Proverbs 4
1 Listen, sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and discover what makes sense,
हे मेरा छोराहरू हो, बुबाको निर्देशन सुन, र ध्यान देओ ताकि समझशक्ति के रहेछ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्न सक ।
2 for what I am passing on to you is reliable. Don't reject my teachings.
म तिमीहरूलाई असल निर्देशनहरू दिँदै छु । मेरो शिक्षालाई नत्याग ।
3 When I was a son with my father—a tender young boy, my mother's only child—
म मेरो बुबाको छोरो हुँदा, मेरी आमाको कोमल र एक मात्र सन्तान हुँदा,
4 he was the one who taught me. He told me, “Pay attention to the words I say and keep them in mind; do what I tell you and you will live.
उहाँले मलाई सिकाउनुभयो, र भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हृदयले मेरा वचनहरू पक्रिराख् । मेरा आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेर बाँच् ।
5 Get wisdom, find out what makes sense. Don't forget my words or reject them.
बुद्धि र समझशक्ति प्राप्त गर् । मेरो मुखका वचनहरूलाई नबिर्सी र इन्कार नगर् ।
6 Don't give up on wisdom for she will keep you safe. Love wisdom and she will protect you.
बुद्धिलाई नत्याग् र त्यसले तेरो निगरानी गर्ने छ । त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्, र त्यसले तँलाई सुरक्षा दिने छ ।
7 The first thing in becoming wise is to get wisdom! Whatever else you gain, gain insight.
बुद्धि सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण वस्तु हो । त्यसैले बुद्धि प्राप्त गर्, र समझशक्ति प्राप्त गर्न सबै मूल्य चुका ।
8 Treasure wisdom, and she will praise you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
बुद्धिलाई कदर गर्, र त्यसले तँलाई माथि उठाउने छ । तैँले त्यसलाई अङ्गाल्दा त्यसले तेरो इज्जत गर्ने छ ।
9 She will place on your head a wreath of grace; she will present to you a crown of glory.”
बुद्धिले तेरो शिरमा आदरको माला पहिराइदिने छ । त्यसले तँलाई सुन्दर मुकुट दिने छ ।”
10 Listen, my son, if you accept what I tell you, then you will live a long life.
हे मेरो छोरो, मेरा वचनहरू सुन्, र तिनलाई ध्यान दे, अनि तेरो जीवनको आयु लामो हुने छ ।
11 I have explained to you the way of wisdom; I have guided you along the right paths.
म तँलाई बुद्धिको बाटोमा लैजान्छु । म तँलाई सिधा बाटाहरूमा अगुवाइ गर्छु ।
12 Nothing will block your way when you walk, you won't stumble when you run.
तँ हिँड्दा तेरो बाटोमा कोही खडा हुने छैन, र तँ दौडिस् भने पनि ठक्कर खाने छैनस् ।
13 Hold on to these instructions—don't let them go. Protect them, for they are life's foundation.
निर्देशनलाई समातेर राख्; यसलाई जान नदे । यसलाई पहरा दे, किनकि यो तेरो जीवन हो ।
14 Don't go the way of the wicked or follow the example of those who do evil.
दुष्टहरूको चालमा नहिँड् र खराबी गर्नेहरूको मार्गमा नजा ।
15 Avoid that way completely. Don't go there! Turn away, and walk on.
त्यसलाई त्यागिदे; त्यसमा नहिँड् । त्यसबाट फर्केर अर्को बाटो लाग् ।
16 Evil people won't rest until they've done something wrong; they can't sleep unless they've tripped someone up.
किनकि तिनीहरूले खराबी नगरेसम्म तिनीहरू सुत्न सक्दैनन्, र तिनीहरूले कसैलाई नलडाएसम्म तिनीहरूलाई निन्द्रै लाग्दैन ।
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
किनकि तिनीहरूले दुष्टताको रोटी खान्छन्, र हिंसाको मद्य पिउँछन् ।
18 The way of life of the good is like the light of the sunrise, glowing brighter and brighter until the full light of day shines out.
तर धर्मी मानिसहरूको मार्ग प्रभातको पहिलो किरणजस्तै हो । मध्यदिन नआएसम्म यो झन्-झन् चम्किलो हुन्छ ।
19 But the way of life of the wicked is like complete darkness; they don't even know what they're tripping over.
दुष्टहरूको मार्ग अन्धकारजस्तै छ । तिनीहरू केमा ठक्कर खान्छन् भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहै हुँदैन ।
20 My son, pay attention to what I tell you; listen to the words I'm saying.
हे मेरो छोरो, मेरा वचनहरूलाई ध्यान दे । मेरा भनाइहरू सुन्न तेरो कान थाप ।
21 Don't lose sight of them; think about them deeply,
तेरो नजरबाट तिनलाई उम्केर जान नदे । तिनलाई तेरो हृदयमा राख् ।
22 for they are life to anyone who finds them, and make the whole body healthy.
किनकि मेरा वचनहरू पाउनेका लागि ती जीवन हुन्, र तिनीहरूको पुरै शरीरको लागि स्वास्थ्य हो ।
23 Most of all, protect your mind, for everything in life flows from it.
तेरो हृदयलाई सुरक्षित राख्, र पुरा मेहनतसाथ यसको रक्षा गर्, किनकि यसबाट नै जीवनका मूलहरू उम्रन्छन् ।
24 Don't ever lie, and don't say anything dishonest.
कुवाक्यलाई तँबाट पर राख्, र भ्रष्ट कुराकानीलाई तँबाट टाढा राख् ।
25 Focus on what's ahead of you; look at what's in front of you.
तेरा आँखाले सिधा अगाडि हेरून्, र तेरो अगिल्तिर सिधा एकटक लगाएर हेर् ।
26 Pay attention to the path you decide to follow, and you'll be safe wherever you go.
तेरो खुट्टाको लागि नैतिकताको मार्ग बना । तब तेरा सबै मार्गहरू सुरक्षित हुने छन् ।
27 Don't deviate to the right or the left, and turn away from evil.
दाहिने वा देब्रेतिर नलाग् । खराबीबाट तेरो चाललाई फर्का ।
