Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.
1Cueihnah loh a im a sak tih a tung parhih a vueh.
2She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.
2A maeh te a ngawn tih misurtui neh a thoek tih a caboei te a tawn.
3She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:
3Amah kah hula rhoek te a tueih tih, vangpuei hmuensang dangdoe lamkah a khue.
4“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
4Te phoeiah, “Unim hlangyoe, anih te lungbuei a talh khaw pahoi nong tak saeh.
5“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
5Halo, ka buh he ang uh lamtah misur ka thoek he o uh.
6Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”
6Hlangyoe te hnoo lamtah hing uh, yakmingnah longpuei te uem uh.
7One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
7Hmuiyoi aka toel tah amah loh yah a poh tih, halang aka tluung tah amah loh nganboh a yook.
8Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
8Hmuiyoi te tluung boeh namah m'hmuhuet ve. Aka cueih tah na tluung cakhaw nang n'lungnah ni.
9Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.
9Aka cueih te pae lah taoe cueih ni, aka dueng te na tukkil atah rhingtuknah a thap ni.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
10BOEIPA hinyahnah tah cueihnah lamhma la om tih aka cim mingnah he yakmingnah la om.
11For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.
11Kai rhangneh na khohnin te puh vetih nang hamla hingnah kum khaw a thap ni.
12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.
12Na cueih la na cueih mak atah namah ham ngawn ni. Hmui na yoih atah nang namah long ni na phueih eh.
13The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and knows nothing.
13Angvawk nu loh a poeyoek la kawk tih bang khaw ming pawh.
14She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
14Tedae a im thohka neh vangpuei hmuensang kah ngolkhoel dongah ngol.
15to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,
15Te vaengah a caehlong a dueng la longpuei ah aka pongpa rhoek te a khue.
16“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
16“Hlangyoe neh lungbuei aka talh tah pahoi ha pah saeh.
17“Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
17A tui huen aka tui sak tih yinhnuk buh neh aka hmae,” a ti.
18But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
18Tedae saelkhui laedil ah sairhai pahoi a khue pah te ming pawh.
