Palungha Lok 18
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Minawk hoi angkom ai kami loe, angmah koehhaih to pazui moe, minawk lok takroekhaih aek thaih kami ah oh.
1He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, and snarlest against all sound wisdom.
2Kamthu loe palunghahaih nuiah anghoehaih tawn ai moe, angmah poekhaih nui khue ah ni anghoe.
2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.
3Kahoih ai kami angzoh naah, hnaphnaehaih to oh; ahmin sethaih oh naah, azathaih doeh oh.
3When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4Kami pakha thung hoi tacawt lok loe tuili baktiah thuk, toe palunghahaih loe tuibap baktiah puek.
4The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; a flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom.
5Lokcaek naah kahoih kami to sungsak hanah, kami kasae to angdoet haih han om ai.
5It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, so as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6Kamthu ih pahni mah angzoehhaih to tacawtsak, anih ih pakha hoiah angbohhaih to ohsak.
6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7Kamthu ih pakha loe angmah amrohaih ah oh moe, anih ih pahni loe a hinghaih pakhra amanhaih dongh baktiah oh.
7A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8Minawk kasaethuihaih lok loe ahmaa kana baktiah, kami ih zok thung khoek to akun tathuk.
8The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9Thasae kami loe hmuenmae tahmat thaih kami ih nawkamya ah oh.
9Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10Angraeng ih ahmin loe kacak abuephaih sipae ah oh; katoeng kami loe to imthung ah cawnh moe, to ah monghaih to hnuk.
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.
11Hmuenmae hoi angraeng kami loe angmah ih angraenghaih to vangpui kacak baktih, kasang parai sipae baktiah poek.
11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
12Amoekhaih mah amrohaih to phaksak; toe kami tlim ah khosakhaih loe pakoehhaih loklam tuhkung ah oh.
12Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.
13Lok tahngai hmaloe ai ah pathim ih lok loe, amthuhaih hoi azathaih ah oh.
13He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and confusion unto him.
14Kami ih palung mah ngannathaih to khaang thaih; toe palungsethaih loe kawbangmaw khaang thai tih?
14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?
15Khopoek thaih kami ih palung loe palunghahaih to tawnh; palungha kami ih naa mah loe palunghahaih to pakrong.
15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16Kami mah sin ih tangqum mah, kalen kaminawk hmaa ah caeh haih loklam to paawh pae.
16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17Angmah kawng thui hmaloe kami loe katoeng kami baktiah amtueng; toe a imtaeng kami to angzoh moe, anih ih akawng to thuih naah ni, katoeng hoi katoeng ai to amtueng.
17He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out.
18Tahamsae kahoih khethaih phoisa vahhaih mah lok angaekhaih to dipsak moe, lokaek thaih thacak kaminawk doeh pathlaeng thaih.
18The lot causeth strife to cease, and parteth asunder the contentious.
19Lok angaek thaih nawkamya loe pazawk hanah kacak vangpui tuk pongah doeh rai kue; nihnik lok angaekhaih loe misatoep kami ohhaih sipae hoiah anghmong.
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20Kami loe angmah ih pakha hoi tacawt thingthai to caa ueloe, zok amhah tih; a pahni hoi tacawt hmuen hoiah zok amhah tih.
20A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
21Palai loe duekhaih hoi hinghaih tha to tawnh; palai palung kaminawk loe palai ih athaih to caa o tih.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22Zu la kami loe kahoih hmuen to a hnuk moe, Angraeng koehhaih to a tongh.
22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a great good, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23Amtang kami loe tahmenhaih hnik thaih; toe angraeng loe lok kaham hoiah minawk ih lok to pathim.
23The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth impudently.
24Ampui kapop ah tawn kami loe angmah amrohaih ah oh; toe nawkamya pongah palung cak kue ampui doeh oh.
24There are friends that one hath to his own hurt; but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
