Palungha Lok 31
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Lemuel siangpahrang ih palunghahaih lok, amno mah patuk ih lok loe hae tiah oh;
1The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
2aw ka capa, aw ka zok thung ih ka capa, aw lokkamhaih ka capa,
2“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
3na thacakhaih to nongpatanawk khaeah patoh hmah loe, siangpahrang hum koeh kaminawk caehhaih loklam to pazui hmah.
3Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4Aw Lemuel, siangpahrangnawk loe misurtui naek han om ai; angraengnawk loe misurtui paqui han amcuk ai;
4It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
5nihcae mah nae o nahaeloe, patukhaih lok to pahnet o ueloe, amtang kami han toenghaih hoiah lokcaekhaih to amkhraeng o taak ving moeng tih.
5lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6Anghmaa angtaa kami hanah mu to paek oh loe, palungboeng kami hanah misurtui to paek oh.
6Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
7Anih mah amtanghaih hoi patangkhanghaih pahnet hanah nae nasoe.
7Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8Amtang kaminawk mah hak han koi hmuen to a hak o thai hanah, lokthui thai ai kaminawk to lokthuih abomh oh.
8Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
9Lok to thui ah loe, toenghaih hoiah lok to caek ah; amtang kami hoi mithoenawk mah hak han koi hmuen to paek oh.
9Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
10Mi mah maw tuinuen kahoih zu to hnu thai tih? To nongpata loe atho kana thlung kathim pongah atho oh kue.
10Who can find a worthy woman? For her value is far above rubies.
11A sava mah anih to oep ueloe, amtanghaih hoiah loih tih.
11The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
12To baktih nongpata loe a sava hanah kasae hmuen to sah ai; a hing thung kahoih hmuen to a sinh pae.
12She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
13Anih loe tuumui hoi pathlah to pakrong moe, a koeh baktiah a ban hoiah tok to a sak.
13She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
14Anih loe hmuenmae zawhaih palongpui baktiah oh moe, angthla parai ahmuen hoiah caaknaek to a phawh.
14She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
15Anih loe khodai ai naah angthawk moe, a imthung takoh hanah caaknaek to patoem pae, a tamna nongpatanawk hanah caaknaek to a paek.
15She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
16Anih loe poek het moe, lawk doeh a qanh; a toksakhaih atho hoiah misurkung to a tlingh.
16She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
17Anih loe kaengkaeh to kacakah angzaeng moe, a ban to thacaksak.
17She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
18Anih mah zawh ih hmuenmae loe atho oh; anih ih hmaiim doeh aqum puek dueh mak ai.
18She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn’t go out by night.
19A ban hoiah lahat to a kaeh moe, a ban hoiah kahni to a sak.
19She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
20Amtang kaminawk to a khetzawn, ue, mithoenawk to abomh.
20She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
21Anih ih imthung takoh loe kahni kamling to angkhuk o boih pongah, dantui krah cadoeh tasoehhaih tawn ai.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

23Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.

24She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
25Anih loe thacak moe, khingya koi khukbuen hoiah amthoep; anih loe angzo han koi atue ah anghoehaih hoiah khosah tih.
25Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
26Anih loe palunghahaih hoiah lok to thuih, anih ih pahni ah tahmenhaih lok to oh.
26She opens her mouth with wisdom. Kind instruction is on her tongue.
27Anih loe angmah ih imthung takoh to kahoih ah khetzawn, thasethaih buh to caa ai.
27She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn’t eat the bread of idleness.
28A caanawk loe angthawk o moe, amno to tahamhoihaih paek o; a sava mah doeh anih to pakoeh.
28Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
29Paroeai kami ih canunawk mah kahoih hmuen to sak o; toe nang mah loe nihcae to na takrenh boih.
29“Many women do noble things, but you excel them all.”
30Lok kahoih loe alinghaih ah ni oh; kranghoihaih doeh azom pui ni; toe Angraeng zii nongpata loe, pakoehhaih hnu tih.
30Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31To baktih nongpata hanah a toksakhaih tangqum to paek oh; a toksakhaih mah anih to vangpui khongkha ah pakoeh nasoe.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!
