Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur, son of Jakeh, [even] the oracle, —The utterance of the man, for Ithiel, for Ithiel and Ucal.
Jakeh a capa Agur ak awicyih taw vemyih na ni. Thlang ing Ethiel a venawh, Ethiel ingkaw Ukal a venawh vemyih na ce kqawn hy,
2 Surely, more brutish, am, I, than any man, nor doth, the understanding of a son of earth, pertain to me;
“Thlangkhqi anglakawh ka sim kang zak awm am awm hy.
3 Neither have I learned wisdom, nor, the knowledge of the Holy Ones, can I acquire.
Cyihnaak am cawng nyng saw, thlakciim kawng awm am sim nyng.
4 Who hath ascended the heavens and then descended? Who hath gathered the wind into his two hands? Who hath wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who hath set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name and what the name of his son, when thou knowest?
Unu khanna kai nawh ak kqum law tlaih? Unu a kutawh khawhlii ak bym thai? Unu hibai ing tui ak cun? Unu khawmdek a dytnaak ak cak sak? Unu ang ming, a capa ming nak sim aw?
5 Every saying of God is refined, A shield, is, he, to them who seek refuge in him.
Bawipa ak awikhqi boeih taw caawtbauh kawi am awm na, Amah ak cangnaakkhqi boeih ham ziingnaak ni.
6 Do not add unto his words, lest he convict thee, and thou be found false.
Ak awikhqi ce koeh sap, cekkaataw nik coet kawm saw a qai ak kqawn thlangna awm kawp ti.
7 Two things, have I asked of thee, withhold them not from me, ere yet I die:
Aw Bawipa, them pakkhih ni thoeh nyng; ka thih hlanawh ni soep pe sak lah.
8 Vanity and falsehood, remove far from me, Neither poverty nor riches, give me, Feed me with the food appointed me:
Amak thym ingkaw qai kqawn ka venawh koeh awm sak; khawdengnaak ingkaw boeinaak awm koen ni pe, my ngawi ai tat buh mah ni pe.
9 Lest I be full, and deny, and say—Who is Yahweh? or lest I be impoverished and steal, and do violence to the Name of my God.
Cekkataw boei nyng saw nang nim hilh kawng nyng saw 'Bawipa taw a u nu?' ti hau kawng nyng. Amawh ka kawdeng awhawm qu kawng nyng saw na thang nim ceh hau kawng nyng.
10 Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he revile thee, and thou be found guilty.
Tamnaa ce a boei venna koeh theet, quun nik khy pe kawm saw, nak khanawh thawlhnaak tla kaw.
11 A generation! Its father, it revileth, and, its mother, it doth not bless.
A pa quun khy pe nawh, a nu amak kyihcah thlang awm hy.
12 A generation! Pure in its own eyes, yet, from its filth, hath it not been bathed,
Amah poeknaak awh ak ciimna ak ngai qu thlang awm nawh; cehlai a thawlhnaak caihsakna am awm hy.
13 A generation! How lofty are its eyes, and its eyelashes uplifted.
Khawpoek saang sak nawh hepnaak ing thlang ak toek awm hy.
14 A generation! Swords, are its teeth, and, knives, its incisors, —to devour the humbled out of the earth, and the needy, from among men.
A haa cimsum amyihna awm nawh, khawmdek awhkaw khawngdengkhqi ingkaw ak voetvaikhqi daih hamna cimca ing ak be thlang awm hy.
15 The vampire, hath two daughters, Give! Give! Three, there are will not be satisfied, four, have not said, Enough!
“Ni pe hlah, ni pe hlah,” tinawh ak khyy canu pakkhih ak ta litno awm hy. Amak phyi thai tlaih them pakthum awm hy, “Khoek hawh ny,” amak ti tlaih them puphli awm hy.
