Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
1Khohal kah vuelsong neh cangah vaengkah khotlan baghui la, thangpomnah khaw hlang ang neh rhoeprhui tangloeng pawh.
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.
2Vaa a rhaehba bangla, pumpil a ding bangla, rhunkhuennah he lunglilungla la a thoeng moenih.
3A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
3Marhang ham rhuihet, laak ham kamrhui, aka ang rhoek kah a nam ham cungcik om.
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
4Hlang ang kah a anglat te doo boeh, namah khaw anih bangla na om ve.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
5Hlang ang te a anglat bangla a doo dae, a mikhmuh ah hlang cueih la om hae mahpawh.
6He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
6Hlang ang kut ah ol aka pat tah a kho a kuet tih kuthlahnah aka mam la om.
7As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
7Aka khaem kah a kho sut a bat banghui la, hlang ang rhoek ka kah thuidoeknah he khaw om.
8As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8Hlang ang taengah thangpomnah paek he, payai dongah lungto mop banghui la om tangloeng.
9As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9Hlang ang ka kah thuidoeknah he khaw yurhui kut dongah aka pha mutlo hling bangla om.
10Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
10Hlang ang aka paang boeih khaw aka cetpaitai a paang tih lithen a poeih banghui la om.
11As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
11Ui loh a lok a paan banghui la hlang ang loh a anglat te a khoep.
12Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
12Hlang he amah mikhmuh ah tah aka cueih la na hmuh. Anih lakah hlang ang ham ngaiuepnah om ta.
13The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
13Kolhnaw loh, “Longpuei ah sathueng ca, toltung ah sathueng om,” a ti.
14As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
14thohkhaih loh thohrhui dongah a tinghil bangla, kolhnaw khaw amah thingkong dongah suvaih.
15The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
15Kolhnaw loh bael dongah a kut a puei te, a ka dongla koep a khuen ham pataeng a ngak.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
16Kolhnaw he amah mikhmuh ah tah, omih neh aka thuung hlang parhih lakah aka cueih la ngai uh.
17As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.
17Amah hut pawt ah tuituknah khuiah aka kun khaw, aka cetpaitai loh ui hna a doek banghui la om.
18As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
18Thaltang neh dueknah hmaipom aka dong loh hlang a khah bangla,
19So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
19A hui aka phok hlang van loh, “Ka luem mailai moenih a?,” a ti.
20When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
20Thing a tlum atah hmai a thi bangla a thet pawt daengah ni olpungkacan a paa.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
21Hmai-alh dongah hmaisa-aek, hmai dongah thing a pup vanbangla, hohmuhnah neh olpungkacan aka saii hlang loh tuituknah a puek sak.
22The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
22Thet ol he didii tih bungko khui la suntla.
23Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
23Lungbuei thae neh a lai hmai la aka alh tah, paikaek dongkah cakhli a ben banghui ni.
24An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
24A hmuilai dongkah a hmuhuet te a ka dongah loha coeng dae, a khui kah hlangthai palat te a thuh bal pueng.
25When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
25A ol tah rhen koemboei la om dae, anih te tangnah boeh. A lungbuei ah tueilaehkoi parhih om.
26He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
26hmuhuetnah te thailainah neh dah cakhaw, hlangping taengah a boethae ni a yan eh.
27He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
27Vaam aka vuet khaw amah loh a cungku thil vetih, lungto aka palet khaw amah soah koep mael ni.
28A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
28Laithae ol loh amah aka hnaep aka hnap te a hmuhuet tih, a ka aka hnal khaw a ponah ni a saii.
