1Cueihnah loh n'khue moenih a? Lungcuei loh a ol a huel dae ta.
1Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
2Longpuei taengkah hmuensang som ah a im kah a hawn ah khaw pai ta.
2On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands.
3Vangpuei la a kun phai kah vongka hmoi ah khaw thohka kah a rhai ah khaw tamhoe ta.
3Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
4Aw hlang rhoek, nangmih te kang khue tih ka olthang he khaw hlang capa ham ni.
4“I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5Hlangyoe rhoek loh khinglangnah yakming lamtah aka ang rhoek loh lungbuei te yakming lah.
5You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
6Hnatun uh, rhaengsang la ka thui dongah ka hmuilai ka ongnah he vanat la om.
6Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
7Ka ka loh oltak a thuep tih halangnah te ka hmuilai kah a tueilaehkoi ni.
7For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8Ka ka dongkah duengnah olthui boeih he a hloo vilvak moenih.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9Aka yakming ham tah boeih langya tih mingnah aka dang ham tah thuem ngawn.
9They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
10Ka thuituennah tangka nen pawt tih, mingnah he sui a coelh lakah khaw lo lah.
10Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.
11Cueihnah tah lungvang lakah then tih ngaihnah sarhui khaw te nen te vanat sak thai pawh.
11For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
12Kamah tah cueihnah, khinglangnah neh kho ka sak tih thuepnah dongkah mingnah te ka hmuh.
12“I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
13BOEIPA hinyahnah dongah a thae la koevoeinah te thiinah ham ni hoemdamnah neh a thae longpuei khaw, calaak ol khaw ka hmuhuet.
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
14Cilsuep neh lungming cueihnah tah kamah taengah, ka yakmingnah neh, kamah ham thayung thamal la om.
14Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
15Kai rhangneh manghai rhoek loh manghai tih boeica rhoek loh duengnah neh a taem uh.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16Kai rhangneh mangpa rhoek khaw boei uh tih hlangcong boeih loh duengnah lai a tloek uh.
16By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
17Kai aka lung, aka lungnah te ka lungnah tih kai aka toem rhoek loh kai m'hmuh uh.
17I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
18Khuehtawn neh thangpomnah khaw, aka nguel boeirhaeng neh duengnah khaw kamah taengah om.
18With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity.
19Sui neh suicilh lakah ka thaih then tih ka cangvuei khaw cak lakah cae.
19My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.
20Duengnah caehlong ah tiktamnah a hawn khui la ka pongpa.
20I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,
21Kai aka lungnah tah ka koe ka pang sak tih a thakvoh te ka koei pah.
21that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
22Daengrhae daengkhoi lamkah a bibi, hlamat kah a longpuei a tongcuek ah BOEIPA loh kai n'lai coeng.
22“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.
23Khosuen lamloh, a lu lamloh, diklai khothoeng lamloh kai n'hloe.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.
24Kai ka poe vaengah tuidung khaw ana om pawh, tuisih tui ana phul pawh.
24When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water.
25Tlang a buek hlan ah som a tueng hlan ah ka cuen coeng.
25Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born;
26Te vaengah diklai khaw, tollong khaw, lunglai dongkah laipi lamhma khaw ana saii moenih.
26while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27Vaan a soepsoei ham vaengkah, tuidung hman kah a kueluek te a tarhit ham vaengkah khaw kamah ni.
27When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
28A sang hmuen kah khomong thah sak ham khaw, tuidung tuiphuet tanglue sak ham vaengah khaw,
28when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,
29Tuitunli te a rhi suem pah ham vaengah khaw ka om coeng. Te dongah tui loh BOEIPA ol te poe pawh. Diklai kah a yung te a tarhit ham vaengah ka om coeng.
29when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30Amah taengah bibi thai la ka om tih hnin bal hnin bal hlahmaenah neh ka om. A tue boeih dongah amah mikhmuh ah ka luem.
30then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
31A khohmuen kah lunglai dongah aka luem loh hlang ca te khaw ka hlahmaenah coeng.
31rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
32Te dongah ca rhoek loh kamah taengah hnatun uh lamtah kamah kah yoethen longpuei ngaithuen uh.
32“Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33Thuituennah he hnatun lamtah cueih lamtah hlahpham boeh.
33Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.
34Kamah taengah aka hnatun Ka thohkhaih taengah a hnin a hnin ah aka hak, ka thohka kah rhungsut aka ngaithuen hlang tah a yoethen pai.
34Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
35Kai aka hmu long tah hingnah te a hmuh rhoe a hmuh tih, BOEIPA taengkah kolonah a dang.
35For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from the LORD.
36Tedae kai aka hmaang long tah a hinglu a huet, kai aka thiinah boeih loh dueknah te a lungnah.
36But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”
