King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
1Ka ca ka olthui he ngaithuen lamtah ka olpaek he na taengah khoem ne.
2Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
2Ka olpaek he ngaithuen lamtah hing puei. Ka olkhueng he na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih la om saeh.
3Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
3Te te na kutdawn dongah hlaengtang lamtah na lungbuei cabael dongah daek lah.
4Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
4Cueihnah te, “Ka ngannu nang tah,” ti nah lamtah yakmingnah te pacaboeina la khue.
5That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
5Rhalawt nu taeng lamkah khaw, kholong nu kah hoem ol lamkah khaw namah aka ngaithuen ham ni.
6¶ For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
6Ka im bangbuet kah thohhuel long ka dan.
7And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
7Te vaengah hlangyoe rhoek te ka hmuh tih cadong ca rhoek khuiah a lungbuei aka talh khaw ka yakming.
8Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
8Huta imdak kah bangkil te a paan tih huta im kah longpuei la luei.
9In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
9Hlaemhmah ah, khothun kholaeh ah, khoyin yinthuem neh khohmuep ah khaw, cet.
10And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
10Anih aka doe ham huta ngawn tah pumyoi hnisui neh a lungbuei a uep coeng ke.
11(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
11Tekah huta tah hue a sak tih a im ah khaw a thinthah. A khopha khaw duem pawh.
12Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
12Tahae nawn ah imkawt ah, tahae ah toltung neh bangkil takuem ah rhongngol coeng.
13So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
13Tekah cadong te a sol tih a mok, a maelhmai khaw a cadong ham a tanglue pah tih cadong te,
14I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
14Kamah taengkah rhoepnah hmueih neh tihnin ah tah ka olcaeng te ka thuung coeng.
15Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
15Te dongah nang doe ham neh na mikhmuh ah toem hamla ka mop tih nang kam hmuh tangloeng.
16I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works , with fine linen of Egypt.
16Ka soengca te Egypt hnitang, cenlang, hniphaih neh ka phaih coeng.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17Ka thingkong dongah murrah, thingul, thingsa ka khueh thil coeng.
18Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
18Halo lah a hlo neh mincang duela hmilhmal sih lamtah, pumnai neh yoka sih.
19For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
19Tongpa loh a im ah om pawt tih khohla ah yiin la cet coeng.
20He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
20A kut dongah tangka cun a khuen tih hlalum hnin ah ni a im la ha pawk eh?,” a ti.
21With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
21Anih te a rhingtuknah cungkuem neh a yoek tih a hmuilai kah hamsum neh a heh.
22He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
22Te dongah huta hnukah maeh la aka poeh vaito bangla, aka ang thuituennah dongkah khocin rhui bangla cet.
23Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
23Vaa loh pael khuila a kun paitok bangla a thin te thaltang loh a khoh pah duela a hinglu te ming pawh.
24¶ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
24Te dongah ca rhoek loh kai ol he hnatun uh lamtah ka ka dongkah olthui he hnatung uh laeh.
25Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
25Anih kah longpuei la mael boeh, na lungbuei te anih kah a hawn la khohmang sak boeh.
26For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
26Anih loh hmalaem la muep a cungku sak tih aka tlung rhoek khaw boeih a ngawn coeng.
27Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
27A im khaw saelkhui longpuei ah om tih dueknah imkhui la suntla pai.
