Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars.
1Cueihnah loh a im a sak tih a tung parhih a vueh.
2She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
2A maeh te a ngawn tih misurtui neh a thoek tih a caboei te a tawn.
3She has sent out her maidservants; she calls out from the heights of the city.
3Amah kah hula rhoek te a tueih tih, vangpuei hmuensang dangdoe lamkah a khue.
4“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment.
4Te phoeiah, “Unim hlangyoe, anih te lungbuei a talh khaw pahoi nong tak saeh.
5“Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have mixed.
5Halo, ka buh he ang uh lamtah misur ka thoek he o uh.
6Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.”
6Hlangyoe te hnoo lamtah hing uh, yakmingnah longpuei te uem uh.
7He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself.
7Hmuiyoi aka toel tah amah loh yah a poh tih, halang aka tluung tah amah loh nganboh a yook.
8Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
8Hmuiyoi te tluung boeh namah m'hmuhuet ve. Aka cueih tah na tluung cakhaw nang n'lungnah ni.
9Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.
9Aka cueih te pae lah taoe cueih ni, aka dueng te na tukkil atah rhingtuknah a thap ni.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
10BOEIPA hinyahnah tah cueihnah lamhma la om tih aka cim mingnah he yakmingnah la om.
11For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
11Kai rhangneh na khohnin te puh vetih nang hamla hingnah kum khaw a thap ni.
12If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage; but if you scoff, you alone will bear the consequences.
12Na cueih la na cueih mak atah namah ham ngawn ni. Hmui na yoih atah nang namah long ni na phueih eh.
13The woman named Folly is loud; she is naive and knows nothing.
13Angvawk nu loh a poeyoek la kawk tih bang khaw ming pawh.
14She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the heights of the city,
14Tedae a im thohka neh vangpuei hmuensang kah ngolkhoel dongah ngol.
15calling out to those who pass by, who make their paths straight.
15Te vaengah a caehlong a dueng la longpuei ah aka pongpa rhoek te a khue.
16“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment.
16“Hlangyoe neh lungbuei aka talh tah pahoi ha pah saeh.
17“Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is tasty!”
17A tui huen aka tui sak tih yinhnuk buh neh aka hmae,” a ti.
18But they do not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
18Tedae saelkhui laedil ah sairhai pahoi a khue pah te ming pawh.
