Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
1Palunghahaih mah im tung sarihto a aah moe, ohhaih im to a sak;
2She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
2angmah pacah ih moinawk to a boh; misurtui to a lawn moe, caboi to pahnut.
3She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
3A tok sahkung tanglanawk to patoeh moe, vangpui kasang koek ahmuen ah angdoet pacoengah, a hangh.
4Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
4Poekhaih tawn kaminawk haeah angzo oh; khokhan thai ai kaminawk anih khaeah angzo oh, tiah a kawk,
5Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
5angzo oh, kai ih takaw hae caa oh loe, ka lawn tangcae misurtui hae nae oh.
6Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.
6Na hing hanah, khosak amthuhaih to caeh taak ah loe, palunghahaih loklam to pazui ah.
7He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
7Kami tiah doeh sah ai kami thuitaekung loe azathaih to tongh moe, kahoih ai kami thuitaekkung doeh kasae thuihaih to tong lat.
8Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
8Kami pahnui thuih kami to zoeh hmah, na hnuma lat tih; palungha kami to na zoeh nahaeloe, na palung tih.
9Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it.
9Palungha kami na thuitaek nahaeloe, palungha aep tih; katoeng kami to na patuk nahaeloe, anih amtukhaih to sang aep tih.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.
10Angraeng zithaih loe palungha amtonghaih takung pui ah oh; ciimcai Sithaw panoekhaih loe palunghahaih ah oh.
11For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
11Kai rang hoiah na hinglung sawk ueloe, na hinghaih saning to pop tih.
12If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.
12Palung na ha nahaeloe palunghahaih atho to na hnu tih; toe minawk khet na patoek nahaeloe, nangmah na zok tih.
13A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all,
13Amthu nongpata ih lok loe ham; anih loe poekhaih tawn ai moe, panoekhaih tidoeh tawn ai.
14Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city,
14Anih loe angmah im thok taengah anghnut moe, vangpui kasang koek ahmuen ah anghnut,
15To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey:
15katoeng loklam caeh kaminawk to a kawk;
16He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said:
16poekhaih tawn ai kaminawk khaeah athung bangah angzo oh, tiah a naa; khokhan thai ai kaminawk khaeah loe,
17Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant.
17paquk ih tui loe luep, tamquta hoi caak ih takaw loe khraem, tiah a naa.
18And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
18Toe to ahmuen ah loe duekhaih to oh, nongpata mah kawk ih kaminawk loe duekhaih hell thungah ni oh o, tiah nongpa mah panoek ai. p
