1Ka ca ka olthui he ngaithuen lamtah ka olpaek he na taengah khoem ne.
1My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you.
2Ka olpaek he ngaithuen lamtah hing puei. Ka olkhueng he na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih la om saeh.
2Keep my commandments and live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3Te te na kutdawn dongah hlaengtang lamtah na lungbuei cabael dongah daek lah.
3Tie them to your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Cueihnah te, “Ka ngannu nang tah,” ti nah lamtah yakmingnah te pacaboeina la khue.
4Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your kinsman,
5Rhalawt nu taeng lamkah khaw, kholong nu kah hoem ol lamkah khaw namah aka ngaithuen ham ni.
5that they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words.
6Ka im bangbuet kah thohhuel long ka dan.
6For at the window of my house I looked through the lattice.
7Te vaengah hlangyoe rhoek te ka hmuh tih cadong ca rhoek khuiah a lungbuei aka talh khaw ka yakming.
7I saw among the simple, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking judgment,
8Huta imdak kah bangkil te a paan tih huta im kah longpuei la luei.
8crossing the street near her corner, strolling down the road to her house,
9Hlaemhmah ah, khothun kholaeh ah, khoyin yinthuem neh khohmuep ah khaw, cet.
9at twilight, as the day was fading into the dark of the night.
10Anih aka doe ham huta ngawn tah pumyoi hnisui neh a lungbuei a uep coeng ke.
10Then a woman came out to meet him, with the attire of a harlot and cunning of heart.
11Tekah huta tah hue a sak tih a im ah khaw a thinthah. A khopha khaw duem pawh.
11She is loud and defiant; her feet do not remain at home.
12Tahae nawn ah imkawt ah, tahae ah toltung neh bangkil takuem ah rhongngol coeng.
12Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.
13Tekah cadong te a sol tih a mok, a maelhmai khaw a cadong ham a tanglue pah tih cadong te,
13She seizes him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him:
14Kamah taengkah rhoepnah hmueih neh tihnin ah tah ka olcaeng te ka thuung coeng.
14“I have made my peace offerings; today I have paid my vows.
15Te dongah nang doe ham neh na mikhmuh ah toem hamla ka mop tih nang kam hmuh tangloeng.
15So I came out to meet you; I sought you, and I have found you.
16Ka soengca te Egypt hnitang, cenlang, hniphaih neh ka phaih coeng.
16I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linen from Egypt.
17Ka thingkong dongah murrah, thingul, thingsa ka khueh thil coeng.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.
18Halo lah a hlo neh mincang duela hmilhmal sih lamtah, pumnai neh yoka sih.
18Come, let us take our fill of love till morning. Let us delight in loving caresses!
19Tongpa loh a im ah om pawt tih khohla ah yiin la cet coeng.
19For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.
20A kut dongah tangka cun a khuen tih hlalum hnin ah ni a im la ha pawk eh?,” a ti.
20He took with him a bag of money and will not return till the moon is full.”
21Anih te a rhingtuknah cungkuem neh a yoek tih a hmuilai kah hamsum neh a heh.
21With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.
22Te dongah huta hnukah maeh la aka poeh vaito bangla, aka ang thuituennah dongkah khocin rhui bangla cet.
22He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap,
23Vaa loh pael khuila a kun paitok bangla a thin te thaltang loh a khoh pah duela a hinglu te ming pawh.
23until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare— not knowing it will cost him his life.
24Te dongah ca rhoek loh kai ol he hnatun uh lamtah ka ka dongkah olthui he hnatung uh laeh.
24Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25Anih kah longpuei la mael boeh, na lungbuei te anih kah a hawn la khohmang sak boeh.
25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths.
26Anih loh hmalaem la muep a cungku sak tih aka tlung rhoek khaw boeih a ngawn coeng.
26For she has brought many down to death; her slain are many in number.
27A im khaw saelkhui longpuei ah om tih dueknah imkhui la suntla pai.
27Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.
