1My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
1Ka capa, kang patukhaih lok hae pahnet hmah, kang paek ih lok hae palung thungah pakuem ah;
2for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
2nang hanah hing sawkhaih hoi monghaih na paek tih.
3Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
3Tahmenhaih hoi loktang to caeh taak hmah; nangmah ih tahnong ah a oih ah loe, na palung cabu pongah tarik ah:
4So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
4to tih nahaeloe Sithaw hmaa hoi kami hmaa ah mikhmai hnu ueloe, ahmin hoihaih na hnu tih.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
5Na palungthin boih hoi Angraeng oephaih to tawn ah; na panoekhaih pongah amha hmah.
6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
6Na caehhaih loklam kruekah anih to panoek ah, to tih nahaeloe na caehhaih loklam na hnusak tih.
7Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
7Na mikhnuk ah palungha baktiah om hmah; Angraeng to zii ah loe, hmuensae to caeh taak ah.
8It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
8To tih nahaeloe na thaquinawk ngantui o ueloe, na huhnawk doeh thacak o tih.
9Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
9Na tawnh ih hmuen, thingthai tangsuek hoiah Angraeng to pakoeh ah:
10so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
10to tiah na sak nahaeloe nang ih tapupnawk cang hoiah koi amthlai o ueloe, misurtui suekhaih muroihnawk doeh misurtui kangtha hoiah koi amthlai o tih.
11My son, don’t despise the LORD’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
11Ka capa, Angraeng thuitaekhaih to patoek hmah; ang zoehhaih lok pongah doeh palung naa hmah:
12for whom the LORD loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
12palung ih capa loe ampa mah thuitaek baktih toengah, Angraeng mah palung ih kami loe thuitaek ah oh.
13Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
13Palunghahaih pakrong moe, panoekhaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
14For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
14Palunghahaih loe sumkanglung pongah atho oh kue moe, sui pongah doeh hoih kue.
15She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
15Atho kaom thlung kathim pongah doeh atho nat kue, na koeh ih hmuennawk boih hoiah doeh patah thai ai.
16Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
16A bantang bangah hingsawkhaih to a suek, banqoi bangah loe angraenghaih hoi khingyahaih to a suek.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
17Palunghahaih loklam loe nawm moe, a caehhaih loklamnawk boih ah monghaih to oh.
18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
18Palunghahaih loe palunghahaih patawn kami hanah hinghaih thingkung ah oh; palunghahaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
19By wisdom the LORD founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
19Angraeng mah long hae palunghahaih hoiah ni sak; vannawk doeh panoekhaih hoiah a suek.
20By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
20Kathuk parai tuipuinawk to a palunghahaih hoiah tapraek moe, tamai thung hoiah dantuinawk to a kraksak.
21My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
21Ka capa, palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih to na hmaa hoiah amkhraengsak ving hmah; pakuem poe ah.
22so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
22To tiah na sak nahaeloe na pakhra hinghaih ah om ueloe, na tahnong kranghoihaih bungmu ah om tih.
23Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
23Kholong caeh naah raihaih na tawn mak ai; khok doeh na pathuih mak ai.
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
24Na iih naah zithaih na tawn mak ai; ue, kahnaep ah na iip thai tih.
25Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
25Tasoehhaih na tawn mak ai, kahoih ai kaminawk mah parohaih doeh na tong mak ai.
26for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
26Angraeng loe nam haahaih ah om ueloe, dongh pongah amanh han ai ah na khoknawk to patawn tih.
27Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
27Na ban ah sakthaihaih na tawnh naah, kahoih hmuen sak pae han krak, tiah na poek ih kami nuiah kahoih hmuen to sah ai ah om hmah.
28Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
28Na imtaeng kami han paek koi hmuen na tawnh, toe anih khaeah vaihi loe amlaem raeh, khawnbang nang zoh let naah kang paek han hmang, tiah thui hmah.
29Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
29Nang oephaih hoiah khosah na imtaeng kami khaeah, kasae sak han atim hmah.
30Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
30Na nuiah sethaih sah ai kami to, tidoeh na ai ah zoeh hmah.
31Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
31Pacaekthlaek kami ih hmuen to ut hmah loe, a caehhaih loklam to awt hmah.
32For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.
32Poek angkawnh kaminawk loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe poektoeng kaminawk loe angmah hoi nawnto angkomhaih to a sak.
33The LORD’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
33Angraeng tangoenghaih loe kahoih ai kaminawk imthung ah phak, toe katoeng kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen loe Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek.
34Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
34Minawk pahnui thuih kami to anih mah pahnui thuih toeng, toe kami tlim ah khosah kaminawk khaeah loe tahmenhaih to a paek.
35The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
35Palungha kaminawk loe lensawkhaih to toepsak; toe amthu kaminawk loe azatsak.
