Proverbs 26
1 Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
ग्रिष्म ऋतुमा हिउँ वा फसलको समयमा झरी परेझैँ मूर्ख आदरको योग्य हुँदन ।
2 Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.
भुर्र उड्ने भँगेरो र हानिएर जाने गौँथलीझैँ कारणविनाको श्राप पनि लाग्दैन ।
3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.
कोर्रा घोडाको लागि हो; लगाम गधाको लागि हो र लट्ठी मूर्खहरूको पिठिउँको लागि हो ।
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
मूर्खलाई त्यसको मूर्खताअनुसार जवाफ नदे, नत्रता तँ त्योजस्तै हुने छस् ।
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
मूर्खलाई जवाफ दे र त्यसको मूर्खतामा मिल् ताकि त्यो त्यसको आफ्नै दृष्टिमा बुद्धिमान् नहोस् ।
6 One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
मूर्खको हातमा सन्देश पठाउने मानिसले आफ्नै खुट्टामा बन्चरो हानेर हिंसा पिउँछ ।
7 Like the legs of the lame that hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
पक्षाघातीका झुण्डिएका खुट्टाहरूझैँ मूर्खको मुखमा भएको हितोपदेश हुन्छ ।
8 As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
मूर्खलाई आदन दिनु घुयेँत्रोमा ढुङ्गा बाँध्नुजस्तै हो ।
9 Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
मतवालाको हातमा काँढा भएझैँ मूर्खको मुखमा भएको हितोपदेश हो ।
10 As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.
मूर्ख वा बटुवालाई ज्यालामा काम लगाउनु धनुर्धारीले त्यसको वरिपरि भएका सबैलाई काँड हानी चोट पुर्याउनुजस्तै हो ।
11 As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.
जसरी कुकुर आफ्नै बान्तामा फर्केर आउँछ, त्यसै गरी मूर्खले आफ्नो मूर्खता दोहोर्याउँछ ।
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
के तैँले आफ्नै दृष्टिमा बुद्धिमान् भएको कुनै मानिसलाई देखेको छस्? त्यसको भन्दा त मूर्खको लागि बढी आशा हुन्छ ।
13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road. A fierce lion roams the streets."
अल्छे मानिसले भन्छ, “सडकमा सिंह छ । खुला ठाउँहरूका बिचमा सिंह छ ।”
14 As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.
ढोका आफ्नो कब्जामा यताउता हल्लेझैँ अल्छे मानिस आफ्नो खाटमा पल्टन्छ ।
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back 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 own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
सही न्यायसहित प्रतिक्रिया दिने सात जना मानिसभन्दा अल्छे मानिस त्यसको आफ्नै दृष्टिमा बुद्धिमान् हुन्छ ।
17 Like one who grabs a dog's ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
कुकुरको कान समात्ने मानिस आफूसित सम्बन्धित नभएको झगडामा रिसाउने बटुवाजस्तै हो ।
18 Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,
त्यो घातक काँड हान्ने बौलाहा मानिसजस्तो हो,
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "Am I not joking?"
जसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई धोका दिइसकेपछि भन्छ, “के मैले ठट्टा गर्दै थिइनँ र?”
20 Without wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, contention ceases.
दाउराको कमीले आगो निभ्छ, र जहाँ कुरौटो हुँदैन त्यहाँ झगडाको अन्त्य हुन्छ ।
21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
जसरी भुङ्ग्रोको लागि कोइला र आगोको लागि दाउरा हो, त्यसै गरी झगडालु मानिस कलह सल्काउनको लागि हो ।
22 The words of a gossip are as tasty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
कुरौटेका वचनहरू स्वादिष्ट गाँसजस्तै हुन्छन् । ती शरीरको भित्री भागसम्म प्रवेश गर्छन् ।
23 Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
माटोको भाँडामा चल्काउने जलप लाएझैँ आघात पुर्याउने ओठ र दुष्ट हृदय हुन्छ ।
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.
अरूहरूलाई घृणा गर्नेले आफ्नो ओठले आफ्ना भावना लुकाउँछ, तर भित्रपट्टि भने त्यसले छलछामलाई आश्रय दिन्छ ।
25 When his speech is charming, do not believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart.
त्यसले अनुग्रही भएर बोले तपानि त्यसमाथि विश्वास नगर्, किनकि त्यसको हृदयमा सातवटा घृणित कुरा छन् ।
26 His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
त्यसको घृणालाई छलले ढाकिएको भए तापनि त्यसको दुष्टता सभामा खुला हुने छ ।
27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
खाडल खन्ने मानिस त्यसभित्र जाकिन्छ, र ढुङ्गा गुडाउने मानिसमा नै त्यो ढुङ्गा फर्केर आउने छ ।
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
झुट बोल्ने जिब्रोले पीडामा परेकाहरूलाई घृणा गर्छ, र चापलुसी घस्ने मुखले विनाश ल्याउँछ ।
