King James Version with Apocrypha
1Aka taemrhai taengah buh ang ham na ngol vaengah, na mikhmuh kah aka om te tah, na yakming rhoe na yakming ham om.
1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2Hinglu neh na boei atah na olrhong ni tumca neh na nuen.
2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3Laithae buh la a om dongah amih kah antui te ngaidam boeh.
3Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4Boei ham khaw kohnue boeh, na yakmingnah nen khaw toeng dae.
4Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5A taengah na mik na hoih la na hoih nama? Tedae om hae mahpawh. A phae cawn, cawn vetih, atha bangla vaan ah a ding lamni a ding eh.
5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6Moeithae kah buh te caak pah boeh. Anih kah antui te khaw ngaidam rhoela ngaidam boeh.
6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7A hinglu neh aka nainong bangla amah loh nang taengah, “Ca van, o van,” a ti tangloeng. Tedae, a lungbuei tah nang taengah a khueh moenih.
7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8Namah kah kamat ca na caak te na lok hae vetih, na ol ding ni na poeih rhung eh.
8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9Hlang ang hna ah thui pah boeh. Na olthui dongkah lungmingnah te a hnoelrhoeng hae ni.
9Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10Khosuen kah rhi te rhawt boeh, cadah kah khohmuen te khaw cuk thil boeh.
10Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11Amah, amih aka tlan tah tlungluen tih, amih kah tuituknah te nang taengah ni han suk eh.
11For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12Thuituennah he na lungbuei ah, mingnah ol he na hna ah dueh lah.
12Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13Thuituennah dongah camoe te hloh boeh. Cungcik neh anih na boh akhaw duek aih mahpawh.
13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14Nang loh caitueng neh na taam cakhaw, a hinglu ni saelkhui lamkah na huul pah.
14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15Ka ca, na lungbuei ni a cueih atah, kai khaw ka lungbuei a kohoe van ni.
15My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16Ka kuel pataeng sundaep ngawn ni ta, na hmuilai loh vanat la a thui vaengah te.
16Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17Hlangtholh rhoek taengah na lungbuei te thatlai boel saeh. Tedae BOEIPA mah hnin takuem ah hinyahnah.
17Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18Khohmai he a om pueng oeh dongah na ngaiuepnah khaw muei mahpawh.
18For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19Ka ca nang loh hnatun lamtah cueih lah. Te vaengah na lungbuei kah a longpuei khaw uem van saeh.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20Amih yumii taengah, maehkai taengah om boeh.
20Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21Yumii neh carhut long tah khodaeng a pang vetih, ihdut long khaw hnipen ni a bai eh.
21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22Nang aka cun na pa ol te hnatun lamtah, na nu khaw a patong vaengah hnoelrhoeng boeh.
22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23Oltak he vawtthaih lamtah cueihnah, thuituennah, yakmingnah khaw yoi boeh.
23Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24Omngaih coeng, omngaih coeng, hlang dueng aka cun a napa tah omngaih rhoela omngaih coeng. Hlang cueih aka cun khaw a soah a kohoe coeng.
24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25Na nu neh na pa te a kohoe saeh lamtah nang aka cun khaw omngaih saeh.
25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26Ka ca na lungbuei te kamah taengla m'pae. Na mik loh ka longpuei he a ngaingaih la khueinah saeh.
26My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27Pumyoi he vaam a dung, kholong nu khaw tangrhom caek la om.
27For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28Anih khaw dingca bangla rhongngol tih, hlang rhoek taengah hnukpoh la a thap pah.
28She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
29Anunae, unim ca te, ngaisahueng la unim ca te, unimca olpungkacan neh hohmuhnah, kohuetnah aka khueh te unim ca? Lungli lungla la tloh aka yook te unim, a mik aka lingduk te unim.
29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30Misurtui dongah aka bol, yu hoem hamla aka pong dae ni te.
30They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31Misurtui te sungsa dongah a thimyum la a lang vaengah, a mikhmuh boengloeng khuiah vanat la a caeh vaengah khaw so boeh.
31Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32A hmailong ah rhul kah a tuk bangla, rhulthae kah a phuh bangla om ni.
32At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33Na mik loh a lang la a hmuh vetih, na lungbuei long khaw calaak ol ni a thui eh.
33Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34Tuitun tuilung kah aka yalh bangla, cungkui soi ah aka yalh bangla na om ni.
34Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35Kai he n'taam uh dae a tloh moenih, kai n'thoek uh dae ka yaak moenih. Me vaengah nim ka haenghang vetih a tloe neh ka khoep ham ka hmuh ve,” na ti hae ni.
35They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
