< Proverbs 1 >

1 These are the (proverbs/wise sayings) that come from Solomon, the King of Israel, who was the son of [King] David.
दाऊदका छोरा इस्राएलका राजा सोलोमनको हितोपदेशः
2 (These proverbs [PRS] can teach people/By studying these proverbs, people can learn) how to be wise and how to obey what these proverbs teach them. They will [also] help people to understand which teachings are wise.
यी हितोपदेशहरू बुद्धि र निर्देशनक कुराहरू सिकाउन र अन्तर्दृष्‍टिका वचनहरू सिकाउनलाई हो,
3 These proverbs [PRS] will teach you how to discipline/control yourselves, how to conduct your lives, and how to do what is right and just [DOU].
ताकि जे ठिक, न्यायी र उचित छ त्यो गरेर बाँच्नलाई तिमीले निर्देशन प्राप्‍त गर्न सक ।
4 They will show [people] who do not [yet] know much how to do things that are smart. They will show young people how to become wise and how to make good plans/decisions.
यी हितोपदेशहरू सोझाहरूलाई बुद्धि दिन र युवाहरूलाई ज्ञान र समझदारी दिनलाई पनि हो ।
5 Those who are wise should also pay attention [to these proverbs], in order to become more wise, and those who understand [these teachings] will receive good advice/guidance.
बुद्धिमानी मानिसहरूले सुनून् र तिनीहरूको ज्ञान बढाऊन्, अनि विवेकशील मानिसहरूले मार्गदर्शन पाऊन्,
6 Then they will be able to understand the meaning of proverbs and parables/metaphors, these wise sayings and (riddles/sayings that are difficult to understand).
जसद्वारा तिनीहरूले हितोपदेशहरू, दृष्‍टान्तहरू, बुद्धिमानीहरूका वचनहरू र आहानहरू बुझून् ।
7 If [you want to be] wise, you must begin by revering Yahweh. [Only] foolish people despise wisdom and good advice/discipline.
परमप्रभुको भय नै ज्ञानको सुरु हो । मूर्खहरूले बुद्धि र निर्देशनलाई तुच्छ ठान्छ ।
8 My son, pay attention to what [I], your father, am teaching you. And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
हे मरो छोरो, आफ्नो छोरोको निर्देशन सुन्, र आफ्नी आमाका नियमहरूलाई पाखा नलगा ।
9 What we teach you [will make you respected like having] a lovely turban around your head and [like] a [beautiful] necklace to put around your neck.
ती तेरो शिरमा अनुग्रहको माला हुने छन्, र तेरो गलामा सम्मानको हार हुने छन् ।
10 My son, if sinners tempt/entice you [to do what is wrong], say “No” to them.
हे मेरो छोरो, पापीहरूले तँलाई तिनीहरूकै पापमा बहकाउन खोजे भने, तिनीहरूको पछि नलाग् ।
11 They may say, “Come with us! Join us! We will hide and then kill [MTY] someone [who passes by]. We will ambush some helpless/innocent people.
तिनीहरूले भन्लान्, “हामीसित आऊ । उक्तपातको लागि ढुकिबसौँ । विनाकारण लुकेर निर्दोष मानिसहरूलाई आक्रमण गरौँ ।
12 We will kill them [HYP] and get rid of them completely, [just] like [people who are buried in] graves are gone forever. While they are in good health, we will send them to the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
स्वस्थहरूलाई पातालले निलेझैँ तिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै निलौँ, र तिनीहरूलाई खाडलमा खस्‍नेहरूलाई झैँ गरौँ । (Sheol h7585)
13 And we will seize all the things that they own. We will fill our houses with these things!
हामीले सबै किसिमका बहुमूल्य थोकहरू पाउने छौँ । तिनीहरूबाट हामीले चोरेका थोकहरूले हामी आफ्ना घरहरू भर्ने छौँ ।
14 [So], come with us! Join our group! We will share with you the things that we steal.”
तिमी हामीसित साझेदार होऊ । हामी सबैको एउटै थैलो हुने छ ।”
15 My son, do not accompany them! Do not walk on the roads with them!
हे मेरो छोरो, तिनीहरूसँग त्यस मार्गमा नचल । तिनीहरू हिँड्ने बाटोमा तेरा पाउलाई छुन नदे ।
16 They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder [MTY] people.
तिनीहरूका पाउ खराबीको लागि दौडन्छन्, र तिनीहरू रगत बगाउन हतारिन्छन् ।
17 It is useless to put out a (trap/net to catch a bird) because when a bird sees it, [it stays away from it].
किनकि कुनै पनि पक्षीको दृष्‍टिमा जाल फ्याँक्‍नु बेकाम्मा हुन्छ ।
18 But those wicked people are not like the birds, [because they do not realize] that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
यी मानिसहरू तिनीहरूको आफ्नै रगतको लागि ढुकिबस्छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्नै ज्यानको लागि पासो थाप्छन् ।
19 That is what happens to people who eagerly try to get things [by violently attacking others]. They will only destroy themselves!
