Proverbs 13
1 A wise son is the doctrine of his father. But he who ridicules does not listen when he is reproved.
बुद्धिमान् छोरोले आफ्नो बुबाको अर्ती सुन्छ, तर गिल्ला गर्नेले हप्कीलाई सुन्दैन ।
2 From the fruit of his own mouth, a man shall be satisfied with good things. But the soul of betrayers is iniquity.
आफ्नो मुखको फलबाट मानिसले असल थोकहरूको भोग गर्दछ, तर विश्वासघातिको भोक हिंसाको लागि हुन्छ ।
3 Whoever guards his mouth guards his soul. But whoever gives no consideration to his speech shall experience misfortunes.

6 Justice guards the way of the innocent. But impiety undermines the sinner.
धार्मिकताले ती मानिसहरूको रक्षा गर्छ, जो आफ्नो मार्गमा दोषरहित छन्, तर दुष्टताले पाप गर्नेहरूलाई पल्टाइदिन्छ ।
7 One is like the rich, though he has nothing. And another is like the poor, though he has many riches.
कोही मानिस धनी भएजस्तो गर्छ, जब कि त्योसँग केही हुँदैन, र कसैले चाहिँ आफूसित भएको हरेक थोक दिन्छ, र पनि त्यो साँच्चै धनी हुन्छ ।
8 The redemption of a man’s life is his riches. But he who is poor cannot tolerate correction.

आशालाई स्थगित गरिँदा यसले हृदय छिया-छिया पार्छ, तर पुरा भएको तृष्णा जीवनको रुख हो ।
13 Whoever denounces something obligates himself for the future. But whoever fears a lesson shall turn away in peace. Deceitful souls wander into sins. The just are merciful and compassionate.
अर्तीलाई तुच्छ ठान्नेले आफैमा विनाश ल्याउँछ, तर आज्ञालाई आदर गर्नेलाई इनाम दिइने छ ।

बुद्धिमान् मानिसको शिक्षा जीवनको फुहारा हो, जसले तपाईंलाई मृत्युका जालहरूबाट जोगाउँछ ।
15 Good doctrine bestows grace. In the way of the contemptuous, there is a chasm.
असल अन्तर्दृष्टिले स्नेह प्राप्त गर्छ, तर विश्वासघातिको चाल कहिल्यै टुङ्गोमा आउँदैन ।
16 The discerning do everything with counsel. But whoever is senseless discloses his stupidity.

20 Whoever keeps step with the wise shall be wise. A friend of the foolish will become like them.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूसित हिँड र तिमी पनि बुद्धिमान् हुने छौ, तर मूर्खहरूको सङ्गत गर्नेले नोक्सानी भोग्ने छ ।
21 Evil pursues sinners. And good things shall be distributed to the just.
विपत्तिले पापीहरूलाई खेद्ने छ, तर धर्मी मानिसले भलाइको इनाम पाउने छ ।
