Palungha Lok 19
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Lok kangkoih ah apae thaih kamthu pongah loe, toenghaih loklam pazui amtang kami to hoih kue.
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time.
2Kahoih ai poekhaih loe, panoekhaih tawn ai; tawt hoi khok takan kami loe loklam caeh pazae.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3Kami amthuhaih mah a caehhaih loklam to amkhraengsak moe, palung thung hoiah Angraeng to kasae a thuih.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4Hmuenmae angraeng kami loe ampui tawnh mang; toe kamtang loe a imtaeng kami mah doeh caehtaak.
4Wealth addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him.
5Amsoem ai hmuen hnukung ah om kami loe danpaek ai ah om mak ai; amsawnlok thui kami doeh loih mak ai.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall 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 will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
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 brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He that pursueth words, they turn against him.
8Palunghahaih tawn kami loe a hinghaih to palung; panoekhaih amtuk kami loe khosak hoihaih to hnu tih.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9Amsoem ai hmuen hnukungah om kami loe danpaek ai ah om mak ai; amsawnlok thui kami loe amro tih.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall perish.
10Kamthu loe kahnaep ah khosak han krah ai; tamna mah angraengnawk uk hanah krah ai.
10Luxury is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11Palungha kami loe palungphuihaih to pauep thaih; minawk sakpazaehaih tahmen kami loe lensawkhaih to tawnh.
11It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12Siangpahrang palungphuihaih loe kahang kaipui baktiah oh moe, anih hoihhaih loe phroh nui ih dantui baktiah oh.
12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13Caa kamthu loe ampa amrohaih ah oh, angzoeh koeh zu loe apet ai ah kaca tui baktiah oh.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14Im hoi hmuenmae loe ampa ih qawk ah oh; toe palungha zu loe Angraeng khae hoi hak ih qawk ni.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15Thasae kami loe iih sawk, thasae kami pakhra loe zok amthlam tih.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16Thuitaekhaih lok tahngai kami loe hinglung sawk; toe a caehhaih loklam patoek kami loe dueh tih.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall die.
17Amtang khenzawn kami loe Angraeng hanah hmuen coi pae baktiah ni oh; anih loe a sak ih hmuen baktiah atho hnu let tih.
17He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and his good deed will He repay unto him.
18Thuitaek thaih koiah oh naah, na caa to thuitaek ah; anih qahhaih to tahmen hmah.
18Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction.
19Palungphui kami loe danpaekhaih to hnu tih; anih to na pahlong nahaeloe, anih to na pahlong tuektuek han angai tih.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto.
20Thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai ah loe, patukhaih lok to talawk ah, to tiah nahaeloe atue boeng naah palung na ha tih.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21Kami ih palung thungah sak atimhaih oh mangh; toe Angraeng khokhanhaih mah ni sak atimhaih to caksak tih.
21There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22Boeng thai ai amlunghaih loe kami mah koeh ih hmuen ah oh; amtang kami loe lok amlai kami pongah hoih kue.
22The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better 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 tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil.
24Thasae kami loe saoek nui hoiah a ban to azuh moe, buh abah han mataeng doeh paqak.
24The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as 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.
25When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.
26Ampa ih hmuenmae to pasaengh boih moe, amno to haek kami loe, azathaih paek capa, kasaethuihaih tongsak capa ah oh.
26A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother.
27Ka capa, thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai ai ah na oh nahaeloe, thuitaek ih panoekhaih loknawk hoiah nam khraeng ving tih.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err 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.
28An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29Kami tiah doeh sah ai kami hanah danpaekhaih to oh, kamthu hanah loe bohhaih to oh.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
