Proverbs 25
1 These are also 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 honor 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 shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
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 Put not forth yourself 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 it is that it be said to you, Come up here; than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince whom your 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 you know not what to do in the end thereof, when your neighbor has put you 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 your cause with your neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to 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 hears it put you to shame, and your 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 pictures of silver.
Aphatcha ki hil na chu deium tah ahi, dangka bomma kikoi sana tabang ahi.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover on 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 them that send him: for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
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 Whoever boasts himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
Thilpeh khat pe-dinga kitepna neija peloupa chu, huijin apohle meilom goa julha lou tobang ahi.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaks 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 Have you found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for you, lest you 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 Withdraw your foot from your neighbor’s house; lest he be weary of you, and so hate you.
Naheng nakom in-sunga che behseh hih in, ajeh chu nahin thei chim lo ding ahi.
18 A man that bears false witness against his neighbor is a maul, 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 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 he that takes away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar on nitre, so is he that singes songs to an heavy heart.
Mi gim hesoh pet'a lasa'a chu, phalbi dap laija mi ponsil lahpeh tobang ahi.
21 If your 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 you shall heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD shall reward you.
Hitia nabol pehchu alujang dim a mei-al sunpeh nahin, natoh-ga Yahweh Pakai in kipaman napeh tei ding ahi.
23 The north wind drives away rain: so does an angry 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 dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
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 thirsty 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 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
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 their own glory is not glory.
Khoiju tamtah don jong aphapon, chule thuphalou tampi sei jong apha ahipoi.
28 He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Ama le ama kitim joulou michu, khopi chimsa apal jouse kivo lhua kidalha bep ahi.
