Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,
1Ka ca ka olthui he ngaithuen lamtah ka olpaek he na taengah khoem ne.
2Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye:
2Ka olpaek he ngaithuen lamtah hing puei. Ka olkhueng he na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih la om saeh.
3Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.
3Te te na kutdawn dongah hlaengtang lamtah na lungbuei cabael dongah daek lah.
4Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,
4Cueihnah te, “Ka ngannu nang tah,” ti nah lamtah yakmingnah te pacaboeina la khue.
5That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words.
5Rhalawt nu taeng lamkah khaw, kholong nu kah hoem ol lamkah khaw namah aka ngaithuen ham ni.
6For I look out of the window of my house through the lattice,
6Ka im bangbuet kah thohhuel long ka dan.
7And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,
7Te vaengah hlangyoe rhoek te ka hmuh tih cadong ca rhoek khuiah a lungbuei aka talh khaw ka yakming.
8Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house.
8Huta imdak kah bangkil te a paan tih huta im kah longpuei la luei.
9In the dark, when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night,
9Hlaemhmah ah, khothun kholaeh ah, khoyin yinthuem neh khohmuep ah khaw, cet.
10And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot’s attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering,
10Anih aka doe ham huta ngawn tah pumyoi hnisui neh a lungbuei a uep coeng ke.
11Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home,
11Tekah huta tah hue a sak tih a im ah khaw a thinthah. A khopha khaw duem pawh.
12Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners.
12Tahae nawn ah imkawt ah, tahae ah toltung neh bangkil takuem ah rhongngol coeng.
13And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying:
13Tekah cadong te a sol tih a mok, a maelhmai khaw a cadong ham a tanglue pah tih cadong te,
14I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.
14Kamah taengkah rhoepnah hmueih neh tihnin ah tah ka olcaeng te ka thuung coeng.
15Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee.
15Te dongah nang doe ham neh na mikhmuh ah toem hamla ka mop tih nang kam hmuh tangloeng.
16I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.
16Ka soengca te Egypt hnitang, cenlang, hniphaih neh ka phaih coeng.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17Ka thingkong dongah murrah, thingul, thingsa ka khueh thil coeng.
18Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear.
18Halo lah a hlo neh mincang duela hmilhmal sih lamtah, pumnai neh yoka sih.
19For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey.
19Tongpa loh a im ah om pawt tih khohla ah yiin la cet coeng.
20He took with him a bag of money: he mill return home the day of the full moon.
20A kut dongah tangka cun a khuen tih hlalum hnin ah ni a im la ha pawk eh?,” a ti.
21She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips.
21Anih te a rhingtuknah cungkuem neh a yoek tih a hmuilai kah hamsum neh a heh.
22Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,
22Te dongah huta hnukah maeh la aka poeh vaito bangla, aka ang thuituennah dongkah khocin rhui bangla cet.
23Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.
23Vaa loh pael khuila a kun paitok bangla a thin te thaltang loh a khoh pah duela a hinglu te ming pawh.
24Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
24Te dongah ca rhoek loh kai ol he hnatun uh lamtah ka ka dongkah olthui he hnatung uh laeh.
25Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths.
25Anih kah longpuei la mael boeh, na lungbuei te anih kah a hawn la khohmang sak boeh.
26For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.
26Anih loh hmalaem la muep a cungku sak tih aka tlung rhoek khaw boeih a ngawn coeng.
27Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
27A im khaw saelkhui longpuei ah om tih dueknah imkhui la suntla pai.
