1Cueihnah loh a im a sak tih a tung parhih a vueh.
1Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
2A maeh te a ngawn tih misurtui neh a thoek tih a caboei te a tawn.
2She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
3Amah kah hula rhoek te a tueih tih, vangpuei hmuensang dangdoe lamkah a khue.
3She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
4Te phoeiah, “Unim hlangyoe, anih te lungbuei a talh khaw pahoi nong tak saeh.
4Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
5Halo, ka buh he ang uh lamtah misur ka thoek he o uh.
5Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
6Hlangyoe te hnoo lamtah hing uh, yakmingnah longpuei te uem uh.
6Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.
7Hmuiyoi aka toel tah amah loh yah a poh tih, halang aka tluung tah amah loh nganboh a yook.
7He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
8Hmuiyoi te tluung boeh namah m'hmuhuet ve. Aka cueih tah na tluung cakhaw nang n'lungnah ni.
8Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9Aka cueih te pae lah taoe cueih ni, aka dueng te na tukkil atah rhingtuknah a thap ni.
9Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it.
10BOEIPA hinyahnah tah cueihnah lamhma la om tih aka cim mingnah he yakmingnah la om.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.
11Kai rhangneh na khohnin te puh vetih nang hamla hingnah kum khaw a thap ni.
11For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
12Na cueih la na cueih mak atah namah ham ngawn ni. Hmui na yoih atah nang namah long ni na phueih eh.
12If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.
13Angvawk nu loh a poeyoek la kawk tih bang khaw ming pawh.
13A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all,
14Tedae a im thohka neh vangpuei hmuensang kah ngolkhoel dongah ngol.
14Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city,
15Te vaengah a caehlong a dueng la longpuei ah aka pongpa rhoek te a khue.
15To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey:
16“Hlangyoe neh lungbuei aka talh tah pahoi ha pah saeh.
16He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said:
17A tui huen aka tui sak tih yinhnuk buh neh aka hmae,” a ti.
17Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant.
18Tedae saelkhui laedil ah sairhai pahoi a khue pah te ming pawh.
18And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
