Palungha Lok 7
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Ka capa, ka thuih ih loknawk hae pakuem ah, kang paek ih loknawk to palung thungah suem ah.
1My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
2Kang paek ih loknawk to pakuemh loe, hing haih ah; kang patuk ih lok to na mikmu baktiah suem ah.
2Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
3Na banpazung nuiah komh loe, na palung thungah tarik ah.
3Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your 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;
4Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
5to tiah na sak nahaeloe zaehaih sak koeh nongpata, minawk zoek thaih nongpata ban thung hoiah na pakaa tih.
5that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6Ka im thokbuem hoi ka khet naah ka hnuk ih hmuen loe,
6For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
7poekhaih tawn ai kami rumramnawk thungah ka khet naah, thendoengnawk thungah, poekhaih tawn ai thendoeng maeto ka hnuk.
7I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
8To kami loe nongpata ohhaih loklam im takii bang hoiah to nongpata ohhaih im bangah a caeh,
8passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
9Duembang khoving, khoving qum taning tue phak naah loe,
9in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10khenah, tangzat zaw khukbuen angkhuk, minawk kazoek thaih nongpata loe anih hnuk hanah angzoh.
10Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
11To nongpata loe palungthah moe, lok doeh ho parai; anih loe angmah ih im ah doeh om vai ai.
11She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.
12Anih loe tasa bangah tacawt moe, kami angpophaih loklam, lam takii kruekah minawk to a zing.
12Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
13To nongpata mah anih to naeh moe, a mok; azathaih mikhmai tawn ai ah anih khaeah,
13So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
14misa angdaeh angbawnhaih sak han ka tawnh; vaihniah lokkamhaih ka koepsak boeh.
14“Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today 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 came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
16Rong congca kaom Izip prae ih, puu kahni hoiah ka iihhaih ahmuen to ka khuk het boeh.
16I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of 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’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
19Ka sava loe im ah om ai, angthla parai kholong ah a caeh ving.
19For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a 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 has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
21Lokthuih kophaih hoiah anih to a zoek moe, kanaem lok hoiah anih to pazawk.
21With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
22Anih loe boh hanah hoih ih maitaw, thaang kacawh tasuk baktiah to nongpata hnukah bang roep;
22He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
23anih loe panoekhaih tamsi pongah, palaa mah anih ih pathin to kaat ai karoek to, dongh pongah kaman tavaa baktiah a hinghaih to boengsak.
23Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
24To pongah ka caanawk, ka lok to tahngai oh loe, ka thuih ih lok to pakuem oh.
24Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
25To nongpata hnukah na poekhaih caeh o sak hmah loe, to nongpata ih loklam doeh pazui o hmah.
25Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
26Anih mah kami paroeai amtimsak boeh; ue, paroeai thacak kaminawk doeh anih mah hum boeh.
26for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
27Anih ih im loe hell caehhaih manglai lam ah oh moe, duekhaih imthung ah akun tathuk.
27Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.
