Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has built a house for herself. She has hewn seven columns.
Chihna kiti hin a-in akisahdoh in, khompi sagi jen atungdoh tan ahi.
2 She has immolated her victims. She has mixed her wine and set forth her table.
Chihna kiti hin, neh le chah ding gancha phabep akitha jin, lengpi twi jong lhumkeijin ahel-in, chule chihna kiti hin an-nehna ding dokhang jeng jong atungdoh tan ahi.
3 She has sent her maids to call out to the tower and to the fortified walls of the city,
Munsang laija kon'in khopi sung mihoa kon chun, mikou din asohte asol in ahi.
4 “If anyone is little, let him come to me.” And to the unwise, she has said:
Koi hileh milham a um jouse, “Kakom'a hung hen,” tin akousah in ahi. Chule koi hileh alungthim bei tapou chu, kou-un, ati.
5 “Approach. Eat my bread, and drink the wine that I have mixed for you.
“Hung un, kaneh ding khel in neuvin, kadon ding khel in lengpitwi don un.
6 Leave behind childishness. And live and walk by the ways of prudence.”
Milham in um hih un, giltah in hetkhenna neijin hinkho mang un,” ati.
7 Whoever teaches a mocker causes injury to himself. And whoever argues with the impious produces a blemish on himself.
Mi munem'a noisea, adih bolsah teiding gopan jong kisuh khahna aneilo-bep ahi.
8 Do not be willing to argue with a mocker, lest he hate you. Dispute with the wise, and he will love you.
Hijeh chun mi munem pum-a adih bolsah teiding go-hih in, ajeh chu nahin mudalo thei ahi. Hinlah miching chu hil lechun nangailua pang jo-ding ahi.
9 Present an opportunity to the wise, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach the just, and he will hurry to receive it.
Miching chu nahil chan'a ching cheh cheh ding, hibang chun mikitah jong nahil chan'a ching cheh ding ahi.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holiness is prudence.
Yahweh Pakai ginna hi chihna bulpi ahin, mithengpa hetna nei chan chun giltah'a thu ahetdoh ahi.
11 For by me, your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you.
Ajeh chu keima jal'a na hinkho sao chom ding, na hinkho sunga nakum jong kibe tei ding ahi.
12 If you would be wise, you will be so for yourself. But if you would be one who ridicules, you alone shall carry the evil.
Na chihna chu nangma goh-keuseh ding ahin, midang noisena nanei le mona chu na changseh a nakipoh ding ahi.
13 A foolish and loud woman, who is full of enticements and who knows nothing at all,
Numei ngol kiti chu akam tam in, amanu chu pannabei le jum helou ahi.
14 sat at the entrance of her house on a seat, in a high place of the city,
Amanu chu a-in kot phunga atoujin, kholai jenga jong mundoh lai a bou atoujin ahi.
15 so as to call to those who were passing by the way and continuing on their journey:
Amanun mi ama kincheh a kisalel akom'a hung kijot hochu “akou jin,”
16 “Whoever is little, let him turn aside to me.” And to the frenzied, she said,
Chule milham ho koma chun kakom'a hung un tin, akouvin, lungthim beija um jouse tin akoujin ahi.
17 “Stolen waters are more soothing, and secret bread is more pleasant.”
“Aguh'a kidon twi hi alhum in, aguh a kineji changlhah jong lungkim umtah ahi,” ati.
