Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Haenawk loe Israel siangpahrang, David capa, Solomon ih palungha lok ah oh;
1These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,
2palungha lok mah palunghahaih, thuitaekhaih hoi kathuk lokhlongnawk panoekhaih to na paek tih;
2for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,
3thuitaek thaihaih, katoeng ah lokcaekhaih, kangvan ah lok takroekhaih to na hnu tih;
3and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.
4kami rumramnawk khaeah palunghahaih to paek ueloe, thendoeng mah panoekhaih hoi poek thaihaih to tawn tih.
4To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,
5Palungha kami loe lok tahngai ueloe, panoekhaih to pung tih; panoekhaih tawn kami loe palungha kami mah thuih ih lok to talawk tih;
5let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel
6palungha lok hoi patahhaih loknawk, palungha kami mah thuih ih palunghahaih lok hoi kathuk loknawk to panoek thai hanah,
6by understanding the proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7Sithaw zithaih loe palunghahaih takung ah oh; toe amthu mah loe palunghahaih hoi thuitaekhaih to patoek.
7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
8Ka capa, nam pa thuitaekhaih lok to tahngaih loe, nam no mah patukhaih to pahnawt sut hmah.
8Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
9To tiah thuitaekhaih hoi patukhaih loe na lu hanah apawk lumuek baktih, na tahnong hanah bungmu ah om tih.
9For they are a garland of grace on your head and a pendant around your neck.
10Ka capa, kami zaenawk mah na zoek cadoeh, nihcae ih lok to tahngai hmah.
10My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.
11Nihcae mah, Kaicae hnuk ah na bang ah, kami athii palong hanah zing si loe, zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk to angang si;
11If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause,
12nihcae to taprong baktih, tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk baktiah, kahing ah paaeh boih si;
12let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit.
13to tiah nahaeloe atho kana hmuenmae to a hnu o ueloe, aicae ih im doeh minawk khae hoi lomh ih hmuenmae hoiah koi tih;
13We will find all manner of precious goods; we will fill our houses with plunder.
14kaicae hoi nawnto taham khethaih phoisa to va ah; a hnuk o ih phoisa doeh kangvan ah amzet si, tiah na naa o cadoeh,
14Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—
15ka capa, nihcae hnukah bang hmah; nihcae caehhaih loklam ah caeh hmah:
15my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
16nihcae loe zaehaih sak hanah cawnh o moe, athii palong hanah angtawt rang o.
16For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
17Tavaa mah hnuk naah palok payang nahaeloe tih atho maw om tih!
17How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
18To baktih kaminawk loe angmacae athii long hanah zing o moe, angmacae hinghaih lak han ih ni angang o!
18But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.
19Amsoem ai ah hmuen hak koeh hmoek kaminawk boih loe, hnukkhuem ah angmacae hinghaih to ni a lak o.
19Such is the fate of all who are greedy, whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.
20Palunghahaih loe tasa bangah hangh moe, loklamnawk ah tha hoiah a hangh;
20Wisdom calls out in the street, she lifts her voice in the square;
21kami angpophaih ahmuennawk hoi vangpui khongkhanawk ah a hangh; vangpui thungah a hang ih loknawk loe,
21in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech:
22nangcae kami rumramnawk, khosak rumramhaih to nasetto maw na palung o han vop? Nangcae loe minawk mah pahnuithuihaih to na koeh o, amthu kaminawk loe palunghahaih to nasetto maw hnuma o vop tih?
22“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?
23Kang thuitaek o haih lok hae tahngai oh loe, amlaem oh; khenah, ka muithla nangcae nuiah ka kraih moe, ka thuih ih loknawk to kang panoek o sak han.
23If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.
24Kang kawk o naah, nang maak o; ka ban payangh naah, tidoeh nang sah o ai;
24Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,
25kang thuih ih lok to tidoeh na sah o ai moe, kang thuitaek o haih lok doeh na tahngai o ai pongah,
25because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,
26raihaih na tongh o naah kang pahnuih thuih moe, zithaih na tongh o naah,
26in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,
27na nuiah raihaih mah takhi sae baktiah phak moe, amrohaih mah takhi kamhae baktiah angzoh thuih naah, palungsethaih hoi raihaih mah na nuiah krak thuih naah doeh kang pahnui o thuih toeng han:
27when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.
28Kai nang kawk o naah, kang pathim o mak ai; nihcae mah kai to pakrong o tih, toe na hnu o mak ai.
28Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
29Nihcae loe palunghahaih to hnukma o, Angraeng zithaih to qoi o ai.
29For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD.
30Ka thuih ih lok to nihcae mah tahngai o ai, ka zoehhaih loknawk boih doeh patoek o.
30They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof.
31To pongah nihcae mah a caeh o haih loklam ih athaih to caa o ueloe, sak han a poek o ih hmuen hoiah koi o tih.
31So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32Poekhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe loklam amkhraeng o moe, duek o; amthu kaminawk khosakhoihaih loe angmacae amrohaih ah oh.
32For the waywardness of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
33Toe ka lok tahngai kami loe ngancuem ueloe, kasae zithaih om ai ah monghaih hoiah khosah tih.
33But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety, secure from the fear of evil.”
