Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
1Manghai Lemuel kah olka olrhuh. He nen ni amah khaw a manu loh a toel.
2“Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
2Ka ca me tlam lae? Ka bungko lamkah ka capa me tlam lae? Ka olcaeng dong lamkah ka capa me tlam lae?
3Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
3Na thadueng te huta pum dongah pae tarha boeh, na longpuei te manghai rhoek aka khoe ham ni te.
4It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
4Manghai Lemuel ham bueng moenih. Manghai rhoek loh misurtui a ok ham moenih. Boeica rhoek long khaw yu a tuep ham moenih.
5lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
5A ok tih a taem te a hnilh atah, phacip phabaem ca boeih kah dumlai te talh ve.
6Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
6Yu te aka milh taengah, misur te a hinglu aka khahing taengah pae uh.
7Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
7O saeh lamtah a khodaeng te hnilh saeh. A thakthaenah khaw koep poek boel saeh.
8Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
8Olmueh ham khaw, cadah cadum ca boeih kah dumlai ham khaw na ka te ong pah.
9Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
9Na ka te ong lamtah duengnah neh laitloek pah. Mangdaeng neh khodaeng te khaw tang sak lah.
10Who can find a worthy woman? For her value is far above rubies.
10Tatthai nu he unim aka hmu? Lungvang lakah a phu khaw kuel.
11The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
11A boei kah lungbuei khaw anih dongah pangtung tih, kutbuem khaw vaitah pawh.
12She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
12A boei te hnothen neh a thuung tih, a hing tue khuiah boethae om pawh.
13She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
13Tumul neh hlamik a tlap tih a kut naep la a saii.
14She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
14thimpom sangpho bangla om tih, amah caak khaw khohla bangsang lamkah hang khuen.
15She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
15Khoyin ah thoo tih a imkhui ham maeh, a tanu rhoek ham hma a taeng pah.
16She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
16Khohmuen te a mangtaeng tih, amah kutci neh a lai. Misur khaw a tue rhoe la a tue coeng.
17She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
17A cinghen te sarhi neh a yen tih, a bantha khaw a huel.
18She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn’t go out by night.
18A thenpom kah a then te a ten tih, khoyin, khoyin ah a hmaithoi khaw thi tlaih pawh.
19She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
19Cunghmui te a kut a yueng thil tih, a kutbom neh tahcap a cap.
20She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
20A kutpha loh mangdaeng a koihlawm tih, a kut te khodaeng hamla a yueng pah.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
21A imkhui boeih loh pueinak a lingdik neh a om dongah, vuel tue ah khaw, a imkhui ham rhih voel pawh.
22She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
22Hniphaih te amah ham a tah tih, a hnitang neh daidi pueinak khaw om.
23Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
23A boei te vongka ah a ming uh tih, khohmuen kah a ham rhoek taengah a ngol sak.
24She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
24Hni a tah te a yoih tih, lamko te Kanaan taengah a thak.
25Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
25Sarhi neh rhuepomnah te a pueinak nah tih, hmailong khohnin ah cupcup nuei.
26She opens her mouth with wisdom. Kind instruction is on her tongue.
26A ka te cueihnah neh a ang tih, a lai dongah sitlohnah olkhueng om.
27She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn’t eat the bread of idleness.
27A imkhui ah rhoilaeng khaw a pai tih, thangak buh khaw ca pawh.
28Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
28A ca rhoek loh a thoh hang neh anih te a uem uh tih, a boei long khaw anih te a thangthen bal.
29“Many women do noble things, but you excel them all.”
29Huta rhoek loh tatthai la muep a saii uh. Tedae nang long tah amih te a sola boeih na poe coeng.
30Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
30Mikdaithen khaw a honghi ni. Sakthen nu khaw a honghi la om. BOEIPA a rhih dongah ni anih te a thangthen.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!
31A kutci te amah taengah pae uh. A bibi dongah amah te vongka ah thangthen uh saeh.
