Proverbs 30
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
1Jakeh capa Agur kah ol he, Ithiel hlang, Ithiel neh Ukal taengah olphong olrhuh la om.
2Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
2Kai he hlang lakah ka kotalh ngawn cakhaw, hlang loh kai taengah yakmingnah khueh pawh.
3I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
3Cueihnah ka cang pawt dae, a cim mingnah te ka ming.
4Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?
4Ulae vaan la aka luei tih aka rhum? A kutnarhum dongah khohli aka buem te ulae? Himbai dongah tui aka cun te ulae? Diklai khobawt boeih aka thoh te ulae? A ming ta melae, a capa ming ta balae? na ming atah.
5Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
5Pathen kah olthui boeih tah cilpoe la om. Amah dongah aka ying rhoek ham tah photling la a om pah.
6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
6A ol te thap boeh, namah te n'tluung vetih na laithae phoe ve.
7Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
7Namah taeng lamkah te panit ni kam bih. Ka duek hlanah kai taengah hloh boeh.
8Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
8A poeyoek neh laithae ol tah kai taeng lamloh hla saeh. Kai taengah he khodaeng khaw, khuehtawn khaw m'pae boeh. Ka buhvae dongkah buhham mah kai n'cah mai.
9Lest I be full, and deny thee , and say, Who is the LORD ? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain .
9Ka kum vaengah tah ka basa vetih, “BOEIPA te unim,” vik ka ti tholh ve. Ka khawk vaengah ka huen vetih ka Pathen ming te ka pha tholh ve.
10Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
10A boei taeng, a boei taengah sal te thet pah boeh. Namah te thae m'phoei thil vetih, na boe ve.
11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
11A napa kah cadilcahma aka tap loh a manu te khaw a uem noek moenih.
12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
12A khawt te sil pawt dae, amah mikhmuh neh aka cim cadilcahma,
13There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
13A mik neh mat pomsang uh tih, a mikkhu aka huel cadilcahma,
14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
14A no te cunghang bangla, a pumcu te tumcaca bangla, diklai mangdaeng neh khodaeng hlang aka yoop cadilcahma,
15The horseleach hath two daughters, crying , Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea , four things say not, It is enough:
15Vawt canu rhoi loh, “M'pae, m'pae,” a ti. Pathum khaw cung rhoi pawh. Pali khaw, “Rhoeh coeng,” ti rhoi pawh.
16The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
16Saelkhui neh caya kah a bung, tui aka hah pawh diklai, rhoeh aka ti tlaih pawh hmai pawn ni.
17The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
17A napa aka tamdaeng tih, a manu kah boengainah dongah aka hnoelrhoeng kah a mik tah, soklong vangak loh a koeih vetih atha ca loh a caak ni.
18There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
18Amih pathum mah kai ham tah khobaerhambae coeng dae, a pili phoeikah amih pali he khaw ka ming thai moenih.
19The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
19Vaan ah atha kah longpuei, lungpang dongah rhul kah longpuei, tuitun tuilung kah sangpho longpuei, hula taengkah tongpa longpuei he ni.
20Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
20Samphaih nu kah a khosing tah, a caak neh a ka a huih tih, “boethae ka saii pawh,” a ti.
21For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
21Diklai aka tlai sak pathum neh diklai loh a phueih thai pawh pali tah,
22For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
22Sal te tloep a manghai vaengah, aka ang te buh a hah vaengah,
23For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
23Rhukom te tloep a hmuhuet vaengah, imom loh a boeinu a pang vaengah,
24There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
24Amih pali he diklai hmankah a yit koek la om dae cueih rhoela cueih uh.
25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
25Lunghi he a pilnam khaw tlung pawt dae, khohal ah amamih caak te a soepsoei coeng.
26The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
26Saphih khaw a pilnam te pilnu pawt dae, thaelpang khuiah a im a khueh.
27The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
27Kaisih te manghai tal dae a pum la huek khong uh.
28The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
28Imrhai loh kut neh na tuuk mai tih, amah tah manghai kah bawkim ah na om van bal.
29There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
29Khokan aka yanghoep pathum neh a caeh aka thuem pali tah amih ni.
30A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
30Sathueng tah Rhamsa boeih lakah tlung tih, a mikhmuh kah boeih tah mael tak pawh.
31A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
31A cinghen aka caplawh maaetal neh manghai amah taengah aka bop rhoek.
32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
32Dangrhoek ham vaengah na tahah tih na mangtaeng akhaw na ka te na kut neh buem.
33Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
33Suktui a ken vaengah suknaeng la poeh. Hnarhong a pai vaengah thii long. Thintoek a phul vaengah tuituknah la coeng.
