उपदेशक 9
1 मैले धर्मात्मा र बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूका कार्यहरूको विषयमा मेरो मनमा यी सबै कुराबारे विचार गरेँ । ती सबै परमेश्वरका हातमा छन् । कसैमाथि प्रेम वा घृणा के आइपर्ने छ भनी कसैलाई थाहा छैन ।
For all this I have given to heart my and to make clear all this that the righteous and the wise and deeds their [are] in [the] hand of God both love as well as hatred not [is] knowing humankind everything [is] before them.
2 सबैको अन्त्य उही किसिमको हुन्छ । धर्मी र दुष्ट मानिसहरू, असल, शुद्ध र अशुद्ध अनि बलिदान चढाउने र बलिदान नचढाउने सबैको दशा एउटै हुन्छ । जसरी असल मानिसहरू मर्छन्, त्यसै गरी पापीहरू मर्ने छन् । जसरी वाचा बाँध्ने मर्छ, त्यसै गरी शपथ खान डराउने मानिस पनि मर्ने छ ।
All [is] just as for all fate one [belongs] to the righteous and to the wicked to the good (and to the evil *X*) and to the clean and to the unclean and to the [one who] sacrifices and to [one] who not he [is] sacrificing as the good [person] as the sinner the [one who] swears an oath just as an oath [one] fearing.
3 सूर्यमूनि गरिने हरेक कुराको लागि एउटा खराब दशा छ । तिनीहरू सबैमा उही कुरो आइपर्छ । मानिसको हृदय खराब कुराहरूले भरिएको छ, र तिनीहरू जिउँदा तिनीहरूको हृदयमा पागलपन हुन्छ । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू मरेकाहरूकहाँ जाने छन् ।
This - [is] an evil in all that it is done under the sun for fate one [belongs] to everyone and also [the] heart of [the] children of humankind [is] full evil and madness [is] in heart their in lives their and after it to the dead.
4 सबै बाँचेकाहरूसित मिल्न जानेको आशा हुन्छ । मरेको सिंहभन्दा जिउँदो कुकुर असल हो ।
For who? [is [the] one] who (he is united *Q(K)*) to all the living there [is] hope for to a dog living it [is] good more than the lion dead.
5 किनकि बाँचेकाहरू मर्ने छन् भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा छ, तर मरेकाहरूलाई केही पनि थाहा हुँदैन । तिनीहरूको स्मरणशक्ति गइसकेकोले तिनीहरूले कुनै इनाम पाउँदैन ।
For the living [are] knowing that they will die and the dead not they [are] knowing anything and not still [belongs] to them a reward for it is forgotten memory their.
6 तिनीहरूका प्रेम, घृणा र ईर्ष्या धेरै पहिलै नै गाएब भएर गइसकेका छन् । सूर्यमूनि गरिने कुनै पनि कुराको लागि तिनीहरूले फेरि कुनै ठाउँ पाउने छैनन् ।
Both love their as well as hatred their as well as envy their already it has perished and a portion not [belongs] to them again for ever in all that it is done under the sun.
7 आफ्नो बाटो लाग्; आनन्द भएर आफ्नो रोटी खा, र प्रसन्न हृदय लिएर आफ्नो दाखमद्य पि, किनकि असल कामहरूको उत्सवलाई परमेश्वरले अनुमोदन गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Go eat with gladness food your and drink with a heart good wine your for already he has taken pleasure in God deeds your.
8 तेरा लुगाहरू सधैँ सेता होऊन्, र तेरो शिर तेलले अभिषेक गरियोस् ।
At every time let them be clothes your white and oil on head your may not it be lacking.
9 परमेश्वरले सूर्यमूनि दिनुभएको यस व्यर्थ जीवनकालभरि तेरी पत्नीसित खुसी भएर बस् । सूर्यमूनि तेरो कामको लागि त्यो नै तेरो इनाम हो ।
See life with a wife whom you love all [the] days of [the] life of futility your which he has given to you under the sun all [the] days of futility your for that [is] portion your in life and in toil your which you [are] a laborer under the sun.
