King James Version with Apocrypha
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
1Misurtui loe tamhnui tabu ah ni oh; mu mah angzoehhaih to ohsak; mu paquih loe amthuhaih ah ni oh.
2The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
2Siangpahrang palungphuihaih loe kahang kaipui kabtiah oh; anih palungphui han sah kami loe a hinghaih zaehaih sahsak kami ah oh.
3It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
3Angzoehhaih dipsakkung loe khingya han krak; toe kamthu mah angzoehhaih to tacawtsak.
4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
4Thasae kami loe atue naah laikok atok ai pongah, cang aah tue ah minawk khaeah hni cadoeh, hak mak ai.
5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
5Kami ih palung thung hoi sak atimhaih loe kathuk tui baktiah oh; toe panoekhaih tawn kami mah ni la thai tih.
6Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
6Kami boih mah a sak o ih kahoih hmuen to thuih o boih; toe mi mah maw oepthok kami to hnu thai tih?
7The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
7Katoeng kami loe a toenghaih loklam to pazui pongah, a caanawk loe tahamhoih o.
8A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
8Siangpahrang mah lokcaek hanah angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnut naah, kahoih ai hmuennawk to a mik hoiah pathlaeng thaih boih.
9Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
9Ka palung hae ka ciimsak boeh, zaehaih ka tawn ai, tiah mi mah maw thui thai tih?
10Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD .
10Angvan ai hmuenzit tahhaih patoh hoi angvan ai kasawk tahhaih patohhaih to Angraeng mah panuet.
11Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
11Nawkta loe a sak ih hmuen toeng maw toeng ai, ciim maw ciim ai, tito a sak ih hmuen hoiah amtueng.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
12Thaihhaih naa hoi hnukhaih mik loe, Angraeng mah ni sak hmaek.
13Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
13Iih koeh hmoek hmah; nam tang tih; na mik to padai ah, to tiah nahaeloe takaw hoiah zok nam hah tih.
14It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
14Hmuen qankung mah hmuen to qan naah, Hoih ai, hoih ai, tiah thuih; toe nawnetta caeh pacoengah loe, a qan ih hmuen to amoek haih.
15There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
15Sui to oh moe, atho kana thlung kathim doeh oh mangh; toe palunghahaih lokthui pahni to hoih kue.
16Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
16Panoek ai ih kami hanah phoisa coi han lokkam kami loe angmah ih kahni to la pae ving tih, panoek ai ih angvin nongpata hanah lokkamhaih sah kami loe angmah ih hmuenmae to naeh pae tih.
17Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
17Alinghaih hoiah hnuk ih caaknaek loe khraem parai; toe hnukkhuem ah loe pakha to thlungcaret hoiah koi tih.
18Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
18Na timhaih sah ai naah minawk khae hoi kahoih poekhaih to la ah; kahoih poekhaih paekkung na tawnh naah, misa to tuh ah.
19He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
19Pakhaa cip ai kami mah tamqu hmuen to angphongsak; to pongah pakha cip ai kami hoiah angkom hmah.
20Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
20Amno hoi ampa pasoih kami loe, khoving thungah anih ih hmaithaw paduek pae ving tih.
21An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
21Karangah angraenghaih loe, hnukkhuem ah tahamsethaih ah om tih.
22Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD , and he shall save thee.
22Sak ih zaehaih baktiah ka pathok let han, tiah thui hmah; Angraeng to mah oep ah, anih mah na pahlong tih.
23Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD ; and a false balance is not good.
23Katoeng ai hmuenzit tahhaih to Angraeng mah panuet; anih loe amsoem ai coi tahhaih nuiah anghoe ai.
24Man’s goings are of the LORD ; how can a man then understand his own way?
24Kami ih khok takan loe Angraeng mah ni zaeh; kami mah kawbangmaw a caehhaih loklam to panoek thai tih?
25It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
25Poek het ai ah tawthaih hoi Sithaw khaeah lokkamhaih sah kami, lokkam pacoengah a lokkamhaih dawnpakhuem let kami loe, aimah hanah dongh patung kami ah oh.
26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
26Palungha siangpahrang loe kahoih ai kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng moe, cang kaehhaih hoiah nihcae to a kaeh.
27The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD , searching all the inward parts of the belly.
27Kami ih muithla loe, angmah palung thung ih hmuennawk pakronghaih, Angraeng ih hmaithawk ah oh.
28Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
28Amlunghaih hoi oepthohhaih mah siangpahrang to ngancuemsak; amlunghaih mah angraeng tangkhang to caksak.
29The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.
29Thacakhaih loe thendoeng lensawkhaih ah oh moe, sampok loe mitong kranghoihaih ah oh.
30The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
30Nganbawh kana hakhaih hoi ahmaa caakhaih mah kasae hmuen to ciimsak; bohhaih mah palungthin thung ih sethaih to pasaeh.
