1 Kachapa, naheng nakom dinga batsahna dinga kitung nahim, hetkhah lou mikhat tou batsahna dinga naum khah a,
My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hand in pledge for a stranger;
2 Nangma thuseija kon kipalna naneija, nakama kon'a phondohsa thu chun nakipalsah khah leh,
You are trapped by the words of your mouth. You are ensnared with the words of your mouth.

9 Hinlah vo mithase hiche mun'a hi itih chan na-imut ding hitam? Nalup mun'a kon itih phat'a thoding nagot hitam?
How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of 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 folding of the hands to sleep:
11 Chule vaichat na chun gucha banga na hin lhunkhum ding, lhinlel na chun gal manchah choipa banga nahin lhunkhum ding ahi.
so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood;
18 Thilse gonna lungthim, thilse bol dinga lhai keng teni,
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,
