Proverbs 6
1 My son, if you have taken a pledge on behalf of your friend, then you have bound your hand to an outsider,
हे मेरो छोरो, आफ्नो छिमेकीको ऋणको लागि तँ जमानी बसेको छस्, वा आफूले नचिनेको व्यक्तिको ऋणको लागि तैँले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छस् भने,
2 then you are ensnared by the words of your own mouth, and taken captive by your own words.
तेरो प्रतिज्ञाद्वारा तैँले आफैलाई पासो थापेको छस्, र तेरो मुखको वचनद्वारा तँ पक्रिएको छस् ।
3 Therefore, my son, do what I say, and free yourself, for you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor. Run, hurry, awaken your friend.
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 Do not grant sleep to your eyes, nor let your eyelids slumber.
आँखामा निद्रा पर्न नदे, र तेरा पलकलाई बन्द हुन नदे ।
5 Rescue yourself like a gazelle from the hand, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
सिकारीको हातबाट हरिण उम्केझैँ र व्यधाको हातबाट चरा उम्केझैँ आफैलाई बचा ।
6 Go to the ant, you lazy one, and consider her ways, and so learn wisdom.
ए अल्छे मानिस, कमिलालाई हेर् । त्यसका चालहरूलाई विचार गरेर बुद्धिमानी बन् ।
7 For though she has no ruler, nor instructor, nor leader,
त्यसको कुनै अगुवा, हाकिम वा शासक हुँदैन,
8 she provides meals for herself in the summer, and she gathers at the harvest what she may eat.
तरै पनि ग्रिष्म ऋतुमा त्यसले आफ्नो भोजन तयार गर्छ, र कटनीको बेला आफ्नो खानेकुरा सञ्चय गर्छ ।
9 How long will you slumber, you lazy one? When will you rise up from your sleep?
ए अल्छे मानिस, तँ कहिलेसम्म सुत्ने छस्? तेरो निद्राबाट तँ कहिले ब्युँझने छस्?
10 You will sleep a little, you will slumber a little, you will fold your hands a little to sleep,
क्षणिक सुताइ, क्षणिक उँघाइ र आरामको लागि क्षणिक हात बाँध्ने कामले
11 and then destitution will meet with you, like a traveler, and poverty, like an armed man. Yet truly, if you would be diligent, then your harvest will arrive like a fountain, and destitution will flee far from you.
गरिबी चोरझैँ आउने छ, र आवश्यकताचाहिँ हतियार भिरेको सिपाहीझैँ आउने छ ।
12 An apostate man, a harmful man, walks with a perverse mouth;
बेकम्मा व्यक्ति अर्थात् दुष्ट मानिस आफ्नो जाली बोलिवचनद्वारा जिउँछ ।
13 he winks with the eyes, touches with the foot, speaks with the finger.
त्यसले आफ्ना आँखा झिम्काउँछ, आफ्नो खुट्टाले सङ्केत गर्छ र आफ्ना औँलाले इसारा गर्छ ।
14 With a depraved heart he devises evil, and at all times he sows conflict.
त्यसले आफ्नो हृदयमा छल राखेर दुष्ट योजना बनाउँछ । त्यसले सधैँ विवाद निम्त्याउँछ ।
15 To this one, his perdition will arrive promptly, and he shall be crushed suddenly: he will no longer have any remedy.
त्यसकारण त्यसको विपत्तिले त्यसलाई एकै क्षणमा आक्रमण गर्ने छ । क्षण भरमा नै निको नहुने गरी त्यो टुट्ने छ ।
16 Six things there are that the Lord hates, and the seventh, his soul detests:
छवटा कुरा छन् जसलाई परमप्रभु घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, र सातौचाहिँ उहाँको लागि घिनलाग्दो छ ।
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
अहङ्कारी व्यक्तिका आँखा, झुट बोल्ने जिब्रो, निर्दोष मानिसहरूको रगत बगाउने हात,
18 a heart that devises the most wicked thoughts, feet running swiftly unto evil,
दुष्ट योजनाहरू रच्ने हृदय, खराबी गर्न अग्रसर हुने खुट्टा,
19 a deceitful witness bringing forth lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
झुट बोल्ने साक्षी र दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा विवाद उत्पन्न गर्ने मानिस ।
