Proverbs 2
1 [My] son, if you will receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with you;
हे मेरो छोरो, तैँले मेरा वचनहरू ग्रहण गरिस् र मेरा आज्ञाहरूलाई तेरो मनमा राखिस् भने,
2 your ear shall listen to wisdom; you shall also apply your heart to understanding, and shall apply it to the instruction of your son.
बुद्धिका कुराहरू सुन्न तेरो कान थापिस्, र तेरो हृदयलाई समझशक्तितिर लगाइस् भने,
3 For it you shall call to wisdom, and utter your voice for understanding;
तैँले समझशक्तिको लागि पुकारा गरिस्, र यसको लागि सोर उचालिस् भने,
4 and if you shall seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures;
तैँले चाँदीलाई झैँ यसलाई खोजिस्, र गाडधनलाई झैँ समझशक्तिको खोजी गरिस् भने,
5 then shall you understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
तैँले परमप्रभुको भय बुझ्ने छस्, र परमेश्वरको ज्ञान पाउने छस् ।
6 For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence [come] knowledge and understanding,
किनकि परमप्रभुले नै बुद्धि दिनुहुन्छ, अनि उहाँको मुखबाट ज्ञान र समझशक्ति निस्कन्छन् ।
7 and he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: he will protect their way;
उहाँलाई खुसी तुल्याउनेहरूका लागि उहाँले पक्का बुद्धि साँचेर राख्नुभएको छ । निष्ठामा चल्नेहरूका लागि उहाँ ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
8 that he may guard the righteous ways: and he will preserve the way of them that fear him.
उहाँले न्यायका मार्गहरूलाई सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ, र उहाँप्रति विश्वासयोग्य हुनेहरूको मार्ग रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
9 Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgment; and shall direct all your course aright.
तब तैँले धार्मिकता, न्याय, समानता र हरेक असल मार्गलाई बुझ्ने छस् ।
10 For if wisdom shall come into your understanding, and discernment shall seem pleasing to your soul,
किनकि बुद्धि तेरो हृदयमा आउने छ, र ज्ञान तेरो प्राणको लागि आनन्ददायक हुने छ ।
11 good counsel shall guard you, and holy understanding shall keep you;
विवेकले तँमाथि निगरानी गर्ने छ; समझशक्तिले तेरो रक्षा गर्ने छ ।
12 to deliver you from the evil way, and from the man that speaks nothing faithfully.
तिनीहरूले तँलाई दुष्ट चालबाट र छली कुराहरू गर्नेबाट जोगाउने छन् ।
13 Alas [for those] who forsake right paths, to walk in ways of darkness;
त्यस्ताहरूले ठिक मार्गलाई त्याग्छन्, र अन्धकारका मार्गमा हिँड्छन् ।
14 who rejoice in evils, and delight in wicked perverseness;
तिनीहरूले खराबी गर्दा तिनीहरू रमाउँछन्, र दुष्टका बदमासीहरूमा आनन्द मनाउँछन् ।
15 whose paths are crooked, and their courses winding;
तिनीहरू बाङ्गाटिङ्गा बाटाहरूमा हिँड्छन्, र छलको प्रयोग गर्दै तिनीहरूले आफ्ना चाल लुकाउँछन् ।
16 to remove you far from the straight way, and to estrange you from a righteous purpose. [My] son, let not evil counsel overtake you,
बुद्धि र विवेकले तँलाई व्यभिचारी स्त्री, र अनैतिक स्त्रीसाथै त्यसका चाप्लुसी वचानहरूबाट बचाउने छ ।
17 [of her] who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God.
त्यसले आफ्नो युवावस्थाको मित्रलाई त्याग्छे, र आफ्ना परमेश्वरको करारलाई भुल्छे ।
18 For she has fixed her house near death, and [guided] her wheels near Hades with the giants.
किनकि त्यसको घरले मृत्युमा डोर्याउँछ, र त्यसका बाटाहरूले तँलाई चिहानमा भएकाहरूकहाँ पुर्याउने छन् ।
19 None that go by her shall return, neither shall they take hold of right paths, for they are not apprehended of the years of life.
त्यसकहाँ जाने कोही पनि फेरि फर्केर आउने छैनन्, र तिनीहरूले जीवनका मार्गहरू भेट्टाउने छैनन् ।
20 For had they gone in good paths, they would have found the paths of righteousness easy.
त्यसकारण असल मानिसहरूको बाटोमा हिँड्, र धर्मी मानिसहरूको मार्गको पछि लाग ।
21 For the upright shall dwell in the earth, and the holy shall be left behind in it.
किनकि ती ठिक गर्नेहरूले देशमा घर बनाउने छन्, र निष्ठावान्हरू यसमा रहने छन् ।
22 The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth, and transgressors shall be driven away from it.
तर दुष्टहरूचाहिँ देशबाट जरैदेखि उखेलिने छन्, र विश्वासहीनहरू यसबाट मिल्काइने छन् ।