16 Hades, and barrenness, —A land not satisfied with water, and fire, that saith not, Enough! (Sheol h7585)
Phyi, ca ak qeeng phoen, tui amak phyi thai deklai ingkaw “khoek hy,” amak ti man mai awm hy. (Sheol h7585)
17 The eye that mocketh a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young of the eagle shall eat it.
A pa ak thekhanaak ingkaw a nuk awi ak hep mik taw lamawh ak ding vangaak ing cuk kawm saw; huu ing a sa ai pe kaw.
18 Three, things there are, too difficult for me, yea, four, which I do not understand:
Kawpoek ak kyi sak ik-oeih pakthum awm nawh am kang zaaksim ik-oeih pupthli awm hy.
19 The way of an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent on the rock, —the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.
Khanna kaw huu ang dingnaak lam, Luk khan awhkaw khqui a cehnaak lam, tuicunli awhkaw lawng a cehnaak lam ingkaw tangpa ing nula a pannaak lam tloek ce ni.
20 So, is the way of a woman committing adultery, —she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no iniquity!
Cemyih ceni samphaih nu a cehnaak lam taw; Ce nula ing ai nawh am kha a huih coengawh, “Them amak thum am sai nyng,” ti hy.
21 Under three things, a land is stirred, yea, under four, she cannot bear up:
Ve them pakthum ak caming khawmdek thyyn nawh ve them pupthli awh yh thainaak am ta hy.
22 Under a servant, when he reigneth, and a base man, when he is surfeited with food;
Tamnaa ce sangpahrangna coeng nawh, thlakqaw ing aawk ai ak bena ta hy.
23 Under a hateful woman, when she is married, and a handmaid when she driveth out her mistress.
A mi hoet nula ing vaa ta nawh tamnaa nu ing a boei nu a qo pang hy.
24 Four, things there are, the small of the earth, —yet, they, are wiser than the wise:
Khawmdek khanawh ik-oeih ak zawi soeih pupthli awm nawh, cehlai cekkhqi taw ak cyi soeih na awm uhy.
25 The ants, a people, not strong, —yet prepare they, in summer, their food;
Liing ve ak tha ak zawi soeihna bi ak sai na awm moe, khawhqai awh aawk ai cun hy.
26 The conies, a people of, no power, yet set they, among the crags, their house;
Sathel ing tha a khoehca ni a taak hlai, lungnu thelpang khuiawh a im ta hy.
27 King, is there none, to, the locusts, —yet go forth in swarms, do they all;
Khamkhawkkhqi ing sangpahrang am ta uhy; cehlai kawoet cana cet haih thai uhy.
28 The lizard, with hands, reneweth its hold, —yet, the same, is in the palaces of the king.
Satuiqai ing kuting tuuk thaina awm moe, sangpahrang imawh awmnaak hyn ta hy.
29 Three, things there are which step along well, ye, four, which excel in going:
Qypawmnaak ing ak saangna khaw ak kham ik-oeih pakthum awm nawh ypawm cana ak cet ik-oeih pupthli awm hy:
30 The lion, hero among beasts, which turneth aside from the face of no one;
Samthyn taw qamsa chunglak awh ak thamah soeih na awm nawh, ikawmyih ing awm a hu am voei sak khawi,
31 The greyhound, or the he-goat, —and a king, having a band of soldiers with him.
Ak thamah aihlyi kit, memcai sing ingkaw qalkap ing ak chungkoep sangpahrang ce ni.
32 If thou hast acted basely by lifting thyself up, —if thou hast plotted evil, [put thy] hand to [thy] mouth!
Namah ingkaw namah thangsaknaak ham amak leek them na sai mai awh aw, amak leek ik-oeih poeknaak na taak mai awhtaw, nam kha cyyp sak.
33 Surely, the pressing of milk, bringeth forth curd, and, the pressing of the nose, bringeth forth blood, and, the pressing of wrath, bringeth forth strife.
Suktui hqoet khingnaak ing suktui khal sak nawh ni hmaqawng nawi khingnaak ing thi ak cawn sak amyihna kawsonaak ing hqo hqitnaak cawn sak hy.
