1The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
1Haenawk loe Israel siangpahrang, David capa, Solomon ih palungha lok ah oh;
2To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
2palungha lok mah palunghahaih, thuitaekhaih hoi kathuk lokhlongnawk panoekhaih to na paek tih;
3To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
3thuitaek thaihaih, katoeng ah lokcaekhaih, kangvan ah lok takroekhaih to na hnu tih;
4To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
4kami rumramnawk khaeah palunghahaih to paek ueloe, thendoeng mah panoekhaih hoi poek thaihaih to tawn tih.
5A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
5Palungha kami loe lok tahngai ueloe, panoekhaih to pung tih; panoekhaih tawn kami loe palungha kami mah thuih ih lok to talawk tih;
6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
6palungha lok hoi patahhaih loknawk, palungha kami mah thuih ih palunghahaih lok hoi kathuk loknawk to panoek thai hanah,
7¶ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
7Sithaw zithaih loe palunghahaih takung ah oh; toe amthu mah loe palunghahaih hoi thuitaekhaih to patoek.
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
8Ka capa, nam pa thuitaekhaih lok to tahngaih loe, nam no mah patukhaih to pahnawt sut hmah.
9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
9To tiah thuitaekhaih hoi patukhaih loe na lu hanah apawk lumuek baktih, na tahnong hanah bungmu ah om tih.
10¶ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
10Ka capa, kami zaenawk mah na zoek cadoeh, nihcae ih lok to tahngai hmah.
11If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
11Nihcae mah, Kaicae hnuk ah na bang ah, kami athii palong hanah zing si loe, zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk to angang si;
12Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
12nihcae to taprong baktih, tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk baktiah, kahing ah paaeh boih si;
13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
13to tiah nahaeloe atho kana hmuenmae to a hnu o ueloe, aicae ih im doeh minawk khae hoi lomh ih hmuenmae hoiah koi tih;
14Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
14kaicae hoi nawnto taham khethaih phoisa to va ah; a hnuk o ih phoisa doeh kangvan ah amzet si, tiah na naa o cadoeh,
15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
15ka capa, nihcae hnukah bang hmah; nihcae caehhaih loklam ah caeh hmah:
16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
16nihcae loe zaehaih sak hanah cawnh o moe, athii palong hanah angtawt rang o.
17Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
17Tavaa mah hnuk naah palok payang nahaeloe tih atho maw om tih!
18And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
18To baktih kaminawk loe angmacae athii long hanah zing o moe, angmacae hinghaih lak han ih ni angang o!
19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
19Amsoem ai ah hmuen hak koeh hmoek kaminawk boih loe, hnukkhuem ah angmacae hinghaih to ni a lak o.
20¶ Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
20Palunghahaih loe tasa bangah hangh moe, loklamnawk ah tha hoiah a hangh;
21She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying ,
21kami angpophaih ahmuennawk hoi vangpui khongkhanawk ah a hangh; vangpui thungah a hang ih loknawk loe,
22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
22nangcae kami rumramnawk, khosak rumramhaih to nasetto maw na palung o han vop? Nangcae loe minawk mah pahnuithuihaih to na koeh o, amthu kaminawk loe palunghahaih to nasetto maw hnuma o vop tih?
23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
23Kang thuitaek o haih lok hae tahngai oh loe, amlaem oh; khenah, ka muithla nangcae nuiah ka kraih moe, ka thuih ih loknawk to kang panoek o sak han.
24¶ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
24Kang kawk o naah, nang maak o; ka ban payangh naah, tidoeh nang sah o ai;
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
25kang thuih ih lok to tidoeh na sah o ai moe, kang thuitaek o haih lok doeh na tahngai o ai pongah,
26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
26raihaih na tongh o naah kang pahnuih thuih moe, zithaih na tongh o naah,
27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
27na nuiah raihaih mah takhi sae baktiah phak moe, amrohaih mah takhi kamhae baktiah angzoh thuih naah, palungsethaih hoi raihaih mah na nuiah krak thuih naah doeh kang pahnui o thuih toeng han:
28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
28Kai nang kawk o naah, kang pathim o mak ai; nihcae mah kai to pakrong o tih, toe na hnu o mak ai.
29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD :
29Nihcae loe palunghahaih to hnukma o, Angraeng zithaih to qoi o ai.
30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
30Ka thuih ih lok to nihcae mah tahngai o ai, ka zoehhaih loknawk boih doeh patoek o.
31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
31To pongah nihcae mah a caeh o haih loklam ih athaih to caa o ueloe, sak han a poek o ih hmuen hoiah koi o tih.
32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
32Poekhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe loklam amkhraeng o moe, duek o; amthu kaminawk khosakhoihaih loe angmacae amrohaih ah oh.
33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
33Toe ka lok tahngai kami loe ngancuem ueloe, kasae zithaih om ai ah monghaih hoiah khosah tih.
