Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Imthung koi mongah sak ih angbawnhaih buh to angzoehhaih hoiah caak pongah loe, buh karoem zetta poek monghaih hoiah caak to hoih kue.
1Better is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife.
2Palungha tamna loe kahoih ai imkung ih capa to uk tih, anih loe a caanawk hoi nawnto qawk to toep tih.
2A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and shall divide the inheritance among the brethren.
3Sumkanglung tui pacii hanah laom to patoh baktih toengah, sui tui pacii hanah hmai kamngaeh to patoh; toe Angraeng loe kami ih palung to tanoem.
3As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts.
4Kahoih ai hmuen sah kami loe lok amlai kami mah thuih ih lok to tang; amsawnlok thui kami doeh loksae to tahngaih.
4The evil man obeyeth an unjust tongue: and the deceitful hearkeneth to lying lips.
5Mithoe hnaphnae kami loe anih Sahkung hnaphnae kami ah ni oh; minawk raihaih tong naah anghoe kami loe danpaekhaih to loih mak ai.
5He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his Maker; and he that rejoiceth at another man’s ruin, shall not be unpunished.
6Caanawk ih caa patoeng loe mitongnawk hanah sui lumuek ah oh, amno ampa loe caanawk lensawkhaih ah oh.
6Children’s children are the crown of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.
7Kahoih lok loe kamthu hoi amcuk ai baktih toengah, amsawnlok doeh ukkung angraeng hoi amcuk ai.
7Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince.
8Tangqum loe hak kami hanah atho kana thlung baktiah oh; a caehhaih ahmuen kruekah, tahamhoihaih oh.
8The expectation of him that expecteth, is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.
9Minawk zaehaih tahmen kami loe amlunghaih to pungsak; toe zaehaih tahmen ai kami loe ampui to ampraeksak.
9He that concealeth a transgression. seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
10Kamthu loe quiboeng hoi cumvaito boh cadoeh poek amkhrai mak ai; palungha loe thuitaekhaih lok to thaih kop.
10A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
11Kahoih ai kami loe lokaek han khue ni pakrong; to pongah tahmenhaih tawn ai laicaeh to anih khaeah patoeh tih.
11An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
12Palungkraeng kamthu khaeah caeh moe, raihaih tong pongah loe, taqom caa lomh pae to hoih kue.
12It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly.
13Hmuenhoih to hmuensae hoiah pathok kami loe, kahoih ai hmuen mah a im to caehtaak mak ai.
13He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14Angzoehhaih loe kamsah tui hoiah anghmong; to pongah angzoehhaih om ai naah to hmuen to toengh sut ah.
14The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: before he suffereth reproach he forsaketh judgment.
15Zaehaih sah kami to loisak lat kami, to tih ai boeh loe katoeng kami zaehaih net lat kami hnik to Angraeng mah panuet hmaek.
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God.
16Kamthu loe palunghahaih koeh ai pongah, kamthu ban ah paek ih phoisa loe tih atho maw oh?
16What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.
17Ampui loe amlunghaih tawnh poe; nawkamya loe karai tonghaih atue nathuem han ih ni tapen.
17He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress.
18Poekhaih tawn ai kami loe coi ih phoisa to pathok pae hanah, angmah ih ampui hmaa ah lokkamhaih to sak.
18A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend.
19Angzoeh koeh kami loe zae sakhaih doeh koeh; angmah ih khongkha amoek haih kami loe amrohaih ni pakrong.
19He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin.
20Poektoeng ai kami loe khosak hoihaih tawn ai; amsawnlok thui palai loe raihaih tongh.
20He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.
21Kamthu tapen kami loe tapenkung to palungsetsak; kamthu ih ampa loe anghoehaih tawn ai.
21A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool.
22Poeknawmhaih loe kahoih tasi ah oh; toe palungsethaih mah ahuh to zaeksak.
22A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones.
23Kasae kami loe toenghaih loklam angkawnsak hanah, bokhaih ah paek ih tangqum to lak.
23The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
24Palungha kami loe panoekhaih to tawnh; toe kamthu ih mik loe long boenghaih khoek to khet parui.
24Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
25Capa kamthu mah ampa palungsetsak, anih cunkung to palungboengsak.
25A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
26Katoeng kami to danpaek han hoih ai; toenghaih hoiah lokcaek angraeng doeh danpaek han om ai.
26It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.
27Palungha kami loe poek het pacoengah ni lok to thuih; panoekhaih tawn kami loe angam duem.
27He that setteth bounds to his words. is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.
28Lokpae ai ah om duem kami loe, kamthu mataeng doeh palungha kami ah poek o moe, palai angsum thaih kami doeh khopoek thaih kami ah poek o.
28Even a fool, if he will hold his peace shall be counted wise: and if he close his lips, a man of understanding.
