King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
1Nipui tue ih dantui baktih, cang aah tue ah angzo khotui baktiah, kamthu to pakoeh han hoih ai.
2As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
2Takung om ai ah kasae thuihaih loe ahmuen kruekah kamhet parit caa hoi anghak ai ah azawk pungpae baktiah ni oh.
3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
3Quiboeng hoiah hrang to boh moe, sum hoiah laa hrang ih tahmawh moem pae baktih toengah, kamthu to cung hoiah bop ah.
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
4Kamthu to amthuhaih baktiah pathok hmah; na pathok nahaeloe nang doeh kamthu baktiah ni na om tih.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
5Kamthu ih lok to na pathim nahaeloe, a mik hnukah palungha kami ah poek moeng tih.
6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
6Kamthu khaeah pat ih lok loe a khok to takroek pat moe, amrohaih tui naek baktiah ni oh.
7The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
7Kamthu pakha pong ih palunghahaih lok loe, adue ai khokkhaem kami ih khok baktiah oh.
8As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8Kamthu pakoeh kami loe, ngazai pongah lawkthluem moep sut baktiah ni oh.
9As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9Kamthu pakha pong ih palunghahaih lok loe soekhring mah thun ih mu paqui ban baktiah ni oh.
10The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
10Kalen Sithaw mah hmuen boih to sak; kamthu hoi zaehaih sah kami hanah doeh toksakhaih atho to paek boih.
11As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
11Ui mah angmah ih tamlok to caak let baktiah, kamthu loe angmah amthuhaih thungah amlaem let.
12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
12Angmah hoi angmah palungha kami ah poek kami to na hnuk maw? To kami pongah loe kamthu to oepthoh kue.
13The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
13Thasae kami mah loe loklam ah kaipui oh; loklam ah hmawsaeng kaipui oh, tiah thuih.
14As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
14Thok loe takhing ih sum nuiah angbang baktih toengah, thasae kami doeh angmah ih iihkhun nuiah angbet caeng.
15The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
15Thasae kami loe laom thungah ban to tapawh boeh, toe pakha ah buh abah hanah paqak.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
16Thasae kami loe khopoek thaih kami sarihto pongah, angmah hoi angmah to palungha kue ah poek.
17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
17Lamcaeh naah angmah hoi asaenghaih om ai angzoehhaih pongah kathum kami loe, ui naa patawn caeng kami hoiah anghmong.
18As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
18Tamhnuilok ni ka thuih, tiah thuih moe, a imtaeng kami aling kami loe kangqong hmai vah ih baktih, duekhaih phasak kalii kaat kamthu hoiah anghmong.
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
no verse 19 in this text
20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
20Thing om ai pongah hmai to duek; pronghaih lok kaom ai ahmuen ah loe, angzoehhaih to om ai.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
21Hmaisaae to amngaeh moe, thing angqong baktih toengah, angzoeh koeh kami mah lok pungsak thaih.
22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
22Pronghaih lok loe kahoih caaknaek baktiah, kami ih takpum thungah akun.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
23Lok loe hoih, toe poeksae palungthin loe anui ah rong nok dui ih long laom baktiah oh.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
24Minawk hnuma kami loe pahni hoiah kahoih hmuen to thuih, toe a palung thungah loe alinghaih hoiah koi.
25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
25Anih mah thuih ih lok loe hoih, toe tang hmah; anih ih palung thungah panuet thok hmuen sarihto oh.
26Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
26Anih mah hnukmahaih to alinghaih hoiah kraeng khoep, toe anih sethaih to minawk hmaa ah angphong let tih.
27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
27Qumqai kami loe angmah qumqaih ih tangqom thungah krah tih; thlung palet kami doeh a palet ih thlung to angmah nuiah amlet let tih.
28A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
28Amsawnlok thui palai loe angmah pacaekthlaek ih kami to hnukma; lokcaep thaih pakha mah kami to amrosak.
