1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,
1Ka capa, kang thuih ih lok to na tahngaih moe, kang paek ih loknawk palung thungah na pakuem nahaeloe,
2That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence:
2palunghahaih bangah na naa to patuengh loe, panoekhaih bangah na palung to paek ah;
3For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:
3ue, panoekhaih hnuk hanah na hangh, panoek thai hanah tha hoiah na hangh moe,
4If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:
4sumkanglung pakrong baktiah na pakrong pacoengah, hawk ih hmuen baktiah na pakrong nahaeloe,
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.
5Angraeng zithaih to na panoek ueloe, Sithaw palunghahaih to na hnu tih.
6Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.
6Angraeng mah palunghahaih to paek, palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih loe anih pakha hoiah ni tacawt.
7He will keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity.
7Katoeng kaminawk hanah palughahaih to paek moe, toenghaih hoiah lamcaeh kaminawk hanah anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
8Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints.
8Katoeng kaminawk caehhaih loklam to anih mah toep moe, oepthok angmah ih kaminawk to pakaa.
9Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.
9To tiah ni toenghaih, katoengah lokcaekhaih, kangvan ah lok takroekhaih to na panoek ueloe, kahoih loklamnawk to na panoek tih.
10If wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge please thy soul:
10Palunghahaih mah na palungthin to paongh naah, panoekhaih loe na pakhra anghoesakkung ah om tih.
11Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,
11Panoekthaihaih mah na pakaa ueloe, na panoekhaih mah na toep tih;
12That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:
12palunghahaih mah loe toenghaih loklam amkhraeng taak kami, vinghaih thungah caeh kami, kahoih ai kami caehhaih loklam hoi katoengah lokthui ai kami ih ban thung hoiah pahlong tih;
13Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:
no verse 13 in this text
14Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:
14hmuensae sakhaih bangah kanawm panoek moe, kasae kaminawk mah sak ih katoeng ai hmuen ah kanawm acaeng kami,
15Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.
15toenghaih loklam ah caeh ai, loklam kangkoih ah caeh kaminawk ban thung hoiah pahlong ueloe,
16That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:
16zaehaih sak koeh nongpata, kami zoek thaih nongpata khae hoiah doeh pahlong tih;
17And forsaketh the guide of her youth,
17to baktih nongpata loe tangla nathuem ah thuitaekhaih lok to pahnawt moe, a Sithaw hmaa ah sak ih lokmaihaih pahnet ving kami ah oh.
18And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.
18To nongpata ih im loe duekhaih bangah laemh tathuk moe, kadueh kami pakhranawk caehhaih loklam bangah a caeh.
19None that go in unto her shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life,
19Anih khaeah caeh kaminawk boih loe, mi doeh amlaem o ai boeh, hinghaih loklam doeh hnu o ai.
20That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of the just.
20Nang loe kahoih kaminawk ih loklam to pazui ah loe, katoeng kaminawk ih loklam ah caeh poe ah.
21For they that are upright shall dwell in the earth, and the simple shall continue in it.
21Katoeng kami loe prae thungah khosah ueloe, coek koi om ai kami loe to prae thungah om poe tih,
22But the wicked shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do unjustly shall be taken away from it.
22toe kasae kaminawk loe prae thungah om o thai mak ai, zaehaih sah kaminawk loe prae thung hoiah haek o ving tih.
