Proverbs 30
1 The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:
याकेका छोरा आगूरका वचनहरू अर्थात् ईश्वरवाणीः यी मानिसले इथीएल र यूकाललाई घोषणा गरेका हुन्:
2 I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
निश्चय नै म कुनै पनि मानिसभन्दा पशुजस्तो छु, र मसित मानिसको समझशक्ति छैन ।
3 I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
मैले बुद्धि प्राप्त गरेको छैनँ, न त मसित परमपवित्रको ज्ञान नै छ ।
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
स्वर्ग उक्लेर को तल झरेको छ र? आफ्ना हातको मुट्ठीमा कसले बतासलाई बटुलेको छ र? कसले पानीलाई आफ्नो खास्टोमा जम्मा गरेको छ र? कसले पृथ्वीका कुना-कुनालाई स्थापित गरेको छ र? उहाँको नाउँ के हो र उहाँका पुत्रको नाउँ के हो? निश्चय नै तँलाई थाहा होला!
5 Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
परमेश्वरको हरेक वचन जाँचिएको छ । उहाँमा शरण लिनेहरूका लागि उहाँ ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
6 Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
उहाँका वचनहरूमा नथप् नत्रता उहाँले तँलाई अनुशासनमा राख्नुहुने छ, र तँ झुटो ठहरिने छस् ।
7 Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
म तपाईंबाट दुईवटा कुरा माग्दछु । म मर्नुअगि ती मबाट नरोक्नुहोस् ।
8 Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
व्यर्थता र झुटलाई मबाट पर राखिदिनुहोस् । मलाई दरिद्रता वा धन-सम्पत्ति नदिनुहोस् । मलाई आवश्यक पर्ने भोजन मात्र दिनुहोस् ।
9 Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
किनकि मसित धेरै भए भने मैले तपाईंलाई इन्कार गरेर भनूँला, “परमप्रभु को हो र?” वा गरिब भएँ भने, मैले चोरेर मेरा परमेश्वरको नाउँ अपवित्र तुल्याउँला ।
10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
मालिकको सामु त्यसको नोकरको निन्दा नगर्, नत्रता त्यसले तँलाई सराप्ने छ, र तँ दोषी बन्ने छस् ।
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
आफ्ना बुबाहरूलाई सराप्ने र आमाहरूलाई आशिष् नदिने पुस्ता पनि छ ।
12 A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
आफ्नै दृष्टिमा शुद्ध हुने पुस्ता पनि छ, तापनि तिनीहरू आफ्नो फोहोरबाट सफा भएका छैनन् ।
13 A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
अहङ्कारी आँखा भएकाहरूको पुस्ता पनि छ, जसको हेराइ अति घृणास्पद हुन्छ ।
14 A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.
यस्तो पुस्ता पनि छ जसका दाँत तरवारहरू हुन्, र तिनीहरूका बङ्गारा छुराजस्तै छन्, ताकि तिनीहरूले देशबाट गरिबहरूलाई र मानव-जातिबाट खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई निल्न सकून् ।
15 The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
जूकाका दुई छोरी छन् । “देऊ, देऊ” भन्दै तिनीहरू चिच्च्याउँछन् । तिनवटा कुरा छन् जुन कहिल्यै सन्तुष्ट हुँदैनन्, र चारवटा कुरा जसले कहिल्यै “पुग्यो” भन्दैनन् ।
16 Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough. (Sheol h7585)
पाताल, बाँझी स्त्री, पानीले कहिल्यै सन्तुष्ट नहुने जमिन र कहिल्यै “पुग्यो” नभन्ने आगो । (Sheol h7585)
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
बुबालाई खिल्ली उडाउने र आमाको आज्ञालाई खिसी गर्ने आँखालाई बेँसीका कागहरूले ठुँगेर बाहिर निकाल्ने छन्, र त्यसलाई गिद्धहरूले खाने छन् ।
18 Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
तिनवटा कुरा छन्, जुन मेरा लागि ज्यादै उदेकका छन्, चारवटा छन्, जसलाई म बुझ्न सक्दिनँ:
19 The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth.
आकाशमा चिलको चाल, चट्टानमा सर्पको चाल, समुद्रको बिचमा जहाजको चाल र तरुणीसित पुरुषको चाल ।
20 Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
व्यभिचारी स्त्रीको चाल यस्तो हुन्छः त्यसले खाएर आफ्नो मुख पुछ्छे अनि भन्छे, “मैले कुनै गल्ती गरेकी छैनँ ।”
21 By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
तिनवटा कुराबाट पृथ्वी काम्छ, र चारवटा कुरालाई यसले सहन सक्दैनः
22 By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
राजा भएको नोकर, खानाले टन्न अघाएको मूर्ख,
23 By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
विवाह गर्ने माया नपाएकी स्त्री र आफ्नी मालिक्नीलाई पन्छाएर उक्त ठाउँमा बस्ने नोकर्नी ।
24 There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
पृथ्वीमा चारवटा कुरा साना छन्, र पनि तिनीहरू अत्यन्तै बुद्धिमान् छन्:
25 The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
कमिलाहरू निर्बल प्राणी हुन्, तरै पनि तिनीहरूले ग्रीष्म ऋतुमा आफ्नो भोजन तयार पार्छन् ।
26 The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
शापानहरू शक्तिशाली प्राणी होइनन्, तरै पनि पहरामा तिनीहरूले आफ्नो घर बनाउछन् ।
27 The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
सलहहरूको कुनै राजा हुँदैन, तरै पनि तिनीहरू हुल बाँधेर अगाडि बढ्छन् ।
28 The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
छेपाराहरूलाई तपाईंका दुईवटा हातले समात्न सकिन्छ, तरै पनि तिनीहरू राजदरबारमा पाइन्छन् ।
29 There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
तिनवटा कुरा छन्, जो आफ्नो हिँडाइमा रवाफिला छन् र चारवटा छन् जुन शानसँग हिँड्छन्:
30 A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
सिंह पशुहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा शक्तिशाली हुन्छ, जो कुनै प्राणीदेखि तर्कंदैन ।
31 A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
शानसँग हिँड्ने कुखुराको भाले, बोका र आफ्नो छेउमा सिपाहीहरू राखेर हिँड्ने राजा ।
32 There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
आफैलाई उचालेर तँ मूर्ख भएको छस् भने वा तैँले खराबीको योजना रचेको छस् भने हातले तेरो मुख थुनिहाल् ।
33 And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.
जसरी दूध मथेर घिउ निस्कन्छ, र नाक ठोक्किँदा रगत निस्कन्छ, त्यसरी नै रिसमा गरिएको कामले द्वन्द्व उत्पन्न गराउँछ ।
