Palungha Lok 20
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Misurtui loe tamhnui tabu ah ni oh; mu mah angzoehhaih to ohsak; mu paquih loe amthuhaih ah ni oh.
1Wine is a luxurious thing, and drunkenness riotous: whosoever is delighted therewith shell not be wise.
2Siangpahrang palungphuihaih loe kahang kaipui kabtiah oh; anih palungphui han sah kami loe a hinghaih zaehaih sahsak kami ah oh.
2As the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king: he that provoketh him, sinneth against his own soul.
3Angzoehhaih dipsakkung loe khingya han krak; toe kamthu mah angzoehhaih to tacawtsak.
3It is an honour for a man to separate himself from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches.
4Thasae kami loe atue naah laikok atok ai pongah, cang aah tue ah minawk khaeah hni cadoeh, hak mak ai.
4Because of the cold the sluggard would not plough: he shall beg therefore in the summer, and it shall not be given him.
5Kami ih palung thung hoi sak atimhaih loe kathuk tui baktiah oh; toe panoekhaih tawn kami mah ni la thai tih.
5Counsel in the heart of a man is like deep water: but a wise man will draw it out.
6Kami boih mah a sak o ih kahoih hmuen to thuih o boih; toe mi mah maw oepthok kami to hnu thai tih?
6Many men are called merciful: but who shall find a faithful man?
7Katoeng kami loe a toenghaih loklam to pazui pongah, a caanawk loe tahamhoih o.
7The just that walketh in his simplicity, shall leave behind him blessed children.
8Siangpahrang mah lokcaek hanah angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnut naah, kahoih ai hmuennawk to a mik hoiah pathlaeng thaih boih.
8The king, that sitteth on the throne of judgment, scattereth away all evil with his look.
9Ka palung hae ka ciimsak boeh, zaehaih ka tawn ai, tiah mi mah maw thui thai tih?
9Who can say: My heart is clean, I am pure from sin?
10Angvan ai hmuenzit tahhaih patoh hoi angvan ai kasawk tahhaih patohhaih to Angraeng mah panuet.
10Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.
11Nawkta loe a sak ih hmuen toeng maw toeng ai, ciim maw ciim ai, tito a sak ih hmuen hoiah amtueng.
11By his inclinations a child is known, if his works be clean and right.
12Thaihhaih naa hoi hnukhaih mik loe, Angraeng mah ni sak hmaek.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made them both.
13Iih koeh hmoek hmah; nam tang tih; na mik to padai ah, to tiah nahaeloe takaw hoiah zok nam hah tih.
13Love not sleep, lest poverty oppress thee: open thy eyes, and be filled with bread.
14Hmuen qankung mah hmuen to qan naah, Hoih ai, hoih ai, tiah thuih; toe nawnetta caeh pacoengah loe, a qan ih hmuen to amoek haih.
14It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.
15Sui to oh moe, atho kana thlung kathim doeh oh mangh; toe palunghahaih lokthui pahni to hoih kue.
15There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.
16Panoek ai ih kami hanah phoisa coi han lokkam kami loe angmah ih kahni to la pae ving tih, panoek ai ih angvin nongpata hanah lokkamhaih sah kami loe angmah ih hmuenmae to naeh pae tih.
16Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.
17Alinghaih hoiah hnuk ih caaknaek loe khraem parai; toe hnukkhuem ah loe pakha to thlungcaret hoiah koi tih.
17The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18Na timhaih sah ai naah minawk khae hoi kahoih poekhaih to la ah; kahoih poekhaih paekkung na tawnh naah, misa to tuh ah.
18Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
19Pakhaa cip ai kami mah tamqu hmuen to angphongsak; to pongah pakha cip ai kami hoiah angkom hmah.
19Meddle not with him that revealeth secrets, and walketh deceitfully, and openeth wide his lips.
20Amno hoi ampa pasoih kami loe, khoving thungah anih ih hmaithaw paduek pae ving tih.
20He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
21Karangah angraenghaih loe, hnukkhuem ah tahamsethaih ah om tih.
21The inheritance gotten hastily in the beginning, in the end shall be without a blessing.
22Sak ih zaehaih baktiah ka pathok let han, tiah thui hmah; Angraeng to mah oep ah, anih mah na pahlong tih.
22Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord and he will deliver thee.
23Katoeng ai hmuenzit tahhaih to Angraeng mah panuet; anih loe amsoem ai coi tahhaih nuiah anghoe ai.
23Diverse weights are an abomination before the Lord: a deceitful balance is not good.
24Kami ih khok takan loe Angraeng mah ni zaeh; kami mah kawbangmaw a caehhaih loklam to panoek thai tih?
24The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?
25Poek het ai ah tawthaih hoi Sithaw khaeah lokkamhaih sah kami, lokkam pacoengah a lokkamhaih dawnpakhuem let kami loe, aimah hanah dongh patung kami ah oh.
25It is ruin to a man to devour holy ones, and after vows to retract.
26Palungha siangpahrang loe kahoih ai kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng moe, cang kaehhaih hoiah nihcae to a kaeh.
26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth over them the wheel.
27Kami ih muithla loe, angmah palung thung ih hmuennawk pakronghaih, Angraeng ih hmaithawk ah oh.
27The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, which searcheth all the hidden things of the bowels.
28Amlunghaih hoi oepthohhaih mah siangpahrang to ngancuemsak; amlunghaih mah angraeng tangkhang to caksak.
28Mercy and truth preserve the king, and his throne is strengthened by clemency.
29Thacakhaih loe thendoeng lensawkhaih ah oh moe, sampok loe mitong kranghoihaih ah oh.
29The joy of young men is their strength: and the dignity of old men, their grey hairs.
30Nganbawh kana hakhaih hoi ahmaa caakhaih mah kasae hmuen to ciimsak; bohhaih mah palungthin thung ih sethaih to pasaeh.
30The blueness of a wound shall wipe away evils: and stripes in the more inward parts of the belly.
