Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
1Ka ca, kai kah olkhueng he hnilh boel lamtah ka olpaek he na lungbuei loh kueinah saeh.
2for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
2Na hingnah khohnin neh kum a sen vaengah nang hamla ngaimongnah han thap uh bitni.
3Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
3Sitlohnah neh uepomnah loh nang te n'hnoo boel saeh. Te te na rhawn dongah hlaengtang lamtah na lungbuei cabael dongah daek lah.
4So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
4Te tlam te Pathen neh hlang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen neh lungmingnah then te dang van lah.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
5BOEIPA dongah na lungbuei boeih neh pangtung lamtah namah kah yakmingnah dongah hangdang boeh.
6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
6Na longpuei boeih ah amah te ming lamtah amah loh na caehlong a dueng sak bitni.
7Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
7Na mikhmuh dawk neh aka cueih la om boeh, BOEIPA te rhih lamtah boethae te nong tak.
8It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
8Na tharhui ham sadingnah neh na rhuh ham a hliing la om ni.
9Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
9BOEIPA te na boeirhaeng neh, na cangvuei boeih khuikah a tanglue neh thangpom lah.
10so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
10Te daengah ni na khai te khobuh neh baetawt vetih misur thai khaw na va-am dongah puh ni.
11My son, don’t despise the LORD’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
11BOEIPA kah thuituennah he ka ca nang loh sawtsit boel lamtah amah kah toelthamnah te na mueipuel sak boeh.
12for whom the LORD loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
12BOEIPA loh a lungnah te tah a tluung dae pa bangla capa te a moeithen.
13Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
13Cueihnah aka hmu hlang neh lungcuei aka dang hlang tah a yoethen pai.
14For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
14A thenpom te tangka thenpom lakah, a cangvuei khaw sui lakah then.
15She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
15Te tah lungvang lakah kuel ngai tih na ngaihnah boeih long khaw pha uh mahpawh.
16Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
16A bantang ah hinglung vang nah, a banvoei ah khuehtawn neh thangpomnah om.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
17A longpuei te omthennah longpuei la om tih a hawn te ngaimongnah la boeih om.
18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
18Hingnah thingkung cueihnah aka kop ham neh aka tu ham tah a uem om pai.
19By wisdom the LORD founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
19BOEIPA loh cueihnah neh diklai a suen tih a lungcuei neh vaan a soepboe.
20By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
20A mingnah rhangneh a dung khaw ueth tih khomong khaw buemtui la pha.
21My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
21Ka ca na mik te khohmang boel saeh, lungming cueihnah neh thuepnah te kueinah ne.
22so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
22Na hinglu ham hingnah neh na rhawn ham mikdaithen la om ni.
23Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
23Te vaengah na longpuei te ngaikhuek la na cet vetih na kho tongtah mahpawh.
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
24Na yalh vaengah na rhih voel pawt vetih na yalh thuk neh na ih khaw tui ni.
25Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
25Birhihnah aka pai buengrhuet neh halang rhoek aka muk khohli rhamrhael te khaw rhih boeh.
26for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
26BOEIPA tah nang ham uepnah la om vetih na kho te doong dong lamloh hang hoep bitni.
27Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
27A kungmah lamkah hnothen te hloh boeh. Na kut loh a saii ham vaengah na kut te Pathen dongah om saeh.
28Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
28Namah taengah a om lalah na hui te, “Na hui taengah cet dae, thangvuen ah ha mael lamtah kam paek bitni,” ti nah boeh.
29Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
29Namah taengah ngaikhuek la kho aka sa na hui te boethae neh phoh thil boeh.
30Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
30Boethae la nang aka saii pawt hlang te lungli lungla la oelh rhoe oelh boeh.
31Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
31Kuthlahnah hlang taengah thatlai boeh, anih kah longpuei te pakhat khaw tuek boeh.
32For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.
32BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi loh kho a hmang dae aka thuem taengah a baecenol om.
33The LORD’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
33Halang im ah BOEIPA kah tapvoepnah om dae hlang dueng tolkhoeng tah yoe a then sak.
34Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
34Hmuiyoi rhoek ngawn tah amah loh a hnael vetih mangdaeng neh kodo te mikdaithen la a khueh.
35The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
35Thangpomnah tah aka cueih rhoek loh a pang uh tih aka ang loh yah a ludoeng.
