Proverbs 1
1 These are the (proverbs/wise sayings) that come from Solomon, the King of Israel, who was the son of [King] David.
Hiche hi Israel leng David chapa Solomon thuchih ho ahi.
2 (These proverbs [PRS] can teach people/By studying these proverbs, people can learn) how to be wise and how to obey what these proverbs teach them. They will [also] help people to understand which teachings are wise.
Hiche hi mihemten chihna le kigah chahna, thuchih kiseiho hi ipi kiseina ham, ti ahetdoh theina diu ahi.
3 These proverbs [PRS] will teach you how to discipline/control yourselves, how to conduct your lives, and how to do what is right and just [DOU].
Chule ahoi-apha adihlam'a kihilna kisan them'a adih le thudih agom'a kisanlut ding,
4 They will show [people] who do not [yet] know much how to do things that are smart. They will show young people how to become wise and how to make good plans/decisions.
Chuteng milham ho dinga lunglim-geh'a hinna, chule khangdong hon hetna le thil detkhen themna anei diu ahi.
5 Those who are wise should also pay attention [to these proverbs], in order to become more wise, and those who understand [these teachings] will receive good advice/guidance.
Miching jeng jong khodah'a thepna alambe ding, hetkhenna nei mihem in jong kihilchahna alambe ding ahi.
6 Then they will be able to understand the meaning of proverbs and parables/metaphors, these wise sayings and (riddles/sayings that are difficult to understand).
Hiche thuchih kiseiho le thil umdan hetthemna anei ding, miching hon thu asei teng, thulem aseidoh jouseu hettheina tha anei ding ahi.
7 If [you want to be] wise, you must begin by revering Yahweh. [Only] foolish people despise wisdom and good advice/discipline.
Yahweh Pakai ginna hi hetna dinga abulpi ahin, mingol hon vang chihna le hilchah nan asang thei poi.
8 My son, pay attention to what [I], your father, am teaching you. And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
Kachapa, napan nahilna ngaijin lang, nanun nahilna jong sang teijin,
9 What we teach you [will make you respected like having] a lovely turban around your head and [like] a [beautiful] necklace to put around your neck.
Ijeh inem itileh, amanin nahilna jouse khotona lallukhuh'a nakikhuh ding, chule jana na ngong changa khivui oa naki'o ding ahi.
10 My son, if sinners tempt/entice you [to do what is wrong], say “No” to them.
Kachapa michonseten jol lhah ding nago jong leu, athu'u nangai lou hel ding ahi.
11 They may say, “Come with us! Join us! We will hide and then kill [MTY] someone [who passes by]. We will ambush some helpless/innocent people.
Amahon na henga ahin seidiu, “Hung'in cheu hitin mihem thadin ngah-ute; suhkhel neilou ho jong chu inop chabep uva ibol diuvin nga lhih tau hite.
12 We will kill them [HYP] and get rid of them completely, [just] like [people who are buried in] graves are gone forever. While they are in good health, we will send them to the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Ahing changa lhankhuh in aval lhum'a abah gam bang in, eihon jong ahing in bahgam-u hitin, thina kokhuh'a lhalutsa bang in, apum chang in val lhum gam tau hite. (Sheol h7585)
13 And we will seize all the things that they own. We will fill our houses with these things!
Chuteng thil thupi tahtah imu diu, mi thil lelo ichomdoh hou chu in dimset'a isit diu ahi.
14 [So], come with us! Join our group! We will share with you the things that we steal.”
Keiho kom'a chan hung neijin lang, sumdip kikhong in sum khol khom u-hite, tia ahinsei diu ahi.”
15 My son, do not accompany them! Do not walk on the roads with them!
Hinlah kachapa, amaho toh kilhon khom hih hel'in, amaho lam lhahna akon chun kidalse jon,
16 They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder [MTY] people.
Ajeh chu amaho thilpha lou bolnan akeng-u ajangkhai in, gangtah in thisan aso jiuve.
17 It is useless to put out a (trap/net to catch a bird) because when a bird sees it, [it stays away from it].
Hijeh chun vachan ao nading thang kikam amu teng, pannabei asoh jitai.
