हितोपदेश 5
1 हे मेरो छोरो, मेरो बुद्धिमा ध्यान लगा । मेरो समझशक्तिमा कान थाप ।
My son, listen carefully to some [more] wise things that I will tell you. Listen well to what I am going to teach you.
2 यसरी तैँले विवेकको विषयमा सिक्ने छस्, र तेरो ओठले ज्ञानको रक्षा गर्न सक्ने छ ।
If you do that, you will be able to choose wisely [what to do], and you will know [the right things] to say [MTY].
3 किनकि व्यभिचारी स्त्रीको ओठबाट मह चुहन्छ, र त्यसको मुख तेलभन्दा पनि चिल्लो हुन्छ ।
What an immoral woman says [to you may be] as sweet as honey, and sound smoother than olive oil [feels on your skin],
4 तर अन्त्यमा त्यो ऐरेलु जत्तिकै तितो हुन्छ, र दुईधारे तरवारजस्तै धारिलो हुन्छ ।
but the result [of being with her] will be bitter like gall and [injure you as badly], like being cut with a sharp two-edged sword.
If you go where she goes [MTY], you will go down to where the dead people are. Her steps will lead you straight to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
6 त्यसले जीवनको मार्गको बारेमा सोच्दैन । त्यसका चालहरू भौँतारिन्छन् । कहाँ जाँदै छे भनी त्यसलाई थाहै हुँदैन ।
She is not concerned about the roads that lead to a [long] life. She walks [down] a crooked path, and she does not realize [that she is on the wrong road].
7 अब हे मेरा छोराहरू हो, मेरो कुरा सुन । मेरो मुखका वचनहरू सुन्नदेखि नतर्क ।
So now, my sons, listen to me. (Never turn aside from/always remember) [LIT] what I am about to tell you.
8 तिमीहरूको मार्ग त्यसबाट परै राख, र त्यसको घरको ढोका नजिक नआओ ।
Run away from immoral women! Do not go near the doors of their houses!
9 यसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो इज्जत अरूलाई दिने छैनौ वा तिमीहरूको उमेर क्रुर व्यक्तिलाई दिने सुम्पने छैनौ ।
If you enter the home of one of them, you will lose your (self-respect/good reputation) and [that woman’s husband] will not act mercifully toward you; he will [kill you and] take everything that you have acquired during your life!
10 परदेशीहरूले तिमीहरूको धन-सम्पत्तिमा भोज लगाउने छैनन् । तिमीहरूले जेको लागि काम गरेका छौ, त्यो परदेशीहरूको घरमा जाने छैन ।
Foreigners will take your money, and [all] the good things that you have worked for will (end up in their hands/become their possessions).
11 तिमीहरूका मासु र छाला गलिसक्दा तिमीहरूको जीवनको अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूले विलाप गर्ने छौ ।
And when you are about to die, you will groan [with severe pain] because diseases [that you have gotten from being immoral] will be destroying your body.
12 तिमीहरूले भन्ने छौ, “हाय, मैले निर्देशनलाई कसरी घृणा गरेँ, र मेरो हृदयले सुधारलाई तुच्छ ठान्यो!
Then you will say, “I hated it [when people tried to] correct me. I despised [people when they] reproved/rebuked me.
13 मैले मेरा शिक्षकहरूको आज्ञा मानिनँ वा मेरा प्रशिक्षकहरूका कुरा सुन्न कान थापिनँ ।
I did not heed what my teachers said! I paid no attention to those who [tried to] teach me [something about my behavior].
14 सभाको बिचमा, मानिसहरूको जमघटमा म झण्डै पूर्ण रूपमा विनाश भएँ ।”
[Now] I am almost ruined, and I will be disgraced in public gatherings.”
15 आफ्नै कुण्डको पानी पिउनू, र आफ्नै कुवाबाट बगेको पानी पिउनू ।
Like a man is refreshed by drinking water from his own well [MET], enjoy [having sex] [EUP] only with your own wife.
16 के तेरो कुवाको पानी जताततै र तेरो खोलाको पानी सार्वजनिक चोकहरूमा बग्न दिने?
Like you would not waste good water by pouring it into the street, [you should not have sex with other women]. [MET, EUP]
17 ती तेरा लागि मात्र होऊन्, र तँसित भएका परदेशीहरूका लागि नहोऊन् ।
Enjoy [having sex] only with your wife; do not [have sex with] other women.
18 तेरो फुहाराले आशिष् पाओस्, र तेरो युवावस्थाकी पत्नीसित तँ आनन्दित भएको होस् ।
Let your wife be a source of great pleasure to you. (Be happy/[Enjoy sex]) with the woman whom you married when you were both young.
19 किनकि त्यो मायालु मृग र अनुग्रहमय हरिणझैँ छे । त्यसका स्तनहरूले तँलाई सधैँभरि सन्तुष्ट पारून् । त्यसको प्रेमद्वारा तँ निरन्तर रूपमा मोहित तुल्याइएको होस् ।
She is as pretty and graceful [as] a young female deer. Allow her breasts to always satisfy you. Allow her lovemaking to excite you.
20 हे मेरो छोरो, तँ किन व्यभिचारी स्त्रीद्वारा फसाइने? तैँले किन अनैतिक स्त्रीलाई अङ्गालो हाल्ने?
My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman! Do not fondle the breasts of another man’s wife!
21 मानिसले गर्ने हरेक कुरो परमप्रभुले देख्नुहुन्छ, र त्यसका सबै मार्गलाई उहाँले निगरानी गर्नुहुन्छ ।
[I say that] because Yahweh sees clearly everything that we do; he knows [where we are going on] the roads that we walk on.
22 दुष्ट व्यक्ति आफ्नै अधर्मद्वारा पासोमा पर्ने छ । त्यसको पापका डोरीहरूले त्यसलाई कसेर बाँध्ने छ ।
Evil men’s sinful desires hold them fast; their sins are [like] ropes that bind them.
23 निर्देशनको कमीले त्यो मर्ने छ । त्यसको असीम मूर्खताद्वारा त्यसले बाटो बिराउँछ ।
Evil men [will] die because they are unable to say “No” to their desires; they [will] (go astray/be lost) because of the foolish things that they do.
