Proverbs 23
1 If you will sit down to eat with a ruler carefully you will consider [that] which [is] before you.
तँ खानलाई शासकसित बस्दा तेरो सामु राखिएको खानेकुरालाई होसियारीपूर्वक अवलोकन गर् ।
2 And you will put a knife in throat your if [are] a master of appetite you.
तँ धेरै खाने खन्चुवा हो भने तेरो घाँटीमा चक्कु राख् ।
3 May not (you crave *Q(K)*) for dainties his and it [is] food of lies.
तिनको स्वादिष्ट खानेकुराको लालसा नगर्, किनकि यो झुटको खाना हो ।
4 May not you labor to gain riches from understanding your cease.
धन-सम्पत्ति कमाउन धेरै नघोट्टी । कहिले बन्द गर्ने भनी थाहा पाउन बुद्धिमानी बन् ।
5 (¿ Do you cause to fly *Q(K)*) eyes your on it and there not [is] it for certainly it makes for itself wings like an eagle (it flies away *Q(K)*) the heavens.
के यसमाथि तेरो आँखाको ज्योति चम्कन दिन्छस्? यो बितेर जाने छ, किनकि गरुडका झैँ यसका पखेटाहरू पलाउने छन् र यो आकाशमा उडेर जाने छ ।
6 May not you eat [the] food of a [person] evil of eye and may not (you crave *Q(K)*) for dainties his.
दुष्ट आँखा भएको मानिसको भोजन नखा, र त्यसको स्वादिष्ट खानेकुराको लालसा नगर् ।
7 For - as he calculates in self his [is] so he eat and drink he says to you and heart his not [is] with you.
किनकि त्यो भोजनको मूल्य गिन्ती गर्ने मानिस हो । त्यसले भन्छ, “खाऊ र पिऊ ।” तर त्यसको हृदय तँसित हुँदैन ।
8 Morsel your [which] you have eaten you will vomit up it and you will spoil words your pleasant.
तैँले खाएको थोरै खानेकुरा पनि तैँले बान्ता गर्ने छस्, र तैँले तेरो तारिफलाई त्यसै खेर जान दिनेछस् ।
9 In [the] ears of a fool may not you speak for he will despise [the] insight of words your.
मूर्खले सुन्ने गरी नबोल्, किनकि त्यसले तेरा वचनहरूको बुद्धिलाई तुच्छ ठान्ने छ ।
10 May not you displace a boundary of antiquity and in [the] fields of fatherless ones may not you go.
प्राचीन साँध-सिमानाको ढुङ्गो नहटा वा अनाथहरूको खेतबारी नमिच् ।
11 For redeemer their [is] strong he he will conduct case their with you.
किनभने तिनीहरूका उद्धारकर्ता शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले तेरो विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूको मुद्दा लड्नुहुने छ ।
12 Bring! to discipline heart your and ears your to words of knowledge.
तेरो हृदयलाई अर्तीतिर लगा, र तेरा कानलाई ज्ञानका वचनहरूमा लगा ।
13 May not you withhold from a youth discipline for you will strike him with the rod not he will die.
बच्चाबाट अर्तीलाई नरोक्, किनकि तैँले त्यसलाई अनुशासनमा राखिस् भने त्यो मर्ने छैन ।
त्यसलाई छडी लगाउने र पातालबाट त्यसको प्राण जोगाउने तँ नै होस् । (Sheol h7585)
