Proverbs 26
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
1Khohal kah vuelsong neh cangah vaengkah khotlan baghui la, thangpomnah khaw hlang ang neh rhoeprhui tangloeng pawh.
2As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
2Vaa a rhaehba bangla, pumpil a ding bangla, rhunkhuennah he lunglilungla la a thoeng moenih.
3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
3Marhang ham rhuihet, laak ham kamrhui, aka ang rhoek kah a nam ham cungcik om.
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
4Hlang ang kah a anglat te doo boeh, namah khaw anih bangla na om ve.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
5Hlang ang te a anglat bangla a doo dae, a mikhmuh ah hlang cueih la om hae mahpawh.
6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
6Hlang ang kut ah ol aka pat tah a kho a kuet tih kuthlahnah aka mam la om.
7The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
7Aka khaem kah a kho sut a bat banghui la, hlang ang rhoek ka kah thuidoeknah he khaw om.
8As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8Hlang ang taengah thangpomnah paek he, payai dongah lungto mop banghui la om tangloeng.
9As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9Hlang ang ka kah thuidoeknah he khaw yurhui kut dongah aka pha mutlo hling bangla om.
10The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
10Hlang ang aka paang boeih khaw aka cetpaitai a paang tih lithen a poeih banghui la om.
11As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
11Ui loh a lok a paan banghui la hlang ang loh a anglat te a khoep.
12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
12Hlang he amah mikhmuh ah tah aka cueih la na hmuh. Anih lakah hlang ang ham ngaiuepnah om ta.
13The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
13Kolhnaw loh, “Longpuei ah sathueng ca, toltung ah sathueng om,” a ti.
14As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
14thohkhaih loh thohrhui dongah a tinghil bangla, kolhnaw khaw amah thingkong dongah suvaih.
15The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
15Kolhnaw loh bael dongah a kut a puei te, a ka dongla koep a khuen ham pataeng a ngak.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
16Kolhnaw he amah mikhmuh ah tah, omih neh aka thuung hlang parhih lakah aka cueih la ngai uh.
17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
17Amah hut pawt ah tuituknah khuiah aka kun khaw, aka cetpaitai loh ui hna a doek banghui la om.
18As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
18Thaltang neh dueknah hmaipom aka dong loh hlang a khah bangla,
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
19A hui aka phok hlang van loh, “Ka luem mailai moenih a?,” a ti.
20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
20Thing a tlum atah hmai a thi bangla a thet pawt daengah ni olpungkacan a paa.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
21Hmai-alh dongah hmaisa-aek, hmai dongah thing a pup vanbangla, hohmuhnah neh olpungkacan aka saii hlang loh tuituknah a puek sak.
22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
22Thet ol he didii tih bungko khui la suntla.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
23Lungbuei thae neh a lai hmai la aka alh tah, paikaek dongkah cakhli a ben banghui ni.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
24A hmuilai dongkah a hmuhuet te a ka dongah loha coeng dae, a khui kah hlangthai palat te a thuh bal pueng.
25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
25A ol tah rhen koemboei la om dae, anih te tangnah boeh. A lungbuei ah tueilaehkoi parhih om.
26Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
26hmuhuetnah te thailainah neh dah cakhaw, hlangping taengah a boethae ni a yan eh.
27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
27Vaam aka vuet khaw amah loh a cungku thil vetih, lungto aka palet khaw amah soah koep mael ni.
28A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
28Laithae ol loh amah aka hnaep aka hnap te a hmuhuet tih, a ka aka hnal khaw a ponah ni a saii.
