Palungha Lok 7
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Ka capa, ka thuih ih loknawk hae pakuem ah, kang paek ih loknawk to palung thungah suem ah.
1My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,
2Kang paek ih loknawk to pakuemh loe, hing haih ah; kang patuk ih lok to na mikmu baktiah suem ah.
2Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye:
3Na banpazung nuiah komh loe, na palung thungah tarik ah.
3Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.
4Palunghahaih khaeah, Nang loe ka tanuh baktiah na oh, tiah thui ah loe, panoekhaih khaeah, Nang loe ka canawk baktiah na oh, tiah thui ah;
4Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,
5to tiah na sak nahaeloe zaehaih sak koeh nongpata, minawk zoek thaih nongpata ban thung hoiah na pakaa tih.
5That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words.
6Ka im thokbuem hoi ka khet naah ka hnuk ih hmuen loe,
6For I look out of the window of my house through the lattice,
7poekhaih tawn ai kami rumramnawk thungah ka khet naah, thendoengnawk thungah, poekhaih tawn ai thendoeng maeto ka hnuk.
7And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,
8To kami loe nongpata ohhaih loklam im takii bang hoiah to nongpata ohhaih im bangah a caeh,
8Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house.
9Duembang khoving, khoving qum taning tue phak naah loe,
9In the dark, when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night,
10khenah, tangzat zaw khukbuen angkhuk, minawk kazoek thaih nongpata loe anih hnuk hanah angzoh.
10And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot’s attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering,
11To nongpata loe palungthah moe, lok doeh ho parai; anih loe angmah ih im ah doeh om vai ai.
11Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home,
12Anih loe tasa bangah tacawt moe, kami angpophaih loklam, lam takii kruekah minawk to a zing.
12Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners.
13To nongpata mah anih to naeh moe, a mok; azathaih mikhmai tawn ai ah anih khaeah,
13And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying:
14misa angdaeh angbawnhaih sak han ka tawnh; vaihniah lokkamhaih ka koepsak boeh.
14I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.
15To pongah nang hnuk hanah kang zoh, palung tang hoi nang to kang pakrong, vaihi loe kang hnuk boeh.
15Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee.
16Rong congca kaom Izip prae ih, puu kahni hoiah ka iihhaih ahmuen to ka khuk het boeh.
16I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.
17Hmuihoih tui myrrh, aloe, cinnamon hoiah iihkhun to ka bawh boeh.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18Angzo ah, khawnbang khodai khoek to amlunghaih hoiah angkom hoi si; amlunghaih hoiah kanawm acaeng hoi si!
18Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear.
19Ka sava loe im ah om ai, angthla parai kholong ah a caeh ving.
19For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey.
20Anih loe phoisa tabu koi mongah phoisa to pacaeng pongah, khrah akoep ai karoek to im ah amlaem mak ai, tiah a naa.
20He took with him a bag of money: he mill return home the day of the full moon.
21Lokthuih kophaih hoiah anih to a zoek moe, kanaem lok hoiah anih to pazawk.
21She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips.
22Anih loe boh hanah hoih ih maitaw, thaang kacawh tasuk baktiah to nongpata hnukah bang roep;
22Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,
23anih loe panoekhaih tamsi pongah, palaa mah anih ih pathin to kaat ai karoek to, dongh pongah kaman tavaa baktiah a hinghaih to boengsak.
23Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.
24To pongah ka caanawk, ka lok to tahngai oh loe, ka thuih ih lok to pakuem oh.
24Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25To nongpata hnukah na poekhaih caeh o sak hmah loe, to nongpata ih loklam doeh pazui o hmah.
25Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths.
26Anih mah kami paroeai amtimsak boeh; ue, paroeai thacak kaminawk doeh anih mah hum boeh.
26For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.
27Anih ih im loe hell caehhaih manglai lam ah oh moe, duekhaih imthung ah akun tathuk.
27Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
