Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ka capa, kang thuih ih lok to na tahngaih moe, kang paek ih loknawk palung thungah na pakuem nahaeloe,
1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee;
2palunghahaih bangah na naa to patuengh loe, panoekhaih bangah na palung to paek ah;
2So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;
3ue, panoekhaih hnuk hanah na hangh, panoek thai hanah tha hoiah na hangh moe,
3Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;
4sumkanglung pakrong baktiah na pakrong pacoengah, hawk ih hmuen baktiah na pakrong nahaeloe,
4If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
5Angraeng zithaih to na panoek ueloe, Sithaw palunghahaih to na hnu tih.
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6Angraeng mah palunghahaih to paek, palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih loe anih pakha hoiah ni tacawt.
6For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
7Katoeng kaminawk hanah palughahaih to paek moe, toenghaih hoiah lamcaeh kaminawk hanah anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
8Katoeng kaminawk caehhaih loklam to anih mah toep moe, oepthok angmah ih kaminawk to pakaa.
8That He may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of His godly ones.
9To tiah ni toenghaih, katoengah lokcaekhaih, kangvan ah lok takroekhaih to na panoek ueloe, kahoih loklamnawk to na panoek tih.
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, and equity, yea, every good path.
10Palunghahaih mah na palungthin to paongh naah, panoekhaih loe na pakhra anghoesakkung ah om tih.
10For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
11Panoekthaihaih mah na pakaa ueloe, na panoekhaih mah na toep tih;
11Discretion shall watch over thee, discernment shall guard thee;
12palunghahaih mah loe toenghaih loklam amkhraeng taak kami, vinghaih thungah caeh kami, kahoih ai kami caehhaih loklam hoi katoengah lokthui ai kami ih ban thung hoiah pahlong tih;
12To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men that speak froward things;
no verse 13 in this text
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14hmuensae sakhaih bangah kanawm panoek moe, kasae kaminawk mah sak ih katoeng ai hmuen ah kanawm acaeng kami,
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;
15toenghaih loklam ah caeh ai, loklam kangkoih ah caeh kaminawk ban thung hoiah pahlong ueloe,
15Who are crooked in their ways, and perverse in their paths;
16zaehaih sak koeh nongpata, kami zoek thaih nongpata khae hoiah doeh pahlong tih;
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the alien woman that maketh smooth her words;
17to baktih nongpata loe tangla nathuem ah thuitaekhaih lok to pahnawt moe, a Sithaw hmaa ah sak ih lokmaihaih pahnet ving kami ah oh.
17That forsaketh the lord of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18To nongpata ih im loe duekhaih bangah laemh tathuk moe, kadueh kami pakhranawk caehhaih loklam bangah a caeh.
18For her house sinketh down unto death, and her paths unto the shades;
19Anih khaeah caeh kaminawk boih loe, mi doeh amlaem o ai boeh, hinghaih loklam doeh hnu o ai.
19None that go unto her return, neither do they attain unto the paths of life;
20Nang loe kahoih kaminawk ih loklam to pazui ah loe, katoeng kaminawk ih loklam ah caeh poe ah.
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21Katoeng kami loe prae thungah khosah ueloe, coek koi om ai kami loe to prae thungah om poe tih,
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the whole-hearted shall remain in it.
22toe kasae kaminawk loe prae thungah om o thai mak ai, zaehaih sah kaminawk loe prae thung hoiah haek o ving tih.
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the faithless shall be plucked up out of it.
