1Ka ca ka olthui he ngaithuen lamtah ka olpaek he na taengah khoem ne.
1My son, keep my words. Lay up 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 teaching as the apple of your eye.
3Te te na kutdawn dongah hlaengtang lamtah na lungbuei cabael dongah daek lah.
3Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Cueihnah te, “Ka ngannu nang tah,” ti nah lamtah yakmingnah te pacaboeina la khue.
4Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
5Rhalawt nu taeng lamkah khaw, kholong nu kah hoem ol lamkah khaw namah aka ngaithuen ham ni.
5that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6Ka im bangbuet kah thohhuel long ka dan.
6For at the window of my house, I looked out through my 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 ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
8Huta imdak kah bangkil te a paan tih huta im kah longpuei la luei.
8passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
9Hlaemhmah ah, khothun kholaeh ah, khoyin yinthuem neh khohmuep ah khaw, cet.
9in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10Anih aka doe ham huta ngawn tah pumyoi hnisui neh a lungbuei a uep coeng ke.
10Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
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 don’t stay in her house.
12Tahae nawn ah imkawt ah, tahae ah toltung neh bangkil takuem ah rhongngol coeng.
12Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
13Tekah cadong te a sol tih a mok, a maelhmai khaw a cadong ham a tanglue pah tih cadong te,
13So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
14Kamah taengkah rhoepnah hmueih neh tihnin ah tah ka olcaeng te ka thuung coeng.
14“Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.
15Te dongah nang doe ham neh na mikhmuh ah toem hamla ka mop tih nang kam hmuh tangloeng.
15Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
16Ka soengca te Egypt hnitang, cenlang, hniphaih neh ka phaih coeng.
16I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
17Ka thingkong dongah murrah, thingul, thingsa ka khueh thil coeng.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18Halo lah a hlo neh mincang duela hmilhmal sih lamtah, pumnai neh yoka sih.
18Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
19Tongpa loh a im ah om pawt tih khohla ah yiin la cet coeng.
19For my husband isn’t 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 has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
21Anih te a rhingtuknah cungkuem neh a yoek tih a hmuilai kah hamsum neh a heh.
21With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
22Te dongah huta hnukah maeh la aka poeh vaito bangla, aka ang thuituennah dongkah khocin rhui bangla cet.
22He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
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 strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
24Te dongah ca rhoek loh kai ol he hnatun uh lamtah ka ka dongkah olthui he hnatung uh laeh.
24Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
25Anih kah longpuei la mael boeh, na lungbuei te anih kah a hawn la khohmang sak boeh.
25Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
26Anih loh hmalaem la muep a cungku sak tih aka tlung rhoek khaw boeih a ngawn coeng.
26for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
27A im khaw saelkhui longpuei ah om tih dueknah imkhui la suntla pai.
27Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.
