< Proverbs 31 >
1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
Lengpa Lemuel anun anahilna thucheng ho aphondoh.
2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
“O kachapa, kanaobua kon'a kahin kachapa, ipi mong ham, kitepna vanga kahinsa kachapa?
3 Give not thy strength to women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
Nathahatna chu numei pedoh hih beh in, chule lengho sumanga pang ho chu lampi na ot louhel ding ahi.
4 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
O Lemuel, lengho dinga judon kiti hi angai ahipoi, vaihom'a pang ho dinga khamna theija lop hi angai ahipoi.
5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Ajeh chu ju adon tenguleh, thu adih'a kitansa le akiseisa chu aheimil diu; chutengleh gim hesoh changte dinga, adihnau chu asuhmil peh diu ahi.
6 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that are of heavy hearts.
Manthah nan aphah dingpa chu khamna thei donsah hih beh in, amavang alung hesoh val ho bou ju donsah tan.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Hitichun amaho cheng chu donsah inlang, avaichat nau asuhmil nadiu le agenthei nau tincheng asuhmil nadiu ahi.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Ama ding kisei thei lou ho dingin seipeh in, chule achung uva thu adih in tanpeh in.
9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Nakam kah inlang thu adih'in tan in, vaichate le angaichate chunga thu adih'a tanna chu umsah jing in.” ati.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies.
Numei jipha tah kimu jou ding koiham? Amanu chu sana pah jem jouse sang in jong ahoi joi.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
Ajipan alungthim akison pi lheh in, ajeh chu amanun ajipa hinkhoa ijakai abulhinsah ding ahi.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Amanu chun ajipa chunga thilpha chom atongdoh jin, ahinkho sung in ajipa setna atongdoh ngaipoi.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
Sa mul le tupat abolpeh jin, pontho tah in pat abol jin ahi.
14 She is like the merchant's ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
Hitobang numei hi kiveina kong innei tobang ahin, nehle chah jong gamla tah tah a kon'in ahinpo jie.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth food to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
Jingkah khovah masangin athouvin ain-sung mite dingin neh le chah agong jin, chule asoh nungah ho nikhat sunga atohdiu agontoh peh jin ahi.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
Amanu achen loumun agaven acho pai jin, amanu khutsoh mong in lengpilei abol in ahi.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
Amanu hin atai akigah in thanei tah in apang jin, aban thahat ajedoh jing in ahi.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise [is] good: her candle goeth not out by night.
Amanu hin akiveina a natoh athilbol jouse thil phachom ahi, ti asumil ngaipon; jan khovah kahsen athaomei amit khapoi.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
Akhut teni le muikung akisip lhop jingin, chule akhut tenin patkong kung atuh jing jinge.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yes, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
Migentheite huhnan akhut alhang jingin, chujongleh alhasamte dingin akhut alhang jing in ahi.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household [are] clothed with scarlet.
Hitobang numei hin ain chen buhbang hunglhah ding jong aging pon, ainsung mite abonchan ponlum in atom in hijeh chun alung monge.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing [is] silk and purple.
Hiche numei hin ama le ama din jong ponsil akikhon in, aponsil jong tupat ponnem le ponsandup jeng ahi.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
Khopi kelkot phung jousea ajipa akilang doh jingin, gamsung upaho lah a atouteng jongle min ahesoh keije.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it]; and delivereth girdles to the merchant.
Hitobang numei hin tupat ponnem akhongin akhonjou tengle akijoh jin, kivei miho henga jong konggah khao ajoh jin ahi.
25 Strength and honor [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
Thahat le gunchuna hi hiche numeinu dinga hi aponsil tobang ahin, khonunga phat hung lhung ding jong lungkhamna beijin agaldot theijin ahi.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue [is] the law of kindness.
Chingthei tah in thu aseijin, khoto tah a mihilna jong aneiyin ahi.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Insunga um thil jouse avetup sohkei jin, thaset jeh'a don louva akoi khatcha aumpoi.
28 Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband [also], and he praiseth her.
Hitobang numei hi achate ahung kipat doh jiuvin, numei nunnom nu tin asejun ahi; chule ajipa jeng in jong amanu hi apahcha lheh jie.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
“Vannoi leisetna numei kitahleh numei lolhing tamtah aumme, hinlah nangin amaho nakhel sohkeije” ati.
30 Favor [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Kijep hoisel nahi lhep lhahna bep ahin, melhoi jong hi chomcha ding bou ahi; hinlah Yahweh Pakai ging jing numei hi pachat dinga lomtah ahi.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Hitobang numei chu atohdoh jouse jal'in kipaman peuvin, chule khopi kot phung tinchenga anatohdoh jousen; lhang phong in vahchoi cheh tahen.
