Proverbs 31
1 The words of king Lamuel. The vision wherewith his mother instructed him.
राजा लमूएलका वचनहरू अर्थात् तिनकी आमाले सिकाएकी ईश्वरवाणीः
2 What, O my beloved, what, O the beloved of my womb, what, O the beloved of my vows?
हे मेरो छोरो, हे मेरो गर्भको छोरो, हे मेरा भाकलहरूको छोरो, तँ के चाहन्छस्?
3 Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings.
स्त्रीलाई तेरो बल नदे वा राजाहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेहरूलाई तेरा चालहरू नदे ।
4 Give not to kings, O Lamuel, give not wine to kings: because there is no secret where drunkenness reigneth:
यो राजाहरूका लागि होइन, हे लमूएल, राजाहरूले दाखमद्य पिउनुहुन्न वा शासकहरूले मदिराको लालसा गर्नुहुन्न ।
5 And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor.
किनभने तिनीहरूले पिउँदा तिनीहरूले कानुनी आदेश बिर्सेका हुन्छन्, र कष्टमा परेकाहरू सबैका अधिकारलाई वञ्चित गरिदिन्छन् ।
6 Give strong drink to them that are sad: and wine to them that are grieved in mind:
नष्ट भइरहेकाहरूलाई मदिरा दे, र विरहमा भएकाहरूलाई दाखमद्य दे ।
7 Let them drink, and forget their want, and remember their sorrow no more.
त्यसले पिएर आफ्नो गरिबी भुल्ने छ, र त्यसले आफ्नो कष्टलाई सम्झने छैन ।
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass.
बोल्न नसक्नेहरू र नष्ट भइरहेकाहरूको अधिकारको लागि बोल् ।
9 Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor.
आवाज उठा, र जे ठिक छ त्यसको नापअनुसार न्याय गर्, अनि गरिब र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूको अधिकारको निम्ति बोल् ।
10 Who shall find a valiant woman? far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her.
कसले सुयोग्य पत्नी पाउन सक्छ? उनको मूल्य रत्नहरूभन्दा बहुमूल्य हुन्छ ।
11 The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall have no need of spoils.
उनका पतिको हृदयले उनीमाथि भरोसा गर्छन्, र तिनी कहिल्यै गरिब हुने छैनन् ।
12 She will render him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.
उनले तिनका लागि आफ्नो जीवनकालभरि खराब कुराहरू नभई असल कुराहरू गर्छिन्,
13 She hath sought wool and flax, and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands.
उनले ऊन र सनपाट रोज्छिन्, अनि आफ्ना हातले खुसी भएर काम गर्छिन् ।
14 She is like the merchant’s ship, she bringeth her bread from afar.
उनी व्यापारी जहाजझैँ छिन् । उनले टाढाबाट आफ्नो भोजन ल्याउँछिन् ।
15 And she hath risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and victuals to her maidens.
उनी राती नै उठ्छिन्, र आफ्नो परिवारलाई भोजन बाँड्छिन्, अनि आफ्ना चाकर्नीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका काम बाँडफाँड गरिदिन्छिन् ।
16 She hath considered a field, and bought it: with the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard.
उनले सोचविचार गरेर एउटा खेत किन्छिन्, र आफ्नो हातको कमाइले दाखबारी लगाउँछिन् ।
17 She hath girded her loins with strength, and hath strengthened her arm.
उनी शक्तिले आभुषित हुन्छिन् र आफ्ना पाखुराहरूलाई बलियो बनाउँछिन् ।
18 She hath tasted and seen that her traffic is good: her lamp shall not be put out in the night.
उनको लागि केले मुनाफा ल्याउने छ भनी तिनी अनुमान गर्छिन् । रातैभरि उनको बत्ती निभ्दैन ।
19 She hath put out 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 hath opened her hand to the needy, and stretched out her hands to the poor.
उनले गरिब मानिसहरूप्रति आफ्नो मुट्ठी खोल्छिन् । उनले खाँचोमा परेकाहरूप्रति आफ्नो हात अगाडि बढाउँछिन् ।
21 She shall not fear for her house in the cold of snow: for all her domestics are clothed with double garments.
आफ्नो परिवारमा हिउँ पर्दा उनी डराउँदिनन्, किनकि उनको परिवारका सबै सदस्यले सिन्दूरे रङका लुगा लगाउँछन् ।
22 She hath made for herself clothing of tapestry: fine linen, and purple is her covering.
उनले आफ्नो ओछ्यानको लागि तन्ना बनाउँछिन्, र उनले मसिनो गरी बाटेको सुतीको कपडाको लुगा लगाउँछिन् ।
23 Her husband is honourable in the gates, when he sitteth among the senators of the land.
उनका पति सहरको मूल ढोकामा देशका पाका मानिसहरूसित बस्दा सम्मानित हुन्छन् ।
24 She made fine linen, and sold it, and delivered a girdle to the Chanaanite.
उनले सुती कपडाका वस्त्रहरू बनाएर बेच्छिन्, र व्यापारीहरूलाई पटुका उपलब्ध गराउँछिन् ।
25 Strength and beauty are her clothing, and she shall laugh in the latter day.
उनी शक्ति र आदरले आभुषित छिन्, अनि आउने समयको लागि उनी हाँस्न सक्छिन् ।
26 She hath 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 hath looked well to the paths of her house, and hath not eaten her bread idle.
उनले आफ्नो परिवारका चालहरूको रेखदेख गर्छिन्, र आलस्यको रोटी खाँदिनन् ।
28 Her children rose up, and called her blessed: her husband, and he 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: thou hast surpassed them all.
“धेरै स्त्रीहरूले राम्ररी काम गरेका छन्, तर तिमीले तिनीहरू सबैलाई जितेकी छ्यौ ।”
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
सुन्दरता भ्रामक हुन्छ; सौन्दर्य व्यर्थको हुन्छ, तर परमप्रभुको भय मान्ने स्त्रीको नै प्रशंसा गरिने छ ।
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands: and let her works praise her in the gates.
उनको हातको कमाइ उनलाई नै दिनू, र उनका कामहरूले मूल ढोकामा उनको प्रशंसा गरून् ।
