Palungha Lok 19
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Lok kangkoih ah apae thaih kamthu pongah loe, toenghaih loklam pazui amtang kami to hoih kue.
1Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a fool whose lips are perverse.
2Kahoih ai poekhaih loe, panoekhaih tawn ai; tawt hoi khok takan kami loe loklam caeh pazae.
2Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark.
3Kami amthuhaih mah a caehhaih loklam to amkhraengsak moe, palung thung hoiah Angraeng to kasae a thuih.
3A man’s own folly subverts his way, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
4Hmuenmae angraeng kami loe ampui tawnh mang; toe kamtang loe a imtaeng kami mah doeh caehtaak.
4Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
5Amsoem ai hmuen hnukung ah om kami loe danpaek ai ah om mak ai; amsawnlok thui kami doeh loih mak ai.
5A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.
6Pop parai kaminawk loe ukkung palung anghoehaih to sak hanah koeh o; tangqum paek thaih kami loe kami boih hoiah ampui ah oh.
6Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
7Amtang kami loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah doeh hnukma o; angmah ih ampuinawk mah cae loe kawkruk maw ayae o taak tih! Anih loe tahmenhaih hnik hanah nihcae hnukah patom, toe nihcae mah anghmat o taak boih.
7All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
8Palunghahaih tawn kami loe a hinghaih to palung; panoekhaih amtuk kami loe khosak hoihaih to hnu tih.
8He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.
9Amsoem ai hmuen hnukungah om kami loe danpaek ai ah om mak ai; amsawnlok thui kami loe amro tih.
9A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.
10Kamthu loe kahnaep ah khosak han krah ai; tamna mah angraengnawk uk hanah krah ai.
10Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11Palungha kami loe palungphuihaih to pauep thaih; minawk sakpazaehaih tahmen kami loe lensawkhaih to tawnh.
11A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
12Siangpahrang palungphuihaih loe kahang kaipui baktiah oh moe, anih hoihhaih loe phroh nui ih dantui baktiah oh.
12A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13Caa kamthu loe ampa amrohaih ah oh, angzoeh koeh zu loe apet ai ah kaca tui baktiah oh.
13A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
14Im hoi hmuenmae loe ampa ih qawk ah oh; toe palungha zu loe Angraeng khae hoi hak ih qawk ni.
14Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15Thasae kami loe iih sawk, thasae kami pakhra loe zok amthlam tih.
15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
16Thuitaekhaih lok tahngai kami loe hinglung sawk; toe a caehhaih loklam patoek kami loe dueh tih.
16He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
17Amtang khenzawn kami loe Angraeng hanah hmuen coi pae baktiah ni oh; anih loe a sak ih hmuen baktiah atho hnu let tih.
17Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
18Thuitaek thaih koiah oh naah, na caa to thuitaek ah; anih qahhaih to tahmen hmah.
18Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.
19Palungphui kami loe danpaekhaih to hnu tih; anih to na pahlong nahaeloe, anih to na pahlong tuektuek han angai tih.
19A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.
20Thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai ah loe, patukhaih lok to talawk ah, to tiah nahaeloe atue boeng naah palung na ha tih.
20Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.
21Kami ih palung thungah sak atimhaih oh mangh; toe Angraeng khokhanhaih mah ni sak atimhaih to caksak tih.
21Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
22Boeng thai ai amlunghaih loe kami mah koeh ih hmuen ah oh; amtang kami loe lok amlai kami pongah hoih kue.
22The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
23Angraeng zithaih loe hinghaih ah oh; to tiah poekhaih tawn kami loe koehhaih to acung tih; raihaih tidoeh tongh mak ai.
23The fear of the LORD leads to life, that one may rest content, without visitation from harm.
24Thasae kami loe saoek nui hoiah a ban to azuh moe, buh abah han mataeng doeh paqak.
24The slacker buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25Minawk tiah doeh sah ai kami to danpaek ah, poekhaih tawn ai kami to palungha lat tih; khopoek thaih kami to zoeh ah, palungha aep tih.
25Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
26Ampa ih hmuenmae to pasaengh boih moe, amno to haek kami loe, azathaih paek capa, kasaethuihaih tongsak capa ah oh.
26He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
27Ka capa, thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai ai ah na oh nahaeloe, thuitaek ih panoekhaih loknawk hoiah nam khraeng ving tih.
27If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28Lok amlai kami han hnukungah om kami loe, katoengah lokcaekhaih tiah doeh sah ai kami ah oh; kahoih ai kami loe kahoih ai hmuen to kakhraem caaknaek baktiah a caak.
28A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
29Kami tiah doeh sah ai kami hanah danpaekhaih to oh, kamthu hanah loe bohhaih to oh.
29Judgments are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
