King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
1Ka ca, kai kah olkhueng he hnilh boel lamtah ka olpaek he na lungbuei loh kueinah saeh.
2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
2Na hingnah khohnin neh kum a sen vaengah nang hamla ngaimongnah han thap uh bitni.
3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
3Sitlohnah neh uepomnah loh nang te n'hnoo boel saeh. Te te na rhawn dongah hlaengtang lamtah na lungbuei cabael dongah daek lah.
4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
4Te tlam te Pathen neh hlang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen neh lungmingnah then te dang van lah.
5¶ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
5BOEIPA dongah na lungbuei boeih neh pangtung lamtah namah kah yakmingnah dongah hangdang boeh.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
6Na longpuei boeih ah amah te ming lamtah amah loh na caehlong a dueng sak bitni.
7¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD , and depart from evil.
7Na mikhmuh dawk neh aka cueih la om boeh, BOEIPA te rhih lamtah boethae te nong tak.
8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
8Na tharhui ham sadingnah neh na rhuh ham a hliing la om ni.
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
9BOEIPA te na boeirhaeng neh, na cangvuei boeih khuikah a tanglue neh thangpom lah.
10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
10Te daengah ni na khai te khobuh neh baetawt vetih misur thai khaw na va-am dongah puh ni.
11¶ My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD ; neither be weary of his correction:
11BOEIPA kah thuituennah he ka ca nang loh sawtsit boel lamtah amah kah toelthamnah te na mueipuel sak boeh.
12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
12BOEIPA loh a lungnah te tah a tluung dae pa bangla capa te a moeithen.
13¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
13Cueihnah aka hmu hlang neh lungcuei aka dang hlang tah a yoethen pai.
14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
14A thenpom te tangka thenpom lakah, a cangvuei khaw sui lakah then.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
15Te tah lungvang lakah kuel ngai tih na ngaihnah boeih long khaw pha uh mahpawh.
16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
16A bantang ah hinglung vang nah, a banvoei ah khuehtawn neh thangpomnah om.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
17A longpuei te omthennah longpuei la om tih a hawn te ngaimongnah la boeih om.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
18Hingnah thingkung cueihnah aka kop ham neh aka tu ham tah a uem om pai.
19The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
19BOEIPA loh cueihnah neh diklai a suen tih a lungcuei neh vaan a soepboe.
20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
20A mingnah rhangneh a dung khaw ueth tih khomong khaw buemtui la pha.
21¶ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
21Ka ca na mik te khohmang boel saeh, lungming cueihnah neh thuepnah te kueinah ne.
22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
22Na hinglu ham hingnah neh na rhawn ham mikdaithen la om ni.
23Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
23Te vaengah na longpuei te ngaikhuek la na cet vetih na kho tongtah mahpawh.
24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
24Na yalh vaengah na rhih voel pawt vetih na yalh thuk neh na ih khaw tui ni.
25Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
25Birhihnah aka pai buengrhuet neh halang rhoek aka muk khohli rhamrhael te khaw rhih boeh.
26For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
26BOEIPA tah nang ham uepnah la om vetih na kho te doong dong lamloh hang hoep bitni.
27¶ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it .
27A kungmah lamkah hnothen te hloh boeh. Na kut loh a saii ham vaengah na kut te Pathen dongah om saeh.
28Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
28Namah taengah a om lalah na hui te, “Na hui taengah cet dae, thangvuen ah ha mael lamtah kam paek bitni,” ti nah boeh.
29Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
29Namah taengah ngaikhuek la kho aka sa na hui te boethae neh phoh thil boeh.
30¶ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
30Boethae la nang aka saii pawt hlang te lungli lungla la oelh rhoe oelh boeh.
31¶ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
31Kuthlahnah hlang taengah thatlai boeh, anih kah longpuei te pakhat khaw tuek boeh.
32For the froward is abomination to the LORD : but his secret is with the righteous.
32BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi loh kho a hmang dae aka thuem taengah a baecenol om.
33¶ The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
33Halang im ah BOEIPA kah tapvoepnah om dae hlang dueng tolkhoeng tah yoe a then sak.
34Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
34Hmuiyoi rhoek ngawn tah amah loh a hnael vetih mangdaeng neh kodo te mikdaithen la a khueh.
35The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
35Thangpomnah tah aka cueih rhoek loh a pang uh tih aka ang loh yah a ludoeng.
