हितोपदेश 5
1 हे मेरो छोरो, मेरो बुद्धिमा ध्यान लगा । मेरो समझशक्तिमा कान थाप ।
My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ears to my understanding,
2 यसरी तैँले विवेकको विषयमा सिक्ने छस्, र तेरो ओठले ज्ञानको रक्षा गर्न सक्ने छ ।
so you may learn about discretion and your lips may protect knowledge.
3 किनकि व्यभिचारी स्त्रीको ओठबाट मह चुहन्छ, र त्यसको मुख तेलभन्दा पनि चिल्लो हुन्छ ।
For the lips of an adulteress drip with honey and her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 तर अन्त्यमा त्यो ऐरेलु जत्तिकै तितो हुन्छ, र दुईधारे तरवारजस्तै धारिलो हुन्छ ।
but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, cutting like a sharp sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps go all the way to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
6 त्यसले जीवनको मार्गको बारेमा सोच्दैन । त्यसका चालहरू भौँतारिन्छन् । कहाँ जाँदै छे भनी त्यसलाई थाहै हुँदैन ।
She gives no thought to the path of life. Her footsteps wander; she does not know where she is going.
7 अब हे मेरा छोराहरू हो, मेरो कुरा सुन । मेरो मुखका वचनहरू सुन्नदेखि नतर्क ।
Now, my sons, listen to me; do not turn away from listening to the words of my mouth.
8 तिमीहरूको मार्ग त्यसबाट परै राख, र त्यसको घरको ढोका नजिक नआओ ।
Keep your path far away from her and do not come near the door of her house.
9 यसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो इज्जत अरूलाई दिने छैनौ वा तिमीहरूको उमेर क्रुर व्यक्तिलाई दिने सुम्पने छैनौ ।
In that way you will not give away your honor to others or years of your life to a cruel person;
10 परदेशीहरूले तिमीहरूको धन-सम्पत्तिमा भोज लगाउने छैनन् । तिमीहरूले जेको लागि काम गरेका छौ, त्यो परदेशीहरूको घरमा जाने छैन ।
strangers will not feast on your wealth; what you have worked for will not go into the house of strangers.
11 तिमीहरूका मासु र छाला गलिसक्दा तिमीहरूको जीवनको अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूले विलाप गर्ने छौ ।
At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body waste away.
12 तिमीहरूले भन्ने छौ, “हाय, मैले निर्देशनलाई कसरी घृणा गरेँ, र मेरो हृदयले सुधारलाई तुच्छ ठान्यो!
You will say, “How I hated instruction and my heart despised correction!
13 मैले मेरा शिक्षकहरूको आज्ञा मानिनँ वा मेरा प्रशिक्षकहरूका कुरा सुन्न कान थापिनँ ।
I would not obey my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 सभाको बिचमा, मानिसहरूको जमघटमा म झण्डै पूर्ण रूपमा विनाश भएँ ।”
I was almost completely ruined in the midst of the assembly, among the gathering of the people.”
15 आफ्नै कुण्डको पानी पिउनू, र आफ्नै कुवाबाट बगेको पानी पिउनू ।
Drink water from your own cistern and drink running water from your own well.
16 के तेरो कुवाको पानी जताततै र तेरो खोलाको पानी सार्वजनिक चोकहरूमा बग्न दिने?
Should your springs overflow everywhere and your streams of water flow in the public squares?
17 ती तेरा लागि मात्र होऊन्, र तँसित भएका परदेशीहरूका लागि नहोऊन् ।
Let them be for yourself alone and not for strangers with you.
18 तेरो फुहाराले आशिष् पाओस्, र तेरो युवावस्थाकी पत्नीसित तँ आनन्दित भएको होस् ।
May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19 किनकि त्यो मायालु मृग र अनुग्रहमय हरिणझैँ छे । त्यसका स्तनहरूले तँलाई सधैँभरि सन्तुष्ट पारून् । त्यसको प्रेमद्वारा तँ निरन्तर रूपमा मोहित तुल्याइएको होस् ।
for she is a loving deer and a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you be continually intoxicated by her love.
20 हे मेरो छोरो, तँ किन व्यभिचारी स्त्रीद्वारा फसाइने? तैँले किन अनैतिक स्त्रीलाई अङ्गालो हाल्ने?
For why should you, my son, be captivated by an adulteress; why should you embrace the breasts of an immoral woman?
21 मानिसले गर्ने हरेक कुरो परमप्रभुले देख्नुहुन्छ, र त्यसका सबै मार्गलाई उहाँले निगरानी गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh sees everything a person does and watches all the paths he takes.
22 दुष्ट व्यक्ति आफ्नै अधर्मद्वारा पासोमा पर्ने छ । त्यसको पापका डोरीहरूले त्यसलाई कसेर बाँध्ने छ ।
A wicked person will be seized by his own iniquities; the cords of his sin will hold him tight.
23 निर्देशनको कमीले त्यो मर्ने छ । त्यसको असीम मूर्खताद्वारा त्यसले बाटो बिराउँछ ।
He will die because he lacks instruction; he is led astray by his great foolishness.
