King James Version with Apocrypha
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
1Ka capa, ka palunghahaih lok hae tahngaih loe, ka panoekhaih to pakuem ah;
2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
2to tih nahaeloe hmuen panoekhaih na tawn ueloe, na pahni mah panoekhaih to pakuem tih.
3¶ For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
3Zaehaih sak koeh nongpata ih pahni loe khoitui baktiah long moe, a thuih ih lok doeh situi pongah amnae kue;
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
4toe anih boenghaih loe ahmuet baktiah khaa moe, haa hnetto kaom sumsen baktiah noet.
5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
5Anih ih khoknawk loe duekhaih bangah anghum tathuk moe, a caehhaih loklam doeh hell ah akunh.
6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them .
6Anih loe hinghaih loklam to poek ai, a caehhaih loklamnawk loe cak ai, loklam doeh panoek ai.
7Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
7To pongah ka caanawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; ka thuih ih lok hae angqoi o taak hmah.
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
8To nongpata to kangthla ah caeh o taak ah loe, a im ih thok taengah doeh caeh o hmah;
9Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
9to tih ai nahaeloe pakoeh ah na ohhaih to minawk khaeah paek ving ueloe, na hinghaih saningnawk doeh tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk khaeah na paek ving moeng tih;
10Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
10nang ih hmuenmae hoiah kalah kaminawk ih zok to koi lat ueloe, toksak hoiah na hak ih hmuennawk to minawk im ah cawn ving tih.
11And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
11Na takpum hoi na ngan to qongh naah, palungset hoiah na om sut tih,
12And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
12to naah kawbangmaw thuitaekhaih to ka hnukma moe, zoehhaih lok doeh ka palung mah patoek boeh;
13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
13kai patukkungnawk ih lok to ka tahngai ai, nihcae mah patuk ih loknawk doeh ka tahngai ai.
14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
14Kai loe amkhueng kaminawk salakah kasae kami ah ni ka oh boeh, tiah na thui tih.
15¶ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
15Nangmah ih tui tabu thung ih tui to nae ah loe, nangmah ih tuikhaw thung ih tui to nae ah.
16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
16Na tuipuek to ahmuen kruekah long nasoe, vapui tuinawk baktiah loklam boih ah longsak ah.
17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
17Nangmah han khue long nasoe, minawk kalah han pazet hmah.
18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
18Na tuipuek loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe loe, na thendoeng nathuem ih zu hoiah kanawm ah khosah ah.
19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
19Anih loe palung koi kaom tasuk amno, koeh koi kaom tasuk baktiah om nasoe loe, anih ih tahnu mah na koehhaih to koepsak poe nasoe; ang palunghaih mah na palung to dipsak nasoe.
20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
20Ka capa, tipongah zaehaih sak koeh nongpata to na koeh moe, tangzat zaw nongpata to na takoih loe?
21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD , and he pondereth all his goings.
21Kami caehhaih loklamnawk loe Angraeng hmaa ah ni oh, a caehhaih loklamnawk boih Angraeng mah hnuk pae.
22¶ His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
22Kasae kami loe a sakpazaehaih hmuen pongah aman ueloe, a zaehaih quinawk mah anih to zaeng caeng tih.
23He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
23Anih amthuhaih loe nung parai pongah anih loe loklam amkhraeng ving ueloe, thuitaekhaih om ai ah dueh tih.
