Proverbs 25
1 These are also parables of Solomon, which the men of Ezechias king of Juda copied out.
Hiche ho jong hi Solomon thuchih jeng ahina nalai jin, Judah lengpa Hezekiah phat laija mihon ana jihdoh ahi.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal the word, and the glory of kings to search out the speech.
Thugil chintup nahi Elohim Pathen loupina ahin, chule thil kholdoh kiti jong hi lengte loupina ahi.
3 The heaven above, and the earth beneath, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
Vanmun jouse asandan le leiset athuh bang hin, lengte lungthim sung jeng jong koiman ahedoh joupoi.
4 Take away the rust from silver, and there shall come forth a most pure vessel:
Dangka'a kon in atheng lou jouse ladoh jeng in, thih khengpan bel-a khen ding atah chu aneinai.
5 Take away wickedness from the face of the king, and his throne shall be established with justice.
Lengpa thutanna mun'a kon chun migilou chu potdoh sah jeng in, chutileh lengpa laltouna mun'a chu thudih kiphut det thei ding ahi.
6 Appear not glorious before the king, and stand not in the place of great men.
Lengpa angsunga nama cham in chelut dan, chule milen ang-sunga jong kikum lut jeng hih in.
7 For it is better that it should be said to thee: Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be humbled before the prince.
Hitia hi, “Hiche mun'a hin hung kal touvin,” tia min nahin kou masat ding chu thilpha ahi. Chule milen milal umna imacham tah'a lut jeng chu thilpha ahipoi.
8 The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.
Nangman thilkhat namu jeng man in, kihehna-in achun lhut jeng hih in, ajeh chu nahehpa chun najou henlang jumtale chun achaina ipi nabol ding hitam?
9 Treat thy cause with thy friend, and discover not the secret to a stranger:
Hiche sang chun, naheng nakompa toh chun nachung chang thu seikhom lhon in lang, thuguh kiti phot midang hetsah hih in.
10 Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.
Ajeh chu naseidoh'a midang khattou in jataleh aja khat chun, nahinle jumso nabep ding, chuteng namin setna chu beita lou ding ahi.
11 To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
Aphatcha ki hil na chu deium tah ahi, dangka bomma kikoi sana tabang ahi.
12 As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear.
Mithusei phatah'a ngaipa ding in, adih a kiphona hi sanakol le sana pah-jem tobang ahi.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul.
Tahsan thei tah sottole sol khapa ding in, hiche sottole chu chang-at laija buhbang votjen tobang ahin; hitobang sottole hi apupa lhagao lungthim sung kido jing na ahi.
14 As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfill his promises.
Thilpeh khat pe-dinga kitepna neija peloupa chu, huijin apohle meilom goa julha lou tobang ahi.
15 By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
Thoh hattah'a natoh jeh'in vaihom khat jong akithu nun jou in, o nem heova thu kiseijin gu le chang jeng jong anemsah e.
16 Thou hast found honey, eat what is sufficient for thee, lest being glutted therewith thou vomit it up.
Khoiju naneh teng aphabep don in, ajeh chu nachim behseh ding; achaina leh naloh lhah lo ding ahi.
17 Withdraw thy foot from the house of thy neighbour, lest having his fill he hate thee.
Naheng nakom in-sunga che behseh hih in, ajeh chu nahin thei chim lo ding ahi.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour, is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow.
Koi hileh aheng akom hehsea panga chu, galsat dinga mi koukhom le chemjam hemtah chule thalchanga kikap tobang ahi.
19 To trust to an unfaithful man in the time of trouble, is like a rotten tooth, and weary foot,
Gim le hesoh pet'a tahsan thei lou mikhat ngansena nei hi, habeija thilkhat kipet le keng phalou tollham chon-nal tobang bep ahibouve.
20 And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.
Mi gim hesoh pet'a lasa'a chu, phalbi dap laija mi ponsil lahpeh tobang ahi.
21 If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:
Nagalmi chu agil akel teng nehding changlhah pen, chule adang achah leh don ding twi pen.
22 For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.
Hitia nabol pehchu alujang dim a mei-al sunpeh nahin, natoh-ga Yahweh Pakai in kipaman napeh tei ding ahi.
23 The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue.
Sahlam khohui'in go ajuhsah jin, min adalhah nunga seisea chun lungphamo pua mi avetji ahi.
24 It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.
Numei phunsi khat toh in khat'a chen khom sang in, inting vum ningkoi khat'a ichangseh a chen aphajoi.
25 As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good tidings from a far country.
Gam latah'a pet thupha kija chu, dangchah pet'a twi votjen kidon tobang ahi.
26 A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.
Mikitah khat in migilou khat pansatna ding lampi asempeh kiti chu, twisam putna le bonsan londohna twikun tobang ahi.
27 As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty, shall be overwhelmed by glory.
Khoiju tamtah don jong aphapon, chule thuphalou tampi sei jong apha ahipoi.
28 As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.
Ama le ama kitim joulou michu, khopi chimsa apal jouse kivo lhua kidalha bep ahi.
