Proverbs 16
1 To man, belong the preparations of the heart, but, from Yahweh, cometh the answer of the tongue.
हृदयका योजनाहरू मानिसका हुन्, तर जिब्रोको जवाफ परमप्रभुबाट नै आउँछ ।
2 All the ways of a man, [may be] pure in his own eyes, but, he that testeth spirits, is Yahweh.
मानिसका सबै मार्ग उसको आफ्नै दृष्टिमा शुद्ध छन्, तर परमप्रभुले अभिप्रायहरू जोख्नुहुन्छ ।
3 Roll, upon Yahweh, thy doings, that thy plans, may be established.
आफ्ना कामहरू परमप्रभुमा सुम्प, र तिम्रा योजनाहरू सफल हुने छन् ।
4 Everything, hath Yahweh made for its own purpose, yea, even the lawless one, for the day of calamity.
परमप्रभुले हरेक थोक यसको आफ्नो उद्धेश्यको लागि बनाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले दुष्टहरूलाई समेत विनाशको दिनको लागि राख्नुभएको छ ।
5 An abomination to Yahweh, is every one who is haughty in heart, hand to hand, he shall not be held innocent.
अहङ्कारी हृदय भएको हरेकलाई परमप्रभु घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर यो निश्चित छ, कि तिनीहरू दण्डविना उम्कने छैनन् ।
6 By lovingkindness and fidelity, shall iniquity be covered, and, in the revering of Yahweh, is a turning away from wrong.
करारको विश्वसनियता र भरोसाद्वारा अधर्मको प्रायश्चित्त हुन्छ, र परमप्रभुको भयद्वारा मानिसहरू खराबीबाट तर्कने छन् ।
7 When, acceptable to Yahweh, are the ways of a man, even his enemies, doth he cause to make peace with him.
जब मानिसका मार्गहरूले परमप्रभुलाई खुसी पार्छन्, तब उहाँले त्यसका शत्रुहरूलाई पनि त्यससित मिलापमा राख्नुहुने छ ।
8 Better a little with righteousness, than large revenues, without justice.
अन्यायसित कमाएको धेरै धन-सम्पत्तिभन्दा बरु ठिकसित कमाएको थोरै नै उत्तम हुन्छ ।
9 A man’s heart, deviseth his way, but, Yahweh, directeth his steps.
मानिसले आफ्नो हृदयमा योजना बुन्छ, तर परमप्रभुले नै त्यसका कदमहरू निर्धारण गर्नुहुन्छ ।

राजाको क्रोध मृत्युको दूत हो, तर बुद्धिमान् मानिसले तिनको रिसलाई शान्त पार्ने कोसिस गर्छ ।
