्ने छु; त्रास आउँदा म तिमीहरूलाई उपहास गर्ने छु-
27 When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.
जब तिमीहरूमाथि आँधीबेहरीझैँ डरलाग्दो त्रास आउने छ, र भुमरीझैँ विपत्ति तिमीहरूमाथि मडारिन्छ, र सङ्कष्ट र पीडा तिमीहरूमाथि आउँछन् ।
28 Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:
तब तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गर्ने छन्, तर मे जवाफ दिने छैनँ । तिनीहरूले मेरो औधी खोजी गर्ने छन्, तर मलाई भेट्टाउने छैनन् ।
29 For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:
तिनीहरूले ज्ञानलाई घृणा गर्ने भएकाले र परमप्रभुको भयलाई नरोजेकाले,
30 They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them.
तिनीहरूले मेरो निर्देशनलाई मानेनन्, र मेरो सुधारलाई तुच्छ ठाने ।
31 So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full.
तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूका चालको फल खाने छन्, र तिनीहरूका षड्यन्त्रको फलले तिनीहरू भरिने छन् ।
32 For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction.
किनकि निर्बुद्धिहरू फर्कंदा तिनीहरू मारिन्छन्, र मूर्खहरूको तटस्थताले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्ने छन् ।
33 But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.
तर मेरो कुरा सुन्ने सुरक्षामा जिउने छ, र कुनै पनि विपत्तिको डरैविना ढुक्कसित बस्ने छ ।”
