Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1The words of king Lamuel. The vision wherewith his mother instructed him.
1Manghai Lemuel kah olka olrhuh. He nen ni amah khaw a manu loh a toel.
2What, O my beloved, what, O the beloved of my womb, what, O the beloved of my vows?
2Ka ca me tlam lae? Ka bungko lamkah ka capa me tlam lae? Ka olcaeng dong lamkah ka capa me tlam lae?
3Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings.
3Na thadueng te huta pum dongah pae tarha boeh, na longpuei te manghai rhoek aka khoe ham ni te.
4Give not to kings, O Lamuel, give not wine to kings: because there is no secret where drunkenness reigneth:
4Manghai Lemuel ham bueng moenih. Manghai rhoek loh misurtui a ok ham moenih. Boeica rhoek long khaw yu a tuep ham moenih.
5And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor.
5A ok tih a taem te a hnilh atah, phacip phabaem ca boeih kah dumlai te talh ve.
6Give strong drink to them that are sad: and wine to them that are grieved in mind:
6Yu te aka milh taengah, misur te a hinglu aka khahing taengah pae uh.
7Let them drink, and forget their want, and remember their sorrow no more.
7O saeh lamtah a khodaeng te hnilh saeh. A thakthaenah khaw koep poek boel saeh.
8Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass.
8Olmueh ham khaw, cadah cadum ca boeih kah dumlai ham khaw na ka te ong pah.
9Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor.
9Na ka te ong lamtah duengnah neh laitloek pah. Mangdaeng neh khodaeng te khaw tang sak lah.
10Who shall find a valiant woman? far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her.
10Tatthai nu he unim aka hmu? Lungvang lakah a phu khaw kuel.
11The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall have no need of spoils.
11A boei kah lungbuei khaw anih dongah pangtung tih, kutbuem khaw vaitah pawh.
12She will render him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.
12A boei te hnothen neh a thuung tih, a hing tue khuiah boethae om pawh.
13She hath sought wool and flax, and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands.
13Tumul neh hlamik a tlap tih a kut naep la a saii.
14She is like the merchant’s ship, she bringeth her bread from afar.
14thimpom sangpho bangla om tih, amah caak khaw khohla bangsang lamkah hang khuen.
15And she hath risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and victuals to her maidens.
15Khoyin ah thoo tih a imkhui ham maeh, a tanu rhoek ham hma a taeng pah.
16She hath considered a field, and bought it: with the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard.
16Khohmuen te a mangtaeng tih, amah kutci neh a lai. Misur khaw a tue rhoe la a tue coeng.
17She hath girded her loins with strength, and hath strengthened her arm.
17A cinghen te sarhi neh a yen tih, a bantha khaw a huel.
18She hath tasted and seen that her traffic is good: her lamp shall not be put out in the night.
18A thenpom kah a then te a ten tih, khoyin, khoyin ah a hmaithoi khaw thi tlaih pawh.
19She hath put out her hand to strong things, and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle.
19Cunghmui te a kut a yueng thil tih, a kutbom neh tahcap a cap.
20She hath opened her hand to the needy, and stretched out her hands to the poor.
20A kutpha loh mangdaeng a koihlawm tih, a kut te khodaeng hamla a yueng pah.
21She shall not fear for her house in the cold of snow: for all her domestics are clothed with double garments.
21A imkhui boeih loh pueinak a lingdik neh a om dongah, vuel tue ah khaw, a imkhui ham rhih voel pawh.
22She hath made for herself clothing of tapestry: fine linen, and purple is her covering.
22Hniphaih te amah ham a tah tih, a hnitang neh daidi pueinak khaw om.
23Her husband is honourable in the gates, when he sitteth among the senators of the land.
23A boei te vongka ah a ming uh tih, khohmuen kah a ham rhoek taengah a ngol sak.
24She made fine linen, and sold it, and delivered a girdle to the Chanaanite.
24Hni a tah te a yoih tih, lamko te Kanaan taengah a thak.
25Strength and beauty are her clothing, and she shall laugh in the latter day.
25Sarhi neh rhuepomnah te a pueinak nah tih, hmailong khohnin ah cupcup nuei.
26She hath opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue.
26A ka te cueihnah neh a ang tih, a lai dongah sitlohnah olkhueng om.
27She hath looked well to the paths of her house, and hath not eaten her bread idle.
27A imkhui ah rhoilaeng khaw a pai tih, thangak buh khaw ca pawh.
28Her children rose up, and called her blessed: her husband, and he praised her.
28A ca rhoek loh a thoh hang neh anih te a uem uh tih, a boei long khaw anih te a thangthen bal.
29Many daughters have gathered together riches: thou hast surpassed them all.
29Huta rhoek loh tatthai la muep a saii uh. Tedae nang long tah amih te a sola boeih na poe coeng.
30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
30Mikdaithen khaw a honghi ni. Sakthen nu khaw a honghi la om. BOEIPA a rhih dongah ni anih te a thangthen.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands: and let her works praise her in the gates.
31A kutci te amah taengah pae uh. A bibi dongah amah te vongka ah thangthen uh saeh.
