Palungha Lok 17
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
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 quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.
2Palungha tamna loe kahoih ai imkung ih capa to uk tih, anih loe a caanawk hoi nawnto qawk to toep tih.
2A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
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.
3The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the hearts.
4Kahoih ai hmuen sah kami loe lok amlai kami mah thuih ih lok to tang; amsawnlok thui kami doeh loksae to tahngaih.
4An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
5Mithoe hnaphnae kami loe anih Sahkung hnaphnae kami ah ni oh; minawk raihaih tong naah anghoe kami loe danpaekhaih to loih mak ai.
5Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity 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; the glory of children is their parents.
7Kahoih lok loe kamthu hoi amcuk ai baktih toengah, amsawnlok doeh ukkung angraeng hoi amcuk ai.
7Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
8Tangqum loe hak kami hanah atho kana thlung baktiah oh; a caehhaih ahmuen kruekah, tahamhoihaih oh.
8A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.
9Minawk zaehaih tahmen kami loe amlunghaih to pungsak; toe zaehaih tahmen ai kami loe ampui to ampraeksak.
9He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
10Kamthu loe quiboeng hoi cumvaito boh cadoeh poek amkhrai mak ai; palungha loe thuitaekhaih lok to thaih kop.
10A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into 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 seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12Palungkraeng kamthu khaeah caeh moe, raihaih tong pongah loe, taqom caa lomh pae to hoih kue.
12Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13Hmuenhoih to hmuensae hoiah pathok kami loe, kahoih ai hmuen mah a im to caehtaak mak ai.
13Whoever rewards 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 strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
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 who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
16Kamthu loe palunghahaih koeh ai pongah, kamthu ban ah paek ih phoisa loe tih atho maw oh?
16Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
17Ampui loe amlunghaih tawnh poe; nawkamya loe karai tonghaih atue nathuem han ih ni tapen.
17A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
18Poekhaih tawn ai kami loe coi ih phoisa to pathok pae hanah, angmah ih ampui hmaa ah lokkamhaih to sak.
18A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
19Angzoeh koeh kami loe zae sakhaih doeh koeh; angmah ih khongkha amoek haih kami loe amrohaih ni pakrong.
19He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
20Poektoeng ai kami loe khosak hoihaih tawn ai; amsawnlok thui palai loe raihaih tongh.
20One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
21Kamthu tapen kami loe tapenkung to palungsetsak; kamthu ih ampa loe anghoehaih tawn ai.
21He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
22Poeknawmhaih loe kahoih tasi ah oh; toe palungsethaih mah ahuh to zaeksak.
22A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
23Kasae kami loe toenghaih loklam angkawnsak hanah, bokhaih ah paek ih tangqum to lak.
23A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
24Palungha kami loe panoekhaih to tawnh; toe kamthu ih mik loe long boenghaih khoek to khet parui.
24Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
25Capa kamthu mah ampa palungsetsak, anih cunkung to palungboengsak.
25A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
26Katoeng kami to danpaek han hoih ai; toenghaih hoiah lokcaek angraeng doeh danpaek han om ai.
26Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
27Palungha kami loe poek het pacoengah ni lok to thuih; panoekhaih tawn kami loe angam duem.
27He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
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, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
