Proverbs 31
1 My words have been spoken by God—the oracular answer of a king, whom his mother instructed.
Lengpa Lemuel anun anahilna thucheng ho aphondoh.
2 What wilt thou keep, my son, what? the words of God. My firstborn son, I speak to thee: what? son of my womb? what? son of my vows?
“O kachapa, kanaobua kon'a kahin kachapa, ipi mong ham, kitepna vanga kahinsa kachapa?
3 Give not thy wealth to women, nor thy mind and living to remorse. Do all things with counsel: drink wine with counsel.
Nathahatna chu numei pedoh hih beh in, chule lengho sumanga pang ho chu lampi na ot louhel ding ahi.
4 Princes are prone to anger: let them then not drink wine:
O Lemuel, lengho dinga judon kiti hi angai ahipoi, vaihom'a pang ho dinga khamna theija lop hi angai ahipoi.
5 lest they drink, and forget wisdom, and be not able to judge the poor rightly.
Ajeh chu ju adon tenguleh, thu adih'a kitansa le akiseisa chu aheimil diu; chutengleh gim hesoh changte dinga, adihnau chu asuhmil peh diu ahi.
6 Give strong drink to those that are in sorrow, and the wine to drink to those in pain:
Manthah nan aphah dingpa chu khamna thei donsah hih beh in, amavang alung hesoh val ho bou ju donsah tan.
7 that they may forget their poverty, and may not remember their troubles any more.
Hitichun amaho cheng chu donsah inlang, avaichat nau asuhmil nadiu le agenthei nau tincheng asuhmil nadiu ahi.
8 Open thy mouth with the word of God, and judge all fairly.
Ama ding kisei thei lou ho dingin seipeh in, chule achung uva thu adih in tanpeh in.
9 Open thy mouth and judge justly, and plead the cause of the poor and weak.
Nakam kah inlang thu adih'in tan in, vaichate le angaichate chunga thu adih'a tanna chu umsah jing in.” ati.
10 Who shall find a virtuous woman? for such a one is more valuable than precious stones.
Numei jipha tah kimu jou ding koiham? Amanu chu sana pah jem jouse sang in jong ahoi joi.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her: such a one shall stand in no need of fine spoils.
Ajipan alungthim akison pi lheh in, ajeh chu amanun ajipa hinkhoa ijakai abulhinsah ding ahi.
12 For she employs all her living for her husband's good.
Amanu chun ajipa chunga thilpha chom atongdoh jin, ahinkho sung in ajipa setna atongdoh ngaipoi.
13 Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.
Sa mul le tupat abolpeh jin, pontho tah in pat abol jin ahi.
14 She is like a ship trading from a distance: so she procures her livelihood.
Hitobang numei hi kiveina kong innei tobang ahin, nehle chah jong gamla tah tah a kon'in ahinpo jie.
15 And she rises by night, and gives food to her household, and [appointed] tasks to her maidens.
Jingkah khovah masangin athouvin ain-sung mite dingin neh le chah agong jin, chule asoh nungah ho nikhat sunga atohdiu agontoh peh jin ahi.
16 She views a farm, and buys it: and with the fruit of her hands she plants and a possession.
Amanu achen loumun agaven acho pai jin, amanu khutsoh mong in lengpilei abol in ahi.
17 She strongly girds her loins, and strengthens her arms for work.
Amanu hin atai akigah in thanei tah in apang jin, aban thahat ajedoh jing in ahi.
18 And she finds by experience that working is good; and her candle goes not out all night.
Amanu hin akiveina a natoh athilbol jouse thil phachom ahi, ti asumil ngaipon; jan khovah kahsen athaomei amit khapoi.
19 She reaches forth her arms to needful [works], and applies her hands to the spindle.
Akhut teni le muikung akisip lhop jingin, chule akhut tenin patkong kung atuh jing jinge.
20 And she opens her hands to the needy, and reaches out fruit to the poor.
Migentheite huhnan akhut alhang jingin, chujongleh alhasamte dingin akhut alhang jing in ahi.
21 Her husband is not anxious about those at home when he tarries anywhere abroad: for all her household are clothed.
Hitobang numei hin ain chen buhbang hunglhah ding jong aging pon, ainsung mite abonchan ponlum in atom in hijeh chun alung monge.
22 She makes for her husband clothes of double texture, and garments for herself of fine linen and scarlet.
Hiche numei hin ama le ama din jong ponsil akikhon in, aponsil jong tupat ponnem le ponsandup jeng ahi.
23 And her husband becomes a distinguished [person] in the gates, when he sits in council with the old inhabitants of the land.
Khopi kelkot phung jousea ajipa akilang doh jingin, gamsung upaho lah a atouteng jongle min ahesoh keije.
24 She makes fine linens, and sells girdles to the Chananites: she opens her mouth heedfully and with propriety, and controls her tongue.
Hitobang numei hin tupat ponnem akhongin akhonjou tengle akijoh jin, kivei miho henga jong konggah khao ajoh jin ahi.
25 She puts on strength and honour; and rejoices in the last days.
Thahat le gunchuna hi hiche numeinu dinga hi aponsil tobang ahin, khonunga phat hung lhung ding jong lungkhamna beijin agaldot theijin ahi.
26 But she opens her mouth wisely, and according to law.
Chingthei tah in thu aseijin, khoto tah a mihilna jong aneiyin ahi.
27 The ways of her household are careful, and she eats not the bread of idleness.
Insunga um thil jouse avetup sohkei jin, thaset jeh'a don louva akoi khatcha aumpoi.
28 And [her] kindness to them sets up her children for them, and they grow rich, and her husband praises her.
Hitobang numei hi achate ahung kipat doh jiuvin, numei nunnom nu tin asejun ahi; chule ajipa jeng in jong amanu hi apahcha lheh jie.
29 Many daughters have obtained wealth, many have wrought valiantly; but thou hast exceeded, thou hast surpassed all.
“Vannoi leisetna numei kitahleh numei lolhing tamtah aumme, hinlah nangin amaho nakhel sohkeije” ati.
30 Charms are false, and woman's beauty is vain: for it is a wise woman that is blessed, and let her praise the fear the Lord.
Kijep hoisel nahi lhep lhahna bep ahin, melhoi jong hi chomcha ding bou ahi; hinlah Yahweh Pakai ging jing numei hi pachat dinga lomtah ahi.
31 Give her of the fruit of her lips; and let her husband be praised in the gates.
Hitobang numei chu atohdoh jouse jal'in kipaman peuvin, chule khopi kot phung tinchenga anatohdoh jousen; lhang phong in vahchoi cheh tahen.
