Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
1Israel manghai David capa Solomon kah he,
2To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
2cueihnah ming sak ham neh ol yakmingnah te yakming sak ham thuituennah la om.
3To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
3Thuituennah la loh ham neh duengnah, tiktamnah neh vanatnah te aka cangbam sak la om.
4To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
4Camoe hlangyoe taengah mingnah neh thuepnah, khinglangnah aka pae la om.
5A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
5Aka cueih loh hnatun saeh lamtah rhingtuknah la thap thil saeh, aka yakming loh a niing la hol saeh.
6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
6Aka cueih rhoek kah, nuettahnah olka neh amih kah olkael aka yakming sak la om.
7¶ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
7BOEIPA hinyahnah tah cueihnah, mingnah a tongnah la om tih aka ang loh thuituennah a hnoelrhoeng.
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
8Ka ca aw na pa kah thuituennah he hnatun lamtah na nu kah olkhueng khaw tloeng sut boeh.
9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
9Te te na lu ham mikdaithen kah lukhueng neh na rhawn ham oi la om.
10¶ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
10Ka ca nang te hlangtholh rhoek loh n'hloih cakhaw rhoih boeh.
11If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
11“Kaimih taengah pongpa lamtah hlang thii te rhongngol thil sih, ommongsitoe te a tloengtlaih la dawn sih.
12Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
12Amih te saelkhui bangla a hing la dolh sih lamtah tangrhom ah a pum la a cungpung bangla om saeh.
13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
13A boei a rhaeng boeih neh a phu aka tlo te n'dang uh vetih mamih im he kutbuem neh m'baetawt sak mako.
14Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
14Na hmulung te kaimih lakli ah naan lamtah mamih boeih ham sungsa pakhat la om saeh,” a ti uh atah,
15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
15Ka ca aw, amih kah longpuei ah cet boel lamtah na kho te amih kah a hawn lamloh hoi lah.
16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
16Amih kah a kho tah boethae hamla cungpoeh uh tih thii long sak ham loe uh.
17Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
17Vaa phae boeih kah a hmaiah a tloengtlaih la lawk a tung uh.
18And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
18Amih loh amamih kah a thii te a rhongngol thil uh tih a hinglu te a mae uh.
19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
19Mueluemnah dongah aka mueluem boeih kah a khosing te tah a boei kah a hinglu ni a rhawt pah.
20¶ Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
20Cueihnah tah vongvoel ah tamhoe tih toltung ah a ol a huel.
21She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying ,
21Thohka ah aka kawk rhoek kah a lu ah a pang pah tih khopuei vongka ah ol a thui.
22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
22Hlangyoe nang loh mevaeng hil nim hlangyoe na lungnah ve, hmuiyoi rhoek tah amamih kah saipaat dongah naep uh tih, aka ang rhoek loh mingnah te a hmuhuet uh.
23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
23Ka toelthamnah he mael thil lah, ka mueihla he nang hamla kan thaa saeh lamtah ka ol he khaw nang kam ming sak eh.
24¶ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
24Kang khue vaengah na aal uh tih ka kut kan cavaih vaengah nim te hnatung uh pawh.
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
25Kai kah cilsuep boeih te na dul uh tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw na ngaih uh pawh.
26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
26Kai khaw nangmih kah rhainah te ka nueih thil vetih nangmih ah birhihnah a thoeng vaengah kan tamdaeng ni.
27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
27Nangmih kah birhihnah tah khohli rhamrhael bangla ha pawk vetih na rhainah loh cangpalam bangla halo vaengah, citcai neh khobing loh nangmih te m'paan vaengah,
28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
28Kai ng'khue uh cakhaw ka doo mahpawh, kai n'toem uh cakhaw m'hmu uh bal mahpawh.
29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD :
29Te yueng te mingnah a hmuhuet uh tih BOEIPA kah hinyahnah te tuek uh pawh.
30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
30Kai cilsuep dongah naep uh pawt tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw boeih a tlaitlaek uh.
31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
31A khosing kah a thaih te a caak uh vetih a cilkhih loh a lawn uh bitni.
32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
32Hlangyoe hnuknong loh amih te a ngawn vetih aka ang kah ommongnah loh amih te a milh sak ni.
33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
33Tedae kai taengah aka hnatun long tah ngaikhuek la kho a sak vetih yoethae kah birhihnah khuiah khaw rhalthal van ni.
