Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
1Nipui tue ih dantui baktih, cang aah tue ah angzo khotui baktiah, kamthu to pakoeh han hoih ai.
2As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
2Takung om ai ah kasae thuihaih loe ahmuen kruekah kamhet parit caa hoi anghak ai ah azawk pungpae baktiah ni oh.
3A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
3Quiboeng hoiah hrang to boh moe, sum hoiah laa hrang ih tahmawh moem pae baktih toengah, kamthu to cung hoiah bop ah.
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
4Kamthu to amthuhaih baktiah pathok hmah; na pathok nahaeloe nang doeh kamthu baktiah ni na om tih.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
5Kamthu ih lok to na pathim nahaeloe, a mik hnukah palungha kami ah poek moeng tih.
6He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
6Kamthu khaeah pat ih lok loe a khok to takroek pat moe, amrohaih tui naek baktiah ni oh.
7As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
7Kamthu pakha pong ih palunghahaih lok loe, adue ai khokkhaem kami ih khok baktiah oh.
8As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8Kamthu pakoeh kami loe, ngazai pongah lawkthluem moep sut baktiah ni oh.
9As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9Kamthu pakha pong ih palunghahaih lok loe soekhring mah thun ih mu paqui ban baktiah ni oh.
10Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
10Kalen Sithaw mah hmuen boih to sak; kamthu hoi zaehaih sah kami hanah doeh toksakhaih atho to paek boih.
11As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
11Ui mah angmah ih tamlok to caak let baktiah, kamthu loe angmah amthuhaih thungah amlaem let.
12Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
12Angmah hoi angmah palungha kami ah poek kami to na hnuk maw? To kami pongah loe kamthu to oepthoh kue.
13The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
13Thasae kami mah loe loklam ah kaipui oh; loklam ah hmawsaeng kaipui oh, tiah thuih.
14As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
14Thok loe takhing ih sum nuiah angbang baktih toengah, thasae kami doeh angmah ih iihkhun nuiah angbet caeng.
15The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
15Thasae kami loe laom thungah ban to tapawh boeh, toe pakha ah buh abah hanah paqak.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
16Thasae kami loe khopoek thaih kami sarihto pongah, angmah hoi angmah to palungha kue ah poek.
17As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.
17Lamcaeh naah angmah hoi asaenghaih om ai angzoehhaih pongah kathum kami loe, ui naa patawn caeng kami hoiah anghmong.
18As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
18Tamhnuilok ni ka thuih, tiah thuih moe, a imtaeng kami aling kami loe kangqong hmai vah ih baktih, duekhaih phasak kalii kaat kamthu hoiah anghmong.
19So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
no verse 19 in this text
20When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
20Thing om ai pongah hmai to duek; pronghaih lok kaom ai ahmuen ah loe, angzoehhaih to om ai.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
21Hmaisaae to amngaeh moe, thing angqong baktih toengah, angzoeh koeh kami mah lok pungsak thaih.
22The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
22Pronghaih lok loe kahoih caaknaek baktiah, kami ih takpum thungah akun.
23Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
23Lok loe hoih, toe poeksae palungthin loe anui ah rong nok dui ih long laom baktiah oh.
24An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
24Minawk hnuma kami loe pahni hoiah kahoih hmuen to thuih, toe a palung thungah loe alinghaih hoiah koi.
25When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
25Anih mah thuih ih lok loe hoih, toe tang hmah; anih ih palung thungah panuet thok hmuen sarihto oh.
26He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
26Anih mah hnukmahaih to alinghaih hoiah kraeng khoep, toe anih sethaih to minawk hmaa ah angphong let tih.
27He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
27Qumqai kami loe angmah qumqaih ih tangqom thungah krah tih; thlung palet kami doeh a palet ih thlung to angmah nuiah amlet let tih.
28A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
28Amsawnlok thui palai loe angmah pacaekthlaek ih kami to hnukma; lokcaep thaih pakha mah kami to amrosak.