अन्यायद्वारा धन थुपार्ने हरेकका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छन् । अन्यायद्वारा कमाउनेहरूको जीवन त्यही धनले छिनेर लैजान्छ ।
20 Wisdom [PRS] shouts to people in the streets, and calls out to people in the (plazas/town squares).
बुद्धि सडकमा चर्को गरी कराउँछ, र खुला ठाउँहरूमा त्यसले आफ्नो सोर उचाल्छ ।
21 Wisdom calls out in noisy places, and at the entrances to cities.
होहल्लाले भरिएका सडकहरूको माथि त्यो कराउँछ, र सहरको मूल ढोकामा त्यसले भन्छ,
22 [Wisdom says], “How long will you stupid people continue to enjoy doing foolish things [RHQ]? How long will you people who ridicule God enjoy doing that [RHQ]? How long will you foolish people refuse to know [what things are right] [RHQ]?
“हे निर्बुद्धि मानिसहरू हो, तिमीहरू कहिलेसम्म निर्बुद्धि भइरहन्छौ? हे गिल्ला गर्नेहरू हो, तिमीहरू कहिलेसम्म गिल्ला गर्नमा रमाउँछौ? र हे मूर्खहरू हो, तिमीहरू कहिलेसम्म ज्ञानलाई घृणा गर्छौ?
23 If you pay attention to me when I rebuke you, I will tell you what I am thinking in my inner being; I will give you some good advice.
मेरो सुधारलाई ध्यान देओ । म तिमीहरूमाथि मेरा विचार खन्याइदिने छु । म तिमीहरूलाई मेरा वचनहरू ज्ञात गराइदिने छु ।
24 But when I called to you, you refused to listen. I beckoned to you to come to me, but you ignored me.
मैले बोलाएको छु, तर तिमीहरूले सुन्‍न इन्कार गरेका छौ । मैले मेरा हात फैलाएँ, तर ध्यान दिने कोही थिएन ।
25 I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen to me. I tried to correct you, but you rejected what I told you.
तिमीहरूले मेरा सबै निर्देशनलाई बेवास्ता गरेका छौ, र मेरो सुधारलाई वास्तै गरेका छैनौ ।
26 So [now], when you are experiencing troubles/disasters, I will laugh at you. When things happen that cause you to be afraid, I will make fun of you.
तिमीहरूमाथि विपत्ति आइपर्दा म खिसी गर्ने छु; त्रास आउँदा म तिमीहरूलाई उपहास गर्ने छु-
27 When calamities strike you like a big storm, when disasters hit you like a violent wind, when [all kinds of things] distress you and give you trouble, [I will ridicule you!]
जब तिमीहरूमाथि आँधीबेहरीझैँ डरलाग्दो त्रास आउने छ, र भुमरीझैँ विपत्ति तिमीहरूमाथि मडारिन्छ, र सङ्कष्‍ट र पीडा तिमीहरूमाथि आउँछन् ।
28 [Wisdom also says], “When foolish people call to me [to help them], I will not answer them. They will search for me diligently/everywhere, but they will not find me.
तब तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गर्ने छन्, तर मे जवाफ दिने छैनँ । तिनीहरूले मेरो औधी खोजी गर्ने छन्, तर मलाई भेट्टाउने छैनन् ।
29 They refused to know [what things are right], and they decided not to revere Yahweh.
तिनीहरूले ज्ञानलाई घृणा गर्ने भएकाले र परमप्रभुको भयलाई नरोजेकाले,
30 They would not accept my advice, and they did not pay attention when I tried to correct them.
तिनीहरूले मेरो निर्देशनलाई मानेनन्, र मेरो सुधारलाई तुच्छ ठाने ।
31 So they will endure what will result [MET, DOU] from the evil way they have lived/behaved and the evil things they have planned to do.
तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूका चालको फल खाने छन्, र तिनीहरूका षड्यन्त्रको फलले तिनीहरू भरिने छन् ।
32 Those who turn away from me are stupid/foolish; they will die because of doing that.
किनकि निर्बुद्धिहरू फर्कंदा तिनीहरू मारिन्छन्, र मूर्खहरूको तटस्थताले तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्ने छन् ।
33 But those who pay attention to me will live peacefully and safely, and they will not be afraid that something will harm them.”
तर मेरो कुरा सुन्‍ने सुरक्षामा जिउने छ, र कुनै पनि विपत्तिको डरैविना ढुक्‍कसित बस्‍ने छ ।”
