Proverbs 6
1 My son, if you set aside your money as a guarantee for your neighbor's loan, if you gave your promise for a loan of someone you do not know,
हे मेरो छोरो, आफ्नो छिमेकीको ऋणको लागि तँ जमानी बसेको छस्, वा आफूले नचिनेको व्यक्तिको ऋणको लागि तैँले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छस् भने,
2 then you have laid a trap for yourself by your promise and you have been caught by the words of your mouth.
तेरो प्रतिज्ञाद्वारा तैँले आफैलाई पासो थापेको छस्, र तेरो मुखको वचनद्वारा तँ पक्रिएको छस् ।
3 When you are caught by your words, my son, do this and save yourself, since you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor; go and humble yourself and make your case before your neighbor.
हे मेरो छोरो, तेरो वचनद्वारा तँ पक्राउ पर्दा यसो गरेर आफैलाई बचा, किनकि तँ तेरो छिमेकीको हातमा परिसकेको छस् । गएर आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्या, र तेरो छिमेकीको सामु आफ्नो मामला राख ।
4 Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber.
आँखामा निद्रा पर्न नदे, र तेरा पलकलाई बन्द हुन नदे ।
5 Save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
सिकारीको हातबाट हरिण उम्केझैँ र व्यधाको हातबाट चरा उम्केझैँ आफैलाई बचा ।
6 Look at the ant, you lazy person, consider her ways, and be wise.
ए अल्छे मानिस, कमिलालाई हेर् । त्यसका चालहरूलाई विचार गरेर बुद्धिमानी बन् ।
7 It has no commander, officer, or ruler,
त्यसको कुनै अगुवा, हाकिम वा शासक हुँदैन,
8 yet it prepares its food in the summer and during the harvest it stores up what it will eat.
तरै पनि ग्रिष्म ऋतुमा त्यसले आफ्नो भोजन तयार गर्छ, र कटनीको बेला आफ्नो खानेकुरा सञ्चय गर्छ ।
9 How long will you sleep, you lazy person? When will you rise from your sleep?
ए अल्छे मानिस, तँ कहिलेसम्म सुत्ने छस्? तेरो निद्राबाट तँ कहिले ब्युँझने छस्?
10 “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest”—
क्षणिक सुताइ, क्षणिक उँघाइ र आरामको लागि क्षणिक हात बाँध्ने कामले
11 and your poverty will come like a robber and your needs like an armed soldier.
गरिबी चोरझैँ आउने छ, र आवश्यकताचाहिँ हतियार भिरेको सिपाहीझैँ आउने छ ।
12 A worthless person—a wicked man— lives by the crookedness of his speech,
बेकम्मा व्यक्ति अर्थात् दुष्ट मानिस आफ्नो जाली बोलिवचनद्वारा जिउँछ ।
13 winking his eyes, making signals with his feet and pointing with his fingers.
त्यसले आफ्ना आँखा झिम्काउँछ, आफ्नो खुट्टाले सङ्केत गर्छ र आफ्ना औँलाले इसारा गर्छ ।
14 He plots evil with deceit in his heart; he always stirs up discord.
त्यसले आफ्नो हृदयमा छल राखेर दुष्ट योजना बनाउँछ । त्यसले सधैँ विवाद निम्त्याउँछ ।
15 Therefore his disaster will overtake him in an instant; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
त्यसकारण त्यसको विपत्तिले त्यसलाई एकै क्षणमा आक्रमण गर्ने छ । क्षण भरमा नै निको नहुने गरी त्यो टुट्ने छ ।
16 There are six things that Yahweh hates, seven that are disgusting to him.
छवटा कुरा छन् जसलाई परमप्रभु घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, र सातौचाहिँ उहाँको लागि घिनलाग्दो छ ।
17 The eyes of a proud person, a tongue that lies, hands that shed the blood of innocent people,
अहङ्कारी व्यक्तिका आँखा, झुट बोल्ने जिब्रो, निर्दोष मानिसहरूको रगत बगाउने हात,
18 a heart that invents wicked schemes, feet that quickly run to do evil,
दुष्ट योजनाहरू रच्ने हृदय, खराबी गर्न अग्रसर हुने खुट्टा,
19 a witness who breathes out lies and one who sows discord among brothers.
