Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
1Ka ca, na hui ham rhi na khang tih kholong ham na kut na tum atah,
2if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
2Na ka dongkah olthui loh n'hlaeh coeng tih na ka dongkah olthui loh n'khaih.
3then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.
3Te te na saii dongah ka ca aw, na huul uh cakhaw na hui kah kut ah ni na pha hae. Te dongah cet, mawn lamtah na hui hloep laeh.
4Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
4Na mik te ih sak boeh, na mikkhu te ngam boeh.
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
5Kut dongkah kirhang bangla sayuep kut dongkah vaa bangla namah huul uh laeh.
6Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.
6Kolhnaw aw lunghi taengla cet lah, anih kah khosing ke hmu lamtah cueih van lah.
7Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,
7A taengah rhalboei khaw, rhoiboei khaw, aka taemrhai ham khaw om mai pawh.
8it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.
8Khohal ah a buh te a soepsoei tih cangah ah a caak te a yoep.
9How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
9Kolhnaw aw me hil nim na yalh vetih na ih lamloh me vaengah nim na thoh ve?
10A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
10Bet ih, bet ngam, kut poem bet neh na yalh.
11and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
11Te vaengah na khodaeng te aka cet paitai bangla, na tloelnah loh photling aka bai hlang bangla ha pawk ni.
12A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,
12Aka muen hlang neh boethae hlang tah a ka dongkah olhmaang nen ni a pongpa.
13winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.
13A mik neh a mikhip, a kho neh a thui, a kutdawn neh a thuinuet.
14With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.
14A lungbuei kah a calaak neh a tuetang takuem ah boethae bueng a paem tih, tingtoehnah neh hohmuhnah a khuen.
15Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery.
15Te dongah amah kah rhainah loh buengrhuet a thoeng thil vetih hoeihnah om kolla khaem pahoi ni.
16There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
16He parhuk he BOEIPA loh a thinah tih a hinglu dongah tueilaehkoi khuikah tueilaehkoi parhih tah.
17haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
17A honghi lai aka ludoeng kah a mik, ommongsitoe kah thii aka long sak kah a kut,
18a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,
18Boethae kopoek aka paem lungbuei, boethae dongla aka yong paitok kho,
19a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.
19A hong kah laipai loh laithae ol a sat tih pacaboeina lakli ah tingtoehnah la a khuen.
20My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
20Ka ca, na pa kah olpaek te kueinah lamtah na nu kah olkhueng phap sut boeh.
21Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.
21Na lungbuei ah rhawp hlaengtang lamtah na rhawn ah rhawp laikoeinah lah.
22When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.
22Na caeh vaengah nang m'mawt vetih na yalh vaengah nang te n'tawt ni, na haenghang vaengah nang n'lolmang puei ni.
23For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
23Olpaek tah hmaithoi ni, olkhueng khaw vangnah ni, thuituennah dongkah toelthamnah khaw hingnah longpuei ni.
24to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
24Huta thae taeng lamkah neh kholong nu ol hnal lamloh nang aka ngaithuen ham ni.
25Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
25A sakthen te na thinko nen khaw nai boeh, a mikkhu neh nang te n'hloih boel saeh.
26For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.
26Pumyoi nu tah buh hluem ham ni, tedae hlang yuu loh hinglu phutlo khaw a hoem.
27Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?
27Hlang kah a rhang dongah hmai a poep lalah a himbai te hoeh mahpawt a?
28Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
28Hlang pakhat te hmai-alh dongah a caeh lalah a kho te duih mahpawt a?
29So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
29A hui kah yuu te aka kun thil tih aka ben tah pakhat khaw hmil tangloeng mahpawh.
30Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger.
30A hinglu kah a lamlum dip sak hamla a huen atah hlanghuen te hlang loh hnoelrhoeng mahpawt a?
31Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house.
31A hmuh uh atah a pueh parhih la a sah saeh lamtah a im kah a boei a rhaeng te boeih a phai saeh.
32He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
32Lungbuei aka talh huta tah samphaih, a hinglu aka phae long ni te te a saii.
33Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.
33Tlohtat neh yah a dong vetih anih kokhahnah te hmata mahpawh.
34For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance.
34Phulohnah khohnin ah a va kah kosi neh thatlainah dongah lungma ti mahpawh.
35He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.
35A mikhmuh kah tlansum pakhat khaw khuen pah pawt vetih kapbaih yet cakhaw huem pah mahpawh.