15 O son my if it is wise heart your it will rejoice heart my also I.
हे मेरो छोरो, तेरो हृदय बुद्धिमानी छ भने मेरो हृदय पनि प्रसन्न हुने छ ।
16 So they may rejoice kidneys my when speak lips your uprightness.
तेरो ओठले जे ठिक छ, त्यही बोल्दा मेरो अन्तस्करण रमाउने छ ।
17 May not it be jealous heart of your sinners that except in [the] fear of Yahweh all the day.
तेरो हृदयलाई पापीहरूको ईर्ष्या गर्न नदे, तर दिनैभरि परमप्रभुको भयमा लागिराख् ।
18 That except there [is] a future and hope your not it will be cut off.
निश्चय नै एउटा भविष्य छ, र तेरो आशा निराश हुने छैन ।
19 Listen O you son my and be wise and guide in the way heart your.
हे मेरो छोरो, सुन् र बुद्धिमान् हो, अनि तेरो हृदयलाई सुमार्गमा लगा ।
20 May not you be among drunkards of wine among gluttons of meat themselves.
मातेकाहरू वा धेरै मासु हुसर्नेहरूसित सङ्गत नगर्,
21 For a drunkard and a glutton he will become impoverished and rags it will clothe [them] drowsiness.
किनकि मतवाला र घिचुवाहरू गरिब बन्छन्, र यस्तो लट्ठ्याइले तिनीहरूलाई झुत्रे बनाउँछ ।
22 Listen to father your who he begot you and may not you despise if she is old mother your.
तँलाई जन्म दिने बुबाको कुरा सुन्, र तेरी आमा वृद्ध हुँदा उनलाई तुच्छ नठान् ।
23 Truth buy and may not you sell [it] wisdom and discipline and understanding.
सत्यलाई किन्, र त्यसलाई नबेच् । बुद्धि, अर्ती र समझशक्तिलाई किन् ।
24 (Certainly he rejoices *Q(k)*) [the] father of a righteous [son] (and [one who] begets *Q(K)*) a wise [son] (he rejoices *Q(K)*) in him.
धर्मात्माको बुबा अत्यन्तै आनन्दित हुने छ, र बुद्धिमान् छोरोलाई जन्म दिने मानिस त्यसमा प्रसन्न हुने छ ।

हे मेरो छोरो, मलाई तेरो हृदय दे, र तेरा आँखाले मेरा मार्गहरू हेरून् ।
27 For [is] a pit deep a prostitute and [is] a well narrow a foreign [woman].
किनभने वेश्या एउटा गहिरो खाडल हो, र अनैतिक स्त्री एउटा साँघुरो इनार हो ।
28 Also she like a robber she lies in wait and treacherous [people] among humankind she increases.
त्यो चोरझैँ ढुकिबस्छे, र त्यसले मानिसहरूका बिचमा विश्वासघातीहरूको सङ्ख्या बढाउँछे ।
29 [belongs] to Whom? woe [belongs] to whom? woe! [belong] to whom? (contentions *Q(K)*) [belongs] to whom? complaint [belong] to whom? wounds without cause [belongs] to whom? dullness of eyes.
कोसित कष्ट छ? कोसित शोक छ? कोसित कलह छ? कोसित गुनासो छ? कोसित विनाकारण चोट छ? कसका आँखा राताराता छन्?
30 To [those who] delay over the wine to [those who] go to examine mixed wine.
तिनीहरूकै जो धेरै मद्य पिउँछन्, जसले मिश्रित मद्य पिउँछन् ।
31 May not you see wine for it will be red if it will give (in the cup *Q(K)*) eye its it will go with smoothness.
मद्य रातो हुँदा, कचौरामा त्यसको फिँज उठ्दा र त्यो सहजै उँधो जाँदा त्यसलाई नहेर् ।
32 End its like a snake it will bite and like a viper it will sting.
अन्त्यमा त्यसले सर्पले झैँ डस्छ, र गोमनले झैँ विष हालिदिन्छ ।
33 Eyes your they will see strange [things] and heart your it will speak perverse things.
तेरा आँखाहरूले अनौठा कुराहरू देख्ने छन्, र तेरो मनले टेडा कुराहरू व्यक्त गर्ने छन् ।
34 And you will be like [one who] lies down in [the] heart of [the] sea and like [one who] lies down at [the] top of a mast.
तँ महासमुद्रमा सुतिरहने व्यक्तिझैँ वा मस्तुलको डोरीको मास्तिर बस्नेझैँ हुने छ ।
35 They struck me not I am sick they beat me not I know when? will I awake I will repeat I will seek it again.
तैँले भन्ने छस्, “तिनीहरू मलाई हिर्काए, तर मलाई चोट लागेन ।” तिनीहरूले मलाई पिटे, तर मलाई यसको अनुभूति भएन । म कहिले ब्युँझने छु? म अर्को चुस्की खोज्ने छु ।”
