Saam 49
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Nangcae boih, hae hae tahngai oh; long ah khosah kaminawk:
1Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2kahnaem kasang, angraeng hoi kamtang kaminawk boih, nawnto tahngai oh.
2Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3Kai ih pakha loe palunghahaih lok to thui ueloe, ka palungthin mah panoek thaihaih to poek tih.
3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4Patahhaih lok bangah naa ka patueng moe, kathuk ruici lok to katoeng kruekhaih hoiah kamnoek ah ka thuih han.
4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5Tipongah maw kasae aninawk to angzoh moe, kai aling koeh kaminawk ih zaehaih mah ang takui khoep naah ka zii tih?
5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6Nihcae loe angmacae ih hmuenmae to oep o moe, angraenghaih pongah amoek o cadoeh;
6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7angmacae nawkamyanawk to mi mah doeh akrang o thai ai, anih han Sithaw khaeah akranghaih hmuen doeh paek o thai ai:
7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8nihcae hinghaih akrang hanah paroeai atho nat, to pongah dungzan khoek to sung tih boeh:
8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9akrang nahaeloe kami loe qong ai ah, dungzan khoek to hing han oh.
9That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10Palungha kaminawk duekhaih loe kami boih mah hnuk; nihcae loe kamthu kami hoi tidoeh panoek ai kami baktiah ni anghmat o moe, minawk hanah ni a tawnh o ih hmuennawk to caeh o taak.
10For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11A tawnh o ih imnawk loe dungzan khoek to cak tih, a oh o haih ahmuennawk doeh a caanawk dung khoek to cak poe tih, tiah a poek o pongah, longnawk to angmacae ih ahmin hoiah suek o.
11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12Toe kami loe lensawk cadoeh cak poe ai: kanghmaa kangtaa taw ih moi hoiah ni anghmong.
12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13Nihcae amthuhaih loklam loe to tiah oh: nihcae mah thuih o ih loknawk to a caanawk mah tahngai pae o. Selah .
13This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14Nihcae loe tuu baktiah taprong ah angsong o, duekhaih mah nihcae to pacah tih; akhawnbang ah nihcae to katoeng kaminawk mah uk tih; nihcae ih krang loe taprong ah qong tih, taprong loe nihcae ohhaih ahmuen ah oh.
14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
15Toe ka pakhra loe taprong thacakhaih thung hoiah Sithaw mah akrang ueloe, angmah khaeah na caeh haih tih. Selah .
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16Kami loe angraeng moe, a im lensawkhaih hoiah qoeng tahang naah, zii hmah;
16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17A duek naah loe tita doeh sin mak ai, a lensawkhaih mah anih to patom tathuk mak ai.
17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18Anih hing naah loe, angmah hoi angmah to tahamhoih koek ah a poek: nang raeng naah loe, kaminawk mah nang to ang pakoeh o.
18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19Toe anih loe ampanawk ih acaeng ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh tih; nihcae loe hinghaih to natuek naah doeh hnu o mak ai boeh.
19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20Hmuenmae angraenghaih hoi koi, panoekhaih tawn ai kami loe, anghma angtaa taw ih moi hoiah ni anghmong.
20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
