Palungha Lok 22
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Angraenghaih pongah loe ahmin hoihhaih to qoih han hoih kue; sui hoi sumkanglung pongah doeh amlunghaih to koeh kue han oh.
1A good name is better than great riches: and good favour is above silver and gold.
2Long angraeng hoi kamtang anghmonghaih loe hae tiah oh: nihnik loe Sithaw mah ni sak hmaek.
2The rich and poor have met one another: the Lord is the maker of them both.
3Khopoek thaih kami loe raihaih to hnukcoek pongah ayae ving; toe poekhaih tidoeh tawn ai kami loe caeh moe, raihaih to tongh.
3The prudent man saw the evil, and hid himself: the simple passed on, and suffered loss.
4Minawk tlim ah khosakhaih hoi Angraeng zithaih mah angraenghaih, pakoehhaih hoi hinghaih to tacawtsak.
4The fruit of humility is the fear of the Lord, riches and glory and life.
5Poek angkawn kami caehhaih loklam loe soekhring hoi thaang hoiah koi; toe a hinghaih angvaeng kami mah loe ahmuen kangthla ah amhoe taak ving.
5Arms and swords are in the way of the perverse: but he that keepeth his own soul departeth far from them.
6Nawkta mah pazui han ih loklam to patuk ah; to naah ni a qoeng tahang naah, to loklam hoiah amkhraeng mak ai.
6It is a proverb: A young man according to his way, even when he is old he will not depart from it.
7Angraeng kami mah kamtang kami to uk, hmuenmae coi kami loe coisakkung ih tamna ah oh.
7The rich ruleth over the poor: and the borrower is servant to him that lendeth.
8Sethaih amu haeh kami loe sethaih to aat tih; anih palungphuihaih quiboeng loe amro tih.
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap evils, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed.
9Kami tahmenhaih mik to tawnh moe, amtang kami han paek koehhaih palungthin hoiah paek kami loe tahamhoih tih.
9He that is inclined to mercy shall be blessed: for of his bread he hath given to the poor. He that maketh presents shall purchase victory and honour: but he carrieth away the souls of the receivers.
10Minawk khet patoek kami to haek oh, lok angaekhaih to amding tih; angzoehhaih hoi kasae thuihaih doeh boeng tih.
10Cast out the scoffer, and contention shall go out with him, and quarrels and reproaches shall cease.
11Poektoeng kami loe, tahmenhaih hoiah lokthuih pongah, siangpahrang loe anih ih ampui ah om tih.
11He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend.
12Angraeng ih mik mah loe palunghahaih lok to pakaa moe, zaehaih sak koeh kami ih loknawk loe tiah doeh sah pae ai.
12The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge: and the words of the unjust are overthrown.
13Thasae kami loe tasa bangah kaipui oh! Minawk mah na hum tih, tiah thuih.
13The slothful man saith: There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.
14Sava laep ah zaehaih sah nongpata ih pakha loe kathuk tangqom ah oh; Angraeng mah panuet ih kami loe to tangqom thungah krah tih.
14The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit: he whom the Lord is angry with, shall fall into it.
15Nawkta ih palung loe amthuhaih mah zaeng; toe thuitaekhaih cung mah to amthuhaih to kangthla ah haek ving tih.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of correction shall drive it away.
16Angraeng thai hanah amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, angraeng kami hanah tamquta hoiah tangqum paek kami loe amtang tih.
16He that oppresseth the poor, to increase his own riches, shall himself give to one that is richer, and shall be in need.
17Naa to patueng ah loe palungha kami ih loknawk to tahngai ah; ka palunghahaih hae na palung thungah khrum ah.
17Incline thy ear, and hear the words of the wise: and apply thy heart to my doctrine:
18Palung thungah na khrum nahaeloe anghoehaih ah om tih; na pahni ah doeh suem ah.
18Which shall be beautiful for thee, if thou keep it in thy bowels, and it shall flow in thy lips:
19Angraeng ah nam ha thai hanah, vaihniah kang patuk boeh.
19That thy trust may be in the Lord, wherefore I have also shewn it to thee this day.
20Kahoih koek poekhaih hoi palunghahaih loknawk to kang tarik pae boeh,
20Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge:
21loktang lok to na panoek thaih moe, nang khae patoeh ih kaminawk khaeah, loktang lok na thuih pae let thai hanah, kang pat boeh na ai maw?
21That I might shew thee the certainty, and the words of truth, to answer out of these to them that sent thee.
22Amtang pongah kamtang ih hmuen to lomh pae o hmah; patangkhang kami to lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah pacaekthlaek o hmah.
22Do no violence to the poor, because he is poor: and do not oppress the needy in the gate:
23Angraeng mah nihcae kawng to thui ueloe, nihcae hinghaih paro kami to amrosak toeng tih.
23Because the Lord will judge his cause, and will afflict them that have afflicted his soul.
24Poek amthueng kami to ampui ah sah hmah; palungphui thaih kami hoi nawnto caeh hmah;
24Be not a friend to an angry man, and do not walk with a furious man:
25anih ih kuu na la moeng ueloe, na hinghaih to thaang pongah aman moeng tih.
25Lest perhaps thou learn his ways, and take scandal to thy soul.
26Minawk ih laiba pathok pae hanah lokmaihaih sah hmah, to tih ai boeh loe lokkamhaih to sah hmah.
26Be not with them that fasten down their hands, and that offer themselves sureties for debts:
27Laiba pathok hanah phoisa na tawn ai nahaeloe, na iihkhun to na paek han maw?
27For if thou have not wherewith to restore, what cause is there, that he should take the covering from thy bed?
28Nam panawk mah quenh tangcae ih prae angzithaih ramri to pathui hmah.
28Pass not beyond the ancient bounds which thy fathers have set.
29Kahoih ah toksah kami to na hnuk maw? To kami loe kami rumram ih toksah mak ai, siangpahrang ih tok ni sah tih.
29Hast thou seen a man swift in his work? he shall stand before kings, and shall not be before those that are obscure.
