हितोपदेश 3
1 हे मेरो छोरो, मेरा आज्ञाहरू नभुल्, र मेरा शिक्षाहरूलाई तेरो हृदयमा राख् ।
O son my instruction my may not you forget and commandments my let it keep heart your.
2 किनकि तिनले तेरो आयु लामो बनाउने छन्, र शान्ति ल्याउने छन् ।
For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
3 करारको विश्वसनीयता र भरोसाले तँलाई कहिल्यै नछोडून् । तिनलाई तेरो गलाको वरिपरि सँगसँगै बाँध् । तिनलाई तेरो हृदयको पाटीमा लेख् ।
Loyalty and faithfulness may not they leave you bind them on necks your write them on [the] tablet of heart your.
4 तब तैँले परमेश्वर र मानिसको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाउने छस्, र ख्याति कमाउने छस् ।
And find favor and insight good in [the] eyes of God and humankind.
5 तेरो सारा हृदयले परमप्रभुमाथि भरोसा राख्, र तेरो आफ्नै समझशक्तिमा भर नपर् ।
Trust to Yahweh with all heart your and to own understanding your may not you depend.
6 तेरा सबै मार्गमा उहाँलाई उहाँलाई सम्झी र उहाँले तेरा मार्गहरू सोझा तुल्याउने हुनेछ ।
In all ways your acknowledge him and he he will make straight paths your.
7 तेरो आफ्नै दृष्टिमा बुद्धिमान् नबन् । परमप्रभुको भय मान्, र खराबीबाट फर्की ।
May not you be wise in own eyes your fear Yahweh and turn aside from evil.
8 यो तेरो शरीरको लागि चङ्गाइ हुने छ, र तेरो देहको लागि ताजापन हुने छ ।
Healing may it be to navel your and refreshment to bones your.
9 तेरो धन-सम्पत्ति र तेरा सबै उब्जनीको अगौटे-फलले परमप्रभुको आदर गर् ।
Honor Yahweh from wealth your and from [the] first of all produce your.
10 तब तेरा भन्डार कोठाहरू भरिने छन्, र तेरा भाँडाकुँडाहरू नयाँ दाखमद्यले चुलिएर पोखिने छन् ।
So they may be filled storehouses your plenty and new wine wine vats your they will burst open.
11 हे मेरो छोरो, परमप्रभुको निर्देशनलाई तुच्छ नठान्, र उहाँको हप्कीलाई घृणा नगर् ।
[the] discipline of Yahweh O son my may not you reject and may not you loath rebuke his.
12 किनकि परमप्रभुले प्रेम गर्नुहुनेहरूलाई नै उहाँले अनुशासनमा राख्नुहुन्छ, जस्तो बुबालाई खुसी पार्ने छोरोलाई बुबाले व्यवहार गर्छ ।
For [the one] whom he loves Yahweh he reproves and like a father a son [whom] he is pleased with.
13 बुद्धि प्राप्त गर्ने धन्यको हो । त्यसले समझशक्ति पनि पाउँछ ।
How blessed! [is] a person [who] he finds wisdom and a person [who] he obtains understanding.
14 तैँले बुद्धिबाट प्राप्त गर्ने कुरो चाँदीबाट प्राप्त गर्ने कुरोभन्दा उत्तम हुन्छ, र यसको लाभ सुनभन्दा उत्तम हुन्छ ।
For [is] good profit her more than [the] profit of silver and more than gold gain her.
15 बुद्धि गरगहनाभन्दा बहुमूल्य हुन्छ, र तैँले इच्छा गरेको कुनै पनि थोक त्यससित तुलना गर्न सकिँदैन ।
[is] precious She (more than jewels *Q(k)*) and all pleasures your not they compare with her.
16 बुद्धिको दाहिने हातमा दीर्घायु हुन्छ भने त्यसको देब्रे हातमा धन-सम्पत्ति र मान हुन्छन् ।
Length of days [is] in right [hand] her [are] in left [hand] her wealth and honor.
17 त्यसको मार्ग दयाको मार्ग हो, र त्यसका सबै बाटा शान्तिका छन् ।
Ways her [are] ways of kindness and all pathways her [are] well-being.
