Proverbs 5
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
Ka capa, poukpanueknae na tawn nahane hoi, na pahni ni panuenae a pâkuem thai nahanelah,
2 That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
kaie lungangnae hah thai nateh, kaie thaipanueknae dawk na hnâpakeng haw.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, napui kathoutnaw e pahni teh, khoitui patetlah a radip, a lawk teh sathaw hlak hai a pâhnan.
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Hatei, apoutnae koe lateh, hmue patetlah a kha teh, avoivang kahran e sarai patetlah a hran.
A khok ni duenae lamthung a pâtam teh, a khok takan ni sheol hmai a pâtam. (Sheol h7585)
6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
Hoehpawiteh, a hringnae lamthung na pouk hoeh vaiteh, a lamthung a cak hoeh e hah na panuek mahoeh.
7 Hear me now therefore, O all of you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Hatdawkvah, ka canaw, atuvah, ka lawk thai awh haw. Ka dei e lawknaw hah pahnawt awh hanh.
8 Remove your way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Hatei, ahlanae koe kampuen awh nateh, ahnie im takhang hoi hai hnai awh hanh.
9 Lest you give your honour unto others, and your years unto the cruel:
Hoehpawiteh, barinae na hmu e hah ayâ alouk koe kampuen payon vaih. Tami nuen kamathoutnaw rahak vah, na hringnae be na hno payon vaih.
10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labours be in the house of a stranger;
Hoehpawiteh, ramlouknaw ni na tawntanae dawk nawm awh vaiteh, na thaw tawk e a pawnaw hah ramlouknaw im vah phat payon vaih.
11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
Apoutnae koe lah, na takthai a kamsoe toteh, na khui payon vaih.
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
Bangtelamaw, cangkhainae hah koe ka hmuhma teh, yuenae hah ka lungthin hoi koe ka dudam toe.
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Na kacangkhaikung e lawk hah koe ka tarawi ngaihoeh niteh, na cangkhainae hah koe ka thai ngaihoeh heh ma.
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Tamimaya hoi kamkhuengnaw koe rawknae kâhmo hoeh e dueng doeh hei na ti han na kaima.
15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
Nange tuikhu, na tuikhu hoi ka tâcawt e tui roeroe hah na nei han.
16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
Na tuiphuek hah ram tangkuem lawng vaiteh tamimaya ceinae lamnaw dawk a lawng han na maw.
17 Let them be only your own, and not strangers' with you.
Nama hanelah dueng awm seh, ayâ alouke hoi kâkabawpkhai hane nahoeh.
18 Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
Na tuikhu teh yawhawi seh, na naw nah e na yu koe na lungkuep lawih.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.
Ngai kaawm e sayuk hoi a meikahawi e sayukhre patetlah, a sannunaw ni na lungkuep sak naseh. A lungpatawnae ni na lungkuep sak naseh.
20 And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Bangtelamaw, ka capa nang ni napui kahawihoehe hah na ngai vaiteh, khuet na tapam han vaw.
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his activities.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami hringnae lamthungnaw teh, BAWIPA ni koung a hmu teh, a lamthung pueng koung a pouk pouh.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
Ama pouknae ni tamikayon teh a man vaiteh, a yonnae tangron hoi pâkhi lah ao han.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Cangkhainae a vout dawkvah, a due vaiteh, puenghoi a pathu dawkvah, a kahma han.
