Proverbs 25
1 These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah 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 a thing; but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
Thugil chintup nahi Elohim Pathen loupina ahin, chule thil kholdoh kiti jong hi lengte loupina ahi.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, 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 dross from the silver, and there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner;
Dangka'a kon in atheng lou jouse ladoh jeng in, thih khengpan bel-a khen ding atah chu aneinai.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
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 Glorify not thyself in the presence of 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 better is it that it be said unto thee: 'Come up hither', than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom thine eyes have seen.
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 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
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 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour, but reveal not the secret of another;
Hiche sang chun, naheng nakompa toh chun nachung chang thu seikhom lhon in lang, thuguh kiti phot midang hetsah hih in.
10 Lest he that heareth it revile thee, and thine infamy turn not away.
Ajeh chu naseidoh'a midang khattou in jataleh aja khat chun, nahinle jumso nabep ding, chuteng namin setna chu beita lou ding ahi.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Aphatcha ki hil na chu deium tah ahi, dangka bomma kikoi sana tabang ahi.
12 As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an 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 sendeth him; for he refresheth the soul of his master.
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 vapours and wind without rain, so is he that boasteth himself of a false gift.
Thilpeh khat pe-dinga kitepna neija peloupa chu, huijin apohle meilom goa julha lou tobang ahi.
15 By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
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 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
Khoiju naneh teng aphabep don in, ajeh chu nachim behseh ding; achaina leh naloh lhah lo ding ahi.
17 Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour's house; lest he be sated with thee, and hate thee.
Naheng nakom in-sunga che behseh hih in, ajeh chu nahin thei chim lo ding ahi.
18 As a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, so is a man that beareth false witness against his neighbour.
Koi hileh aheng akom hehsea panga chu, galsat dinga mi koukhom le chemjam hemtah chule thalchanga kikap tobang ahi.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
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 As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
Mi gim hesoh pet'a lasa'a chu, phalbi dap laija mi ponsil lahpeh tobang ahi.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink;
Nagalmi chu agil akel teng nehding changlhah pen, chule adang achah leh don ding twi pen.
22 For thou wilt heap coals of fire 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 bringeth forth rain, and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
Sahlam khohui'in go ajuhsah jin, min adalhah nunga seisea chun lungphamo pua mi avetji ahi.
24 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than in a house in common with a contentious woman.
Numei phunsi khat toh in khat'a chen khom sang in, inting vum ningkoi khat'a ichangseh a chen aphajoi.
25 As cold waters to a faint soul, so is good news from a far country.
Gam latah'a pet thupha kija chu, dangchah pet'a twi votjen kidon tobang ahi.
26 As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, so is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
Mikitah khat in migilou khat pansatna ding lampi asempeh kiti chu, twisam putna le bonsan londohna twikun tobang ahi.
27 It is not good to eat much honey; so for men to search out their own glory is not glory.
Khoiju tamtah don jong aphapon, chule thuphalou tampi sei jong apha ahipoi.
28 Like a city broken down and without a wall, so is he whose spirit is without restraint.
Ama le ama kitim joulou michu, khopi chimsa apal jouse kivo lhua kidalha bep ahi.
