1My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;
1Ka capa, kang patukhaih lok hae pahnet hmah, kang paek ih lok hae palung thungah pakuem ah;
2for they will add length to your days, years and peace to your life.
2nang hanah hing sawkhaih hoi monghaih na paek tih.
3Never let loving devotion or faithfulness leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
3Tahmenhaih hoi loktang to caeh taak hmah; nangmah ih tahnong ah a oih ah loe, na palung cabu pongah tarik ah:
4Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man.
4to tih nahaeloe Sithaw hmaa hoi kami hmaa ah mikhmai hnu ueloe, ahmin hoihaih na hnu tih.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
5Na palungthin boih hoi Angraeng oephaih to tawn ah; na panoekhaih pongah amha hmah.
6in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
6Na caehhaih loklam kruekah anih to panoek ah, to tih nahaeloe na caehhaih loklam na hnusak tih.
7Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
7Na mikhnuk ah palungha baktiah om hmah; Angraeng to zii ah loe, hmuensae to caeh taak ah.
8This will bring healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.
8To tih nahaeloe na thaquinawk ngantui o ueloe, na huhnawk doeh thacak o tih.
9Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your harvest;
9Na tawnh ih hmuen, thingthai tangsuek hoiah Angraeng to pakoeh ah:
10then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
10to tiah na sak nahaeloe nang ih tapupnawk cang hoiah koi amthlai o ueloe, misurtui suekhaih muroihnawk doeh misurtui kangtha hoiah koi amthlai o tih.
11My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, and do not loathe His rebuke;
11Ka capa, Angraeng thuitaekhaih to patoek hmah; ang zoehhaih lok pongah doeh palung naa hmah:
12for the LORD disciplines the one He loves, as does a father the son in whom he delights.
12palung ih capa loe ampa mah thuitaek baktih toengah, Angraeng mah palung ih kami loe thuitaek ah oh.
13Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,
13Palunghahaih pakrong moe, panoekhaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
14for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold.
14Palunghahaih loe sumkanglung pongah atho oh kue moe, sui pongah doeh hoih kue.
15She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her.
15Atho kaom thlung kathim pongah doeh atho nat kue, na koeh ih hmuennawk boih hoiah doeh patah thai ai.
16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
16A bantang bangah hingsawkhaih to a suek, banqoi bangah loe angraenghaih hoi khingyahaih to a suek.
17All her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.
17Palunghahaih loklam loe nawm moe, a caehhaih loklamnawk boih ah monghaih to oh.
18She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who lay hold of her are blessed.
18Palunghahaih loe palunghahaih patawn kami hanah hinghaih thingkung ah oh; palunghahaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
19The LORD founded the earth by wisdom and established the heavens by understanding.
19Angraeng mah long hae palunghahaih hoiah ni sak; vannawk doeh panoekhaih hoiah a suek.
20By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open, and the clouds dripped with dew.
20Kathuk parai tuipuinawk to a palunghahaih hoiah tapraek moe, tamai thung hoiah dantuinawk to a kraksak.
21My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.
21Ka capa, palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih to na hmaa hoiah amkhraengsak ving hmah; pakuem poe ah.
22They will be life to your soul and adornment to your neck.
22To tiah na sak nahaeloe na pakhra hinghaih ah om ueloe, na tahnong kranghoihaih bungmu ah om tih.
23Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
23Kholong caeh naah raihaih na tawn mak ai; khok doeh na pathuih mak ai.
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
24Na iih naah zithaih na tawn mak ai; ue, kahnaep ah na iip thai tih.
25Do not fear sudden danger or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
25Tasoehhaih na tawn mak ai, kahoih ai kaminawk mah parohaih doeh na tong mak ai.
26for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from the snare.
26Angraeng loe nam haahaih ah om ueloe, dongh pongah amanh han ai ah na khoknawk to patawn tih.
27Do not withhold good from the deserving when it is within your power to act.
27Na ban ah sakthaihaih na tawnh naah, kahoih hmuen sak pae han krak, tiah na poek ih kami nuiah kahoih hmuen to sah ai ah om hmah.
28Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”— when you already have the means.
28Na imtaeng kami han paek koi hmuen na tawnh, toe anih khaeah vaihi loe amlaem raeh, khawnbang nang zoh let naah kang paek han hmang, tiah thui hmah.
29Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he trustfully dwells beside you.
29Nang oephaih hoiah khosah na imtaeng kami khaeah, kasae sak han atim hmah.
30Do not accuse a man without cause, when he has done you no harm.
30Na nuiah sethaih sah ai kami to, tidoeh na ai ah zoeh hmah.
31Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways;
31Pacaekthlaek kami ih hmuen to ut hmah loe, a caehhaih loklam to awt hmah.
32for the LORD detests the perverse, but He is a friend to the upright.
32Poek angkawnh kaminawk loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe poektoeng kaminawk loe angmah hoi nawnto angkomhaih to a sak.
33The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the righteous.
33Angraeng tangoenghaih loe kahoih ai kaminawk imthung ah phak, toe katoeng kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen loe Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek.
34He mocks the mockers, but gives grace to the humble.
34Minawk pahnui thuih kami to anih mah pahnui thuih toeng, toe kami tlim ah khosah kaminawk khaeah loe tahmenhaih to a paek.
35The wise will inherit honor, but fools are held up to shame.
35Palungha kaminawk loe lensawkhaih to toepsak; toe amthu kaminawk loe azatsak.
