Thuchihbu 30
1 Jakeh chapa Agur thusei dohho hichea hi kiphong doh ahi. O Pakai keima kachol in kalhasam lheh tai.
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle: the man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
2 Keima mihem khat hina angol-a kahi, chule mihem thil hetkhen themna bang in hetkhenna kainei tapoi.
"Surely I am the most ignorant man, and do not have a man's understanding.
3 Keiman chihna thucheng kaja kha hih laijin, mithengpa kiti jong kaphongdoh kha naipoi.
I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Pathen tailou koiham vanna kal touva hung kumsuh kit? Koiham akhut tum’a huituh theija? Koiham aponsil a twi chun thei? Koiham vannoi pumpi sem? Ama chu amin ipi ham chule achapa min ipiham? Nang in vang nahet chetset ahi.
Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established every part of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you know?
5 Pathen thucheng jouse hi adihsoh keijin, Ama henga kiselte ding in lum-in apang e.
"Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Pathen seidohsa thucheng belap hih hel in, achuti louva ahileh aman naphosal ding; mijou nahi lo ding ahi.
Do not add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 O Pakai thilni kangai chae, kathi kahsen hiche thilni hi nei-it peh hihbeh in.
"Two things I have asked of you; do not deny me before I die:
8 Amasan jouthu kaseilouna dingin neipan pin, aninan vaichatna le haona neipe hih in; keima nehkhop bep ding in neivah jing tan.
Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me;
9 Ajeh chu keima hung haobeh seh leng, “Pakai chu koiham?” tia nangma douna thu kasei lo ding; vaicha behseh kit leng kaguchat lo kit ding, Ka-Pathen mintheng kasuh thang bep ding ahi.
lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is the LORD?' or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
10 Soh chu apupa kom’a heh hih beh in, ajeh chu aman nahin sapset a naje lo thei ahi.
"Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.
11 Mi kimkhat chu apute apate gaosap ngam jong aum in, hijeh chun apite anute chan geijin phatthei achang pouve.
There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn't bless their mother.
12 Amaho mitmu jenga theng kisa jong aum uvin, hinlah athen lounauva kon in khatcha angim deh pouve.
There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13 Kimkhat machu amitmu uvin akichoi sang un, amit dang-chung uva chunglam ve jong aum un ahi.
There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes. Their eyelids are lifted up.
14 Amahon chemjam tobang ha hemtah anei jun, chule aha jouseu jong chemcha hemtah tobang ahin; leiset chunga vaichate bahgam ding angaito uvin, mihem lah’a neilalte bah gam din akigo uve.
There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 Vot’in nou ni anei jin, “Neipeh ben, neipeh ben,” ati lhon e. Chule chim louhel a thil thum aum in; thil in jong, “Alhingsel tai,” atideh pon ahi.
"The leach has two daughters: 'Give, give.' "There are three things that are never satisfied; four that do not say, 'Enough:'
16 Noimigam achinga naobu ahin, leiset inla twi ducha jinga um, meika diuje jun la “Alhingsel tai,” atideh poi. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol, the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that doesn't say, 'Enough.' (Sheol h7585)
17 Koi hileh apa mitche keh dan a, chule anu thua nung lou chu phaicham’a um va-ah ten akilo diu, mu-thong hon along aneh diu ahi.
"The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.
18 Kei ding in thil thum hi datmah umtah ahin, chule kahet khen thei lou thil li aum in ahi.
"There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I do not understand:
19 Vanlaijol’a muvanlai lenna lampi, Songpi chunga gul kitholna lampi, Twikhanglen lailunga touna-kong kitolna lampi, chule pasal khat in nungah khat alungset jidan.
The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maiden.
20 Numei-jong chondan hi hiti ahi: an anen, amuh akitheh jol loijin, “Keiman thil dihlou ima kabolpoi,” tin aseije.
"So is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'
21 Thil thum hin leiset ahot-ling jin, thil li vang leiset in athoh joupoi.
"For three things the earth tremble, and under four, it can't bear up:
22 Soh chu hung leng changa, chule mingol in a-oi vaset’a an anehji ahi.
For a servant when he is king; a fool when he is filled with food;
23 Min adeilou numei chun jiding pasal akimudoh jia, soh numei jin apinu akhel jiteng,
for an unloved woman when she is married; and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24 Leiset chunga thilneo li aum in, hiche thil li hohi achinga ching thei ahiuve.
"There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:
25 Sihmi tehi mihem ahilou vang un ahat thei lheh jeng un, nipilai sung sen neh ding akikhol khom jiuvin ahi.
the ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer.
26 Boi ho jong hi mihem banga hat ahipouvin, hinlah songpi lah jenga jong ko akivu jiuvin ahi.
The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.
27 Khaokho ten jong leng aneipouvin, hinlah agol gol chan akitol jiuve.
The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.
28 Daidep jong khu bailam tah’a nakhut a namat thei ahin, hiche jeng jong hi lengpa insunga cheng jing ahi.
You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.
29 Thil thum phatah’a kijot del aum un, chule thil li jong chu akalseu akitoh del in ahi.
"There are three things which are stately in their march, four which are stately in going:
30 Sa jouse lah’a keipi bahkai hi ahat pen ahin, imacha masanga anung chon ngaipoi.
The lion, which is mightiest among animals, and doesn't turn away for any;
31 Ahpi lah ahiteng ahchal in agep lele ahin, kelchal ahin, kel-hon lamkaijin apang in, lengpan amite henga thu aseija ahin lamkaiji ahi.
the greyhound, the male goat also; and the king against whom there is no rising up.
32 Nangma mingol nahia, nang le nang kichoi sanga nahim, thilphalou khattou nangaitoa ahileh nakhut in nakam kisip chah jeng in.
"If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, put your hand over your mouth.
33 Ijeh-inem itileh bongnoi imeh leh bongnoi ha asodoh jin, chule nah hom isip sip teng thisan apotdoh jin, ilung ahan jinga ahileh kinahna jeng asohsah jin ahi.
For as the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood; so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife."
