Proverbs 26
1 As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole.
ग्रिष्म ऋतुमा हिउँ वा फसलको समयमा झरी परेझैँ मूर्ख आदरको योग्य हुँदन ।
2 As the sparowe by flying, and the swallow by flying escape, so the curse that is causeles, shall not come.
भुर्र उड्ने भँगेरो र हानिएर जाने गौँथलीझैँ कारणविनाको श्राप पनि लाग्दैन ।
3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a bridle, and a rod to the fooles backe.
कोर्रा घोडाको लागि हो; लगाम गधाको लागि हो र लट्ठी मूर्खहरूको पिठिउँको लागि हो ।
4 Answer not a foole according to his foolishnes, least thou also be like him.
मूर्खलाई त्यसको मूर्खताअनुसार जवाफ नदे, नत्रता तँ त्योजस्तै हुने छस् ।
5 Answere a foole according to his foolishnes, least he be wise in his owne conceite.
मूर्खलाई जवाफ दे र त्यसको मूर्खतामा मिल् ताकि त्यो त्यसको आफ्नै दृष्टिमा बुद्धिमान् नहोस् ।
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, is as he that cutteth off the feete, and drinketh iniquitie.
मूर्खको हातमा सन्देश पठाउने मानिसले आफ्नै खुट्टामा बन्चरो हानेर हिंसा पिउँछ ।
7 As they that lift vp the legs of the lame, so is a parable in a fooles mouth.
पक्षाघातीका झुण्डिएका खुट्टाहरूझैँ मूर्खको मुखमा भएको हितोपदेश हुन्छ ।
8 As the closing vp of a precious stone in an heape of stones, so is he that giueth glory to a foole.
मूर्खलाई आदन दिनु घुयेँत्रोमा ढुङ्गा बाँध्नुजस्तै हो ।
9 As a thorne standing vp in the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fooles.
मतवालाको हातमा काँढा भएझैँ मूर्खको मुखमा भएको हितोपदेश हो ।
10 The excellent that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole and rewardeth the transgressers.
मूर्ख वा बटुवालाई ज्यालामा काम लगाउनु धनुर्धारीले त्यसको वरिपरि भएका सबैलाई काँड हानी चोट पुर्याउनुजस्तै हो ।
11 As a dog turneth againe to his owne vomit, so a foole turneth to his foolishnes.
जसरी कुकुर आफ्नै बान्तामा फर्केर आउँछ, त्यसै गरी मूर्खले आफ्नो मूर्खता दोहोर्याउँछ ।
12 Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him.
के तैँले आफ्नै दृष्टिमा बुद्धिमान् भएको कुनै मानिसलाई देखेको छस्? त्यसको भन्दा त मूर्खको लागि बढी आशा हुन्छ ।
13 The slouthfull man sayth, A lyon is in the way: a lyon is in the streetes.
अल्छे मानिसले भन्छ, “सडकमा सिंह छ । खुला ठाउँहरूका बिचमा सिंह छ ।”
14 As the doore turneth vpon his hinges, so doeth the slouthfull man vpon his bed.
ढोका आफ्नो कब्जामा यताउता हल्लेझैँ अल्छे मानिस आफ्नो खाटमा पल्टन्छ ।
15 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe to his mouth.
अल्छे मानिसले आफ्नो हात थालमा गाड्छ, र त्यसलाई आफ्नो मुखसम्म पुर्याउन पनि त्योसित शक्ति हुँदैन ।
16 The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason.
सही न्यायसहित प्रतिक्रिया दिने सात जना मानिसभन्दा अल्छे मानिस त्यसको आफ्नै दृष्टिमा बुद्धिमान् हुन्छ ।
17 He that passeth by and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto him, is as one that taketh a dog by the eares.
कुकुरको कान समात्ने मानिस आफूसित सम्बन्धित नभएको झगडामा रिसाउने बटुवाजस्तै हो ।
18 As he that faineth himselfe mad, casteth fire brands, arrowes, and mortall things,
त्यो घातक काँड हान्ने बौलाहा मानिसजस्तो हो,
19 So dealeth the deceitfull man with his friend and sayth, Am not I in sport?
जसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई धोका दिइसकेपछि भन्छ, “के मैले ठट्टा गर्दै थिइनँ र?”
20 Without wood the fire is quenched, and without a talebearer strife ceaseth.
दाउराको कमीले आगो निभ्छ, र जहाँ कुरौटो हुँदैन त्यहाँ झगडाको अन्त्य हुन्छ ।
21 As ye cole maketh burning coles, and wood a fire, so the contentious man is apt to kindle strife.
जसरी भुङ्ग्रोको लागि कोइला र आगोको लागि दाउरा हो, त्यसै गरी झगडालु मानिस कलह सल्काउनको लागि हो ।
22 The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
कुरौटेका वचनहरू स्वादिष्ट गाँसजस्तै हुन्छन् । ती शरीरको भित्री भागसम्म प्रवेश गर्छन् ।
23 As siluer drosse ouerlayde vpon a potsheard, so are burning lips, and an euill heart.
माटोको भाँडामा चल्काउने जलप लाएझैँ आघात पुर्याउने ओठ र दुष्ट हृदय हुन्छ ।
24 He that hateth, will counterfaite with his lips, but in his heart he layeth vp deceite.
अरूहरूलाई घृणा गर्नेले आफ्नो ओठले आफ्ना भावना लुकाउँछ, तर भित्रपट्टि भने त्यसले छलछामलाई आश्रय दिन्छ ।
25 Though he speake fauourably, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart.
त्यसले अनुग्रही भएर बोले तपानि त्यसमाथि विश्वास नगर्, किनकि त्यसको हृदयमा सातवटा घृणित कुरा छन् ।
26 Hatred may be couered by deceite: but the malice thereof shall be discouered in the congregation.
त्यसको घृणालाई छलले ढाकिएको भए तापनि त्यसको दुष्टता सभामा खुला हुने छ ।
27 He that diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it shall returne vnto him.
खाडल खन्ने मानिस त्यसभित्र जाकिन्छ, र ढुङ्गा गुडाउने मानिसमा नै त्यो ढुङ्गा फर्केर आउने छ ।
28 A false tongue hateth the afflicted, and a flattering mouth causeth ruine.
झुट बोल्ने जिब्रोले पीडामा परेकाहरूलाई घृणा गर्छ, र चापलुसी घस्ने मुखले विनाश ल्याउँछ ।
