Palungha Lok 3
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Ka capa, kang patukhaih lok hae pahnet hmah, kang paek ih lok hae palung thungah pakuem ah;
1My son, forget not my law, and let thy heart keep my commandments.
2nang hanah hing sawkhaih hoi monghaih na paek tih.
2For they shall add to thee length of days, and years of life and peace.
3Tahmenhaih hoi loktang to caeh taak hmah; nangmah ih tahnong ah a oih ah loe, na palung cabu pongah tarik ah:
3Let not mercy and truth leave thee, put them about thy neck, and write them in the tables of thy heart:
4to tih nahaeloe Sithaw hmaa hoi kami hmaa ah mikhmai hnu ueloe, ahmin hoihaih na hnu tih.
4And thou shalt And grace and good understanding before God and men.
5Na palungthin boih hoi Angraeng oephaih to tawn ah; na panoekhaih pongah amha hmah.
5Have confidence in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon thy own prudence.
6Na caehhaih loklam kruekah anih to panoek ah, to tih nahaeloe na caehhaih loklam na hnusak tih.
6In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.
7Na mikhnuk ah palungha baktiah om hmah; Angraeng to zii ah loe, hmuensae to caeh taak ah.
7I Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:
8To tih nahaeloe na thaquinawk ngantui o ueloe, na huhnawk doeh thacak o tih.
8For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.
9Na tawnh ih hmuen, thingthai tangsuek hoiah Angraeng to pakoeh ah:
9Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:
10to tiah na sak nahaeloe nang ih tapupnawk cang hoiah koi amthlai o ueloe, misurtui suekhaih muroihnawk doeh misurtui kangtha hoiah koi amthlai o tih.
10And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.
11Ka capa, Angraeng thuitaekhaih to patoek hmah; ang zoehhaih lok pongah doeh palung naa hmah:
11My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint when thou art chastised by him:
12palung ih capa loe ampa mah thuitaek baktih toengah, Angraeng mah palung ih kami loe thuitaek ah oh.
12For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.
13Palunghahaih pakrong moe, panoekhaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
13Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom and is rich in prudence:
14Palunghahaih loe sumkanglung pongah atho oh kue moe, sui pongah doeh hoih kue.
14The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:
15Atho kaom thlung kathim pongah doeh atho nat kue, na koeh ih hmuennawk boih hoiah doeh patah thai ai.
15She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.
16A bantang bangah hingsawkhaih to a suek, banqoi bangah loe angraenghaih hoi khingyahaih to a suek.
16Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
17Palunghahaih loklam loe nawm moe, a caehhaih loklamnawk boih ah monghaih to oh.
17Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceable.
18Palunghahaih loe palunghahaih patawn kami hanah hinghaih thingkung ah oh; palunghahaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and he that shall retain her is blessed.
19Angraeng mah long hae palunghahaih hoiah ni sak; vannawk doeh panoekhaih hoiah a suek.
19The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, hath established the heavens by prudence.
20Kathuk parai tuipuinawk to a palunghahaih hoiah tapraek moe, tamai thung hoiah dantuinawk to a kraksak.
20By his wisdom the depths have broken out, and the clouds grow thick with dew.
21Ka capa, palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih to na hmaa hoiah amkhraengsak ving hmah; pakuem poe ah.
21My son, let not these things depart from thy eyes: keep the law and counsel:
22To tiah na sak nahaeloe na pakhra hinghaih ah om ueloe, na tahnong kranghoihaih bungmu ah om tih.
22And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.
23Kholong caeh naah raihaih na tawn mak ai; khok doeh na pathuih mak ai.
23Then shalt thou walk confidently in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble:
24Na iih naah zithaih na tawn mak ai; ue, kahnaep ah na iip thai tih.
24If thou sleep, thou shalt not fear: thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25Tasoehhaih na tawn mak ai, kahoih ai kaminawk mah parohaih doeh na tong mak ai.
25Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the power of the wicked falling upon thee.
26Angraeng loe nam haahaih ah om ueloe, dongh pongah amanh han ai ah na khoknawk to patawn tih.
26For the Lord will be at thy side, and will keep thy foot that thou be not taken.
27Na ban ah sakthaihaih na tawnh naah, kahoih hmuen sak pae han krak, tiah na poek ih kami nuiah kahoih hmuen to sah ai ah om hmah.
27Do not withhold him from doing good, who is able: if thou art able, do good thyself also.
28Na imtaeng kami han paek koi hmuen na tawnh, toe anih khaeah vaihi loe amlaem raeh, khawnbang nang zoh let naah kang paek han hmang, tiah thui hmah.
28Say not to thy friend: Go, and come again: and tomorrow I will give to thee: when thou canst give at present.
29Nang oephaih hoiah khosah na imtaeng kami khaeah, kasae sak han atim hmah.
29Practise not evil against thy friend, when he hath confidence in thee.
30Na nuiah sethaih sah ai kami to, tidoeh na ai ah zoeh hmah.
30Strive not against a man without cause, when he hath done thee no evil.
31Pacaekthlaek kami ih hmuen to ut hmah loe, a caehhaih loklam to awt hmah.
31Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:
32Poek angkawnh kaminawk loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe poektoeng kaminawk loe angmah hoi nawnto angkomhaih to a sak.
32For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.
33Angraeng tangoenghaih loe kahoih ai kaminawk imthung ah phak, toe katoeng kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen loe Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek.
33Want is from the Lord in the house of the wicked: but the habitations of the just shall be blessed.
34Minawk pahnui thuih kami to anih mah pahnui thuih toeng, toe kami tlim ah khosah kaminawk khaeah loe tahmenhaih to a paek.
34He shall scorn the scorners, and to the meek he will give grace.
35Palungha kaminawk loe lensawkhaih to toepsak; toe amthu kaminawk loe azatsak.
35The wise shall possess glory: the promotion of fools is disgrace.
