Proverbs 9
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars;
1Palunghahaih mah im tung sarihto a aah moe, ohhaih im to a sak;
2She hath prepared her meat, she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
2angmah pacah ih moinawk to a boh; misurtui to a lawn moe, caboi to pahnut.
3She hath sent forth her maidens, she calleth, upon the highest places of the city:
3A tok sahkung tanglanawk to patoeh moe, vangpui kasang koek ahmuen ah angdoet pacoengah, a hangh.
4'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
4Poekhaih tawn kaminawk haeah angzo oh; khokhan thai ai kaminawk anih khaeah angzo oh, tiah a kawk,
5'Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
5angzo oh, kai ih takaw hae caa oh loe, ka lawn tangcae misurtui hae nae oh.
6Forsake all thoughtlessness, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.
6Na hing hanah, khosak amthuhaih to caeh taak ah loe, palunghahaih loklam to pazui ah.
7He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame, and he that reproveth a wicked man, it becometh unto him a blot.
7Kami tiah doeh sah ai kami thuitaekung loe azathaih to tongh moe, kahoih ai kami thuitaekkung doeh kasae thuihaih to tong lat.
8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
8Kami pahnui thuih kami to zoeh hmah, na hnuma lat tih; palungha kami to na zoeh nahaeloe, na palung tih.
9Give to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
9Palungha kami na thuitaek nahaeloe, palungha aep tih; katoeng kami to na patuk nahaeloe, anih amtukhaih to sang aep tih.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the All-holy is understanding.
10Angraeng zithaih loe palungha amtonghaih takung pui ah oh; ciimcai Sithaw panoekhaih loe palunghahaih ah oh.
11For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
11Kai rang hoiah na hinglung sawk ueloe, na hinghaih saning to pop tih.
12If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; and if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.'
12Palung na ha nahaeloe palunghahaih atho to na hnu tih; toe minawk khet na patoek nahaeloe, nangmah na zok tih.
13The woman Folly is riotous; she is thoughtless, and knoweth nothing.
13Amthu nongpata ih lok loe ham; anih loe poekhaih tawn ai moe, panoekhaih tidoeh tawn ai.
14And she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
14Anih loe angmah im thok taengah anghnut moe, vangpui kasang koek ahmuen ah anghnut,
15To call to them that pass by, who go right on their ways:
15katoeng loklam caeh kaminawk to a kawk;
16'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; and as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
16poekhaih tawn ai kaminawk khaeah athung bangah angzo oh, tiah a naa; khokhan thai ai kaminawk khaeah loe,
17'Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.'
17paquk ih tui loe luep, tamquta hoi caak ih takaw loe khraem, tiah a naa.
18But he knoweth not that the shades are there; that her guests are in the depths of the nether-world.
18Toe to ahmuen ah loe duekhaih to oh, nongpata mah kawk ih kaminawk loe duekhaih hell thungah ni oh o, tiah nongpa mah panoek ai. p
