Palungha Lok 22
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
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 rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2Long angraeng hoi kamtang anghmonghaih loe hae tiah oh: nihnik loe Sithaw mah ni sak hmaek.
2The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
3Khopoek thaih kami loe raihaih to hnukcoek pongah ayae ving; toe poekhaih tidoeh tawn ai kami loe caeh moe, raihaih to tongh.
3A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4Minawk tlim ah khosakhaih hoi Angraeng zithaih mah angraenghaih, pakoehhaih hoi hinghaih to tacawtsak.
4By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, 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.
5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be 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.
6Train up a child in the way he should go: and 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 the lender.
8Sethaih amu haeh kami loe sethaih to aat tih; anih palungphuihaih quiboeng loe amro tih.
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9Kami tahmenhaih mik to tawnh moe, amtang kami han paek koehhaih palungthin hoiah paek kami loe tahamhoih tih.
9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10Minawk khet patoek kami to haek oh, lok angaekhaih to amding tih; angzoehhaih hoi kasae thuihaih doeh boeng tih.
10Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11Poektoeng kami loe, tahmenhaih hoiah lokthuih pongah, siangpahrang loe anih ih ampui ah om tih.
11He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be 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 he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
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 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 strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
15Nawkta ih palung loe amthuhaih mah zaeng; toe thuitaekhaih cung mah to amthuhaih to kangthla ah haek ving tih.
15Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
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 riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17Naa to patueng ah loe palungha kami ih loknawk to tahngai ah; ka palunghahaih hae na palung thungah khrum ah.
17Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18Palung thungah na khrum nahaeloe anghoehaih ah om tih; na pahni ah doeh suem ah.
18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19Angraeng ah nam ha thai hanah, vaihniah kang patuk boeh.
19That thy trust may be in the LORD , I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20Kahoih koek poekhaih hoi palunghahaih loknawk to kang tarik pae boeh,
20Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels 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 make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22Amtang pongah kamtang ih hmuen to lomh pae o hmah; patangkhang kami to lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah pacaekthlaek o hmah.
22Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23Angraeng mah nihcae kawng to thui ueloe, nihcae hinghaih paro kami to amrosak toeng tih.
23For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24Poek amthueng kami to ampui ah sah hmah; palungphui thaih kami hoi nawnto caeh hmah;
24Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25anih ih kuu na la moeng ueloe, na hinghaih to thaang pongah aman moeng tih.
25Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
26Minawk ih laiba pathok pae hanah lokmaihaih sah hmah, to tih ai boeh loe lokkamhaih to sah hmah.
26Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
27Laiba pathok hanah phoisa na tawn ai nahaeloe, na iihkhun to na paek han maw?
27If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28Nam panawk mah quenh tangcae ih prae angzithaih ramri to pathui hmah.
28Remove not the ancient landmark, 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.
29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men .
