1The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
1Israel manghai David capa Solomon kah he,
2To know wisdom, and instruction:
2cueihnah ming sak ham neh ol yakmingnah te yakming sak ham thuituennah la om.
3To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity:
3Thuituennah la loh ham neh duengnah, tiktamnah neh vanatnah te aka cangbam sak la om.
4To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding.
4Camoe hlangyoe taengah mingnah neh thuepnah, khinglangnah aka pae la om.
5A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments.
5Aka cueih loh hnatun saeh lamtah rhingtuknah la thap thil saeh, aka yakming loh a niing la hol saeh.
6He shall understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings.
6Aka cueih rhoek kah, nuettahnah olka neh amih kah olkael aka yakming sak la om.
7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
7BOEIPA hinyahnah tah cueihnah, mingnah a tongnah la om tih aka ang loh thuituennah a hnoelrhoeng.
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
8Ka ca aw na pa kah thuituennah he hnatun lamtah na nu kah olkhueng khaw tloeng sut boeh.
9That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck.
9Te te na lu ham mikdaithen kah lukhueng neh na rhawn ham oi la om.
10My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them.
10Ka ca nang te hlangtholh rhoek loh n'hloih cakhaw rhoih boeh.
11If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause:
11“Kaimih taengah pongpa lamtah hlang thii te rhongngol thil sih, ommongsitoe te a tloengtlaih la dawn sih.
12Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit.
12Amih te saelkhui bangla a hing la dolh sih lamtah tangrhom ah a pum la a cungpung bangla om saeh.
13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils.
13A boei a rhaeng boeih neh a phu aka tlo te n'dang uh vetih mamih im he kutbuem neh m'baetawt sak mako.
14Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse.
14Na hmulung te kaimih lakli ah naan lamtah mamih boeih ham sungsa pakhat la om saeh,” a ti uh atah,
15My son, walk not thou with them, restrain thy foot from their paths.
15Ka ca aw, amih kah longpuei ah cet boel lamtah na kho te amih kah a hawn lamloh hoi lah.
16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
16Amih kah a kho tah boethae hamla cungpoeh uh tih thii long sak ham loe uh.
17But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings.
17Vaa phae boeih kah a hmaiah a tloengtlaih la lawk a tung uh.
18And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls.
18Amih loh amamih kah a thii te a rhongngol thil uh tih a hinglu te a mae uh.
19So the wage of every covetous man destroy the souls of the possessors.
19Mueluemnah dongah aka mueluem boeih kah a khosing te tah a boei kah a hinglu ni a rhawt pah.
20Wisdom preacheth abroad, she uttereth her voice in the streets:
20Cueihnah tah vongvoel ah tamhoe tih toltung ah a ol a huel.
21At the head of multitudes she crieth out, in the entrance of the gates of the city she uttereth her words, saying:
21Thohka ah aka kawk rhoek kah a lu ah a pang pah tih khopuei vongka ah ol a thui.
22O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?
22Hlangyoe nang loh mevaeng hil nim hlangyoe na lungnah ve, hmuiyoi rhoek tah amamih kah saipaat dongah naep uh tih, aka ang rhoek loh mingnah te a hmuhuet uh.
23Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words.
23Ka toelthamnah he mael thil lah, ka mueihla he nang hamla kan thaa saeh lamtah ka ol he khaw nang kam ming sak eh.
24Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded.
24Kang khue vaengah na aal uh tih ka kut kan cavaih vaengah nim te hnatung uh pawh.
25You have despised all my counsel, and have neglected my reprehensions.
25Kai kah cilsuep boeih te na dul uh tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw na ngaih uh pawh.
26I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared.
26Kai khaw nangmih kah rhainah te ka nueih thil vetih nangmih ah birhihnah a thoeng vaengah kan tamdaeng ni.
27When sudden calamity shall fall on you, and destruction, as a tempest, shall be at hand: when tribulation and distress shall come upon you:
27Nangmih kah birhihnah tah khohli rhamrhael bangla ha pawk vetih na rhainah loh cangpalam bangla halo vaengah, citcai neh khobing loh nangmih te m'paan vaengah,
28Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning and shall not find me:
28Kai ng'khue uh cakhaw ka doo mahpawh, kai n'toem uh cakhaw m'hmu uh bal mahpawh.
29Because they have hated instruction and received not the fear of the Lord,
29Te yueng te mingnah a hmuhuet uh tih BOEIPA kah hinyahnah te tuek uh pawh.
30Nor consented to my counsel, but despised all my reproof.
30Kai cilsuep dongah naep uh pawt tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw boeih a tlaitlaek uh.
31Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and shall be filled with their own devices.
31A khosing kah a thaih te a caak uh vetih a cilkhih loh a lawn uh bitni.
32The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
32Hlangyoe hnuknong loh amih te a ngawn vetih aka ang kah ommongnah loh amih te a milh sak ni.
33But he that shall hear me, shall rest without terror, and shall enjoy abundance, without fear of evils.
33Tedae kai taengah aka hnatun long tah ngaikhuek la kho a sak vetih yoethae kah birhihnah khuiah khaw rhalthal van ni.
