Proverbs 15
1 Anger slays even wise men; yet a submissive answer turns away wrath: but a grievous word stirs up anger.
विनम्र जवाफले क्रोधलाई हटाउँछ, तर कठोर वचनले रिस उठाउँछ ।
2 The tongue of the wise knows what is good: but the mouth of the foolish tells out evil things.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूको जिब्रोले ज्ञानको तारिफ गर्छ, तर मूर्खहरूको मुखले मूर्खता खन्याउँछ ।
3 The eyes of the Lord behold both the evil and the good in every place.
परमप्रभुको दृष्टि जताततै छ । उहाँले दुष्ट र असलमाथि नजर लगाउनुहुन्छ ।
4 The wholesome tongue is a tree of life, and he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding.
निको पार्ने जिब्रो जीवनको रुख हो, तर छलपूर्ण जिब्रोले आत्मालाई चोट पुर्याउँछ ।
5 A fool scorns his father's instruction; but he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: but the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth.
मूर्खले आफ्नो बुबाको अर्तीलाई हेला गर्छ, तर सुधारबाट सिक्नेचाहिँ विवेकशील हो ।
6 In the houses of the righteous is much strength: but the fruits of the ungodly shall perish.
धर्मात्माको घरमा ठुलो खजाना हुन्छ, तर दुष्ट मानिसको कमाइले त्यसलाई कष्ट दिन्छ ।
7 The lips of the wise are bound by discretion: but the hearts of the foolish are not safe.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूको ओठले चारैतिर ज्ञान फैलाउँछ, तर मूर्खहरूको हृदय त्यस्तो हुँदैन ।
8 The sacrifices of the ungodly are an abomination to the Lord; but the prayers of them that walk honestly are acceptable with him.
परमप्रभुले दुष्ट मानिसहरूको बलिदानलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर धर्मी मानिसहरूको प्रार्थना उहाँको आनन्द हो ।
9 The ways of an ungodly [man] are an abomination to the Lord; but he loves those that follow after righteousness.
परमप्रभुले दुष्ट मानिसहरूको मार्गलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर ठिक कुराको पछि लाग्नेलाई उहाँले प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ ।
10 The instruction of the simple is known by them that pass by; but they that hate reproofs die disgracefully.
कठोर अनुशासनले आफ्नो बाटो त्याग्नेको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ, र सुधारलाई घृणा गर्नेचाहिँ मर्ने छ ।
11 Hell and destruction are manifest to the Lord; how shall not also be the hearts of men? (Sheol h7585)
पाताल र विनाश परमप्रभुको सामु खुला छन् भने मानिसको हृदय झन् कति खुला होला? (Sheol h7585)
12 An uninstructed person will not love those that reprove him; neither will he associate with the wise.
गिल्ला गर्ने सुधारदेखि अप्रसन्न हुन्छ । त्यो बुद्धिमान्कहाँ जाँदैन ।
13 When the heart rejoices the countenance is cheerful; but when it is in sorrow, [the countenance] is sad.
आनन्दित हृदयले मुहारलाई हँसिलो बनाउँछ, तर हृदयको पिरले आत्मालाई चोट पुर्याउँछ ।
14 An upright heart seeks discretion; but the mouth of the uninstructed will experience evils.
विवेशकशीलहरूको हृदयले ज्ञानको खोजी गर्छ, तर मूर्खहरूको मुखले मूर्खता नै रुचाउँछ ।
15 The eyes of the wicked are always looking for evil things; but the good are always quiet.
थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूका सबै दिन दुःखद हुन्छन्, तर आनन्दित हृदयको सुखको अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
16 Better is a small portion with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without the fear [of the Lord].
भ्रमको साथ धेरै धन-सम्पत्ति हुनुभन्दा बरु परमप्रभुको भयको साथ थोरै हुनु उत्तम हो ।
17 Better is an entertainment of herbs with friendliness and kindness, than a feast of calves, with enmity.
घृणा भएको ठाउँमा पुष्टाइएको बाछो खानुभन्दा बरु प्रेम भएको ठाउँमा सागसब्जी खानु उत्तम हो ।
18 A passionate man stirs up strife; but [he that is] slow to anger appeases even a rising one. A man slow to anger will extinguish quarrels; but an ungodly man rather stirs [them] up.
