Palungha Lok 27
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Khawnbang hanah amoek hmah, khawnbang ah timaw angzo tih, tito na panoek ai.
1Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
2Na pakha hoi amkoeh hmah, minawk kalah mah pakoeh nasoe; na pahni hoiah amkoeh hmah, minawk kalah ih pahni mah pakoeh nasoe.
2Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3Thlung loe azit moe, savuet doeh azit; toe kamthu palungphuihaih loe to hnik pongah doeh azit kue.
3A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4Palungphuihaih loe zit thoh; toe mi maw uthaih hmaa ah angdoe thai tih?
4Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5Tamquta hoiah amlung pongah loe kamtueng ah angzoeh to hoih kue.
5Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6Ampui loe ahmaa caak naah doeh oepthoh; toe misa mah mok ih loe alinghaih ah ni oh.
6The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7Zok amhah kami loe khoitui to panuet; toe zok amthlam kami hanah loe ka khaa doeh luep.
7A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
8Angmah ih im caehtaak kami loe, angmah ih tabu azawk taak tavaa hoiah anghmong.
8As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
9Hmuihoih hoi hmuihoih tui mah poekhaih to nawmsak; ampui kahoih mah loe anghoe koi kaom poekhaih to palung tang hoiah paek.
9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10Nam pui hoi nam pa ih ampui to pahnawt hmah; raihaih tong naah nam nawkamya im ah caeh hmah; na imtaeng kami loe ahmuen kangthla ah kaom nam nawkamya pongah hoih kue.
10Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
11Ka capa, palungha ah loe, ka palungthin hae anghoesak ah; to tiah ni kai hnaphnae kaminawk to ka pathim thai tih.
11Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
12Khopoek thaih kami loe raihaih to hnukcoek moe, abuephaih to pakrong; toe poekhaih tawn ai kami loe muk rumram moe, patangkhanghaih to hnuk.
12A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
13Kahni to na khring pae ai ah loe angvin hoi panoek ai ih nongpata khaeah lokkamhaih to sah hmah.
13Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
14Khawnthaw ah angmah ih ampui hanah tha hoi tahamhoihaih paek kami loe, anih tangoenghaih baktiah ni oh.
14He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
15Angzoeh koeh zu loe cawh tue ah, khotui kalong imphu hoiah anghmong.
15A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
16To baktih nongpata to hawk kami loe, takhi hawk kami hoiah anghmong, anih loe bantang ban ah bawh ih situi baktiah oh.
16restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
17Sum mah sum to noetsak baktih toengah, ampui mah angmah ih ampui mikhmai to pansak.
17Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
18Thaiduetkung toep kami loe thaiduet thaih to caa tih; to baktih toengah Angraeng khenzawn kami loe pakoehhaih to om tih.
18Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
19Tui pongah krang amtueng baktih toengah, kami ih palungthin mah kami to amtuengsak.
19Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
20Hell hoi duekhaih loe natuek naah doeh koi thai ai; to baktih toengah kami mik mah hnukhaih to boep thai ai.
20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
21Sumkanglung tui pacii hanah laom to oh, suitui pacii hanah kamngaeh hmai to oh; to baktih toengah kami doeh pakoehhaih hoiah tanoek thaih.
21The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
22Kamthu loe cang hoi nawnto suum pongah na daeng cadoeh, amthuhaih to anghmaa thai mak ai.
22Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
23Nangmah ih tuunawk to kahoih ah panoek ah loe, nangmah ih maehnawk to kahoih ah khenzawn ah.
23Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
24Angraenghaih loe dungzan ah cak poe ai; angraeng lumuek doeh caa nawktanawk khoek to cak poe ai.
24for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
25Phroh loe amprawk moe, phroh kangtha to tacawt, mae ah kaom lawk ih cang to aah o.
25The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
26Tuu zawhhaih phoisa hoiah khukbuen to qan ah, maeh zawhhaih atho hoiah lawk to qan ah.
26The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
27Na caanawk hoi na tamna nongpatanawk pacah hanah, maeh tahnutui kapop ah na tawn tih. p
27There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
