1My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence.
1Ka capa, ka palunghahaih lok hae tahngaih loe, ka panoekhaih to pakuem ah;
2That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman.
2to tih nahaeloe hmuen panoekhaih na tawn ueloe, na pahni mah panoekhaih to pakuem tih.
3For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.
3Zaehaih sak koeh nongpata ih pahni loe khoitui baktiah long moe, a thuih ih lok doeh situi pongah amnae kue;
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.
4toe anih boenghaih loe ahmuet baktiah khaa moe, haa hnetto kaom sumsen baktiah noet.
5Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.
5Anih ih khoknawk loe duekhaih bangah anghum tathuk moe, a caehhaih loklam doeh hell ah akunh.
6They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable.
6Anih loe hinghaih loklam to poek ai, a caehhaih loklamnawk loe cak ai, loklam doeh panoek ai.
7Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
7To pongah ka caanawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; ka thuih ih lok hae angqoi o taak hmah.
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.
8To nongpata to kangthla ah caeh o taak ah loe, a im ih thok taengah doeh caeh o hmah;
9Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.
9to tih ai nahaeloe pakoeh ah na ohhaih to minawk khaeah paek ving ueloe, na hinghaih saningnawk doeh tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk khaeah na paek ving moeng tih;
10Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man’s house,
10nang ih hmuenmae hoiah kalah kaminawk ih zok to koi lat ueloe, toksak hoiah na hak ih hmuennawk to minawk im ah cawn ving tih.
11And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say:
11Na takpum hoi na ngan to qongh naah, palungset hoiah na om sut tih,
12Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,
12to naah kawbangmaw thuitaekhaih to ka hnukma moe, zoehhaih lok doeh ka palung mah patoek boeh;
13And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters?
13kai patukkungnawk ih lok to ka tahngai ai, nihcae mah patuk ih loknawk doeh ka tahngai ai.
14I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation.
14Kai loe amkhueng kaminawk salakah kasae kami ah ni ka oh boeh, tiah na thui tih.
15Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:
15Nangmah ih tui tabu thung ih tui to nae ah loe, nangmah ih tuikhaw thung ih tui to nae ah.
16Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters.
16Na tuipuek to ahmuen kruekah long nasoe, vapui tuinawk baktiah loklam boih ah longsak ah.
17Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.
17Nangmah han khue long nasoe, minawk kalah han pazet hmah.
18Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth:
18Na tuipuek loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe loe, na thendoeng nathuem ih zu hoiah kanawm ah khosah ah.
19Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times; he thou delighted continually with her love.
19Anih loe palung koi kaom tasuk amno, koeh koi kaom tasuk baktiah om nasoe loe, anih ih tahnu mah na koehhaih to koepsak poe nasoe; ang palunghaih mah na palung to dipsak nasoe.
20Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another?
20Ka capa, tipongah zaehaih sak koeh nongpata to na koeh moe, tangzat zaw nongpata to na takoih loe?
21The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps.
21Kami caehhaih loklamnawk loe Angraeng hmaa ah ni oh, a caehhaih loklamnawk boih Angraeng mah hnuk pae.
22His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.
22Kasae kami loe a sakpazaehaih hmuen pongah aman ueloe, a zaehaih quinawk mah anih to zaeng caeng tih.
23He shall die, because he hath not received instruction, and in the multitude of his folly he shall be deceived.
23Anih amthuhaih loe nung parai pongah anih loe loklam amkhraeng ving ueloe, thuitaekhaih om ai ah dueh tih.
