Proverbs 6
1 [My] son, if you become surety for your friend, you shall deliver your hand to an enemy.
हे मेरो छोरो, आफ्नो छिमेकीको ऋणको लागि तँ जमानी बसेको छस्, वा आफूले नचिनेको व्यक्तिको ऋणको लागि तैँले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छस् भने,
2 For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth.
तेरो प्रतिज्ञाद्वारा तैँले आफैलाई पासो थापेको छस्, र तेरो मुखको वचनद्वारा तँ पक्रिएको छस् ।
3 [My] son, do what I command you, and deliver yourself; for on your friend's account you are come into the power of evil [men]: faint not, but stir up even your friend for whom you are become surety.
हे मेरो छोरो, तेरो वचनद्वारा तँ पक्राउ पर्दा यसो गरेर आफैलाई बचा, किनकि तँ तेरो छिमेकीको हातमा परिसकेको छस् । गएर आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्या, र तेरो छिमेकीको सामु आफ्नो मामला राख ।
4 Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber with your eyelids;
आँखामा निद्रा पर्न नदे, र तेरा पलकलाई बन्द हुन नदे ।
5 that you may deliver yourself as a doe out of the toils, and as a bird out of a snare.
सिकारीको हातबाट हरिण उम्केझैँ र व्यधाको हातबाट चरा उम्केझैँ आफैलाई बचा ।
6 Go to the ant, O sluggard; and see, and emulate his ways, and become wiser than he.
ए अल्छे मानिस, कमिलालाई हेर् । त्यसका चालहरूलाई विचार गरेर बुद्धिमानी बन् ।
7 For whereas he has no husbandry, nor any one to compel him, and is under no master,
त्यसको कुनै अगुवा, हाकिम वा शासक हुँदैन,
8 he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest. Or go to the bee, and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly she is engaged in her work; whose labours kings and private men use for health, and she is desired and respected by all: though weak in body, she is advanced by honouring wisdom.
तरै पनि ग्रिष्म ऋतुमा त्यसले आफ्नो भोजन तयार गर्छ, र कटनीको बेला आफ्नो खानेकुरा सञ्चय गर्छ ।
9 How long will you lie, O sluggard? and when will you awake out of sleep?
ए अल्छे मानिस, तँ कहिलेसम्म सुत्ने छस्? तेरो निद्राबाट तँ कहिले ब्युँझने छस्?
10 You sleep a little, and you rest a little, and you slumber a short [time], and you fold your arms over your breast a little.
क्षणिक सुताइ, क्षणिक उँघाइ र आरामको लागि क्षणिक हात बाँध्ने कामले
11 Then poverty comes upon you as an evil traveller, and lack as a swift courier: but if you be diligent, your harvest shall arrive as a fountain, and poverty shall flee away as a bad courier.
गरिबी चोरझैँ आउने छ, र आवश्यकताचाहिँ हतियार भिरेको सिपाहीझैँ आउने छ ।
12 A foolish man and a transgressor goes in ways that are not good.
बेकम्मा व्यक्ति अर्थात् दुष्ट मानिस आफ्नो जाली बोलिवचनद्वारा जिउँछ ।
13 And the same winks with the eye, and makes a sign with his foot, and teaches with the beckonings of his fingers.
त्यसले आफ्ना आँखा झिम्काउँछ, आफ्नो खुट्टाले सङ्केत गर्छ र आफ्ना औँलाले इसारा गर्छ ।
14 [His] perverse heart devises evils: at all times such a one causes troubles to a city.
त्यसले आफ्नो हृदयमा छल राखेर दुष्ट योजना बनाउँछ । त्यसले सधैँ विवाद निम्त्याउँछ ।
15 Therefore his destruction shall come suddenly; overthrow and irretrievable ruin.
त्यसकारण त्यसको विपत्तिले त्यसलाई एकै क्षणमा आक्रमण गर्ने छ । क्षण भरमा नै निको नहुने गरी त्यो टुट्ने छ ।
16 For he rejoices in all things which God hates, and he is ruined by reason of impurity of soul.
छवटा कुरा छन् जसलाई परमप्रभु घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, र सातौचाहिँ उहाँको लागि घिनलाग्दो छ ।
17 The eye of the haughty, a tongue unjust, hands shedding the blood of the just;
अहङ्कारी व्यक्तिका आँखा, झुट बोल्ने जिब्रो, निर्दोष मानिसहरूको रगत बगाउने हात,
18 and a heart devising evil thoughts, and feet hastening to do evil, —[are hateful to God].
