Ka ni toelnaakkhqi benna voei law uh: Ngai lah uh, na mik khanawh kang myihla theeh kawng nyng saw, kak awi zaaksimnaak ni pekkhqi kawng.
24 Because I called and you refused I offered hand my and there not [was] an attentive [one].
Nik khykhqi nyng, ni maa uhyk ti, ka kut soeng nyng, uca ingawm am do uhyk ti;
25 And you ignored all advice my and rebuke my not you yielded to.
Ka khawkhannaakkhqi boeih ikawna am ngai unawh, ka ni toelnaakkhqi boeih ce hooet uhyk ti.
26 Also I at calamity your I will laugh I will mock when comes dread your.
Ceamyihna awmsaw, kai ingawm na mi zoseet nyn awh ni qaih nak khqi kawng nyng saw, kyinaak na mi sawng lawawh ni qaih nak khqi kawng nyng.
27 When comes (like devastation *Q(K)*) dread your and calamity your like a storm-wind it will arrive when comes on you trouble and distress.

28 Then they will call to me and not I will answer they will earnestly seek me and not they will find me.
Chawh ce, nik khy kawm uh tik saw, cesei-awm am nim hlat khqi kawng: mymcang hii awh ni sui kawm uk tik saw, ceseiawm am ni hu kawm uk ti;
29 Because for they hated knowledge and [the] fear of Yahweh not they chose.
Cyihnaak maa unawh, Bawipa kqihchahnaak ce ama mik tyhnaak ak caming.
30 Not they yielded to advice my they spurned all rebuke my.
Ka khawkhannaak pynoet ca mai awm am ngaih unawh, ka toelthamnaak boeih ce a mi huhsit caming.
31 So they may eat from [the] fruit of way their and from own schemes their they will be surfeited.
Ceamyihna awmsaw a mi khawsak ak thaih qah ce aii kawm usaw, a mik poeknaak ing qoh kawm uh.
32 For [the] waywardness of naive people it will ruin them and [the] ease of fools it will destroy them.
Thlakchekhqi hu benna nawngnaak ing a mimah him khqi kawm saw, ak qawkhqi ang ngaihdingnaak ing amimah moeng sak khqi kaw.
33 And [one who] listens to me he will dwell security and he will be at ease from dread of trouble.
Kak awi ak haanaak taw ak ding cana khaw sa kawm usaw, zoseetnaak khuiawh awm ngaiqeep cana khawsa kawm uh.
