Proverbs 30
1 These are the words of Agur son of Jakeh—the burden that this man declared to Ithiel: “I am weary, O God, and worn out.
Jakeh chapa Agur thuseidoh ho hichea hi kiphong doh ahi. O Yahweh Pakai keima kachol in kalhasam lheh tai.
2 Surely I am the most ignorant of men, and I lack the understanding of a man.
Keima mihem khat hina angol-a kahi, chule mihem thil hetkhen themna bang in hetkhenna kainei tapoi.
3 I have not learned wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.
Keiman chihna thucheng kaja kha hih laijin, mithengpa kiti jong kaphongdoh kha naipoi.
4 Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son— surely you know!
Elohim 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.
5 Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Elohim Pathen thucheng jouse hi adihsoh keijin, Ama henga kiselte ding in lim-in apang e.
6 Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.
Elohim Pathen seidohsa thucheng belap hih hel in, achuti louva ahileh aman naphosal ding; mijou nahi lo ding ahi.
7 Two things I ask of You— do not refuse me before I die:
O Yahweh Pakai thilni kangai chae, kathi kahsen hiche thilni hi nei-it peh hihbeh in.
8 Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.
Amasan jouthu kaseilouna dingin neipan pin, aninan vaichatna le haona neipe hih in; keima nehkhop bep ding in neivah jing tan.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, profaning the name of my God.
Ajeh chu keima hung haobeh seh leng, “Yahweh Pakai chu koiham?” tia nangma douna thu kasei lo ding; vaicha behseh kit leng kaguchat lo kit ding, Elohim, ka Pathen mintheng kasuh thang bep ding ahi.
10 Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.
Soh chu apupa kom'a heh hih beh in, ajeh chu aman nahin sapset a naje lo thei ahi.
11 There is a generation of those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
Mi kimkhat chu apute apate gaosap ngam jong aum in, hijeh chun apite anute chan geijin phatthei achang pouve.
12 There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes and yet unwashed of their filth.
Amaho mitmu jenga theng kisa jong aum uvin, hinlah athen lounauva kon in khatcha angim deh pouve.
13 There is a generation—how haughty are their eyes and pretentious are their glances—
Kimkhat machu amitmu uvin akichoi sang un, amit dang-chung uva chunglam ve jong aum un ahi.
14 there is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are knives, devouring the oppressed from the earth and the needy from among men.
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.
15 The leech has two daughters: Give and Give. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
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.
16 Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’ (Sheol h7585)
Noimigam achinga naobu ahin, leiset inla twi ducha jinga um, meika diuje jun la “Alhingsel tai,” atideh poi. (Sheol h7585)
17 As for the eye that mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, may the ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures devour it.
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.
18 There are three things too wonderful for me, four that I cannot understand:
Kei ding in thil thum hi datmah umtah ahin, chule kahet khen thei lou thil Li aum in ahi.
19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.
Vanlaijol'a muvanlai lenna lampi, Songpi chunga gul kitholna lampi, Twikhanglen lailunga touna-kong kitolna lampi, chule pasal khat in nungah khat alungset jidan.
20 This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
Numei-jong chondan hi hiti ahi: an anen, amuh akitheh jol loijin, “Keiman thil dihlou ima kabolpoi,” tin aseije.
21 Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:
Thil thum hin leiset ahot-ling jin, thil Li vang leiset in athoh joupoi.
22 a servant who becomes king, a fool who is filled with food,
Soh chu hung leng changa, chule mingol in a-oi vaset'a an anehji ahi.
23 an unloved woman who marries, and a maidservant who supplants her mistress.
Min adeilou numei chun jiding pasal akimudoh jia, soh numei jin apinu akhel jiteng,
24 Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise:
Leiset chunga thilneo li aum in, hiche thil Li hohi achinga ching thei ahiuve.
25 The ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
Sihmi tehi mihem ahilou vang un ahat thei lheh jeng un, nipilai sung sen neh ding akikhol khom jiuvin ahi.
26 the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;
Boi ho jong hi mihem banga hat ahipouvin, hinlah songpi lah jenga jong ko akivu jiuvin ahi.
27 the locusts have no king, yet they all advance in formation;
Khaokho ten jong leng aneipouvin, hinlah agol gol chan akitol jiuve.
28 and the lizard can be caught in one’s hands, yet it is found in the palaces of kings.
Daidep jong khu bailam tah'a nakhut a namat thei ahin, hiche jeng jong hi lengpa insunga cheng jing ahi.
29 There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:
Thil thum phatah'a kijot del aum un, chule thil li jong chu akalseu akitoh del in ahi.
30 a lion, mighty among beasts, refusing to retreat before anything;
Sa jouse lah'a keipi bahkai hi ahat pen ahin, imacha masanga anung chon ngaipoi.
31 a strutting rooster; a he-goat; and a king with his army around him.
Ahpi lah ahiteng ahchal in agep lele ahin, kelchal ahin, kel-hon lamkaijin apang in, lengpan amite henga thu aseija ahin lamkaiji ahi.
32 If you have foolishly exalted yourself or if you have plotted evil, put your hand over your mouth.
Nangma mingol nahia, nang le nang kichoi sanga nahim, thilphalou khattou nangaitoa ahileh nakhut in nakam kisip chah jeng in.
33 For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”
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.
