Proverbs 31
1 The words of king Lamuel. The vision by which his mother instructed him:
राजा लमूएलका वचनहरू अर्थात् तिनकी आमाले सिकाएकी ईश्वरवाणीः
2 “What, O my beloved? What, O beloved of my womb? What, O beloved of my vows?
हे मेरो छोरो, हे मेरो गर्भको छोरो, हे मेरा भाकलहरूको छोरो, तँ के चाहन्छस्?
3 Do not give your substance to women, or your riches to overthrow kings.
स्त्रीलाई तेरो बल नदे वा राजाहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेहरूलाई तेरा चालहरू नदे ।
4 Not to kings, O Lamuel, not to kings give wine. For there are no secrets where drunkenness reigns.
यो राजाहरूका लागि होइन, हे लमूएल, राजाहरूले दाखमद्य पिउनुहुन्न वा शासकहरूले मदिराको लालसा गर्नुहुन्न ।
5 And perhaps they may drink and forget judgments, and alter the case of the sons of the poor.
किनभने तिनीहरूले पिउँदा तिनीहरूले कानुनी आदेश बिर्सेका हुन्छन्, र कष्टमा परेकाहरू सबैका अधिकारलाई वञ्चित गरिदिन्छन् ।
6 Give strong drink to the grieving, and wine to those who are bitter in soul.
नष्ट भइरहेकाहरूलाई मदिरा दे, र विरहमा भएकाहरूलाई दाखमद्य दे ।
7 Let them drink, and forget their needs, and remember their sorrow no more.
त्यसले पिएर आफ्नो गरिबी भुल्ने छ, र त्यसले आफ्नो कष्टलाई सम्झने छैन ।
8 Open your mouth for the mute and for all the cases of the sons who are passing through.
बोल्न नसक्नेहरू र नष्ट भइरहेकाहरूको अधिकारको लागि बोल् ।
9 Open your mouth, declare what is just, and do justice to the indigent and the poor.
आवाज उठा, र जे ठिक छ त्यसको नापअनुसार न्याय गर्, अनि गरिब र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूको अधिकारको निम्ति बोल् ।
10 Who shall find a strong woman? Far away, and from the furthest parts, is her price.
कसले सुयोग्य पत्नी पाउन सक्छ? उनको मूल्य रत्नहरूभन्दा बहुमूल्य हुन्छ ।
11 The heart of her husband confides in her, and he will not be deprived of spoils.
उनका पतिको हृदयले उनीमाथि भरोसा गर्छन्, र तिनी कहिल्यै गरिब हुने छैनन् ।
12 She will repay him with good, and not evil, all the days of her life.
उनले तिनका लागि आफ्नो जीवनकालभरि खराब कुराहरू नभई असल कुराहरू गर्छिन्,
13 She has sought wool and flax, and she has worked these by the counsel of her hands.
उनले ऊन र सनपाट रोज्छिन्, अनि आफ्ना हातले खुसी भएर काम गर्छिन् ।
14 She has become like a merchant’s ship, bringing her bread from far away.
उनी व्यापारी जहाजझैँ छिन् । उनले टाढाबाट आफ्नो भोजन ल्याउँछिन् ।
15 And she has risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and provisions to her maids.
उनी राती नै उठ्छिन्, र आफ्नो परिवारलाई भोजन बाँड्छिन्, अनि आफ्ना चाकर्नीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका काम बाँडफाँड गरिदिन्छिन् ।
16 She has considered a field and bought it. From the fruit of her own hands, she has planted a vineyard.
उनले सोचविचार गरेर एउटा खेत किन्छिन्, र आफ्नो हातको कमाइले दाखबारी लगाउँछिन् ।
17 She has wrapped her waist with fortitude, and she has strengthened her arm.
उनी शक्तिले आभुषित हुन्छिन् र आफ्ना पाखुराहरूलाई बलियो बनाउँछिन् ।
18 She has tasted and seen that her tasks are good; her lamp shall not be extinguished at night.
उनको लागि केले मुनाफा ल्याउने छ भनी तिनी अनुमान गर्छिन् । रातैभरि उनको बत्ती निभ्दैन ।
19 She has put her hand to strong things, and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle.
उनले आफ्नो हात चर्खाको डन्डामा राख्छिन्, र आफ्नै औँलाले पिउरी समात्छिन् ।
20 She has opened her hand to the needy, and she has extended her hands to the poor.
उनले गरिब मानिसहरूप्रति आफ्नो मुट्ठी खोल्छिन् । उनले खाँचोमा परेकाहरूप्रति आफ्नो हात अगाडि बढाउँछिन् ।
21 She shall not fear, in the cold of snow, for her household. For all those of her household have been clothed two-fold.
आफ्नो परिवारमा हिउँ पर्दा उनी डराउँदिनन्, किनकि उनको परिवारका सबै सदस्यले सिन्दूरे रङका लुगा लगाउँछन् ।
22 She has made embroidered clothing for herself. Fine linen and purple is her garment.
उनले आफ्नो ओछ्यानको लागि तन्ना बनाउँछिन्, र उनले मसिनो गरी बाटेको सुतीको कपडाको लुगा लगाउँछिन् ।
23 Her husband is noble at the gates, when he sits among the senators of the land.
उनका पति सहरको मूल ढोकामा देशका पाका मानिसहरूसित बस्दा सम्मानित हुन्छन् ।
24 She has made finely woven cloth and sold it, and she has delivered a waistband to the Canaanite.
उनले सुती कपडाका वस्त्रहरू बनाएर बेच्छिन्, र व्यापारीहरूलाई पटुका उपलब्ध गराउँछिन् ।
25 Strength and elegance are her clothing, and she will laugh in the final days.
उनी शक्ति र आदरले आभुषित छिन्, अनि आउने समयको लागि उनी हाँस्न सक्छिन् ।
26 She has opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue.
उनले बुद्धिसित आफ्नो मुख खोल्छिन्, र दयाको व्यवस्था उनको जिब्रोमा छ ।
27 She has considered the paths of her household, and she has not eaten her bread in idleness.
उनले आफ्नो परिवारका चालहरूको रेखदेख गर्छिन्, र आलस्यको रोटी खाँदिनन् ।
28 Her sons rose up and predicted great happiness; her husband rose up and praised her.
उनका छोरा-छोरीहरू खडा भएर उनलाई धन्यको भन्छन्, र उनका पतिले यसो भन्दै उनको तारिफ गर्छन्,
29 Many daughters have gathered together riches; you have surpassed them all.
“धेरै स्त्रीहरूले राम्ररी काम गरेका छन्, तर तिमीले तिनीहरू सबैलाई जितेकी छ्यौ ।”
30 Charm is false, and beauty is vain. The woman who fears the Lord, the same shall be praised.
सुन्दरता भ्रामक हुन्छ; सौन्दर्य व्यर्थको हुन्छ, तर परमप्रभुको भय मान्ने स्त्रीको नै प्रशंसा गरिने छ ।
31 Give to her from the fruit of her own hands. And let her works praise her at the gates.
उनको हातको कमाइ उनलाई नै दिनू, र उनका कामहरूले मूल ढोकामा उनको प्रशंसा गरून् ।
