< Proverbs 15 >

1 A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.
विनम्र जवाफले क्रोधलाई हटाउँछ, तर कठोर वचनले रिस उठाउँछ ।
2 The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूको जिब्रोले ज्ञानको तारिफ गर्छ, तर मूर्खहरूको मुखले मूर्खता खन्याउँछ ।
3 The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.
परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टि जताततै छ । उहाँले दुष्‍ट र असलमाथि नजर लगाउनुहुन्छ ।
4 A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
निको पार्ने जिब्रो जीवनको रुख हो, तर छलपूर्ण जिब्रोले आत्मालाई चोट पुर्‍याउँछ ।
5 A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
मूर्खले आफ्नो बुबाको अर्तीलाई हेला गर्छ, तर सुधारबाट सिक्‍नेचाहिँ विवेकशील हो ।
6 The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
धर्मात्माको घरमा ठुलो खजाना हुन्छ, तर दुष्‍ट मानिसको कमाइले त्यसलाई कष्‍ट दिन्छ ।
7 The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूको ओठले चारैतिर ज्ञान फैलाउँछ, तर मूर्खहरूको हृदय त्यस्तो हुँदैन ।
8 The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
परमप्रभुले दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूको बलिदानलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर धर्मी मानिसहरूको प्रार्थना उहाँको आनन्द हो ।
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
परमप्रभुले दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूको मार्गलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर ठिक कुराको पछि लाग्‍नेलाई उहाँले प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ ।
10 Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
कठोर अनुशासनले आफ्नो बाटो त्याग्‍नेको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ, र सुधारलाई घृणा गर्नेचाहिँ मर्ने छ ।
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
पाताल र विनाश परमप्रभुको सामु खुला छन् भने मानिसको हृदय झन् कति खुला होला? (Sheol h7585)
12 A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
गिल्ला गर्ने सुधारदेखि अप्रसन्‍न हुन्छ । त्यो बुद्धिमान्‌कहाँ जाँदैन ।
13 A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief of mind the spirit is cast down.
आनन्दित हृदयले मुहारलाई हँसिलो बनाउँछ, तर हृदयको पिरले आत्मालाई चोट पुर्‍याउँछ ।
14 The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
विवेशकशीलहरूको हृदयले ज्ञानको खोजी गर्छ, तर मूर्खहरूको मुखले मूर्खता नै रुचाउँछ ।
15 All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.
थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूका सबै दिन दुःखद हुन्छन्, तर आनन्दित हृदयको सुखको अन्त्य हुँदैन ।
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,
भ्रमको साथ धेरै धन-सम्पत्ति हुनुभन्दा बरु परमप्रभुको भयको साथ थोरै हुनु उत्तम हो ।
17 It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
घृणा भएको ठाउँमा पुष्‍टाइएको बाछो खानुभन्दा बरु प्रेम भएको ठाउँमा सागसब्जी खानु उत्तम हो ।
18 A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient appeaseth those that are stirred up.
रिसाएको मानिसले तर्क-वितर्क गर्छ, तर रिसाउनमा धिमा व्यक्तिले झगडालाई शान्त पार्छ ।
19 The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.
अल्छेको बाटो काँढाको छेकबार भएको ठाउँझैँ हुन्छ, तर धर्मीको बाटो निर्मित लोकमार्ग हो ।
20 A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.
बुद्धिमान् छोरोले आफ्नो बुबालाई आनन्द दिन्छ, तर मूर्ख व्यक्तिले आफ्नी आमालाई तुच्छ ठान्छ ।
21 Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.
मूर्खताले बेसमझको मानिसलाई आनन्द दिन्छ, तर समझशक्ति भएको मानिस सिधा बाटोमा हिँड्छ ।
22 Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.
सरसल्लाह नहुँदा योजनाहरू गलत हुन्छन्, तर धेरै परामर्शदाताहरूद्वारा तिनीहरू सफल हुन्छन् ।
23 A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.
उचित जवाफ दिँदा मानिसले आनन्द पाउँछ । ठिक समयमा बोलिएको वचन कति असल हुन्छ!
24 The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
जीवनको मार्गले विवेकशील मानिसहरूलाई उँभोतिर लैजान्छ । यसले तिनीहरूलाई उँधो पातालतिर जानदेखि फर्काउँछ । (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.
परमप्रभुले अहङ्कारीको घर भत्काइदिनुहुन्छ, तर विधवाको सम्पत्तिको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
26 Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
परमप्रभुले दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूको विचारलाई घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर दयाका वचनहरू शुद्ध हुन्छन् ।
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.
चोरी गर्नेले आफ्नो परिवारमा सङ्कष्‍ट ल्याउँछ, तर घुसलाई घृणा गर्नेचाहिँ बाँच्ने छ ।
28 The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
जवाफ दिनुअगि धर्मात्माको हृदयले मनन गर्छ, तर दुष्‍ट मानिसको मुखले आफ्नो सबै खराबी ओकल्छ ।
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.
दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूबाट परमप्रभु निकै टाढा हुनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँले धर्मी मानिसहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.
आँखाको ज्योतिले हृदयमा आनन्द ल्याउँछ, र शुभ खबर शरीरको लागि स्वास्थ्य हो ।
31 The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.
कसरी जिउने भनी कसैले तिमीलाई सुधार गर्दा तिमीले ध्यान दियौ भने तिमी बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूका बिचमा रहने छौ ।
32 He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
अनुशासनलाई इन्कार गर्नेले आफैलाई तुच्छ ठान्छ, तर सुधारलाई ध्यान दिनेले समझशक्ति पाउँछ ।
33 The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
परमप्रभुको भयले बुद्धि सिकाउँछ, र आदरअगि विनम्रता आउँछ ।
