< Proverbs 27 >

1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow, for thou knowest not what a day will bring forth.
भोलीको विषयमा घमण्ड नगर्, किनकि एकै दिनमा के आइपर्छ भनी तँलाई थाहा छैन ।
2 Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
कसैले तेरो प्रशंसा गरोस्, तेरै आफ्नै मुखले होइन; परदेशीले गरोस्, तेरो ओठले होइन ।
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than them both.
ढुङ्गाको बोझ र बालुवाको ओजनलाई विचार गर् । मूर्खको चिढ्याइ ती दुवैभन्दा गरुङ्गो हुन्छ ।
4 Fury is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
झोँकको क्रोध र रिसको बाढी छ, तर डाहको सामु को खडा हुन सक्छ र?
5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
गुप्‍त प्रेमभन्दा खुला हप्की बेस हो ।
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
मित्रले दिएको चोट पत्यारलाग्दो हुन्छ, तर शत्रुले तँलाई प्रचुर मात्रामा चुम्बन गर्न सक्छ ।
7 The full soul trampleth on a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
पेटभरि खाएको मानिसले महको चाकालाई पनि इन्कार गर्छ, तर भोकाएको व्यक्तिलाई हरेक तितो कुरो मिठो लाग्छ ।
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
आफ्नो गुँडबाट भट्किएर निस्केको चरा आफ्नो बासस्थानबाट बरालिएको मानिसझैँ हुन्छ ।
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; and the sweetness of one's friend is [the fruit] of hearty counsel.
अत्तर र धूपले हृदयलाई आनन्द दिन्छ, तर मित्रको मिठास उसको इमानदार सल्लाहबाट आउँछ ।
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
आफ्नो मित्र र मित्रको बुबालाई नत्याग्, अनि तेरो विपत्तिको दिनमा तेरो भाइको घरमा नजा । टाढाको भाइभन्दा नजिकको छिमेकी उत्तम हुन्छ ।
11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me.
हे मेरो छोरो, बुद्धिमान हो, र मेरो हृदयलाई आनन्दित तुल्या । तब मेरो खिल्ली उडाउनेलाई म जवाफ दिने छु ।
12 A prudent [man] seeth the evil, [and] hideth himself; the simple pass on, [and] are punished.
विवेकी मानिसले सङ्कष्‍ट देखेर आफैलाई लुकाउँछ, तर निर्बुद्धि अगाडि बढ्छ र त्यसैको कारण दुःख भोग्छ ।
13 Take his garment that is become surety [for] another, and hold him in pledge for a strange woman.
परदेशीको जमानी बस्‍नेको खास्टो पनि खोस्‍नू, र त्यसले अनैतिक स्‍त्रीको लागि यसो गरेको भए त्यो धरौटी राख्‍नू ।
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be reckoned a curse to him.
कसैले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई बिहान सबेरै चर्को सोरमा आशिष् दिन्छ भने, त्यो आशिष्‌लाई श्राप ठानिन्छ ।
15 A continual dropping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike:
झगडालु पत्‍नी वर्षाको समयमा एकहोरो तपतप चुहुने झरीजस्तै हो ।
16 whosoever will restrain her restraineth the wind, and his right hand encountereth oil.
त्यसलाई नियन्त्रण गर्नु बतासलाई नियन्त्रण गर्नुझैँ हो वा दाहिने हातमा तेललाई समात्‍नुझैँ हो ।
17 Iron is sharpened by iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
फलामले फलामलाई उध्याउँछ । त्यसै गरी, मानिसले आफ्नो मित्रलाई उध्याउँछ ।
18 Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; and he that guardeth his master shall be honoured.
अञ्‍जीरको रुख गोडमेल गर्नेले यसको फल खाने छ, र आफ्नो गुरुको रक्षा गर्नेले आदर पाउँछ ।
19 As [in] water face [answereth] to face, so the heart of man to man.
जसरी पानीले मानिसको अनुहार प्रतिबिम्बित गर्छ, त्यसै गरी मानिसको हृदयले उसको प्रतिबिम्बित गर्छ ।
20 Sheol and destruction are insatiable; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
जसरी पाताल र एब्बाड्‍डोन कहिल्यै सन्तुष्‍ट हुँदैनन्, त्यसै गरी मानिसका आँखा कहिल्यै सन्तुष्‍ट हुँदैनन् । (Sheol h7585)
21 The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; so let a man be to the mouth that praiseth him.
चाँदी पगाल्न भाँडो र सुन खार्न आरन हुन्छ, अनि मानिसको प्रशंसा हुँदा त्यसको जाँच हुन्छ ।
22 If thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his folly depart from him.
मूर्खलाई खलमा वा अन्‍नलाई झैँ जाँतोमा हालेर पिँधे तापनि त्यसको मूर्खता त्यसबाट हट्ने छैन ।
23 Be well acquainted with the appearance of thy flocks; look well to thy herds:
तेरा भेडा-बाख्राहरूको अवस्था राम्ररी थाहा गर, र तेरा गाईवस्तुहरूको बारेमा ध्यान दे ।
24 for wealth is not for ever; and doth the crown [endure] from generation to generation?
किनकि धन-सम्पत्ति सदाको लागि होइन । के मुकुट सबै पुस्ताभरि रहन्छ र?
25 The hay is removed, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered in.
पराल कहिले हटाइन्छ र नयाँ पालुवा कहिले पलाउँछ अनि डाँडापाखाबाट घाँस कहिले बटुलिन्छ भनी तँलाई थाहा हुनुपर्छ ।
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of a field;
ती भेडाहरूले तेरो वस्‍त्र जुटाउने छन्, र बाख्राहरूले खेतको मूल्य जुटाउने छन् ।
27 and there is goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and sustenance for thy maidens.
तँ र तेरो घरानाको भोजनको लागि बाख्रीको दूध उपलब्ध हुने छ र त्यो तेरा नोकर्नीहरूलाई पोषण हुने छ ।
