Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
1Thangvuen khohnin ham te yan boeh, khohnin pakhat loh mebang hang khuen ham khaw na ming moenih.
2Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
2Hlanglak loh nang n'thangthen saeh lamtah, namah kah ka long boel saeh. Kholong long saeh lamtah, namah kah hmuilai long boel saeh.
3A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
3Lungto kah a rhih neh laivin kah a khiing khaw om. Te rhoi lakkah hlang ang kah konoinah tah rhih.
4Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
4Kosi kah a muennah neh thintoek lungpook khaw tho coeng dae, thatlainah hmai ah ulae aka pai thai?
5Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
5Hmantang kah toelthamnah he, aka thuh uh lungnah lakah then.
6The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
6Lungnah dongah hlang loh n'tloh sak tah tangnah ham om dae, lunguet kah moknah tah rhoekoe.
7A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
7Aka hah kah hinglu loh khoilitui pataeng a suntlae dae, aka pongnaeng kah hinglu long tah khahing khaw boeih a didip sak.
8As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
8A hmuen lamkah aka poeng hlang khaw, a bu dong lamkah aka coe vaa bangla om.
9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
9Situi neh bo-ul loh lungbuei ko a hoe sak. Hinglu dongkah cilsuep loh a hui taengah olding la om.
10Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
10Namah hui neh olrhoep khaw na pa kah a hui khaw hnoo boeh. Rhainah hnin ah na manuca kah im te na cet pawt ve ne. A hla kah manuca lakah a yoei kah na imben te then ngai.
11Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
11Ka ca nang cueih lamtah ka lungbuei a kohoe saeh. Te daengah ni kai aka veet te ol ka thuung thai eh.
12A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
12Aka thaai long tah boethae a hmuh vaengah a thuh tak, hlangyoe rhoek long tah a paan uh dongah lai a sah uh.
13Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
13Hlanglak kah rhi a khang pah vaengah a himbai mah lo saeh, kholong nu ham atah a laikoi pa akhaw.
14He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
14Mincang a thoh neh ol ue la a hui yoethen aka pae khaw, anih te rhunkhuennah lamni a nawt eh.
15A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
15Hohmuhnah neh olpungkacan nu khaw, tlanbuk hnin vaengkah tuicip a puh neh vai uh.
16restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
16Anih aka khoem te khohli aka khoem bangla, a bantang kut bueng neh situi aka paco bangla om.
17Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
17Thi te thi loh a haat sak bangla, hlang khaw a hui kah mikhmuh long ni a haat sak.
18Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
18Thaibu aka kueinah loh a thaih a caak vetih, a boei kah bitat aka ngaithuen te a thangpom ni.
19Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
19Tui sokah maelhmai neh a maelhmai a loh uh bangla, hlang kah lungbuei he hlang taeng long ni a tueng.
20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
20Saelkhui neh Abaddon, Abaddon long tah hah rhoi tlaih pawh. Hlang kah a mik he khaw hah tlaih pawh.
21The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
21Cak hamla cak am, sui hamla hmai-ulh om dae, hlang tah a ka dongkah a hoemnah ming uh.
22Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
22Hlang ang te sum khuikah canghum lakli ah sumkhal neh na daeng cakhaw a khui lamkah a anglat te coe mahpawh.
23Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
23Na boiva kah a hmuethma te ming rhoe ming lah, tuping taengla na lungbuei te khueh.
24for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
24Khohrhang he kumhal ham moenih, rhuisam khaw cadilcahma kah cadilcahma, tekah cadilcahma patoeng duela nguel mahpawh.
25The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
25Sulrham khaw tlaai, toian khaw poe dae tlang kah baelhing bangla a coi uh.
26The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
26Tuca rhoek te na pueinak la, kikong te khohmuen phu la om.
27There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
27Maae suktui carhil ngawn tah na buh la om. na imkhui ham khaw buh la, na hula ham khaw hingnah la coeng.