झुट बोल्ने साक्षी र दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा विवाद उत्पन्न गर्ने मानिस ।
20 My son, obey the command of your father and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
हे मेरो छोरो, आफ्नो बुबाको आज्ञा मान्, र आफ्नी आमाको शिक्षालाई नत्याग् ।
21 Always bind them on your heart; tie them about your neck.
तिनलाई सधैँ तेरो हृदयमा बाँधिराख् । तिनलाई तेरो गलाको वरिपरि बाँधिराख् ।
22 When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; and when you wake up, they will teach you.
तँ हिँड्दा तिनले तँलाई अगुवाइ गर्ने छन् । तँ सुत्दा तिनले तेरो हेरचाह गर्ने छन्, र तँ ब्युँझँदा तिनले तँलाई सिकाउने छन् ।
23 For the commands are a lamp, and the teaching is a light; the corrections that come by instruction are the way of life.
किनकि आज्ञाहरू बत्ती र शिक्षा ज्योति हुन् । निर्देशनद्वारा आउने सुधार जीवनका मार्ग हुन् ।
24 It keeps you from the immoral woman, from the smooth words of an immoral woman.
यसले तँलाई अनैतिक स्त्रीबाट बचाउने छ, र त्यसका चिल्ला वचनहरूबाट जोगाउने छ ।
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes.
त्यसको सुन्दरताको कारण तेरो हृदयमा कामवासनाले नजल, र त्यसका आँखाले तँलाई नफसाओस् ।
26 Sleeping with a prostitute can cost the price of a loaf of bread, but the wife of another may cost you your very life.
वेश्यासितको सुताइको मूल्य रोटीको एउटा टुक्रा हुन सक्छ, तर अर्काकी पत्नीको लागि तैँले आफ्नो जीवनै गुमाउनुपर्ने हुन सक्छ ।
27 Can a man carry a fire against his chest without burning his clothes?
के आफ्नो लुगा नडढाइकन कसैले आफ्नो काखमा आगो राख्न सक्छ?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
के आफ्नो खुट्टा नजलाइकन कुनै मानिस आगोको भुङ्ग्रोमा हिँड्न सक्छ?
29 So is the man who sleeps with his neighbor's wife; the one who sleeps with her will not go unpunished.
आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीसित सुत्ने पुरुष पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छ । त्यससित सुत्ने मानिस दण्डविना उम्कने छैन ।
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his need when he is hungry.
भोकाएको मानिसले आफ्नो भोक मेट्न चोरी गर्यो भने मानिसहरूले त्यसलाई तुच्छ ठान्दैनन् ।
31 Yet if he is caught, he will pay back seven times what he stole; he must give up everything of value in his house.
तापनि त्यो पक्राउ पर्यो भने त्यसले आफूले चोरेको सात गुणा बढी तिर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो घरमा भएको हरेक थोक दिनुपर्ने हुन सक्छ ।
32 The one who commits adultery has no sense; the one who does it destroys himself.
व्यभिचार गर्ने व्यक्ति समझविनाको हुन्छ । यसो गर्नेले आफैलाई नष्ट पार्छ ।
33 Wounds and shame are what he deserves and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
त्यो चोट र लाजको हकदार बन्छ, र त्यसको अपमान मेटिने छैन ।
34 For jealousy makes a man furious; he will show no mercy when he takes his revenge.
किनकि लालचले मानिसलाई क्रोधित तुल्याउँछ । त्यसले बदला लिँदा कृपा देखाउने छैन ।
35 He will accept no compensation and he cannot be bought off, though you offer him many gifts.
त्यसले कुनै क्षतिपूर्ति स्वीकार गर्ने छैन, र धेरै घुस दिए तापनि त्यसलाई किन्न सकिँदैन ।
