Palungha Lok 21
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Siangpahrang ih palung loe, vapui baktiah Angraeng ban ah oh moe, a koehhaih ahmuen bangah longh.
1The king’s heart is a waterway in the hand of the LORD; He directs it where He pleases.
2Kami maeto boih mah a caehhaih loklam to toeng, tiah poek; toe Angraeng loe palungthin ni khingh.
2All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.
3Angbawnhaih ah paek ih hmuen pongah loe, katoengah sak ih hmuen, katoengah lokcaekhaih to Angraeng mah koeh kue.
3To do righteousness and justice is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4Azat panoek ai mik tamdai hoi amoek palungthin, kahoih ai kami ih hmaithaw loe zaehaih hae ni.
4Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the guides of the wicked—are sin.
5Poek het pacoengah toksah kami loe angraeng, tawt kaak hoi toksah kami loe amtang.
5The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty.
6Lok amlaihaih hoi hak ih hmuen loe kazawk tamai hoi duekhaih thaang ah ni oh.
6Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.
7Kahoih ai kaminawk loe kahoih hmuen to sak koeh o ai pongah, a sak o ih sethaih hmuen mah angmacae to amrosak tih.
7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away because they refuse to do what is just.
8Kami caehhaih loklam loe angkawnh; toe poekciim kami toksakhaih loe toeng.
8The way of a guilty man is crooked, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
9Angzoeh koeh zu hoiah kawk parai im ah oh pongah loe, imphu ranui ih im takii ah oh to hoih kue.
9Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
10Kahoih ai kami loe uthaih palung to tawnh; a imtaeng kami nuiah doeh tahmenhaih tawn ai.
10The soul of the wicked man craves evil; his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
11Kahoih ai kami danpaek naah, poek tawn ai kami to palungha lat; palungha kami thuitaek naah loe anih mah panoekhaih to hak.
11When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; and when a wise man is instructed, he acquires knowledge.
12Katoeng kami loe kahoih ai kami ih im to palunghahaih hoiah khet; toe kahoih ai kami loe a sak ih sethaih pongah amrosak.
12The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.
13Amtang kami qah naah naa tamuep kami loe, a qah naah mi mah doeh tahngai pae mak ai.
13Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer.
14Tamquta hoi paek ih tangqum mah palungphuihaih dipsak; tamquta hoi paek ih bokhaih tangqum mah kanung parai palungphuihaih to dipsak.
14A gift in secret soothes anger, and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.
15Kahoih kami loe katoeng hmuen sakhaih nuiah anghoehaih tawnh; toe sethaih sah kami hanah loe amrohaih ah oh.
15Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.
16Palunghahaih loklam hoi amkhraeng kami loe kadueh kaminawk salakah ni anghak tih.
16The man who strays from the path of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.
17Nawmhaih koeh kami loe amtang tih; mu hoi situi koeh kami doeh angraeng mak ai.
17He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.
18Kahoih ai kami loe katoeng kami akranghaih ah oh moe, zaehaih sah kami loe katoeng kami hanah oh.
18The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless for the upright.
19Angzoeh koeh moe, poeksae zu hoi nawnto oh pongah loe, praezaek ah oh to hoih kue.
19Better to live in the desert than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.
20Palungha im ah loe buh hoi situi amthlai pok ah oh; toe kamthu loe a tawnh ih hmuennawk to tahmat boih.
20Precious treasures and oil are in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man consumes them.
21Toenghaih hoi tahmenhaih pakrong kami loe hinghaih, toenghaih hoi ahmin pakoehhaih to hnuk.
21He who pursues righteousness and loving devotion finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22Palungha kami loe thacak kami ih vangpui to tuk moe, nihcae mah oep o ih sipae to phraek pae thaih.
22A wise man scales the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.
23Pahni hoi palai cip kami loe raihaih thung hoi a hinghaih loih thai hanah angvaeng kami ah oh.
23He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress.
24Amoek moe, palungphui thaih kami loe amoek kami, minawk pahnuithuih kami, tiah kawk o.
24Mocker is the name of the proud and arrogant man— of him who acts with excessive pride.
25Thasae kami loe bantha set pongah, vawthaih mah duehsak tih.
25The craving of the slacker kills him because his hands refuse to work.
26To baktih kami loe ni thokkruek angaihaih pop aep aep; toe katoeng kami loe paawt ai ah paek.
26All day long he covets more, but the righteous give without restraint.
27Kahoih ai kami mah paek ih angbawnhaih hmuen loe panuet thoh; anih mah kasae poekhaih palungthin hoi hmuen to sin nahaeloe kawkruk maw panuet thok aep tih!
27The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable— how much more so when brought with ill intent!
28Amsoem ai hnukungah kaom kami loe amro tih; toe lok thaih tangtang kami loe katoeng ah lokthuih.
28A lying witness will perish, but the man who listens to truth will speak forever.
29Kasae kami loe mikhmai pan thai ai; toe katoeng kami loe a caehhaih loklam to poek.
29A wicked man hardens his face, but the upright man makes his way sure.
30Angraeng ai ah loe palunghahaih, panoekhaih hoi sak atimhaih loe azom pui ni.
30There is no wisdom, no understanding, no counsel that can prevail against the LORD.
31Misatuk hanah hrang to suek coek boeh; toe misa pazawkhaih loe Angraeng ih ni.
31A horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory is of the LORD.
