उपदेशक 11
1 तेरो अन्न पानीमा फालिदे, किनकि धेरै दिनपछि तैँले फेरि त्यसलाई भेट्टाउने छस् ।
Send out your bread on the waters, for you will find it again after many days.
2 त्यसलाई सात वा आठ जना मानिससित बाँडचुँड गर्, किनकि पृथ्वीमा कस्तो किसिमका विपत्तिहरू आउँदै छन् भनी तँलाई थाहा छैन ।
Share it with seven, even eight people, for you do not know what disasters are coming on the earth.
3 बादलहरू पानीले भरिएका छन् भने तिनीहरू पृथ्वीमा बर्सेर आफै रित्तिन्छन्, र रुख उत्तर वा दक्षिणतिर ढल्यो भने त्यो जहाँसुकै ढले तापनि त्यो रहने छ ।
If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth, and if a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it will remain.
4 बतासलाई हेर्नेले बिउ नछर्ला, र बादललाई हेर्नेले कटनी नगर्ला ।
Anyone who watches the wind might not plant, and anyone who watches the clouds might not harvest.
5 जसरी तँलाई बतासको बाटो थाहा छैन, न त गर्भवती महिलाको गर्भमा बच्चाका हड्डीहरू कसरी बढ्छन् भनी थाहा छ, त्यसै गरी हरेक थोक सृष्टि गर्नुहुने परमेश्वरको कामलाई पनि तैँले बुझ्न सक्दैनस् ।
As you do not know the path of the wind, nor how a baby's bones grow in the pregnant womb, so also you cannot comprehend the work of God, who created everything.
6 बिहान तेरो बिउ रोप् । साँझसम्म आवश्यकताअनुसार तेरो हातले काम गर्, किनकि बिहान वा साँझ, त्यो वा यो कुनचाहिँ बिउ उम्रन्छ वा दुवै राम्रा हुन्छन् भनी तँलाई थाहा छैन ।
In the morning plant your seed; until the evening, work with your hands as needed, for you know not which will prosper, whether morning or evening, or this or that, or whether they will both alike be good.
7 उज्यालो वास्तवमै रमणीय हुन्छ, र घामलाई देख्न पाउनु आँखाको लागि मनोहर कुरो हो ।
Truly the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
8 कोही धेरै वर्षसम्म बाँच्यो भने त्यो ती सबै वर्ष प्रसन्न होस्, तर त्यसले आउनेवाला अन्धकार दिनहरूको बारेमा सोचोस्, किनकि त्यस्ता दिनहरू धेरै हुने छन् । हुन आउने हरेक कुरो बिलाएर जाने बाफ हुन् ।
If someone lives many years, let him be happy in all of them, but let him think about the coming days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything to come is vanishing vapor.
9 हे जवान मानिस, तेरो युवावस्थामा आनन्द मना, र तेरो युवावस्थाको बेलामा तेरो हृदय आनन्दित होस् । तेरो हृदय र तेरा आँखाले देख्न सक्ने असल इच्छाहरूको पछि लाग् । तथापि यी सबै कुराको लागि परमेश्वरले तँमाथि इन्साफ ल्याउनुहुने छ भनी जान् ।
Take joy, young man, in your youth, and let your heart be joyful in the days of your youth. Pursue the good desires of your heart, and whatever is within the sight of your eyes. However, know that God will bring you into judgment for all these things.
10 तेरो हृदयबाट रिसलाई हटा, र तेरो शरीरमा भएको कुनै पनि दर्दलाई बेवास्ता गर्, किनकि युवावस्था र यसको शक्ति व्यर्थ हुन् ।
Drive anger away from your heart, and ignore any pain in your body, because youth and its strength are vapor.
