1The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
1Haenawk loe Israel siangpahrang, David capa, Solomon ih palungha lok ah oh;
2To know wisdom, and instruction:
2palungha lok mah palunghahaih, thuitaekhaih hoi kathuk lokhlongnawk panoekhaih to na paek tih;
3To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity:
3thuitaek thaihaih, katoeng ah lokcaekhaih, kangvan ah lok takroekhaih to na hnu tih;
4To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding.
4kami rumramnawk khaeah palunghahaih to paek ueloe, thendoeng mah panoekhaih hoi poek thaihaih to tawn tih.
5A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments.
5Palungha kami loe lok tahngai ueloe, panoekhaih to pung tih; panoekhaih tawn kami loe palungha kami mah thuih ih lok to talawk tih;
6He shall understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings.
6palungha lok hoi patahhaih loknawk, palungha kami mah thuih ih palunghahaih lok hoi kathuk loknawk to panoek thai hanah,
7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
7Sithaw zithaih loe palunghahaih takung ah oh; toe amthu mah loe palunghahaih hoi thuitaekhaih to patoek.
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
8Ka capa, nam pa thuitaekhaih lok to tahngaih loe, nam no mah patukhaih to pahnawt sut hmah.
9That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck.
9To tiah thuitaekhaih hoi patukhaih loe na lu hanah apawk lumuek baktih, na tahnong hanah bungmu ah om tih.
10My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them.
10Ka capa, kami zaenawk mah na zoek cadoeh, nihcae ih lok to tahngai hmah.
11If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause:
11Nihcae mah, Kaicae hnuk ah na bang ah, kami athii palong hanah zing si loe, zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk to angang si;
12Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit.
12nihcae to taprong baktih, tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk baktiah, kahing ah paaeh boih si;
13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils.
13to tiah nahaeloe atho kana hmuenmae to a hnu o ueloe, aicae ih im doeh minawk khae hoi lomh ih hmuenmae hoiah koi tih;
14Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse.
14kaicae hoi nawnto taham khethaih phoisa to va ah; a hnuk o ih phoisa doeh kangvan ah amzet si, tiah na naa o cadoeh,
15My son, walk not thou with them, restrain thy foot from their paths.
15ka capa, nihcae hnukah bang hmah; nihcae caehhaih loklam ah caeh hmah:
16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
16nihcae loe zaehaih sak hanah cawnh o moe, athii palong hanah angtawt rang o.
17But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings.
17Tavaa mah hnuk naah palok payang nahaeloe tih atho maw om tih!
18And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls.
18To baktih kaminawk loe angmacae athii long hanah zing o moe, angmacae hinghaih lak han ih ni angang o!
19So the wage of every covetous man destroy the souls of the possessors.
19Amsoem ai ah hmuen hak koeh hmoek kaminawk boih loe, hnukkhuem ah angmacae hinghaih to ni a lak o.
20Wisdom preacheth abroad, she uttereth her voice in the streets:
20Palunghahaih loe tasa bangah hangh moe, loklamnawk ah tha hoiah a hangh;
21At the head of multitudes she crieth out, in the entrance of the gates of the city she uttereth her words, saying:
21kami angpophaih ahmuennawk hoi vangpui khongkhanawk ah a hangh; vangpui thungah a hang ih loknawk loe,
22O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?
22nangcae kami rumramnawk, khosak rumramhaih to nasetto maw na palung o han vop? Nangcae loe minawk mah pahnuithuihaih to na koeh o, amthu kaminawk loe palunghahaih to nasetto maw hnuma o vop tih?
23Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words.
23Kang thuitaek o haih lok hae tahngai oh loe, amlaem oh; khenah, ka muithla nangcae nuiah ka kraih moe, ka thuih ih loknawk to kang panoek o sak han.
24Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded.
24Kang kawk o naah, nang maak o; ka ban payangh naah, tidoeh nang sah o ai;
25You have despised all my counsel, and have neglected my reprehensions.
25kang thuih ih lok to tidoeh na sah o ai moe, kang thuitaek o haih lok doeh na tahngai o ai pongah,
26I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared.
26raihaih na tongh o naah kang pahnuih thuih moe, zithaih na tongh o naah,
27When sudden calamity shall fall on you, and destruction, as a tempest, shall be at hand: when tribulation and distress shall come upon you:
27na nuiah raihaih mah takhi sae baktiah phak moe, amrohaih mah takhi kamhae baktiah angzoh thuih naah, palungsethaih hoi raihaih mah na nuiah krak thuih naah doeh kang pahnui o thuih toeng han:
28Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning and shall not find me:
28Kai nang kawk o naah, kang pathim o mak ai; nihcae mah kai to pakrong o tih, toe na hnu o mak ai.
29Because they have hated instruction and received not the fear of the Lord,
29Nihcae loe palunghahaih to hnukma o, Angraeng zithaih to qoi o ai.
30Nor consented to my counsel, but despised all my reproof.
30Ka thuih ih lok to nihcae mah tahngai o ai, ka zoehhaih loknawk boih doeh patoek o.
31Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and shall be filled with their own devices.
31To pongah nihcae mah a caeh o haih loklam ih athaih to caa o ueloe, sak han a poek o ih hmuen hoiah koi o tih.
32The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
32Poekhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe loklam amkhraeng o moe, duek o; amthu kaminawk khosakhoihaih loe angmacae amrohaih ah oh.
33But he that shall hear me, shall rest without terror, and shall enjoy abundance, without fear of evils.
33Toe ka lok tahngai kami loe ngancuem ueloe, kasae zithaih om ai ah monghaih hoiah khosah tih.