18 But those wicked people are not like the birds, [because they do not realize] that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
Hitobang miho hin ama hole amaho thisan sodohna dinga midang achan lhih jiu ahin, amaho thina ding jenga bou mi achan jiu ahi.
19 That is what happens to people who eagerly try to get things [by violently attacking others]. They will only destroy themselves!
Koi hileh hitobang pumtho changa ama phatchomna ding ngaito bang bep ahiuvin, thil lelo neipa ahivang in thina atoh jitan ahi.
20 Wisdom [PRS] shouts to people in the streets, and calls out to people in the (plazas/town squares).
Chihna hin lamlen lah'a kho asamjin, japi lah jenga jong ogin kithong tah'in apeng jin ahi.
21 Wisdom calls out in noisy places, and at the entrances to cities.
Chihna hi lamlen dunga jong apeng jah jeng in, khopi kelkot mai'a jong thu aphong doh jin ahi.
22 [Wisdom says], “How long will you stupid people continue to enjoy doing foolish things [RHQ]? How long will you people who ridicule God enjoy doing that [RHQ]? How long will you foolish people refuse to know [what things are right] [RHQ]?
“Vo mihemte, itih chanpi mihem mei meija hin ding nagot u-ham, anop nop'a paohon itih chanpi michunga nanop pao diu ham? Angol hon itih chanpi hetna nathet diu hitam?
23 If you pay attention to me when I rebuke you, I will tell you what I am thinking in my inner being; I will give you some good advice.
Kathumop nahi ngai phau vin, ajeh chu keiman nangho dinga kalunggel ngaito kasei ding, chuteng kathuseija kon chihna nalam doh diu ahi.
24 But when I called to you, you refused to listen. I beckoned to you to come to me, but you ignored me.
Ijeh inem itileh keiman nang ho kakou un, nang hon nei donbut deh pouve. Kakhut ban in kahin sang uvin, iman jong nagel deh pouvin ahi.
25 I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen to me. I tried to correct you, but you rejected what I told you.
Kahilna abonchan nadonse pouvin, kagihsal na jouse jong khatcha nadonse pouvin ahi.
26 So [now], when you are experiencing troubles/disasters, I will laugh at you. When things happen that cause you to be afraid, I will make fun of you.
Hijeh chun hahsatna dinmun nalhun teng uleh kanuisat diu, manthah nan nalhun den tengu jong leh kanuisat ding nahiuve.
27 When calamities strike you like a big storm, when disasters hit you like a violent wind, when [all kinds of things] distress you and give you trouble, [I will ridicule you!]
Huipi hattah banga manthahnan nahin lhun khum diu, chimpei banga hahsatna nahin to diu, chule gim le hesoh hoise tah in nalhun dendiu hijongleh ka khohsah louhel ding nahi tauve.
28 [Wisdom also says], “When foolish people call to me [to help them], I will not answer them. They will search for me diligently/everywhere, but they will not find me.
Hinlah amahon panpi ngaija eihin kou-diu, keiman kadonbut dehlou diu, gil tah'a eihol jing diu, ahin eihol doh jou deh lou diu ahi.
29 They refused to know [what things are right], and they decided not to revere Yahweh.
Ajeh chu amahon hetna athet uvin, Yahweh Pakai gin ding jong alheng deh pouvin ahi.
30 They would not accept my advice, and they did not pay attention when I tried to correct them.
Amahon kahilna asang pouvin, kagih salna jouse jong pannabei aso tauvin ahi.
31 So they will endure what will result [MET, DOU] from the evil way they have lived/behaved and the evil things they have planned to do.
Chule amahon anop chabep uva atoh-gau aneh diu, thilpha lou angaito jouseu thao twi banga jol lha diu ahi.
32 Those who turn away from me are stupid/foolish; they will die because of doing that.
Ajeh chu amahon lamdih jot louvin, milham ho chunga thina alhung lo jitan, lungthim beiho kiletsahna chu amaho manthahna asoh jin ahi.
33 But those who pay attention to me will live peacefully and safely, and they will not be afraid that something will harm them.”
Koi hileh kasei phatah'a ngaija chun lungmonna anei ding, gin ding neiloua lungmong sel'a cheng jing ding ahi.”
