Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence.
1Ka ca aw, ka cueihnah he hnatung lamtah ka lungcuei dongla na hna kaeng lah.
2That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman.
2Thuepnah neh mingnah te ngaithuen hamla na hmuilai long khaw tuem uh saeh.
3For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.
3Rhalawt nu kah a hmuilai ah khoilitui cip tih a lai khaw situi lakah hnal.
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.
4Tedae hmailong ah tah anih te pantong bangla khahing tih cunghang paihat bangla haat.
5Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.
5A kho te dueknah khuila suntla tih a khokan loh saelkhui la a doek.
6They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable.
6Hingnah caehlong lakah a ming pawh a namtlak likloek te saelh ve ne.
7Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
7Te dongah ka ca rhoek kai ol he hnatun uh laeh, ka ka dongkah olthui te nong tak boeh.
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.
8Na longpuei te anih neh lakhla sak lamtah a im thohka lam khaw mop boeh.
9Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.
9Na mueithennah te a tloe taengla ham pae vetih na kum muenying muenyang la hang khueh ve.
10Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man’s house,
10Na thadueng te rhalawt rhoek cung uh vetih na patangnah phu te kholong imkhui la pawk ve.
11And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say:
11Na hmailong ah na nguek vetih na pum na saa khaw hmawn hae ni.
12Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,
12Te vaengah, “Thuituennah te ka hmuhuet tih toelthamnah khaw ka lungbuei loh a tlaitlaek pai.
13And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters?
13Ka saya ol te ka hnatun pawh kai aka cang puei taengah khaw ka hna ka kaeng pawh.
14I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation.
14Hlangping neh rhaengpuei lakli kah boethae sumsiit te vat ka pha,” na ti hae ni
15Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:
15Na tuitung dongkah tui neh na tuito lamtah aka sih te o.
16Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters.
16Na tuisih te kawtpoeng ah, sokca tui te toltung ah phuet saeh.
17Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.
17Nang namah bueng hamla om saeh lamtah na taengkah kholong ham boel saeh.
18Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth:
18Na thunsih te yoethen la om saeh lamtah na camoe kah na yuu dongah kohoe sak.
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 tah sayuk rhuinu lunguem bangla, a sukbam te sakhi rhuinu mikdaithen bangla a tuetang boeih ah nang te m'hmilhmal sak saeh lamtah a lungnah loh m'palang sak yoeyah saeh.
20Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another?
20Ba ham lae ka ca loh rhalawt la na palang vetih kholong kah a rhang te na kop eh.
21The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps.
21Hlang kah longpuei neh a namtlak boeih a saelh te khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah om.
22His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.
22Halang te amah kathaesainah loh amah te a tuuk tih a tholhnah rhui loh a ban.
23He shall die, because he hath not received instruction, and in the multitude of his folly he shall be deceived.
23Anih thuituennah a om pawt dongah duek vetih a anglat aih dongah palang ni.