रिसाएको मानिसले तर्क-वितर्क गर्छ, तर रिसाउनमा धिमा व्यक्तिले झगडालाई शान्त पार्छ ।
19 The ways of sluggards are strewn with thorns; but those of the diligent are made smooth.
अल्छेको बाटो काँढाको छेकबार भएको ठाउँझैँ हुन्छ, तर धर्मीको बाटो निर्मित लोकमार्ग हो ।
20 A wise son gladdens [his] father; but a foolish son sneers at his mother.
बुद्धिमान् छोरोले आफ्नो बुबालाई आनन्द दिन्छ, तर मूर्ख व्यक्तिले आफ्नी आमालाई तुच्छ ठान्छ ।
21 The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; but a wise man proceeds on his way aright.
मूर्खताले बेसमझको मानिसलाई आनन्द दिन्छ, तर समझशक्ति भएको मानिस सिधा बाटोमा हिँड्छ ।
22 They that honor not councils put off deliberation; but counsel abides in the hearts of counselors.
सरसल्लाह नहुँदा योजनाहरू गलत हुन्छन्, तर धेरै परामर्शदाताहरूद्वारा तिनीहरू सफल हुन्छन् ।
23 A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common [weal].
उचित जवाफ दिँदा मानिसले आनन्द पाउँछ । ठिक समयमा बोलिएको वचन कति असल हुन्छ!
24 The thoughts of the wise are ways of life, that he may turn aside and escape from hell. (Sheol h7585)
जीवनको मार्गले विवेकशील मानिसहरूलाई उँभोतिर लैजान्छ । यसले तिनीहरूलाई उँधो पातालतिर जानदेखि फर्काउँछ । (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; but he establishes the border of the widow.
परमप्रभुले अहङ्कारीको घर भत्काइदिनुहुन्छ, तर विधवाको सम्पत्तिको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
26 An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; but the sayings of the pure are held in honor.
परमप्रभुले दुष्ट मानिसहरूको विचारलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर दयाका वचनहरू शुद्ध हुन्छन् ।
27 A receiver of bribes destroys himself; but he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe. [By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away; ] but by the fear of the Lord every one departs from evil.
चोरी गर्नेले आफ्नो परिवारमा सङ्कष्ट ल्याउँछ, तर घुसलाई घृणा गर्नेचाहिँ बाँच्ने छ ।
28 The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things. The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord; and through them even enemies become friends.
जवाफ दिनुअगि धर्मात्माको हृदयले मनन गर्छ, तर दुष्ट मानिसको मुखले आफ्नो सबै खराबी ओकल्छ ।
29 God is far from the ungodly; but he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. Better are small receipts with righteousness, than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. Let the heart of a man think justly, that his steps may be rightly ordered of God. The eye that sees rightly rejoices the heart; and a good report fattens the bones.
दुष्ट मानिसहरूबाट परमप्रभु निकै टाढा हुनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँले धर्मी मानिसहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्नुहुन्छ ।
आँखाको ज्योतिले हृदयमा आनन्द ल्याउँछ, र शुभ खबर शरीरको लागि स्वास्थ्य हो ।
कसरी जिउने भनी कसैले तिमीलाई सुधार गर्दा तिमीले ध्यान दियौ भने तिमी बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूका बिचमा रहने छौ ।
32 He that rejects instruction hates himself; but he that mind reproofs loves his soul.
अनुशासनलाई इन्कार गर्नेले आफैलाई तुच्छ ठान्छ, तर सुधारलाई ध्यान दिनेले समझशक्ति पाउँछ ।
33 The fear of the Lord is instruction and wisdom; and the highest honor will correspond therewith.
परमप्रभुको भयले बुद्धि सिकाउँछ, र आदरअगि विनम्रता आउँछ ।
