1My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, thou hast engaged fast thy hand to a stranger.
1Ka capa, nam pui ih laiba pathok pae hanah lokkamhaih to na sak moe, minawk kalah abomh hanah lokkamhaih na sak moeng pongah,
2Thou art ensnared with the words of thy mouth, and caught with thy own words.
2na thuih ih lok pongah na manh moe, na pakha hoi tacawt lok mah na naeh moeng nahaeloe,
3Do therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up thy friend:
3ka capa, nam pui ih ban thungah na krakhaih hoiah na loih thai hanah hae tiah sah ah; nam pui khaeah, Caeh loe, poeknaemhaih hoiah anih tlim ah om paeh; nam pui ban thung hoi loih thai hanah tahmenhaih hni ah.
4Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber.
4Na mik to iipsak hmah loe, angamsak hmah.
5Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
5Moi kat kami ih ban thung hoiah kaloih tasuk baktih, dongh patung kami ih ban thung hoiah kaloih tavaa baktiah nangmah hoi nangmah to loih ah.
6Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:
6Nang thasae kami, cahmat khaeah caeh ah, a caehhaih loklamnawk to khen ah loe, palungha ah;
7Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,
7cahmat loe lam patuekkung hoi thuitaekkung tawn ai, ukkung doeh tawn ai,
8Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
8toe anih loe nipui tue hoi caang aah tue ah rawkcak to patung.
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?
9Aw thasae kami, nasetto maw na iih han vop? Natuek naah maw iihhaih ahmuen hoiah nang thawk han?
10Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:
10Atue setta thungah na iih moe, atue setta thungah na ngam, nawnetta thung nang hak moe, na ban pakhuem duem nathung ah;
11And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.
11kholong caeh kami baktiah amtanghaih mah na patom ueloe, vawthaih mah maiphaw sin kami baktiah na patom tih.
12A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,
12Kasae kami hoi amram aak kami loe lok amlai hoiah ni khosak o;
13He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.
13minawk aling hanah mikpakhrip thuih, khok hoiah angmathaih a paek moe, banpazungnawk hoiah patuk o;
14With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.
14anih loe palung thungah alinghaih to koi moe, kahoih ai poekhaih to vaa thai ai, maeto hoi maeto misa angcoengsak hanah a poek.
15To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.
15To pongah nihcae loe poek ai pui hoi amrohaih mah pha thui tih; abuephaih om ai ah nawnetta thung amro tih.
16Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:
16Angraeng mah hnukma ih hmuen tarukto oh; ue, panuet thok hmuen sarihto oh;
17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
17amoek kami ih mik tamdai, amsawnlok thui thaih palai, zaehaih tawn ai kami humhaih ban,
18A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,
18kasae poekhaih palungthin, hmuesae sakhaih bangah caeh karang khok,
19A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren.
19amsawnlok pongah hnukungah kaom, nawkamya poek amkhraeng han sah kaminawk hae ni.
20My son, beep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
20Ka capa, nam pa lokpaekhaih to pakuemh loe, nam no patukhaih doeh pahnawt hmah;
21Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.
21na palung thungah zaeng ah loe, na tahnong ah kom caeng ah.
22When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.
22Na caehhaih loklam to anih mah patuek tih; na iih naah na toep ueloe, nang lawt naah, lok na thui tih.
23Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
23Lokpaekhaih loe hmaithaw ah oh; patukhaih lok loe aanghaih ah oh; zae thuitaekhaih loe hinghaih loklam ah oh.
24That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger.
24Kahoih ai nongpata, lok hoiah minawk kazoek thaih nongpata khae hoiah na pakaa tih.
25Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:
25Nongpata kranghoihaih to khit hmah, a mik pakhriphaih pongah aman hmah.
26For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.
26Tangyat zawhhaih hoiah takaw kae maeto ni qan thai tih; sava laep ah zaehaih sah nongpata loe atho kana hinghaih to amrosak thaih.
27Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?
27Kami mah angmah ih saoek hmai hoi thlaek naah, angmah ih laihaw to hmai mah kangh mak ai maw?
28Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?
28Kami mah hmai nuiah caeh naah, a khok to hmai mah kangh mak ai maw?
29So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her.
29Na imtaeng kami ih zu khaeah caeh kami doeh to tiah oh; mi kawbaktih doeh to nongpata sui kami loe, zaehaih hoiah loih thai ai.
30The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul:
30Zok amthlam pongah zok amthlamhaih dipsak hanah paqu kami loe, mi mah doeh kasae thui mak ai.
31And if he be taken he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house.
31Kamqu to naeh naah alet sarihto pathoksak moe, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih paeksak han oh.
32But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul:
32Toe zu laep ah nongpata hoi zaehaih sah kami loe, poekhaih tawn ai kami ah ni oh; to kami loe a hinghaih amrosak kami ah oh.
33He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out:
33Anih to bop o tih, a nuiah khingyahaih tawn o mak ai; anih kasae thuihaih loe boeng thai mak ai.
34Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge,
34Zu nuiah palung haenghaih mah sava to palungphuisak; to pongah danpaekhaih tue phak naah tahmenhaih roe tawn mak ai.
35Nor will he yield to any man’s prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts.
35Kawbaktih ronghaih phoisa doeh koeh mak ai, tangqum paroeai paek cadoeh palungphui dip mak ai.
