JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ka ca, na hui ham rhi na khang tih kholong ham na kut na tum atah,
1My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbour, if thou hast struck thy hands for a stranger —
2Na ka dongkah olthui loh n'hlaeh coeng tih na ka dongkah olthui loh n'khaih.
2Thou art snared by the words of thy mouth, thou art caught by the words of thy mouth —
3Te te na saii dongah ka ca aw, na huul uh cakhaw na hui kah kut ah ni na pha hae. Te dongah cet, mawn lamtah na hui hloep laeh.
3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbour; go, humble thyself, and urge thy neighbour.
4Na mik te ih sak boeh, na mikkhu te ngam boeh.
4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5Kut dongkah kirhang bangla sayuep kut dongkah vaa bangla namah huul uh laeh.
5Deliver thyself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6Kolhnaw aw lunghi taengla cet lah, anih kah khosing ke hmu lamtah cueih van lah.
6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise;
7A taengah rhalboei khaw, rhoiboei khaw, aka taemrhai ham khaw om mai pawh.
7Which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8Khohal ah a buh te a soepsoei tih cangah ah a caak te a yoep.
8Provideth her bread in the summer, and gatherest her food in the harvest.
9Kolhnaw aw me hil nim na yalh vetih na ih lamloh me vaengah nim na thoh ve?
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10Bet ih, bet ngam, kut poem bet neh na yalh.
10'Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep' —
11Te vaengah na khodaeng te aka cet paitai bangla, na tloelnah loh photling aka bai hlang bangla ha pawk ni.
11So shall thy poverty come as a runner, and thy want as an armed man.
12Aka muen hlang neh boethae hlang tah a ka dongkah olhmaang nen ni a pongpa.
12A base person, a man of iniquity, is he that walketh with a froward mouth;
13A mik neh a mikhip, a kho neh a thui, a kutdawn neh a thuinuet.
13That winketh with his eyes, that scrapeth with his feet, that pointeth with his fingers;
14A lungbuei kah a calaak neh a tuetang takuem ah boethae bueng a paem tih, tingtoehnah neh hohmuhnah a khuen.
14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth evil continually; he soweth discord.
15Te dongah amah kah rhainah loh buengrhuet a thoeng thil vetih hoeihnah om kolla khaem pahoi ni.
15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; on a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.
16He parhuk he BOEIPA loh a thinah tih a hinglu dongah tueilaehkoi khuikah tueilaehkoi parhih tah.
16There are six things which the LORD hateth, yea, seven which are an abomination unto Him:
17A honghi lai aka ludoeng kah a mik, ommongsitoe kah thii aka long sak kah a kut,
17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;
18Boethae kopoek aka paem lungbuei, boethae dongla aka yong paitok kho,
18A heart that deviseth wicked thoughts, feet that are swift in running to evil;
19A hong kah laipai loh laithae ol a sat tih pacaboeina lakli ah tingtoehnah la a khuen.
19A false witness that breatheth out lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20Ka ca, na pa kah olpaek te kueinah lamtah na nu kah olkhueng phap sut boeh.
20My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
21Na lungbuei ah rhawp hlaengtang lamtah na rhawn ah rhawp laikoeinah lah.
21Bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck.
22Na caeh vaengah nang m'mawt vetih na yalh vaengah nang te n'tawt ni, na haenghang vaengah nang n'lolmang puei ni.
22When thou walkest, it shall lead thee, when thou liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23Olpaek tah hmaithoi ni, olkhueng khaw vangnah ni, thuituennah dongkah toelthamnah khaw hingnah longpuei ni.
23For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life;
24Huta thae taeng lamkah neh kholong nu ol hnal lamloh nang aka ngaithuen ham ni.
24To keep thee from the evil woman, from the smoothness of the alien tongue.
25A sakthen te na thinko nen khaw nai boeh, a mikkhu neh nang te n'hloih boel saeh.
25Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; neither let her captivate thee with her eyelids.
26Pumyoi nu tah buh hluem ham ni, tedae hlang yuu loh hinglu phutlo khaw a hoem.
26For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a loaf of bread, but the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
27Hlang kah a rhang dongah hmai a poep lalah a himbai te hoeh mahpawt a?
27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28Hlang pakhat te hmai-alh dongah a caeh lalah a kho te duih mahpawt a?
28Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
29A hui kah yuu te aka kun thil tih aka ben tah pakhat khaw hmil tangloeng mahpawh.
29So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not go unpunished.
30A hinglu kah a lamlum dip sak hamla a huen atah hlanghuen te hlang loh hnoelrhoeng mahpawt a?
30Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31A hmuh uh atah a pueh parhih la a sah saeh lamtah a im kah a boei a rhaeng te boeih a phai saeh.
31But if he be found, he must restore sevenfold, he must give all the substance of his house.
32Lungbuei aka talh huta tah samphaih, a hinglu aka phae long ni te te a saii.
32He that committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding; he doeth it that would destroy his own soul.
33Tlohtat neh yah a dong vetih anih kokhahnah te hmata mahpawh.
33Wounds and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34Phulohnah khohnin ah a va kah kosi neh thatlainah dongah lungma ti mahpawh.
34For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35A mikhmuh kah tlansum pakhat khaw khuen pah pawt vetih kapbaih yet cakhaw huem pah mahpawh.
35He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
