हितोपदेश 2
1 हे मेरो छोरो, तैँले मेरा वचनहरू ग्रहण गरिस् र मेरा आज्ञाहरूलाई तेरो मनमा राखिस् भने,
O son my if you will receive words my and commandments my you will treasure with you.
2 बुद्धिका कुराहरू सुन्न तेरो कान थापिस्, र तेरो हृदयलाई समझशक्तितिर लगाइस् भने,
To make attend to wisdom ear your you will incline heart your to understanding.
3 तैँले समझशक्तिको लागि पुकारा गरिस्, र यसको लागि सोर उचालिस् भने,
That except to discernment you will call to understanding you will give voice your.
4 तैँले चाँदीलाई झैँ यसलाई खोजिस्, र गाडधनलाई झैँ समझशक्तिको खोजी गरिस् भने,
If you will seek it like silver and like treasures you will search for it.
5 तैँले परमप्रभुको भय बुझ्ने छस्, र परमेश्वरको ज्ञान पाउने छस् ।
Then you will discern [the] fear of Yahweh and [the] knowledge of God you will find.
6 किनकि परमप्रभुले नै बुद्धि दिनुहुन्छ, अनि उहाँको मुखबाट ज्ञान र समझशक्ति निस्कन्छन् ।
For Yahweh he gives wisdom from mouth his knowledge and understanding.
7 उहाँलाई खुसी तुल्याउनेहरूका लागि उहाँले पक्का बुद्धि साँचेर राख्नुभएको छ । निष्ठामा चल्नेहरूका लागि उहाँ ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
(He stores up *Q(K)*) for upright [people] success a shield to [those who] walk of integrity.
8 उहाँले न्यायका मार्गहरूलाई सुरक्षा दिनुहुन्छ, र उहाँप्रति विश्वासयोग्य हुनेहरूको मार्ग रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
To guard [the] paths of justice and [the] way of (faithful [people] his *Q(K)*) he will preserve.
9 तब तैँले धार्मिकता, न्याय, समानता र हरेक असल मार्गलाई बुझ्ने छस् ।
Then you will understand righteousness and justice and uprightness every course of good.
10 किनकि बुद्धि तेरो हृदयमा आउने छ, र ज्ञान तेरो प्राणको लागि आनन्ददायक हुने छ ।
For it will come wisdom in heart your and knowledge to self your it will be pleasant.
11 विवेकले तँमाथि निगरानी गर्ने छ; समझशक्तिले तेरो रक्षा गर्ने छ ।
Discretion it will watch over you understanding it will preserve you.
12 तिनीहरूले तँलाई दुष्ट चालबाट र छली कुराहरू गर्नेबाट जोगाउने छन् ।
To deliver you from a way evil from anyone [who] speaks perverse things.
13 त्यस्ताहरूले ठिक मार्गलाई त्याग्छन्, र अन्धकारका मार्गमा हिँड्छन् ।
Those [who] leave paths of uprightness to walk in [the] ways of darkness.
14 तिनीहरूले खराबी गर्दा तिनीहरू रमाउँछन्, र दुष्टका बदमासीहरूमा आनन्द मनाउँछन् ।
The [ones] joyful to do evil they exult in perverse things of evil.
15 तिनीहरू बाङ्गाटिङ्गा बाटाहरूमा हिँड्छन्, र छलको प्रयोग गर्दै तिनीहरूले आफ्ना चाल लुकाउँछन् ।
Who paths their [are] twisted and [who are] crooked in tracks their.
16 बुद्धि र विवेकले तँलाई व्यभिचारी स्त्री, र अनैतिक स्त्रीसाथै त्यसका चाप्लुसी वचानहरूबाट बचाउने छ ।
To deliver you from a woman strange from a foreign [woman] [who] words her she makes smooth.
17 त्यसले आफ्नो युवावस्थाको मित्रलाई त्याग्छे, र आफ्ना परमेश्वरको करारलाई भुल्छे ।
Who leaves [the] close friend of youth her and [the] covenant of God her she forgets.
18 किनकि त्यसको घरले मृत्युमा डोर्याउँछ, र त्यसका बाटाहरूले तँलाई चिहानमा भएकाहरूकहाँ पुर्याउने छन् ।
For she sank down to death house her and to [the] shades tracks her.
19 त्यसकहाँ जाने कोही पनि फेरि फर्केर आउने छैनन्, र तिनीहरूले जीवनका मार्गहरू भेट्टाउने छैनन् ।
All [those who] go to her not they return! and not they reach [the] paths of life.
20 त्यसकारण असल मानिसहरूको बाटोमा हिँड्, र धर्मी मानिसहरूको मार्गको पछि लाग ।
So that you may walk in [the] way of good [people] and [the] paths of righteous [people] you will keep.
21 किनकि ती ठिक गर्नेहरूले देशमा घर बनाउने छन्, र निष्ठावान्हरू यसमा रहने छन् ।
For upright [people] (they will dwell *L(bah)*) [the] land and blameless [people] they will remain in it.
22 तर दुष्टहरूचाहिँ देशबाट जरैदेखि उखेलिने छन्, र विश्वासहीनहरू यसबाट मिल्काइने छन् ।
And wicked [people] from [the] land they will be cut off and treacherous [people] they will be torn away from it.
