King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
1Ka ca, na hui ham rhi na khang tih kholong ham na kut na tum atah,
2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
2Na ka dongkah olthui loh n'hlaeh coeng tih na ka dongkah olthui loh n'khaih.
3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
3Te te na saii dongah ka ca aw, na huul uh cakhaw na hui kah kut ah ni na pha hae. Te dongah cet, mawn lamtah na hui hloep laeh.
4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
4Na mik te ih sak boeh, na mikkhu te ngam boeh.
5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter , and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
5Kut dongkah kirhang bangla sayuep kut dongkah vaa bangla namah huul uh laeh.
6¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
6Kolhnaw aw lunghi taengla cet lah, anih kah khosing ke hmu lamtah cueih van lah.
7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
7A taengah rhalboei khaw, rhoiboei khaw, aka taemrhai ham khaw om mai pawh.
8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
8Khohal ah a buh te a soepsoei tih cangah ah a caak te a yoep.
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
9Kolhnaw aw me hil nim na yalh vetih na ih lamloh me vaengah nim na thoh ve?
10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
10Bet ih, bet ngam, kut poem bet neh na yalh.
11So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
11Te vaengah na khodaeng te aka cet paitai bangla, na tloelnah loh photling aka bai hlang bangla ha pawk ni.
12¶ A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
12Aka muen hlang neh boethae hlang tah a ka dongkah olhmaang nen ni a pongpa.
13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
13A mik neh a mikhip, a kho neh a thui, a kutdawn neh a thuinuet.
14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
14A lungbuei kah a calaak neh a tuetang takuem ah boethae bueng a paem tih, tingtoehnah neh hohmuhnah a khuen.
15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
15Te dongah amah kah rhainah loh buengrhuet a thoeng thil vetih hoeihnah om kolla khaem pahoi ni.
16¶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
16He parhuk he BOEIPA loh a thinah tih a hinglu dongah tueilaehkoi khuikah tueilaehkoi parhih tah.
17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
17A honghi lai aka ludoeng kah a mik, ommongsitoe kah thii aka long sak kah a kut,
18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
18Boethae kopoek aka paem lungbuei, boethae dongla aka yong paitok kho,
19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
19A hong kah laipai loh laithae ol a sat tih pacaboeina lakli ah tingtoehnah la a khuen.
20¶ My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
20Ka ca, na pa kah olpaek te kueinah lamtah na nu kah olkhueng phap sut boeh.
21Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
21Na lungbuei ah rhawp hlaengtang lamtah na rhawn ah rhawp laikoeinah lah.
22When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
22Na caeh vaengah nang m'mawt vetih na yalh vaengah nang te n'tawt ni, na haenghang vaengah nang n'lolmang puei ni.
23For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
23Olpaek tah hmaithoi ni, olkhueng khaw vangnah ni, thuituennah dongkah toelthamnah khaw hingnah longpuei ni.
24To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
24Huta thae taeng lamkah neh kholong nu ol hnal lamloh nang aka ngaithuen ham ni.
25Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
25A sakthen te na thinko nen khaw nai boeh, a mikkhu neh nang te n'hloih boel saeh.
26For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
26Pumyoi nu tah buh hluem ham ni, tedae hlang yuu loh hinglu phutlo khaw a hoem.
27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
27Hlang kah a rhang dongah hmai a poep lalah a himbai te hoeh mahpawt a?
28Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
28Hlang pakhat te hmai-alh dongah a caeh lalah a kho te duih mahpawt a?
29So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
29A hui kah yuu te aka kun thil tih aka ben tah pakhat khaw hmil tangloeng mahpawh.
30Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
30A hinglu kah a lamlum dip sak hamla a huen atah hlanghuen te hlang loh hnoelrhoeng mahpawt a?
31But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
31A hmuh uh atah a pueh parhih la a sah saeh lamtah a im kah a boei a rhaeng te boeih a phai saeh.
32But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
32Lungbuei aka talh huta tah samphaih, a hinglu aka phae long ni te te a saii.
33A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
33Tlohtat neh yah a dong vetih anih kokhahnah te hmata mahpawh.
34For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
34Phulohnah khohnin ah a va kah kosi neh thatlainah dongah lungma ti mahpawh.
35He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
35A mikhmuh kah tlansum pakhat khaw khuen pah pawt vetih kapbaih yet cakhaw huem pah mahpawh.