20 My son, preserve the precepts of your father, and do not dismiss the law of your mother.
हे मेरो छोरो, आफ्नो बुबाको आज्ञा मान्, र आफ्नी आमाको शिक्षालाई नत्याग् ।
21 Bind them to your heart unceasingly, and encircle them around your throat.
तिनलाई सधैँ तेरो हृदयमा बाँधिराख् । तिनलाई तेरो गलाको वरिपरि बाँधिराख् ।
22 When you walk, let them keep step with you. When you sleep, let them guard you. And when you keep watch, speak with them.
तँ हिँड्दा तिनले तँलाई अगुवाइ गर्ने छन् । तँ सुत्दा तिनले तेरो हेरचाह गर्ने छन्, र तँ ब्युँझँदा तिनले तँलाई सिकाउने छन् ।
23 For commandment is a lamp, and law is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life.
किनकि आज्ञाहरू बत्ती र शिक्षा ज्योति हुन् । निर्देशनद्वारा आउने सुधार जीवनका मार्ग हुन् ।
24 So may they guard you from an evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the outsider.
यसले तँलाई अनैतिक स्त्रीबाट बचाउने छ, र त्यसका चिल्ला वचनहरूबाट जोगाउने छ ।
25 Let not your heart desire her beauty; do not be captivated by her winks.
त्यसको सुन्दरताको कारण तेरो हृदयमा कामवासनाले नजल, र त्यसका आँखाले तँलाई नफसाओस् ।
26 For the price of a prostitute is only one loaf. Yet the woman seizes the precious soul of a man.
वेश्यासितको सुताइको मूल्य रोटीको एउटा टुक्रा हुन सक्छ, तर अर्काकी पत्नीको लागि तैँले आफ्नो जीवनै गुमाउनुपर्ने हुन सक्छ ।
27 Would a man be able to conceal fire in his bosom, so that his garments would not burn?
के आफ्नो लुगा नडढाइकन कसैले आफ्नो काखमा आगो राख्न सक्छ?
28 Or could he walk over burning coals, so that his feet would not be burned?
के आफ्नो खुट्टा नजलाइकन कुनै मानिस आगोको भुङ्ग्रोमा हिँड्न सक्छ?
29 So also, he who enters to the wife of his neighbor shall not be clean when he touches her.
आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीसित सुत्ने पुरुष पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छ । त्यससित सुत्ने मानिस दण्डविना उम्कने छैन ।
30 Not so great is the fault when someone has stolen. For he steals so as to satisfy a hungry soul.
भोकाएको मानिसले आफ्नो भोक मेट्न चोरी गर्यो भने मानिसहरूले त्यसलाई तुच्छ ठान्दैनन् ।
31 Also, if he is apprehended, he shall repay sevenfold and hand over all the substance of his house.
तापनि त्यो पक्राउ पर्यो भने त्यसले आफूले चोरेको सात गुणा बढी तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो घरमा भएको हरेक थोक दिनुपर्ने हुन सक्छ ।
32 But whoever is an adulterer, because of the emptiness of his heart, will destroy his own soul.
व्यभिचार गर्ने व्यक्ति समझविनाको हुन्छ । यसो गर्नेले आफैलाई नष्ट पार्छ ।
33 He gathers shame and dishonor to himself, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
त्यो चोट र लाजको हकदार बन्छ, र त्यसको अपमान मेटिने छैन ।
34 For the jealousy and fury of the husband will not spare him on the day of vindication,
किनकि लालचले मानिसलाई क्रोधित तुल्याउँछ । त्यसले बदला लिँदा कृपा देखाउने छैन ।
35 nor will he agree to the pleadings of anyone, nor will he accept, as repayment, a multitude of gifts.
त्यसले कुनै क्षतिपूर्ति स्वीकार गर्ने छैन, र धेरै घुस दिए तापनि त्यसलाई किन्न सकिँदैन ।