दुष्ट योजनाहरू रच्ने हृदय, खराबी गर्न अग्रसर हुने खुट्टा,
19 An unjust witness kindles falsehoods, and brings on quarrels between brethren.
झुट बोल्ने साक्षी र दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा विवाद उत्पन्न गर्ने मानिस ।
20 [My] son, keep the laws of your father, and reject not the ordinances of your mother:
हे मेरो छोरो, आफ्नो बुबाको आज्ञा मान्, र आफ्नी आमाको शिक्षालाई नत्याग् ।
21 but bind them upon your soul continually, and hang them as a chain about your neck.
तिनलाई सधैँ तेरो हृदयमा बाँधिराख् । तिनलाई तेरो गलाको वरिपरि बाँधिराख् ।
22 Whenever you walk, lead this along and let it be with you; that it may talk with you when you wake.
तँ हिँड्दा तिनले तँलाई अगुवाइ गर्ने छन् । तँ सुत्दा तिनले तेरो हेरचाह गर्ने छन्, र तँ ब्युँझँदा तिनले तँलाई सिकाउने छन् ।
23 For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction:
किनकि आज्ञाहरू बत्ती र शिक्षा ज्योति हुन् । निर्देशनद्वारा आउने सुधार जीवनका मार्ग हुन् ।
24 to keep you continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue.
यसले तँलाई अनैतिक स्त्रीबाट बचाउने छ, र त्यसका चिल्ला वचनहरूबाट जोगाउने छ ।
25 Let not the desire of beauty overcome you, neither be you caught by your eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids.
त्यसको सुन्दरताको कारण तेरो हृदयमा कामवासनाले नजल, र त्यसका आँखाले तँलाई नफसाओस् ।
26 For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.
वेश्यासितको सुताइको मूल्य रोटीको एउटा टुक्रा हुन सक्छ, तर अर्काकी पत्नीको लागि तैँले आफ्नो जीवनै गुमाउनुपर्ने हुन सक्छ ।
27 Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments?
के आफ्नो लुगा नडढाइकन कसैले आफ्नो काखमा आगो राख्न सक्छ?
28 or will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet?
के आफ्नो खुट्टा नजलाइकन कुनै मानिस आगोको भुङ्ग्रोमा हिँड्न सक्छ?
29 So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her.
आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीसित सुत्ने पुरुष पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छ । त्यससित सुत्ने मानिस दण्डविना उम्कने छैन ।
30 It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul:
भोकाएको मानिसले आफ्नो भोक मेट्न चोरी गर्यो भने मानिसहरूले त्यसलाई तुच्छ ठान्दैनन् ।
31 but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods.
तापनि त्यो पक्राउ पर्यो भने त्यसले आफूले चोरेको सात गुणा बढी तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो घरमा भएको हरेक थोक दिनुपर्ने हुन सक्छ ।
32 But the adulterer through lack of sense procures destruction to his soul.
व्यभिचार गर्ने व्यक्ति समझविनाको हुन्छ । यसो गर्नेले आफैलाई नष्ट पार्छ ।
33 He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off.
त्यो चोट र लाजको हकदार बन्छ, र त्यसको अपमान मेटिने छैन ।
34 For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
किनकि लालचले मानिसलाई क्रोधित तुल्याउँछ । त्यसले बदला लिँदा कृपा देखाउने छैन ।
35 He will not forego [his] enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts.
त्यसले कुनै क्षतिपूर्ति स्वीकार गर्ने छैन, र धेरै घुस दिए तापनि त्यसलाई किन्न सकिँदैन ।
