Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,
1Ka ca, ka ol na doe tih ka olpaek he na khuiah na khoem atah,
2so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
2Cueihnah te na hna neh hnatung lamtah na lungbuei te lungcuei taengla maelh.
3yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
3Yakmingnah ham te khue tih lungcuei ham na ol na huel atah,
4if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;
4Te te cak bangla na moeh tih kawn bangla na thaih atah,
5then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
5BOEIPA hinyahnah te yakming lamtah Pathen kah mingnah te dang van.
6For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
6BOEIPA long tah a ka dong lamkah cueihnah ni mingnah neh lungcuei la a paek.
7He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
7Aka thuem ham tah lungming cueihnah khaw a khoem a khoem pah tih thincaknah neh aka cet ham photling la om.
8that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.
8Tiktamnah kah caehlong te a kueinah tih a hlangcim, hlangcim kah longpuei tah a ngaithuen pah.
9Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
9Te daengah ni duengnah, tiktamnah, vanat la namtlak then boeih te na yakming eh.
10For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
10Cueihnah te na lungbuei khuila ha kun vaengah mingnah loh na hinglu te a hmae sak ni.
11Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
11Thuepnah loh nang te n'ngaithuen vetih lungcuei loh nang n'kueinah ni.
12to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,
12Boethae longpuei lamkah khaw, calaak ol aka thui hlang taeng lamkah khaw nang ng'huul ni.
13who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness,
13Hmaisuep longpuei ah pongpa hamla, a dueng caehlong a toeng.
14who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil,
14Boethae saii ham ko aka hoe loh boethae calaak dongah omngaih uh.
15who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,
15A caehlong aka paihaeh sak rhoek loh a namtlak ah kho a hmang.
16to deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,
16Kholong hlanglak nu taeng lamkah neh anih kah hoem ol khui lamloh nang aka huul ham ni.
17who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God;
17A camoe kah a boeihlum te a hnoo tih a Pathen kah paipi te a hnilh.
18for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.
18A imkhui khaw duek hamla aka a namtlak khaw sairhai taengla ngooi coeng.
19None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life.
19Anih taengla aka pawk boeih tah ha mael uh voel pawt dae hingnah caehlong khaw kae uh hae pawh.
20Therefore walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
20Te daengah ni hlang then longpuei ah na pongpa vetih hlang dueng kah caehlong khaw na ngaithuen eh.
21For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.
21Aka thuem rhoek long tah khohmuen te kho a sak uh thil vetih a khuiah kodam la sueng uh ni.
22But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
22Tedae halang rhoek tah khohmuen lamloh a hnawt uh vetih hnukpoh rhoek khaw a khui lamkah a phuk uh ni.