10 तेरो हातले जे काम पाउँछ, त्यो शक्ति लगाएर गर्, किनकि तँ जान लागिरहेको पातलमा कुनै काम वा व्याख्या वा ज्ञान वा बुद्धि छैन । (Sheol h7585)
All that it finds hand your to do with strength your do for there not [is] work and explanation and knowledge and wisdom in Sheol where you [are] going there towards. (Sheol h7585)
11 मैले सूर्यमूनि केही रोचक कुराहरू देखेको छुः तीव्रगतिमा कुद्नेहरूले दौड जित्दैनन् । बलिया मानिसहरूले युद्ध जित्दैनन् । बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूले रोटी पाउँदैनन् । समझशक्ति भएका मानिसहरूले धन-सम्पत्ति पाउँदैनन् । ज्ञान भएका मानिसहरूले निगाह पाउँदैनन् । बरु, समय र अवसरले तिनीहरू सबैलाई प्रभाव पार्छन् ।
I returned and I saw under the sun that not [belongs] to the swift the race and not [belongs] to the mighty [men] the battle and also not [belongs] to wise [people] food and also not [belongs] to the understanding wealth and also not [belongs] to the knowledgeable favor for time and chance it happens to all of them.
12 निश्चय नै त्यसको समय कहिले आउने छ भनी कसैलाई थाहा छैन । माछा घातक जालमा परेझैँ वा चराचुरुङ्गी पासोमा परेझैँ मानव-जाति खराब समयको पासोमा जेलिएका छन्, जुन पासो अकस्मात् तिनीहरूमाथि आइपर्छन् ।
For also not he knows humankind time his like fish that [are] caught in a net evil and like birds that are caught in snare like them [are] ensnared [the] children of humankind to a time evil when that falls on them suddenly.
13 मैले सूर्यमूनि यस्तो बुद्धि पनि देखेको छु, जसले मलाई निकै प्रभावित पार्यो ।
Also this I have seen wisdom under the sun and [was] great it to me.
14 एउटा सानो सहर थियो जहाँ थोरै मात्र मानिसहरू थिए । एउटा महान् राजा यसको विरुद्धमा आएर यसलाई घेरा हाले र यसको विरुद्धमा चारैतिर घेरा-मचान लगाए ।
A city small and men in it [were] few and he came against it a king great and he surrounded it and he built on it siege works great.
15 अब त्यस सहरमा एउटा गरिब मानिस फेला पारियो । त्यो बुद्धिमान् थियो, जसले आफ्नो बुद्धिले सहरलाई बचायो । तरै पनि पछि कसैले पनि त्यस गरिब मानिसलाई सम्झेन ।
And someone found in it a man poor wise and he delivered he the city by wisdom his and anyone not he remembered the man poor (that. *L(abh)*)
16 त्यसैले मैले निष्कर्ष निकालेँ, “शक्तिभन्दा बुद्धि उत्तम हो, तर त्यस गरिब मानिसको बुद्धिलाई तुच्छ ठानियो, र त्यसका वचनहरूलाई ध्यानै दिइएन ।”
And I said I [is] good wisdom more than strength and [the] wisdom of the poor [person] [is] despised and words his not they [are] listened to.
17 मूर्खहरूका बिचमा भएको शासकको चर्को सोरभन्दा नम्र भएर बोलिएका बुद्धिमान् मानिसका वचनहरूलाई राम्ररी ध्यान दिइन्छ ।
[the] words of Wise [people] in quietness [are] heard more than [the] cry of a ruler among fools.
18 युद्धका तरवारहरूभन्दा बुद्धि उत्तम हो, तर एउटा पापीले धेरै असल कामलाई विनाश गर्छ ।
[is] good Wisdom more than weapons of war and a sinner one he will destroy good much.
