Palungha Lok 16
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Kami mah a poekhaih hoiah khokhan, toe lok pathimhaih loe Angraeng khae hoiah ni angzoh.
1The preparations of the heart are man's, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
2Kami mah loe a caehhaih loklam to katoeng boih ah poek; toe Angraeng mah loe palungthin to khingh.
2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3Na sak ih hmuen kruekah Angraeng khaeah amha ah; to tih nahaeloe nam sakhaih hmacawn tih.
3Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4Angraeng mah hmuennawk boih angmah hanah ni sak; ue, kasae kaminawk loe sethaih ani to tong hanah ohsak.
4The LORD hath made every things for His own purpose, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5Amoek kaminawk loe Sithaw mah panuet; nihcae loe nawnto amhong o cadoeh, danpaekhaih to loih o mak ai.
5Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; my hand upon it! he shall not be unpunished.
6Palungnathaih hoi loktang mah zaehaih to ciimsak; Sithaw zii kami loe zaehaih to caeh taak.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is expiated; and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7Kami mah Angraeng anghoe koiah khosak naah, a misa hoiah mataeng doeh angdaeh thaih.
7When a man's ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Katoeng ai loklam hoiah hmuenmae pop ah hak pongah loe, toenghaih hoiah hmuenmae zetta hak to hoih kue.
8Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.
9Kami mah a caehhaih loklam to poek; toe a caehhaih loklam to Angraeng mah patuek.
9A man's heart deviseth his way; but the LORD directeth his steps.
10Sithaw mah thuih ih lok to siangpahrang ih pakha ah oh; anih ih pakha hoiah katoeng ai lok to tacawt han om ai.
10A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; his mouth trespasseth not in judgment.
11Katoeng hmuenzit tahhaih hoi coi tahhaih loe Angraeng ih hmuen ah oh; pasah thung ih kazit hmuen tahhaih boih loe anih mah sak ih hmuen ah oh.
11A just balance and scales are the LORD'S; all the weights of the bag are His work.
12Angraeng tangkhang loe toenghaih hoiah sak pongah, kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih loe siangpahrangnawk hanah panuet thoh.
12It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; for the throne is established by righteousness.
13Katoeng kami ih pahni to siangpahrangnawk mah anghoe o haih; loktang lokthui kami to palung o.
13Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14Siangpahrang palungphuihaih loe duekhaih laicaeh baktiah oh; toe palungha kami loe palungphuihaih to dipsak.
14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death; but a wise man will pacify it.
15Siangpahrang mikhmai pan naah hinghaih to oh; anih anghoehaih loe hnukkhuem ih khotui baktiah oh.
15In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16Sui pongah loe palunghahaih to hoih kue; sumkanglung qoih pongah loe palunghahaih qoih to kawkruk maw hoih!
16How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
17Kahoih ai hmuen caehtaakhaih loe katoeng kami ih loklam ah oh; a caehhaih loklam hoi amkhraeng ai kami loe a hinghaih angvaeng thaih kami ah oh.
17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18Amoekhaih loe amrohaih ih loklam ni; poeksanghaih mah amtimhaih loklam ah caeh haih.
18Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19Kamoek kami hoi angkom moe, a lomh ih hmuen to amzet pongah loe, palungsawk kami hoi angkom moe, kami tlim ah khosak to hoih kue.
19Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the humble, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20Palunghahaih hoi toksah kami loe khosak hoih tih; Angraeng oephaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
20He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21Poekhaih palungha kami loe khopoek thaih kami ah oh; kahoih lokthui thaih pahni loe minawk han palunghahaih lok to patuk thaih.
21The wise in heart is called a man of discernment; and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22Palunghahaih tawn kami loe hinghaih tuipuek ah oh; toe kamthu thuitaekhaih lok loe amthuhaih ah ni oh.
22Understanding is a fountain of life unto him that hath it; but folly is the chastisement of fools.
23Palungha ih palungthin loe angmah ih pakha to thuitaek moe, a pahni ah palunghahaih to thap pae.
23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24Tahngai kahoih loknawk loe khoitui baktiah oh; na hinghaih pakhra hanah luep moe, huhong to ngantuisak.
24Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25Kami maeto hanah loe katoeng loklam maeto baktiah amtueng; toe boenghaih ah loe duekhaih loklam ah oh.
25There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26Toksah kami loe, angmah ih pakha pacah han ih ni tok to a sak.
26The hunger of the labouring man laboureth for him; for his mouth compelleth him.
27Sithaw panoek ai kami loe kahoih ai hmuen to poek, a thuih ih lok doeh kangqong hmai baktiah ni oh.
27An ungodly man diggeth up evil, and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28Poektoeng ai kami loe angzoehhaih atii to a haeh; pronghaih mah ampui kangzong to ampraeksak.
28A froward man soweth strife; and a whisperer separateth familiar friends.
29Poeksae kami loe a imtaeng kami to pacuek moe, kahoih ai loklam to pazuisak.
29A man of violence enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into a way that is not good.
30Kahoih ai kami loe kasae hmuen sak hanah, a mik to pasimh moe, kahoih ai hmuen angcoengsak hanah, pahni to haehsak.
30He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise froward things; he that biteth his lips bringeth evil to pass.
31Toenghaih loklam ah khosak pongah sam to pok nahaeloe, lensawkhaih lumuek ah ni oh.
31The hoary head is a crown of glory, it is found in the way of righteousness.
32Palungsawk kami loe thacak kami pongah hoih kue; poekhaih angsum thaih kami loe vangpui pazawk kami pongah hoih kue.
32He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33Taham khethaih phoisa vahhaih hoiah sak ih lok takroekhaih loe aimacae mah ni sak o; toe hmuen boih nuiah lok takroekkung loe Angraeng ni.
33The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
