Proverbs 5
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
1Ka ca aw, ka cueihnah he hnatung lamtah ka lungcuei dongla na hna kaeng lah.
2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
2Thuepnah neh mingnah te ngaithuen hamla na hmuilai long khaw tuem uh saeh.
3¶ For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
3Rhalawt nu kah a hmuilai ah khoilitui cip tih a lai khaw situi lakah hnal.
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
4Tedae hmailong ah tah anih te pantong bangla khahing tih cunghang paihat bangla haat.
5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
5A kho te dueknah khuila suntla tih a khokan loh saelkhui la a doek.
6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them .
6Hingnah caehlong lakah a ming pawh a namtlak likloek te saelh ve ne.
7Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
7Te dongah ka ca rhoek kai ol he hnatun uh laeh, ka ka dongkah olthui te nong tak boeh.
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
8Na longpuei te anih neh lakhla sak lamtah a im thohka lam khaw mop boeh.
9Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
9Na mueithennah te a tloe taengla ham pae vetih na kum muenying muenyang la hang khueh ve.
10Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
10Na thadueng te rhalawt rhoek cung uh vetih na patangnah phu te kholong imkhui la pawk ve.
11And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
11Na hmailong ah na nguek vetih na pum na saa khaw hmawn hae ni.
12And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
12Te vaengah, “Thuituennah te ka hmuhuet tih toelthamnah khaw ka lungbuei loh a tlaitlaek pai.
13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
13Ka saya ol te ka hnatun pawh kai aka cang puei taengah khaw ka hna ka kaeng pawh.
14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
14Hlangping neh rhaengpuei lakli kah boethae sumsiit te vat ka pha,” na ti hae ni
15¶ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
15Na tuitung dongkah tui neh na tuito lamtah aka sih te o.
16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
16Na tuisih te kawtpoeng ah, sokca tui te toltung ah phuet saeh.
17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
17Nang namah bueng hamla om saeh lamtah na taengkah kholong ham boel saeh.
18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
18Na thunsih te yoethen la om saeh lamtah na camoe kah na yuu dongah kohoe sak.
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 tah sayuk rhuinu lunguem bangla, a sukbam te sakhi rhuinu mikdaithen bangla a tuetang boeih ah nang te m'hmilhmal sak saeh lamtah a lungnah loh m'palang sak yoeyah saeh.
20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
20Ba ham lae ka ca loh rhalawt la na palang vetih kholong kah a rhang te na kop eh.
21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD , and he pondereth all his goings.
21Hlang kah longpuei neh a namtlak boeih a saelh te khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah om.
22¶ His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
22Halang te amah kathaesainah loh amah te a tuuk tih a tholhnah rhui loh a ban.
23He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
23Anih thuituennah a om pawt dongah duek vetih a anglat aih dongah palang ni.
