Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,
1Ka ca, na hui ham rhi na khang tih kholong ham na kut na tum atah,
2you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth.
2Na ka dongkah olthui loh n'hlaeh coeng tih na ka dongkah olthui loh n'khaih.
3Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
3Te te na saii dongah ka ca aw, na huul uh cakhaw na hui kah kut ah ni na pha hae. Te dongah cet, mawn lamtah na hui hloep laeh.
4Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
4Na mik te ih sak boeh, na mikkhu te ngam boeh.
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
5Kut dongkah kirhang bangla sayuep kut dongkah vaa bangla namah huul uh laeh.
6Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;
6Kolhnaw aw lunghi taengla cet lah, anih kah khosing ke hmu lamtah cueih van lah.
7which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
7A taengah rhalboei khaw, rhoiboei khaw, aka taemrhai ham khaw om mai pawh.
8provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
8Khohal ah a buh te a soepsoei tih cangah ah a caak te a yoep.
9How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?
9Kolhnaw aw me hil nim na yalh vetih na ih lamloh me vaengah nim na thoh ve?
10A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep—
10Bet ih, bet ngam, kut poem bet neh na yalh.
11so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.
11Te vaengah na khodaeng te aka cet paitai bangla, na tloelnah loh photling aka bai hlang bangla ha pawk ni.
12A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth,
12Aka muen hlang neh boethae hlang tah a ka dongkah olhmaang nen ni a pongpa.
13who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers,
13A mik neh a mikhip, a kho neh a thui, a kutdawn neh a thuinuet.
14in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.
14A lungbuei kah a calaak neh a tuetang takuem ah boethae bueng a paem tih, tingtoehnah neh hohmuhnah a khuen.
15Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.
15Te dongah amah kah rhainah loh buengrhuet a thoeng thil vetih hoeihnah om kolla khaem pahoi ni.
16There are six things which the LORD hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
16He parhuk he BOEIPA loh a thinah tih a hinglu dongah tueilaehkoi khuikah tueilaehkoi parhih tah.
17arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
17A honghi lai aka ludoeng kah a mik, ommongsitoe kah thii aka long sak kah a kut,
18a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,
18Boethae kopoek aka paem lungbuei, boethae dongla aka yong paitok kho,
19a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
19A hong kah laipai loh laithae ol a sat tih pacaboeina lakli ah tingtoehnah la a khuen.
20My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.
20Ka ca, na pa kah olpaek te kueinah lamtah na nu kah olkhueng phap sut boeh.
21Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.
21Na lungbuei ah rhawp hlaengtang lamtah na rhawn ah rhawp laikoeinah lah.
22When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.
22Na caeh vaengah nang m'mawt vetih na yalh vaengah nang te n'tawt ni, na haenghang vaengah nang n'lolmang puei ni.
23For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
23Olpaek tah hmaithoi ni, olkhueng khaw vangnah ni, thuituennah dongkah toelthamnah khaw hingnah longpuei ni.
24to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.
24Huta thae taeng lamkah neh kholong nu ol hnal lamloh nang aka ngaithuen ham ni.
25Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
25A sakthen te na thinko nen khaw nai boeh, a mikkhu neh nang te n'hloih boel saeh.
26For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
26Pumyoi nu tah buh hluem ham ni, tedae hlang yuu loh hinglu phutlo khaw a hoem.
27Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?
27Hlang kah a rhang dongah hmai a poep lalah a himbai te hoeh mahpawt a?
28Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
28Hlang pakhat te hmai-alh dongah a caeh lalah a kho te duih mahpawt a?
29So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
29A hui kah yuu te aka kun thil tih aka ben tah pakhat khaw hmil tangloeng mahpawh.
30Men don’t despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry,
30A hinglu kah a lamlum dip sak hamla a huen atah hlanghuen te hlang loh hnoelrhoeng mahpawt a?
31but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.
31A hmuh uh atah a pueh parhih la a sah saeh lamtah a im kah a boei a rhaeng te boeih a phai saeh.
32He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.
32Lungbuei aka talh huta tah samphaih, a hinglu aka phae long ni te te a saii.
33He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away.
33Tlohtat neh yah a dong vetih anih kokhahnah te hmata mahpawh.
34For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won’t spare in the day of vengeance.
34Phulohnah khohnin ah a va kah kosi neh thatlainah dongah lungma ti mahpawh.
35He won’t regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
35A mikhmuh kah tlansum pakhat khaw khuen pah pawt vetih kapbaih yet cakhaw huem pah mahpawh.
