Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery.
1Thuitaek pacoengah doeh angmah ih tahnong amtaksak kami loe, hoih thai ai, amrohaih to tong roep tih.
2When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
2Katoeng kami ukhaih kaa tawnh naah, kaminawk anghoe o; toe kahoih ai kami mah uk naah loe kaminawk palungset o.
3A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
3Palunghahaih koeh kami loe ampa to anghoesak; toe tangzat zaw nongpata hoi angkom kami loe a tawnh ih hmuen to pasaeng boih.
4By justice a king brings stability to the land, but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it.
4Toenghaih hoiah prae uk siangpahrang loe prae to caksak; toe bokhaih tangqum paekhaih koeh kami loe a prae to amtimsak.
5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
5A imtaeng pakoeh kami loe angmah aman hanah palok payang kami ah oh.
6An evil man is caught by his own sin, but a righteous one sings and rejoices.
6Kasae kami loe a zaehaih pongah amanh; toe katoeng kami loe anghoehaih hoiah laa to sak.
7The righteous consider the cause of the poor, but the wicked have no regard for such concerns.
7Katoeng kami loe kamtangnawk hanah khopoek pae; toe kahoih ai kami loe tidoeh dawncang ai.
8Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger.
8Minawk khet patoek kami loe vangpui to hmai angqongsak; toe palungha kami loe palungphuihaih to dipsak.
9If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution.
9Palungha hoi kamthu loe lam nawnto a caeh hoi naah, kamthu loe palungphuihaih hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe pahnuihaih hoiah maw om cadoeh, monghaih roe tawn mak ai.
10Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.
10Minawk athii palong koeh kami loe katoeng kami to hnukma; toe katoeng kami loe minawk hinghaih to khet pae.
11A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.
11Kamthu loe a poekhaih to taphong boih; toe palungha kami loe atue pha ai karoek to angphat.
12If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked.
12Ukkung mah amsawnlok to tahngai nahaeloe, a toksah tamnanawk boih loe kasae kami ah ni oh o.
13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.
13Kamtang hoi aling thaih kami anghmonghaih loe hae tiah oh; Angraeng mah ni nihnik hanah mik aanghaih to paek hmaek.
14A king who judges the poor with fairness— his throne will be established forever.
14Siangpahrang mah kamtang to toenghaih hoiah lokcaek nahaeloe, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to cak poe tih.
15A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
15Thuitaekhaih cung mah palunghahaih to paek; toe prawt sut ih caa mah loe amno to ahmin setsak.
16When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.
16Kasae kami pung naah, zaehaih doeh pung; toe katoeng kami mah loe nihcae amtimhaih to hnuk.
17Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.
17Na caa to thuitaek ah, to tih nahaeloe anih mah poek monghaih to na paek tih; ue, anih mah poeknawmhaih to na paek tih.
18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the Law.
18Angzo han koi hmuen hnukhaih om ai ah loe kaminawk amro o; toe patuk ih lok pazui kami loe tahamhoih.
19A servant cannot be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not respond.
19Tamna loe kahoih lok khue hoi thuitaek han om ai; anih loe lok to thaih, toe thai ai baktiah om tih.
20Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
20Poek het ai ah karangah lok apae kami to na hnuk maw? To kami pongah loe kamthu to oepthoh kue.
21A servant pampered from his youth will bring grief in the end.
21Tamna to nawkta nathuem hoiah kahoih ah khetzawn nahaeloe, hnukkhuem ah angmah ih caa ah angcoeng tih.
22An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
22Palungphui thaih kami mah angzoehhaih to tacawtsak, poek amthueng kami loe zaehaih sak pop.
23A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.
23Amoekhaih mah kami to krahsak tathuk tih; toe kami tlim ah khosakhaih loe pakoehhaih ah oh.
24A partner to a thief hates his own soul; he receives the oath, but does not testify.
24Kamqu hoi amyok kami loe a hinghaih to hnukma; anih mah kasae thuihaih lok to thaih, toe taphong han zit.
25The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is set securely on high.
25Kami zithaih loe kami hanah patung ih dongh ah oh; toe Angraeng oep kami loe ngancuem tih.
26Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man receives justice from the LORD.
26Kami paroeai mah ukkung koehhaih to pakrong o; toe kami loe Angraeng khae hoiah ni toenghaih to hnuk.
27An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.
27Katoeng kami mah toeng ai kami to panuet; katoeng ai kami mah toenghaih hoi khosah kami to panuet toengh.
