Proverbs 7
1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
हे मेरो छोरो, मेरा वचनहरू पालन गर्, र मेरा आज्ञाहरू तँभित्र सञ्चय गरेर राख् ।
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my teaching, as the apple of thine eye.
मेरा आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेर बाँच्, र मेरो निर्देशनलाई तेरो आँखाको नानीजस्तै जोगाइराख् ।
3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the tablet of thy heart.
तिनलाई तेरा औँलाहरूमा बेह्रेर राख् । तिनलाई तेरो हृदयको पाटीमा लेखेर राख् ।
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call intelligence [thy] kinswoman:
बुद्धिलाई भन्, “तिमी मेरी बहिनी हौँ,” र समझशक्तिलाई आफ्नो आफन्त भन् ।
5 that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words.
तब तिनले तँलाई व्यभिचारी स्त्री र अनैतिक स्त्रीको मोहित तुल्याउने कुराहरूबाट बचाउने छन् ।
6 For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice,
मेरो घरको झ्यालमा बसेर मैले आँखी-झ्यालबाट हेर्दै थिएँ ।
7 and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, a young man void of understanding,
मैले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई हेरेँ, र युवाहरूका बिचमा एक जना निर्बुद्धिलाई ख्याल गरेँ ।
8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
त्यो जवान मानिस त्यस स्त्री बस्ने गल्ली नजिकबाट गयो, र त्यो स्त्रीको घरतर्फ लाग्यो ।
9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness.
साँझको बेलामा दिन ढल्कँदै थियो, जुन बेला अन्धकार छाएको थियो ।
10 And behold, there met him a woman in the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
एउटी स्त्रीले त्यसलाई भेटी, जसले वेश्याले जस्तै पहिरन लगाएकी थिई र त्यसको हृदय धूर्त थियो ।
11 She is clamorous and unmanageable; her feet abide not in her house:
त्यो चञ्चली र जिद्दीवाल थिई । त्यो आफ्नो घरमा बस्दिनथी ।
12 now without, now in the broadways, — and she lieth in wait at every corner.
त्यो कहिले सडकमा त कहिले बजारमा बस्थी, अनि हरेक कुनाकाप्चामा त्यो लुकेर बस्थी ।
13 And she caught him and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
त्यसले उसलाई पक्रेर चुम्बन गरी, र निर्लज्ज चेहरा लिएर भनी,
14 I have peace-offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows:
“आज मैले आफ्नो मेलबलि चढाएँ; मेरा भाकलहरू पुरा गरेँ ।
15 therefore came I forth to meet thee, to seek earnestly thy face, and I have found thee.
त्यसैले म तपाईंलाई भेट्न, उत्सुकतासाथ तपाईंको मुहार हेर्न आएकी हुँ, र अहिले मैले तपाईंलाई भेट्टाएकी छु ।
16 I have decked my bed with tapestry coverlets of variegated linen from Egypt;
मैले मेरो ओछ्यानमा मिश्र देशको रङ्गिन तन्ना ओछ्याएकी छु ।
17 I have perfumed my couch with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
मैले मेरो ओछ्यानमा मूर्र, एलवा र दालचिनी छर्केकी छु ।
18 Come, let us revel in love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with loves.
आउनुहोस्, बिहानसम्मै हामी प्रेमको सागरमा डुबौँ । हामी प्रेमको कार्यमा रमाऔँ ।
19 For the husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey;
किनकि मेरा पति घरमा हुनुहुन्न । उहाँ लामो यात्रामा जानुभएको छ ।
20 he hath taken the money-bag with him, he will come home on the day of the full moon.
उहाँले आफूसित पैसाको थैली लिएर जानुभएको छ । उहाँ पूर्णिमामा मात्र घर फर्कनुहुने छ ।”
21 With her much enticement she beguiled him; with the smoothness of her lips she constrained him.
धेरै कुराकानी गरेर त्यो उसकहाँ फर्की । त्यसले आफ्ना मोहित तुल्याउने कुराहरूलाई उसलाई फकाई ।
22 He went after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as stocks [serve] for the correction of the fool;
मारिनलाई लगिएको गोरुझैँ र पासोमा परेको मृगझैँ त्यो अकस्मात् स्त्रीको पछि लाग्यो ।
23 till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life.
वाणले त्यसको कलेजो नछेडेसम्म त्यो पछि लागरिरह्यो । त्यो जालतिर कुदिरहरेको चरोजस्तो थियो । आफ्नो ज्यानै गुमाउनुपर्थ्यो भनी त्यसलाई थाहा थिएन ।
24 And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
अब हे मेरा छोराहरू हो, मेरो कुरा सुन । मेरा मुखका वचनहरूलाई ध्यान देओ ।
25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths:
तिमीहरूको हृदय त्यसका मार्गहरूमा नलागोस् । त्यसका मार्गहरूमा बरालिएर नजाओ ।
26 for she hath cast down many wounded, and all slain by her were strong.
त्यसले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई फसाएकी छे । त्यसका सिकारहरू धेरै छन् ।