18 बुद्धिलाई पक्रनेहरूका लागि त्यो जीवनको रुख हो, र त्यसलाई समात्नेहरू खुसी हुन्छन् ।
[is] a tree of Life she to [those who] take hold on her and [those who] hold fast to her [are] called blessed.
19 बुद्धिले नै परमप्रभुले पृथ्वी बनाउनुभयो र समझशक्तिले उहाँले आकाशहरू स्थापना गर्नुभयो ।
Yahweh by wisdom he founded [the] earth he established [the] heavens by understanding.
20 उहाँको ज्ञानद्वारा गहिरा-गहिरा सागरहरू फुटेर निस्के, र बादलले तलतिर शीत झारे ।
By knowledge his [the] depths they were split open and clouds they dripped dew.
21 हे मेरो छोरो, पक्का बुद्धि र समझशक्तिलाई जोगाइराख्, अनि तिनलाई तेरो नजरबाट जान नदे ।
O son my may not they depart from eyes your keep sound wisdom and discretion.
22 ती तेरो प्राणको निम्ति जीवन हुने छन्, र तेरो गलाको वरिपरि लगाउने स्नेहको गहना हुने छन् ।
So they may be life for self your and grace for neck your.
23 तब तँ आफ्नो मार्गमा सुरक्षितसाथ हिँड्ने छस्, र तेरो खुट्टा ठोक्किने छैन ।
Then you will walk to security way your and foot your not it will strike.
24 तँ पल्टँदा डराउने छैनस् । तँ पल्टँदा तँलाई मिठो निद्रा लाग्ने छ ।
If you will lie down not you will fear and you will lie down and it will be pleasing sleep your.
25 दुष्टहरूबाट अकस्मात् आउने त्रास वा विपत्तिदेखि नडरा ।
May not you be afraid from terror suddenly and from [the] devastation of wicked [people] that it will come.
26 किनकि परमप्रभु तेरो पक्षमा हुनुहुने छ, र उहाँले तेरो पाउलाई पासोमा पर्नदेखि जोगाउनुहुने छ ।
For Yahweh he will be confidence your and he will keep foot your from capture.
27 तँ शक्तिमा रहुञ्जेलसम्म भलाइ गरिन योग्य भएकाहरूबाट त्यसलाई नरोक् ।
May not you withhold good from owners its when belongs to [the] power of (hand your *Q(K)*) to do [it].
28 तँसित रुपियाँ-पैसा हुँदा आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई यसो नभन्, “जाऊ, र फेरि आऊ अनि म भोली दिने छु ।”
May not you say (to neighbor your *Q(K)*) go and come back and tomorrow I will give [it] and there is with you.
29 तेरो नजिकै बस्ने र तँमाथि भर पर्ने आफ्नो छिमेकीको हानि गर्ने योजना नबना ।
May not you devise on neighbor your harm and he [is] dwelling to security with you.
30 तँलाई कसैले हानि नपुर्याउँदा विनाकारण त्यससित तर्क-वितर्क नगर् ।
May not (you contend *Q(k)*) with anyone without cause if not he has dealt out to you evil.
31 हिंसात्मक व्यक्तिको ईर्ष्या नगर् वा त्यसको कुनै पनि मार्गलाई नछान् ।
May not you be jealous of a person of violence and may not you choose all ways his.
32 किनकि कुटिल व्यक्ति परमप्रभुको लागि घृणित हुन्छ, तर सोझो व्यक्तिलाई उहाँले आफ्नो विश्वासमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh a crooked [person] and [is] with upright [people] intimacy his.
33 दुष्टहरूको घरमा परमप्रभुको सराप पर्छ, तर धर्मीहरूको घरमा उहाँको आशिष् पर्छ ।
[the] curse of Yahweh [is] on [the] house of [the] wicked and [the] habitation of righteous [people] he blesses.
34 उहाँले गिल्ला गर्नेहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्नुहुन्छ, तर विनम्र मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले आफ्नो स्नेह देखाउनुहुन्छ ।
Though mockers he he mocks (and to humble [people] *Q(K)*) he gives favor.
35 बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू आदरको हकदार हुने छन्, तर मूर्खहरू तिनीहरूकै लाजमा पर्ने छन् ।
Honor wise [people] they will inherit and fools [is] lifting up shame.
