1My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you.
1Ka capa, ka thuih ih loknawk hae pakuem ah, kang paek ih loknawk to palung thungah suem ah.
2Keep my commandments and live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
2Kang paek ih loknawk to pakuemh loe, hing haih ah; kang patuk ih lok to na mikmu baktiah suem ah.
3Tie them to your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
3Na banpazung nuiah komh loe, na palung thungah tarik ah.
4Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your kinsman,
4Palunghahaih khaeah, Nang loe ka tanuh baktiah na oh, tiah thui ah loe, panoekhaih khaeah, Nang loe ka canawk baktiah na oh, tiah thui ah;
5that they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words.
5to tiah na sak nahaeloe zaehaih sak koeh nongpata, minawk zoek thaih nongpata ban thung hoiah na pakaa tih.
6For at the window of my house I looked through the lattice.
6Ka im thokbuem hoi ka khet naah ka hnuk ih hmuen loe,
7I saw among the simple, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking judgment,
7poekhaih tawn ai kami rumramnawk thungah ka khet naah, thendoengnawk thungah, poekhaih tawn ai thendoeng maeto ka hnuk.
8crossing the street near her corner, strolling down the road to her house,
8To kami loe nongpata ohhaih loklam im takii bang hoiah to nongpata ohhaih im bangah a caeh,
9at twilight, as the day was fading into the dark of the night.
9Duembang khoving, khoving qum taning tue phak naah loe,
10Then a woman came out to meet him, with the attire of a harlot and cunning of heart.
10khenah, tangzat zaw khukbuen angkhuk, minawk kazoek thaih nongpata loe anih hnuk hanah angzoh.
11She is loud and defiant; her feet do not remain at home.
11To nongpata loe palungthah moe, lok doeh ho parai; anih loe angmah ih im ah doeh om vai ai.
12Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.
12Anih loe tasa bangah tacawt moe, kami angpophaih loklam, lam takii kruekah minawk to a zing.
13She seizes him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him:
13To nongpata mah anih to naeh moe, a mok; azathaih mikhmai tawn ai ah anih khaeah,
14“I have made my peace offerings; today I have paid my vows.
14misa angdaeh angbawnhaih sak han ka tawnh; vaihniah lokkamhaih ka koepsak boeh.
15So I came out to meet you; I sought you, and I have found you.
15To pongah nang hnuk hanah kang zoh, palung tang hoi nang to kang pakrong, vaihi loe kang hnuk boeh.
16I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linen from Egypt.
16Rong congca kaom Izip prae ih, puu kahni hoiah ka iihhaih ahmuen to ka khuk het boeh.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.
17Hmuihoih tui myrrh, aloe, cinnamon hoiah iihkhun to ka bawh boeh.
18Come, let us take our fill of love till morning. Let us delight in loving caresses!
18Angzo ah, khawnbang khodai khoek to amlunghaih hoiah angkom hoi si; amlunghaih hoiah kanawm acaeng hoi si!
19For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.
19Ka sava loe im ah om ai, angthla parai kholong ah a caeh ving.
20He took with him a bag of money and will not return till the moon is full.”
20Anih loe phoisa tabu koi mongah phoisa to pacaeng pongah, khrah akoep ai karoek to im ah amlaem mak ai, tiah a naa.
21With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.
21Lokthuih kophaih hoiah anih to a zoek moe, kanaem lok hoiah anih to pazawk.
22He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap,
22Anih loe boh hanah hoih ih maitaw, thaang kacawh tasuk baktiah to nongpata hnukah bang roep;
23until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare— not knowing it will cost him his life.
23anih loe panoekhaih tamsi pongah, palaa mah anih ih pathin to kaat ai karoek to, dongh pongah kaman tavaa baktiah a hinghaih to boengsak.
24Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
24To pongah ka caanawk, ka lok to tahngai oh loe, ka thuih ih lok to pakuem oh.
25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths.
25To nongpata hnukah na poekhaih caeh o sak hmah loe, to nongpata ih loklam doeh pazui o hmah.
26For she has brought many down to death; her slain are many in number.
26Anih mah kami paroeai amtimsak boeh; ue, paroeai thacak kaminawk doeh anih mah hum boeh.
27Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.
27Anih ih im loe hell caehhaih manglai lam ah oh moe, duekhaih imthung ah akun tathuk.
