Thuchihbu 6
1 Kachapa, naheng nakom dinga batsahna dinga kitung nahim, hetkhah lou mikhat tou batsahna dinga naum khah a,
My son! If you have been guarantor for your friend, Have struck your hand for a stranger,
2 Nangma thuseija kon kipalna naneija, nakama kon'a phondohsa thu chun nakipalsah khah leh,
Have been snared with sayings of your mouth, Have been captured with sayings of your mouth,
3 Kachapa, ka thuhil hi ngaijin lang bol ding gon, ajeh chu naheng nakom'in na chunga thu anei tah jeh in, chen lang naheng nakompa ang-sunga taovin.
Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For you have come into the hand of your friend. Go, trample on yourself, and strengthen your friend,
4 Jan choldo louvin, namit teni jeng jong sing-hih in, namit geija keh mitmul ho jong kichol da hen.
Do not give sleep to your eyes, And slumber to your eyelids,
5 Sadelpa masanga sakhigol ajammang bang in, nangma tah kihuh hing ding gotan, vacha thangkol-a kitoldoh bang in nangma tah kihuh hing loijin.
Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.
6 Vo mi thase ho, cheuvin sihmi khu gave tim un, aum chan u-khun kihil un lang chingdoh tauvin.
Go to the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
7 Amahon natonga agoi diu lengle gamvaipo, vaihom aneilou vang un,
Which has no captain, overseer, and ruler,
8 Amahon nipi laija neh ding aki-khol khom un, khokhal teng nehding aki-khol khom theijun ahi.
She prepares her bread in summer, She has gathered her food in harvest.
9 Hinlah vo mithase hiche mun'a hi itih chan na-imut ding hitam? Nalup mun'a kon itih phat'a thoding nagot hitam?
Until when, O slothful one, do you lie? When do you arise from your sleep?
10 Na i-mut a, namoh kijam jeng a, nakhut chalo-sah louva namoh um jenga ahileh,
A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,
11 Chule vaichat na chun gucha banga na hin lhunkhum ding, lhinlel na chun gal manchah choipa banga nahin lhunkhum ding ahi.
And your poverty has come as a traveler, And your want as an armed man.

Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,

High eyes, False tongues, And hands shedding innocent blood,
18 Thilse gonna lungthim, thilse bol dinga lhai keng teni,
A heart devising thoughts of vanity, Feet hastening to run to evil,

Keep, my son, the command of your father, And do not leave the law of your mother.

To preserve you from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
