Proverbs 19
बोलीवचनमा कुटिल भई मूर्ख हुनुभन्दा आफ्नो सत्यनिष्ठामा हिँड्ने गरिब मानिस उत्तम हो ।
ज्ञानविनाको इच्छा राम्रो हुँदैन, र हतार गर्नेले बाटो बिराउँछ ।
3 The folly of a man spoils his ways: and he blames God in his heart.
मान्छेको मूर्खताले त्यसको जीवन बर्बाद पार्छ, र त्यसको हृदय परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा क्रोधित हुन्छ ।
4 Wealth acquires many friends; but the poor is deserted even of the friend he has.
धनले धेरै मित्रहरू बनाउँछ, तर गरिब मानिसचाहिँ आफ्ना मित्रहरूबाट त्यागिन्छ ।
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that accuses unjustly shall not escape.
झुटो साक्षी दण्डविना उम्कने छैन, र झुटो कुरो बोल्ने फुत्कने छैन ।
6 Many court the favor of kings; but every bad man becomes a reproach to [another] man.
धेरैले उदार मानिसबाट निगाहको लागि बिन्ति गर्ने छन्, र हरेक व्यक्ति उपहार दिनेको मित्र बन्छ ।
7 Every one who hates [his] poor brother shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw near to them that know it, and a sensible man will find it. He that does much harm perfects mischief; and he that used provoking words shall not escape.
गरिब मानिसका सबै दाजुभाइले त्यसलाई घृणा गर्छन् भने, त्यसका टाढा जाने मित्रहरूले त झन् कति धेरै त्यसलाई त्याग्लान्! त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई बोलाउँछन्, तर तिनीहरू गइसकेका हुन्छन् ।
8 He that procures wisdom loves himself; and he that keeps wisdom shall find good.
बुद्धि प्राप्त गर्नेले आफ्नो जीवनलाई प्रेम गर्छ । समझशक्तिलाई जोगाउनेले जे असल छ, त्यो पाउने छ ।
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished; and whoever shall kindle mischief shall perish by it.
झुटो साक्षी दण्डविना उम्कने छैन, तर झुटो कुरो बोल्नेचाहिँ नष्ट हुने छ ।
10 Delight does not suit a fool, nor [is it seemly] if a servant should begin to rule with haughtiness.
मूर्खलाई भोग-विलासमा जिउनु सुहाउँदैन भने कमाराले राजकुमारहरूमाथि शासन चलाउनु झन् कति नराम्रो हो!
11 A merciful man is longsuffering; and his triumph overtakes transgressors.
विवेकले मानिसलाई रिसाउन धिमा बनाउँछ, र चित्त दुखाइलाई बेवास्ता गर्नु त्यसको महिमा हो ।
12 The threatening of a king is like the roaring of a lion; but as dew on the grass, so is his favor.
राजाको क्रोध जवान सिंहको गर्जनजस्तै हुन्छ, तर तिनको निगाह घाँसमाथिको शीतजस्तै हुन्छ ।
13 A foolish son is a disgrace to his father: vows [paid out] of the hire of a harlot are not pure.
मूर्ख छोरो त्यसको बुबाको लागि विनाश हो, र झगडा गर्ने पत्नीचाहिँ नित्य परिरहने तपतपे झरीजस्तै हो ।
14 Fathers divide house and substance to [their] children: but a wife is suited to a man by the Lord.
घर र धन-सम्पत्ति बुबाआमाबाट आएका हुन्छन्, तर विवेकी पत्नीचाहिँ परमप्रभुबाट आउँछ ।
15 Cowardice possesses the effeminate [man]; and the soul of the sluggard shall hunger.
अल्छीपनले मानिसलाई घोर निद्रामा पुर्याउँछ, र काम गर्न अनिच्छुकचाहिँ भोकभोकै हुने छ ।
16 He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall perish.
आज्ञा पालन गर्नेले त्यसको जीवनको रखवाली गर्छ, तर आफ्ना मार्गहरूबारे नसोच्नेचाहिँ मर्ने छ ।
17 He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; and he will recompense to him according to his gift.
गरिबप्रति दयालु हुनेले परमप्रभुलाई सापट दिन्छ, र उहाँले त्यसले गरेको कामको प्रतिफल दिनुहुने छ ।
18 Chasten your son, for so he shall be hopeful; and be not exalted in your soul to haughtiness.
आशा बाँकी छँदै आफ्नो छोरोलाई अनुशासनमा राख, र त्यसलाई मृत्युण्ड दिने इच्छा नबना ।
19 A malicious man shall be severely punished, and if he commit injury, he shall also lose his life.
गरम मिजास भएको मानिसले जरिवाना तिर्नैपर्छ । त्यसलाई छुटकारा दिइस् भने तैँले दोस्रो पटक त्यसै गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
20 Hear, son, the instruction of your father, that you may be wise at your latter end.
सरसल्लाह सुन् र अर्तीलाई स्वीकार गर्, ताकि तेरो जीवनको अन्त्यसम्ममा तँ बुद्धिमान् बन्न सक्छस् ।
21 [There are] many thoughts in a man's heart; but the counsel of the Lord abides for ever.

22 Mercy is a fruit to a man: and a poor man is better than a rich liar.
मानिसले भक्तिको चाह गर्छ, र झुटो बोल्नेभन्दा त गरिब मानिस उत्तम हो ।
23 The fear of the Lord is life to a man: and he shall lodge without fear in places where knowledge is not seen.

25 When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if you reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion.

28 He that becomes surety for a foolish child will despise the ordinance: and the mouth of ungodly men shall drink down judgment.
