< Proverbs 1 >
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, the king of Israel.
दाऊदका छोरा इस्राएलका राजा सोलोमनको हितोपदेशः
2 These proverbs are to teach wisdom and instruction, to teach words of insight,
यी हितोपदेशहरू बुद्धि र निर्देशनक कुराहरू सिकाउन र अन्तर्दृष्टिका वचनहरू सिकाउनलाई हो,
3 that you may receive instruction in order to live by doing what is right, just, and fair.
ताकि जे ठिक, न्यायी र उचित छ त्यो गरेर बाँच्नलाई तिमीले निर्देशन प्राप्त गर्न सक ।
4 These proverbs are also to give wisdom to the naive, and to give knowledge and discretion to young people.
यी हितोपदेशहरू सोझाहरूलाई बुद्धि दिन र युवाहरूलाई ज्ञान र समझदारी दिनलाई पनि हो ।
5 Let wise people listen and increase their learning, and let discerning people get guidance,
बुद्धिमानी मानिसहरूले सुनून् र तिनीहरूको ज्ञान बढाऊन्, अनि विवेकशील मानिसहरूले मार्गदर्शन पाऊन्,
6 to understand proverbs, sayings, and words of wise people and their riddles.
जसद्वारा तिनीहरूले हितोपदेशहरू, दृष्टान्तहरू, बुद्धिमानीहरूका वचनहरू र आहानहरू बुझून् ।
7 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge— fools despise wisdom and instruction.
परमप्रभुको भय नै ज्ञानको सुरु हो । मूर्खहरूले बुद्धि र निर्देशनलाई तुच्छ ठान्छ ।
8 My son, hear the instruction of your father and do not lay aside the rules of your mother;
हे मरो छोरो, आफ्नो छोरोको निर्देशन सुन्, र आफ्नी आमाका नियमहरूलाई पाखा नलगा ।
9 they will be a graceful wreath for your head and pendants hanging from your neck.
ती तेरो शिरमा अनुग्रहको माला हुने छन्, र तेरो गलामा सम्मानको हार हुने छन् ।
10 My son, if sinners try to entice you into their sin, refuse to follow them.
हे मेरो छोरो, पापीहरूले तँलाई तिनीहरूकै पापमा बहकाउन खोजे भने, तिनीहरूको पछि नलाग् ।
11 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide and attack innocent people for no reason.
तिनीहरूले भन्लान्, “हामीसित आऊ । उक्तपातको लागि ढुकिबसौँ । विनाकारण लुकेर निर्दोष मानिसहरूलाई आक्रमण गरौँ ।
12 Let us swallow them up alive, like Sheol takes away those who are healthy, and make them like those who fall into the pit. (Sheol )
स्वस्थहरूलाई पातालले निलेझैँ तिनीहरूलाई जिउँदै निलौँ, र तिनीहरूलाई खाडलमा खस्नेहरूलाई झैँ गरौँ । (Sheol )
13 We shall find all kinds of valuable things; we will fill our houses with what we steal from others.
हामीले सबै किसिमका बहुमूल्य थोकहरू पाउने छौँ । तिनीहरूबाट हामीले चोरेका थोकहरूले हामी आफ्ना घरहरू भर्ने छौँ ।
14 Throw in your lot with us; we will all have one purse together.”
तिमी हामीसित साझेदार होऊ । हामी सबैको एउटै थैलो हुने छ ।”
15 My son, do not walk down that road with them; do not let your foot touch where they walk;
हे मेरो छोरो, तिनीहरूसँग त्यस मार्गमा नचल । तिनीहरू हिँड्ने बाटोमा तेरा पाउलाई छुन नदे ।
16 their feet run to evil and they hurry to shed blood.
तिनीहरूका पाउ खराबीको लागि दौडन्छन्, र तिनीहरू रगत बगाउन हतारिन्छन् ।
17 For it is useless to spread the net in the sight of any bird.
किनकि कुनै पनि पक्षीको दृष्टिमा जाल फ्याँक्नु बेकाम्मा हुन्छ ।
18 These men lie in wait for their own blood— they set an ambush for their own lives.
यी मानिसहरू तिनीहरूको आफ्नै रगतको लागि ढुकिबस्छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्नै ज्यानको लागि पासो थाप्छन् ।
19 So are the ways of everyone who gains riches by injustice; unjust gain takes away the lives of those who hold on to it.
अन्यायद्वारा धन थुपार्ने हरेकका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छन् । अन्यायद्वारा कमाउनेहरूको जीवन त्यही धनले छिनेर लैजान्छ ।
20 Wisdom cries aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the open places;
बुद्धि सडकमा चर्को गरी कराउँछ, र खुला ठाउँहरूमा त्यसले आफ्नो सोर उचाल्छ ।
21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, at the entrance of the city gates she speaks,
होहल्लाले भरिएका सडकहरूको माथि त्यो कराउँछ, र सहरको मूल ढोकामा त्यसले भन्छ,
22 “How long, you naive people, will you love being naive? How long, you mockers, will you delight in mockery, and how long, you fools, will you hate knowledge?
“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 Pay attention to my correction; I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you.
मेरो सुधारलाई ध्यान देओ । म तिमीहरूमाथि मेरा विचार खन्याइदिने छु । म तिमीहरूलाई मेरा वचनहरू ज्ञात गराइदिने छु ।
24 I have called, and you have refused to listen; I reached out with my hand, but there was no one who paid attention.
मैले बोलाएको छु, तर तिमीहरूले सुन्न इन्कार गरेका छौ । मैले मेरा हात फैलाएँ, तर ध्यान दिने कोही थिएन ।
25 But you have ignored all my instruction and paid no attention to my correction.
तिमीहरूले मेरा सबै निर्देशनलाई बेवास्ता गरेका छौ, र मेरो सुधारलाई वास्तै गरेका छैनौ ।
26 I will laugh at your calamity, I will mock you when the terror comes—
तिमीहरूमाथि विपत्ति आइपर्दा म खिसी गर्ने छु; त्रास आउँदा म तिमीहरूलाई उपहास गर्ने छु-
27 when your fearful dread comes like a storm and disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
जब तिमीहरूमाथि आँधीबेहरीझैँ डरलाग्दो त्रास आउने छ, र भुमरीझैँ विपत्ति तिमीहरूमाथि मडारिन्छ, र सङ्कष्ट र पीडा तिमीहरूमाथि आउँछन् ।
28 Then they will call upon me, and I will not answer; they will desperately call for me, 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 Because they hate knowledge and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,
तिनीहरूले ज्ञानलाई घृणा गर्ने भएकाले र परमप्रभुको भयलाई नरोजेकाले,
30 they would not follow my instruction, and they despised all my correction.
तिनीहरूले मेरो निर्देशनलाई मानेनन्, र मेरो सुधारलाई तुच्छ ठाने ।
31 They will eat the fruit of their ways, and with the fruit of their schemes they will be filled.
तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूका चालको फल खाने छन्, र तिनीहरूका षड्यन्त्रको फलले तिनीहरू भरिने छन् ।
32 For the naive are killed when they turn away, and the indifference of fools will destroy them.
किनकि निर्बुद्धिहरू फर्कंदा तिनीहरू मारिन्छन्, र मूर्खहरूको तटस्थताले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्ने छन् ।
33 But whoever listens to me will live in safety and will rest secure with no fear of disaster.”
तर मेरो कुरा सुन्ने सुरक्षामा जिउने छ, र कुनै पनि विपत्तिको डरैविना ढुक्कसित बस्ने छ ।”
