< Proverbs 3 >

1 My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;
Kachapa kahilna ho sumil hih beh in, Kathupeh ho na lung sunga chen sah jing in,
2 for they will add length to your days, years and peace to your life.
Hichengsea kon hin, nakum ajop sau thei ding, chule phatheina bukim nachan theina ding ahi.
3 Never let loving devotion or faithfulness leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Itih chan hi jong leh kitah nale khotona nalha-kang lou ding, hiche teni hi na ngonga khivui oa naki o-ding, hichengse hi na lungthim sunga lekhajem banga naki-jih lut ding ahi.
4 Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man.
Chuteng Elohim Pathen le mipi lungdei lam nahung hi thei ding, minphatna naki-lam doh thei ding ahi.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
Nalungthim pumpin Yahweh Pakai bou tahsan in, nangma hetna jenga kisong hih in.
6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Nalam lhah natin chenga Yahweh Pakai jeng naphondoh ding, chuteng Aman na lampi nakomu peh ding ahi.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Nangma mitvet jenga kichang chihsah boldan, Yahweh Pakai ging pum-in thilse dalhan.
8 This will bring healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.
Chutileh natahsa dinga damna hiding, chule nagu na chang dinga hatdohna hiding ahi.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your harvest;
Nanei nagou chule ga masa jouse Yahweh Pakai jabol pum'in tohdoh in,
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
Chutileh Aman nachang pang nasuh dimpeh a, nalengpi twi kholna jong aletset'a nasun dim peh ding ahi.
11 My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, and do not loathe His rebuke;
Kachapa, Yahweh Pakai in nasuhgim nachu nahsah mon koi dan, chule Aman nasuh dihna chu lungnop mo peh hih in.
12 for the LORD disciplines the one He loves, as does a father the son in whom he delights.
Ajeh chu Yahweh Pakai in asuhdih hohi angailut jeh ahin, mipan acha dihtah asuhdihji banga aphosalji ahi.
13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,
Chihna le hetthem theina kimu chu lungmonga kipah ding ahi.
14 for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold.
Ajeh chu chihna kitihi dangka sanga phachomjo ahin, chule aga chu sana sanga jong phachomjo ahi.
15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her.
Chihna hi songmantam sanga mantamjo ahin, nangaichat thil ho jeng to jong tekah thei ahipoi.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
Hinkho sausah thei jong chihna hin akhut jet lam'a atuh chah ahin, haosatna le jabolna jeng jong akhutvei lam'a akituh chah ahi.
17 All her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.
Chihna hin kipa thanop na lampia napui ding, alampi jouse chu lung chamna jeng ahibouve.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who lay hold of her are blessed.
Chihna kisanlut chan dinga hinna thingphung ahin, chihna tuh chah jing ho chu anunnom ahiuve.
19 The LORD founded the earth by wisdom and established the heavens by understanding.
Chihna mangchan Yahweh Pakai in vannoi leiset ana tungdoh in, thil hetthemna jal'a vanmun ho asem doh ahitai.
20 By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open, and the clouds dripped with dew.
Ama thil hetkhenna jal'a komtong ho kisemdoh a, meilhang pumpi jong gotwi a julhaji ahi.
21 My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.
Kachapa, chihna tothon, thil datkhenji dan them in, namit vet in hiche ho jouse hi pannabei sosah hih in.
22 They will be life to your soul and adornment to your neck.
Ajeh chu hiche hohin nalhagao asuhnou jing a, nangong chang jenga jong khivui banga kijep thei ahi.
23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
Chuteng lungmonga nalam lhah le ding, nakeng jong kipal talou ding ahi.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
Kichatna beihel'a jalkhun najot ding, na imut teng jong leh lungmong tah'a na-imut ding ahi.
25 Do not fear sudden danger or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
Kiging man louva thiding kicha hihbeh in, migilou hoa kon manthahna hung lhung ding jong nagin louhel ding ahi.
26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from the snare.
Ajeh chu Yahweh Pakai bou na kulpi ahin, Aman nakeng jeng jong thanga ao-sah louhel ding ahi.
27 Do not withhold good from the deserving when it is within your power to act.
Nathahat laisen na kithopi thei chan ding in, thilpha nabol peh ding ahi.
28 Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”— when you already have the means.
Naheng nakom jenga jong chen lang hung kilen, jing le nale peh nanga tin, hinlah neinasan bol hihbeh in.
29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he trustfully dwells beside you.
Naheng nakom dounan thil gong hih beh in, ajeh chu amahon nakison piuva nakom'a cheng ahiuve.
30 Do not accuse a man without cause, when he has done you no harm.
Nachunga thilse bol-lou chu ajehbei in kinahpi dan,
31 Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways;
Chule pumthoa natong mihem chu thangsetpi hih in, alam lhahna tinchenga kon chu nakiven joh ding ahi.
32 for the LORD detests the perverse, but He is a friend to the upright.
Hitobang milung dihlou chu Yahweh Pakai in athet ahin, milungtheng vang chu Yahweh Pakaija kingai jing ahi.
33 The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the righteous.
Yahweh Pakai in asapsetna chu miphalou ho inchunga alhung jin, mikitah ho chenna in chu Yahweh Pakai in phatthei aboh ding ahi.
34 He mocks the mockers, but gives grace to the humble.
Yahweh Pakai in minoise ho chunga noisena alhunsah jin, akineosahte chunga lunglhaina aneiyin ahi.
35 The wise will inherit honor, but fools are held up to shame.
Miching chun mite a kon jana akimu ding, mingol ho vang muda chang diu ahitai.
