Proverbs 7
1 My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
हे मेरो छोरो, मेरा वचनहरू पालन गर्, र मेरा आज्ञाहरू तँभित्र सञ्चय गरेर राख् ।
2 Obey my commands, and [as a result you will] live [a good life]. Consider the things that I teach you [to be very precious]; guard them, [just] like you protect your eyes.
मेरा आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेर बाँच्, र मेरो निर्देशनलाई तेरो आँखाको नानीजस्तै जोगाइराख् ।
3 Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
तिनलाई तेरा औँलाहरूमा बेह्रेर राख् । तिनलाई तेरो हृदयको पाटीमा लेखेर राख् ।
4 [Love] wisdom [like you love] your sister. Understand what is wise, [and let that be as dear to you as] members of your family.
बुद्धिलाई भन्, “तिमी मेरी बहिनी हौँ,” र समझशक्तिलाई आफ्नो आफन्त भन् ।
5 If you are wise and if you understand what is wise [PRS], you will not [sleep with] an immoral woman; you will not listen to a woman who tries to entice you [to sleep with her] by what she says.
तब तिनले तँलाई व्यभिचारी स्त्री र अनैतिक स्त्रीको मोहित तुल्याउने कुराहरूबाट बचाउने छन् ।
6 One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
मेरो घरको झ्यालमा बसेर मैले आँखी-झ्यालबाट हेर्दै थिएँ ।
7 I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
मैले सोझा मानिसहरूलाई हेरेँ, र युवाहरूका बिचमा एक जना निर्बुद्धिलाई ख्याल गरेँ ।
8 He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
त्यो जवान मानिस त्यस स्त्री बस्ने गल्ली नजिकबाट गयो, र त्यो स्त्रीको घरतर्फ लाग्यो ।
9 at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
साँझको बेलामा दिन ढल्कँदै थियो, जुन बेला अन्धकार छाएको थियो ।
10 Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her.
एउटी स्त्रीले त्यसलाई भेटी, जसले वेश्याले जस्तै पहिरन लगाएकी थिई र त्यसको हृदय धूर्त थियो ।
11 She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
त्यो चञ्चली र जिद्दीवाल थिई । त्यो आफ्नो घरमा बस्दिनथी ।
12 She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
त्यो कहिले सडकमा त कहिले बजारमा बस्थी, अनि हरेक कुनाकाप्चामा त्यो लुकेर बस्थी ।
13 [When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
त्यसले उसलाई पक्रेर चुम्बन गरी, र निर्लज्ज चेहरा लिएर भनी,
14 “I have [some meat that is left over from] a sacrifice that I made today [to maintain fellowship with Yahweh]; I have fulfilled/done what I promised him that I would do.
“आज मैले आफ्नो मेलबलि चढाएँ; मेरा भाकलहरू पुरा गरेँ ।
15 And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
त्यसैले म तपाईंलाई भेट्न, उत्सुकतासाथ तपाईंको मुहार हेर्न आएकी हुँ, र अहिले मैले तपाईंलाई भेट्टाएकी छु ।
16 I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
मैले मेरो ओछ्यानमा मिश्र देशको रङ्गिन तन्ना ओछ्याएकी छु ।
17 I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
मैले मेरो ओछ्यानमा मूर्र, एलवा र दालचिनी छर्केकी छु ।
18 Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
आउनुहोस्, बिहानसम्मै हामी प्रेमको सागरमा डुबौँ । हामी प्रेमको कार्यमा रमाऔँ ।
19 My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
किनकि मेरा पति घरमा हुनुहुन्न । उहाँ लामो यात्रामा जानुभएको छ ।
20 He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
उहाँले आफूसित पैसाको थैली लिएर जानुभएको छ । उहाँ पूर्णिमामा मात्र घर फर्कनुहुने छ ।”
21 [So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
धेरै कुराकानी गरेर त्यो उसकहाँ फर्की । त्यसले आफ्ना मोहित तुल्याउने कुराहरूलाई उसलाई फकाई ।
22 [And] he went with her immediately, like an ox that was going to where it would be slaughtered, or like a deer (OR, a fool) that is stepping into a noose/trap,
मारिनलाई लगिएको गोरुझैँ र पासोमा परेको मृगझैँ त्यो अकस्मात् स्त्रीको पछि लाग्यो ।
23 where it will remain/stay until someone shoots an arrow into its liver [and kills it]. [He was] like a bird that flew into a trap. He did not know that (it would cost him his life/he would die as a result).
वाणले त्यसको कलेजो नछेडेसम्म त्यो पछि लागरिरह्यो । त्यो जालतिर कुदिरहरेको चरोजस्तो थियो । आफ्नो ज्यानै गुमाउनुपर्थ्यो भनी त्यसलाई थाहा थिएन ।
24 My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
अब हे मेरा छोराहरू हो, मेरो कुरा सुन । मेरा मुखका वचनहरूलाई ध्यान देओ ।
25 Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
तिमीहरूको हृदय त्यसका मार्गहरूमा नलागोस् । त्यसका मार्गहरूमा बरालिएर नजाओ ।
26 She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
त्यसले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई फसाएकी छे । त्यसका सिकारहरू धेरै छन् ।
