< Proverbs 5 >

1 [My] son, attend to my wisdom, and apply your ear to my words;
हे मेरो छोरो, मेरो बुद्धिमा ध्यान लगा । मेरो समझशक्तिमा कान थाप ।
2 that you may keep good understanding, and the discretion of my lips gives you a charge. Give no heed to a worthless woman;
यसरी तैँले विवेकको विषयमा सिक्‍ने छस्, र तेरो ओठले ज्ञानको रक्षा गर्न सक्‍ने छ ।
3 for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases your palate:
किनकि व्यभिचारी स्‍त्रीको ओठबाट मह चुहन्छ, र त्यसको मुख तेलभन्दा पनि चिल्लो हुन्छ ।
4 but afterwards you will find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
तर अन्त्यमा त्यो ऐरेलु जत्तिकै तितो हुन्छ, र दुईधारे तरवारजस्तै धारिलो हुन्छ ।
5 For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established. (Sheol h7585)
त्यसको खुट्टा मृत्युतिर ओह्रालो लाग्छ । त्यसका कदमहरू पातालको मार्गमा जान्छन् । (Sheol h7585)
6 For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.
त्यसले जीवनको मार्गको बारेमा सोच्दैन । त्यसका चालहरू भौँतारिन्छन् । कहाँ जाँदै छे भनी त्यसलाई थाहै हुँदैन ।
7 Now then, [my] son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.
अब हे मेरा छोराहरू हो, मेरो कुरा सुन । मेरो मुखका वचनहरू सुन्‍नदेखि नतर्क ।
8 Remove your way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:
तिमीहरूको मार्ग त्यसबाट परै राख, र त्यसको घरको ढोका नजिक नआओ ।
9 lest you give away your life to others, and your substance to the merciless:
यसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो इज्‍जत अरूलाई दिने छैनौ वा तिमीहरूको उमेर क्रुर व्यक्तिलाई दिने सुम्पने छैनौ ।
10 lest strangers be filled with your strength, and your labours come into the houses of strangers;
परदेशीहरूले तिमीहरूको धन-सम्पत्तिमा भोज लगाउने छैनन् । तिमीहरूले जेको लागि काम गरेका छौ, त्यो परदेशीहरूको घरमा जाने छैन ।
11 And you repent at last, when the flesh of your body is consumed,
तिमीहरूका मासु र छाला गलिसक्दा तिमीहरूको जीवनको अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूले विलाप गर्ने छौ ।
12 and you shall say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs!
तिमीहरूले भन्‍ने छौ, “हाय, मैले निर्देशनलाई कसरी घृणा गरेँ, र मेरो हृदयले सुधारलाई तुच्छ ठान्यो!
13 I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear.
मैले मेरा शिक्षकहरूको आज्ञा मानिनँ वा मेरा प्रशिक्षकहरूका कुरा सुन्‍न कान थापिनँ ।
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
सभाको बिचमा, मानिसहरूको जमघटमा म झण्डै पूर्ण रूपमा विनाश भएँ ।”
15 Drink waters out of your own vessels, and out of your own springing wells.
आफ्नै कुण्डको पानी पिउनू, र आफ्नै कुवाबाट बगेको पानी पिउनू ।
16 Let not waters out of your fountain be spilt by you, but let your waters go into your streets.
के तेरो कुवाको पानी जताततै र तेरो खोलाको पानी सार्वजनिक चोकहरूमा बग्‍न दिने?
17 Let them be only your own, and let no stranger partake with you.
ती तेरा लागि मात्र होऊन्, र तँसित भएका परदेशीहरूका लागि नहोऊन् ।
18 Let your fountain of water be [truly] your own; and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
तेरो फुहाराले आशिष् पाओस्, र तेरो युवावस्थाकी पत्‍नीसित तँ आनन्दित भएको होस् ।
19 Let [your] loving hart and your graceful colt company with you, and let her be considered your own, and be with you at all times; for ravished with her love you shall be greatly increased.
किनकि त्यो मायालु मृग र अनुग्रहमय हरिणझैँ छे । त्यसका स्तनहरूले तँलाई सधैँभरि सन्तुष्‍ट पारून् । त्यसको प्रेमद्वारा तँ निरन्तर रूपमा मोहित तुल्याइएको होस् ।
20 Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold yourself in the arms of a woman not your own.
हे मेरो छोरो, तँ किन व्यभिचारी स्‍त्रीद्वारा फसाइने? तैँले किन अनैतिक स्‍त्रीलाई अङ्गालो हाल्ने?
21 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.
मानिसले गर्ने हरेक कुरो परमप्रभुले देख्‍नुहुन्छ, र त्यसका सबै मार्गलाई उहाँले निगरानी गर्नुहुन्छ ।
22 Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.
दुष्‍ट व्यक्ति आफ्नै अधर्मद्वारा पासोमा पर्ने छ । त्यसको पापका डोरीहरूले त्यसलाई कसेर बाँध्‍ने छ ।
23 Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.
निर्देशनको कमीले त्यो मर्ने छ । त्यसको असीम मूर्खताद्वारा त्यसले बाटो बिराउँछ ।
