Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
1Cueihnah loh n'khue moenih a? Lungcuei loh a ol a huel dae ta.
2On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands.
2Longpuei taengkah hmuensang som ah a im kah a hawn ah khaw pai ta.
3Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
3Vangpuei la a kun phai kah vongka hmoi ah khaw thohka kah a rhai ah khaw tamhoe ta.
4“I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
4Aw hlang rhoek, nangmih te kang khue tih ka olthang he khaw hlang capa ham ni.
5You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
5Hlangyoe rhoek loh khinglangnah yakming lamtah aka ang rhoek loh lungbuei te yakming lah.
6Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
6Hnatun uh, rhaengsang la ka thui dongah ka hmuilai ka ongnah he vanat la om.
7For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
7Ka ka loh oltak a thuep tih halangnah te ka hmuilai kah a tueilaehkoi ni.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
8Ka ka dongkah duengnah olthui boeih he a hloo vilvak moenih.
9They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
9Aka yakming ham tah boeih langya tih mingnah aka dang ham tah thuem ngawn.
10Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.
10Ka thuituennah tangka nen pawt tih, mingnah he sui a coelh lakah khaw lo lah.
11For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
11Cueihnah tah lungvang lakah then tih ngaihnah sarhui khaw te nen te vanat sak thai pawh.
12“I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
12Kamah tah cueihnah, khinglangnah neh kho ka sak tih thuepnah dongkah mingnah te ka hmuh.
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
13BOEIPA hinyahnah dongah a thae la koevoeinah te thiinah ham ni hoemdamnah neh a thae longpuei khaw, calaak ol khaw ka hmuhuet.
14Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
14Cilsuep neh lungming cueihnah tah kamah taengah, ka yakmingnah neh, kamah ham thayung thamal la om.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
15Kai rhangneh manghai rhoek loh manghai tih boeica rhoek loh duengnah neh a taem uh.
16By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
16Kai rhangneh mangpa rhoek khaw boei uh tih hlangcong boeih loh duengnah lai a tloek uh.
17I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
17Kai aka lung, aka lungnah te ka lungnah tih kai aka toem rhoek loh kai m'hmuh uh.
18With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity.
18Khuehtawn neh thangpomnah khaw, aka nguel boeirhaeng neh duengnah khaw kamah taengah om.
19My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.
19Sui neh suicilh lakah ka thaih then tih ka cangvuei khaw cak lakah cae.
20I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,
20Duengnah caehlong ah tiktamnah a hawn khui la ka pongpa.
21that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
21Kai aka lungnah tah ka koe ka pang sak tih a thakvoh te ka koei pah.
22“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.
22Daengrhae daengkhoi lamkah a bibi, hlamat kah a longpuei a tongcuek ah BOEIPA loh kai n'lai coeng.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.
23Khosuen lamloh, a lu lamloh, diklai khothoeng lamloh kai n'hloe.
24When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water.
24Kai ka poe vaengah tuidung khaw ana om pawh, tuisih tui ana phul pawh.
25Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born;
25Tlang a buek hlan ah som a tueng hlan ah ka cuen coeng.
26while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
26Te vaengah diklai khaw, tollong khaw, lunglai dongkah laipi lamhma khaw ana saii moenih.
27When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
27Vaan a soepsoei ham vaengkah, tuidung hman kah a kueluek te a tarhit ham vaengkah khaw kamah ni.
28when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,
28A sang hmuen kah khomong thah sak ham khaw, tuidung tuiphuet tanglue sak ham vaengah khaw,
29when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
29Tuitunli te a rhi suem pah ham vaengah khaw ka om coeng. Te dongah tui loh BOEIPA ol te poe pawh. Diklai kah a yung te a tarhit ham vaengah ka om coeng.
30then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
30Amah taengah bibi thai la ka om tih hnin bal hnin bal hlahmaenah neh ka om. A tue boeih dongah amah mikhmuh ah ka luem.
31rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
31A khohmuen kah lunglai dongah aka luem loh hlang ca te khaw ka hlahmaenah coeng.
32“Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
32Te dongah ca rhoek loh kamah taengah hnatun uh lamtah kamah kah yoethen longpuei ngaithuen uh.
33Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.
33Thuituennah he hnatun lamtah cueih lamtah hlahpham boeh.
34Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
34Kamah taengah aka hnatun Ka thohkhaih taengah a hnin a hnin ah aka hak, ka thohka kah rhungsut aka ngaithuen hlang tah a yoethen pai.
35For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from the LORD.
35Kai aka hmu long tah hingnah te a hmuh rhoe a hmuh tih, BOEIPA taengkah kolonah a dang.
36But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”
36Tedae kai aka hmaang long tah a hinglu a huet, kai aka thiinah boeih loh dueknah te a lungnah.
