1My son, forget not my law, and let thy heart keep my commandments.
1Ka capa, kang patukhaih lok hae pahnet hmah, kang paek ih lok hae palung thungah pakuem ah;
2For they shall add to thee length of days, and years of life and peace.
2nang hanah hing sawkhaih hoi monghaih na paek tih.
3Let not mercy and truth leave thee, put them about thy neck, and write them in the tables of thy heart:
3Tahmenhaih hoi loktang to caeh taak hmah; nangmah ih tahnong ah a oih ah loe, na palung cabu pongah tarik ah:
4And thou shalt And grace and good understanding before God and men.
4to tih nahaeloe Sithaw hmaa hoi kami hmaa ah mikhmai hnu ueloe, ahmin hoihaih na hnu tih.
5Have confidence in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon thy own prudence.
5Na palungthin boih hoi Angraeng oephaih to tawn ah; na panoekhaih pongah amha hmah.
6In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.
6Na caehhaih loklam kruekah anih to panoek ah, to tih nahaeloe na caehhaih loklam na hnusak tih.
7I Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:
7Na mikhnuk ah palungha baktiah om hmah; Angraeng to zii ah loe, hmuensae to caeh taak ah.
8For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.
8To tih nahaeloe na thaquinawk ngantui o ueloe, na huhnawk doeh thacak o tih.
9Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:
9Na tawnh ih hmuen, thingthai tangsuek hoiah Angraeng to pakoeh ah:
10And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.
10to tiah na sak nahaeloe nang ih tapupnawk cang hoiah koi amthlai o ueloe, misurtui suekhaih muroihnawk doeh misurtui kangtha hoiah koi amthlai o tih.
11My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint when thou art chastised by him:
11Ka capa, Angraeng thuitaekhaih to patoek hmah; ang zoehhaih lok pongah doeh palung naa hmah:
12For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.
12palung ih capa loe ampa mah thuitaek baktih toengah, Angraeng mah palung ih kami loe thuitaek ah oh.
13Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom and is rich in prudence:
13Palunghahaih pakrong moe, panoekhaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
14The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:
14Palunghahaih loe sumkanglung pongah atho oh kue moe, sui pongah doeh hoih kue.
15She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.
15Atho kaom thlung kathim pongah doeh atho nat kue, na koeh ih hmuennawk boih hoiah doeh patah thai ai.
16Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
16A bantang bangah hingsawkhaih to a suek, banqoi bangah loe angraenghaih hoi khingyahaih to a suek.
17Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceable.
17Palunghahaih loklam loe nawm moe, a caehhaih loklamnawk boih ah monghaih to oh.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and he that shall retain her is blessed.
18Palunghahaih loe palunghahaih patawn kami hanah hinghaih thingkung ah oh; palunghahaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
19The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, hath established the heavens by prudence.
19Angraeng mah long hae palunghahaih hoiah ni sak; vannawk doeh panoekhaih hoiah a suek.
20By his wisdom the depths have broken out, and the clouds grow thick with dew.
20Kathuk parai tuipuinawk to a palunghahaih hoiah tapraek moe, tamai thung hoiah dantuinawk to a kraksak.
21My son, let not these things depart from thy eyes: keep the law and counsel:
21Ka capa, palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih to na hmaa hoiah amkhraengsak ving hmah; pakuem poe ah.
22And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.
22To tiah na sak nahaeloe na pakhra hinghaih ah om ueloe, na tahnong kranghoihaih bungmu ah om tih.
23Then shalt thou walk confidently in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble:
23Kholong caeh naah raihaih na tawn mak ai; khok doeh na pathuih mak ai.
24If thou sleep, thou shalt not fear: thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
24Na iih naah zithaih na tawn mak ai; ue, kahnaep ah na iip thai tih.
25Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the power of the wicked falling upon thee.
25Tasoehhaih na tawn mak ai, kahoih ai kaminawk mah parohaih doeh na tong mak ai.
26For the Lord will be at thy side, and will keep thy foot that thou be not taken.
26Angraeng loe nam haahaih ah om ueloe, dongh pongah amanh han ai ah na khoknawk to patawn tih.
27Do not withhold him from doing good, who is able: if thou art able, do good thyself also.
27Na ban ah sakthaihaih na tawnh naah, kahoih hmuen sak pae han krak, tiah na poek ih kami nuiah kahoih hmuen to sah ai ah om hmah.
28Say not to thy friend: Go, and come again: and tomorrow I will give to thee: when thou canst give at present.
28Na imtaeng kami han paek koi hmuen na tawnh, toe anih khaeah vaihi loe amlaem raeh, khawnbang nang zoh let naah kang paek han hmang, tiah thui hmah.
29Practise not evil against thy friend, when he hath confidence in thee.
29Nang oephaih hoiah khosah na imtaeng kami khaeah, kasae sak han atim hmah.
30Strive not against a man without cause, when he hath done thee no evil.
30Na nuiah sethaih sah ai kami to, tidoeh na ai ah zoeh hmah.
31Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:
31Pacaekthlaek kami ih hmuen to ut hmah loe, a caehhaih loklam to awt hmah.
32For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.
32Poek angkawnh kaminawk loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe poektoeng kaminawk loe angmah hoi nawnto angkomhaih to a sak.
33Want is from the Lord in the house of the wicked: but the habitations of the just shall be blessed.
33Angraeng tangoenghaih loe kahoih ai kaminawk imthung ah phak, toe katoeng kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen loe Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek.
34He shall scorn the scorners, and to the meek he will give grace.
34Minawk pahnui thuih kami to anih mah pahnui thuih toeng, toe kami tlim ah khosah kaminawk khaeah loe tahmenhaih to a paek.
35The wise shall possess glory: the promotion of fools is disgrace.
35Palungha kaminawk loe lensawkhaih to toepsak; toe amthu kaminawk loe azatsak.
