Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
1Ka capa, kang patukhaih lok hae pahnet hmah, kang paek ih lok hae palung thungah pakuem ah;
2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
2nang hanah hing sawkhaih hoi monghaih na paek tih.
3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
3Tahmenhaih hoi loktang to caeh taak hmah; nangmah ih tahnong ah a oih ah loe, na palung cabu pongah tarik ah:
4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
4to tih nahaeloe Sithaw hmaa hoi kami hmaa ah mikhmai hnu ueloe, ahmin hoihaih na hnu tih.
5¶ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
5Na palungthin boih hoi Angraeng oephaih to tawn ah; na panoekhaih pongah amha hmah.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
6Na caehhaih loklam kruekah anih to panoek ah, to tih nahaeloe na caehhaih loklam na hnusak tih.
7¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD , and depart from evil.
7Na mikhnuk ah palungha baktiah om hmah; Angraeng to zii ah loe, hmuensae to caeh taak ah.
8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
8To tih nahaeloe na thaquinawk ngantui o ueloe, na huhnawk doeh thacak o tih.
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
9Na tawnh ih hmuen, thingthai tangsuek hoiah Angraeng to pakoeh ah:
10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
10to tiah na sak nahaeloe nang ih tapupnawk cang hoiah koi amthlai o ueloe, misurtui suekhaih muroihnawk doeh misurtui kangtha hoiah koi amthlai o tih.
11¶ My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD ; neither be weary of his correction:
11Ka capa, Angraeng thuitaekhaih to patoek hmah; ang zoehhaih lok pongah doeh palung naa hmah:
12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
12palung ih capa loe ampa mah thuitaek baktih toengah, Angraeng mah palung ih kami loe thuitaek ah oh.
13¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
13Palunghahaih pakrong moe, panoekhaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
14Palunghahaih loe sumkanglung pongah atho oh kue moe, sui pongah doeh hoih kue.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
15Atho kaom thlung kathim pongah doeh atho nat kue, na koeh ih hmuennawk boih hoiah doeh patah thai ai.
16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
16A bantang bangah hingsawkhaih to a suek, banqoi bangah loe angraenghaih hoi khingyahaih to a suek.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
17Palunghahaih loklam loe nawm moe, a caehhaih loklamnawk boih ah monghaih to oh.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
18Palunghahaih loe palunghahaih patawn kami hanah hinghaih thingkung ah oh; palunghahaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
19The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
19Angraeng mah long hae palunghahaih hoiah ni sak; vannawk doeh panoekhaih hoiah a suek.
20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
20Kathuk parai tuipuinawk to a palunghahaih hoiah tapraek moe, tamai thung hoiah dantuinawk to a kraksak.
21¶ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
21Ka capa, palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih to na hmaa hoiah amkhraengsak ving hmah; pakuem poe ah.
22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
22To tiah na sak nahaeloe na pakhra hinghaih ah om ueloe, na tahnong kranghoihaih bungmu ah om tih.
23Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
23Kholong caeh naah raihaih na tawn mak ai; khok doeh na pathuih mak ai.
24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
24Na iih naah zithaih na tawn mak ai; ue, kahnaep ah na iip thai tih.
25Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
25Tasoehhaih na tawn mak ai, kahoih ai kaminawk mah parohaih doeh na tong mak ai.
26For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
26Angraeng loe nam haahaih ah om ueloe, dongh pongah amanh han ai ah na khoknawk to patawn tih.
27¶ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it .
27Na ban ah sakthaihaih na tawnh naah, kahoih hmuen sak pae han krak, tiah na poek ih kami nuiah kahoih hmuen to sah ai ah om hmah.
28Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
28Na imtaeng kami han paek koi hmuen na tawnh, toe anih khaeah vaihi loe amlaem raeh, khawnbang nang zoh let naah kang paek han hmang, tiah thui hmah.
29Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
29Nang oephaih hoiah khosah na imtaeng kami khaeah, kasae sak han atim hmah.
30¶ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
30Na nuiah sethaih sah ai kami to, tidoeh na ai ah zoeh hmah.
31¶ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
31Pacaekthlaek kami ih hmuen to ut hmah loe, a caehhaih loklam to awt hmah.
32For the froward is abomination to the LORD : but his secret is with the righteous.
32Poek angkawnh kaminawk loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe poektoeng kaminawk loe angmah hoi nawnto angkomhaih to a sak.
33¶ The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
33Angraeng tangoenghaih loe kahoih ai kaminawk imthung ah phak, toe katoeng kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen loe Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek.
34Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
34Minawk pahnui thuih kami to anih mah pahnui thuih toeng, toe kami tlim ah khosah kaminawk khaeah loe tahmenhaih to a paek.
35The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
35Palungha kaminawk loe lensawkhaih to toepsak; toe amthu kaminawk loe azatsak.
