Proverbs 9
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
1Cueihnah loh a im a sak tih a tung parhih a vueh.
2She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
2A maeh te a ngawn tih misurtui neh a thoek tih a caboei te a tawn.
3She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
3Amah kah hula rhoek te a tueih tih, vangpuei hmuensang dangdoe lamkah a khue.
4Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
4Te phoeiah, “Unim hlangyoe, anih te lungbuei a talh khaw pahoi nong tak saeh.
5Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
5Halo, ka buh he ang uh lamtah misur ka thoek he o uh.
6Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
6Hlangyoe te hnoo lamtah hing uh, yakmingnah longpuei te uem uh.
7He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
7Hmuiyoi aka toel tah amah loh yah a poh tih, halang aka tluung tah amah loh nganboh a yook.
8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
8Hmuiyoi te tluung boeh namah m'hmuhuet ve. Aka cueih tah na tluung cakhaw nang n'lungnah ni.
9Give instruction to a wise man , and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man , and he will increase in learning.
9Aka cueih te pae lah taoe cueih ni, aka dueng te na tukkil atah rhingtuknah a thap ni.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
10BOEIPA hinyahnah tah cueihnah lamhma la om tih aka cim mingnah he yakmingnah la om.
11For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
11Kai rhangneh na khohnin te puh vetih nang hamla hingnah kum khaw a thap ni.
12If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it .
12Na cueih la na cueih mak atah namah ham ngawn ni. Hmui na yoih atah nang namah long ni na phueih eh.
13¶ A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
13Angvawk nu loh a poeyoek la kawk tih bang khaw ming pawh.
14For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
14Tedae a im thohka neh vangpuei hmuensang kah ngolkhoel dongah ngol.
15To call passengers who go right on their ways:
15Te vaengah a caehlong a dueng la longpuei ah aka pongpa rhoek te a khue.
16Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
16“Hlangyoe neh lungbuei aka talh tah pahoi ha pah saeh.
17Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
17A tui huen aka tui sak tih yinhnuk buh neh aka hmae,” a ti.
18But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
18Tedae saelkhui laedil ah sairhai pahoi a khue pah te ming pawh.
