1Israel manghai David capa Solomon kah he,
1These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,
2cueihnah ming sak ham neh ol yakmingnah te yakming sak ham thuituennah la om.
2for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,
3Thuituennah la loh ham neh duengnah, tiktamnah neh vanatnah te aka cangbam sak la om.
3and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.
4Camoe hlangyoe taengah mingnah neh thuepnah, khinglangnah aka pae la om.
4To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,
5Aka cueih loh hnatun saeh lamtah rhingtuknah la thap thil saeh, aka yakming loh a niing la hol saeh.
5let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel
6Aka cueih rhoek kah, nuettahnah olka neh amih kah olkael aka yakming sak la om.
6by understanding the proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7BOEIPA hinyahnah tah cueihnah, mingnah a tongnah la om tih aka ang loh thuituennah a hnoelrhoeng.
7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
8Ka ca aw na pa kah thuituennah he hnatun lamtah na nu kah olkhueng khaw tloeng sut boeh.
8Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
9Te te na lu ham mikdaithen kah lukhueng neh na rhawn ham oi la om.
9For they are a garland of grace on your head and a pendant around your neck.
10Ka ca nang te hlangtholh rhoek loh n'hloih cakhaw rhoih boeh.
10My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.
11“Kaimih taengah pongpa lamtah hlang thii te rhongngol thil sih, ommongsitoe te a tloengtlaih la dawn sih.
11If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause,
12Amih te saelkhui bangla a hing la dolh sih lamtah tangrhom ah a pum la a cungpung bangla om saeh.
12let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit.
13A boei a rhaeng boeih neh a phu aka tlo te n'dang uh vetih mamih im he kutbuem neh m'baetawt sak mako.
13We will find all manner of precious goods; we will fill our houses with plunder.
14Na hmulung te kaimih lakli ah naan lamtah mamih boeih ham sungsa pakhat la om saeh,” a ti uh atah,
14Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—
15Ka ca aw, amih kah longpuei ah cet boel lamtah na kho te amih kah a hawn lamloh hoi lah.
15my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
16Amih kah a kho tah boethae hamla cungpoeh uh tih thii long sak ham loe uh.
16For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
17Vaa phae boeih kah a hmaiah a tloengtlaih la lawk a tung uh.
17How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
18Amih loh amamih kah a thii te a rhongngol thil uh tih a hinglu te a mae uh.
18But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.
19Mueluemnah dongah aka mueluem boeih kah a khosing te tah a boei kah a hinglu ni a rhawt pah.
19Such is the fate of all who are greedy, whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.
20Cueihnah tah vongvoel ah tamhoe tih toltung ah a ol a huel.
20Wisdom calls out in the street, she lifts her voice in the square;
21Thohka ah aka kawk rhoek kah a lu ah a pang pah tih khopuei vongka ah ol a thui.
21in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech:
22Hlangyoe nang loh mevaeng hil nim hlangyoe na lungnah ve, hmuiyoi rhoek tah amamih kah saipaat dongah naep uh tih, aka ang rhoek loh mingnah te a hmuhuet uh.
22“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?
23Ka toelthamnah he mael thil lah, ka mueihla he nang hamla kan thaa saeh lamtah ka ol he khaw nang kam ming sak eh.
23If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.
24Kang khue vaengah na aal uh tih ka kut kan cavaih vaengah nim te hnatung uh pawh.
24Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,
25Kai kah cilsuep boeih te na dul uh tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw na ngaih uh pawh.
25because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,
26Kai khaw nangmih kah rhainah te ka nueih thil vetih nangmih ah birhihnah a thoeng vaengah kan tamdaeng ni.
26in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,
27Nangmih kah birhihnah tah khohli rhamrhael bangla ha pawk vetih na rhainah loh cangpalam bangla halo vaengah, citcai neh khobing loh nangmih te m'paan vaengah,
27when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.
28Kai ng'khue uh cakhaw ka doo mahpawh, kai n'toem uh cakhaw m'hmu uh bal mahpawh.
28Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
29Te yueng te mingnah a hmuhuet uh tih BOEIPA kah hinyahnah te tuek uh pawh.
29For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD.
30Kai cilsuep dongah naep uh pawt tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw boeih a tlaitlaek uh.
30They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof.
31A khosing kah a thaih te a caak uh vetih a cilkhih loh a lawn uh bitni.
31So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32Hlangyoe hnuknong loh amih te a ngawn vetih aka ang kah ommongnah loh amih te a milh sak ni.
32For the waywardness of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
33Tedae kai taengah aka hnatun long tah ngaikhuek la kho a sak vetih yoethae kah birhihnah khuiah khaw rhalthal van ni.
33But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety, secure from the fear of evil.”
