Mithali 8
1 Je, hekima haitani? Je, ufahamu hapazi sauti?
Chihnan kho ahin sap teng jatei ding gon, chule thil hetkhen nan lhang asap teng ngaijin.
2 Juu ya miinuko karibu na njia, penye njia panda, ndipo asimamapo;
Lampi pam le lhangvum dung a, chihna chu ading le’in ahi.
3 kando ya malango yaelekeayo mjini, kwenye maingilio, hulia kwa sauti kubwa, akisema:
Khopi lutna kelkot phung dung a, kholen tinchang maija, chule kotjum lutna thei jousea lhang asam in ahi.
4 “Ni ninyi wanaume, ninaowaita; ninapaza sauti yangu kwa wanadamu wote.
“Mijouse jah-a kakou ahin, mihem chapa jouse kakou ahi.
5 Ninyi ambao ni wajinga, pateni akili; ninyi mlio wapumbavu, pateni ufahamu.
Milham ho nahiu vin, lunggel them hina din kihil un, mingol ho jeng in jong lunglut in ngaijun.
6 Sikilizeni, kwa maana nina mambo muhimu ya kusema; ninafungua midomo yangu kusema lililo sawa.
Ngaitem un, keiman thil phachom tah nahil uvinge, kakam sunga kon thudih jengbou pot ding ahi.
7 Kinywa changu husema lililo kweli, kwa maana midomo yangu huchukia uovu.
Ajeh chu kakam in thudih bou aseiji ding, adihlou sei kiti hi kakam in ajahda ahi.
8 Maneno yote ya kinywa changu ni haki; hakuna mojawapo lililopotoka wala ukaidi.
Kakam akon thu kisei jouse adih ahin, akikal le ache khel ding ima umlou ahi.
9 Kwa wenye kupambanua yote ni sahihi; hayana kasoro kwa wale wenye maarifa.
Kathu hil hekhen theipa chun adih akisan ding, hetthemna neipa dinga chu adih bou ahi.
10 Chagua mafundisho yangu badala ya fedha, maarifa badala ya dhahabu safi,
Sumlepai sang in kathu hil kilhen un, Sana thengsel sanga jong hetna naki lhen joh diu ahi.
11 kwa maana hekima ina thamani kuliko marijani na hakuna chochote unachohitaji kinacholingana naye.
Ajeh chu sana kijem pah sanga chihna hi thupi ahin, na lungdei chan toh kitekah thei ahipoi.
12 “Mimi hekima, nakaa pamoja na busara; ninamiliki maarifa na busara.
Chihna hi keima kahin chingthei tah’a um kahi, hetna le thil hetkhen themna nei kahi.
13 Kumcha Bwana ni kuchukia uovu; ninachukia kiburi na majivuno, tabia mbaya na mazungumzo potovu.
Pakai ginna chun thilse ahotbol in, hijeh chun keiman kiletsahna le hoithona, thil aphalou, ahilou louva thu kisei chan chu kathet ahi.
14 Ushauri na hukumu sahihi ni vyangu; nina ufahamu na nina nguvu.
Keima’a kon hin, chihna giltah le phachom tah’a kihilna aum in, asung thua hetna le thahat chu keija bou um ahi.
15 Kwa msaada wangu wafalme hutawala na watawala hutunga sheria zilizo za haki,
Keijal’a lenghon vai-apoh ahin, keijal’a bou vaihom ten adih’a thu tanna anei ahi.
16 kwa msaada wangu wakuu hutawala, na wenye vyeo wote watawalao dunia.
Keijal’a alen alal ten vai ahop jiu, chule keijal’a bou alal ten vai apoh theiyu ahi.
17 Nawapenda wale wanipendao, na wale wanitafutao kwa bidii wataniona.
Keima eingailu ho kangailun, giltah’a eihol ten eimu tei jiuvin ahi.
18 Utajiri na heshima viko kwangu, utajiri udumuo na mafanikio.
Keima haona le jabolna jousen eijui in, phattheina le haona chun eidalha jipoi.
19 Tunda langu ni bora kuliko dhahabu safi; kile nitoacho hupita fedha iliyo bora.
Ka thilpeh hohi sana sanga phachom ahin, sana thengsel sanga jong hoijoa, chule kanatoh jong sum le pai sanga phajo ahi.
20 Natembea katika njia ya unyofu katika mapito ya haki,
Keima thudihtah’a lamlha jing kahin, thutanna adih lam jeng chu kaho-ji ahi.
21 nawapa utajiri wale wanipendao na kuzijaza hazina zao.
Keima eingailu hon gou alo diu kasem peh in, agou kholnau jouse kasuh dimpeh-jin ahi.
22 “Bwana aliniumba mwanzoni mwa kazi yake, kabla ya matendo yake ya zamani;
Pakaiyin atil abulla athilsem apat ei-umsah ahin, khanglui apat athilsem masapen kahitai.
23 niliteuliwa tangu milele, tangu mwanzoni, kabla ya dunia kuumbwa.
Atil-a leiset kisem masang, kum asang sang masanga pat keima tundohsa chu kahi tai.
24 Wakati hazijakuwepo bahari, nilikwishazaliwa, wakati hazijakuwepo chemchemi zilizojaa maji;
Kapen chun anim-atong lai jong ana um pon, twi putna jouse jong khatcha ana um poi.
25 kabla milima haijawekwa mahali pake, kabla vilima havijakuwepo, nilikwishazaliwa,
Mol le lhang kigol toh masang, chule thinglhang jouse kisemtoh masanga pat ana um kahitai.
26 kabla hajaumba dunia wala mashamba yake au vumbi lolote la dunia.
Pathen in leiset le tollhang asem masang, vannoija leigum kisemdoh masanga pat um kahi.
27 Nilikuwepo alipoziweka mbingu mahali pake, wakati alichora mstari wa upeo wa macho juu ya uso wa kilindi,
Pathen in vanho atundoh masanga um kahin, twikhanglen kuol khum vanthamjol alhundoh masanga jong um kahitai.
28 wakati aliweka mawingu juu na kuziweka imara chemchemi za bahari,
Pathen in chunglam’a vanthamjol ho atundoh ahin, leinoiya pat twi aput dohsah masanga jong um kahin,
29 wakati aliiwekea bahari mpaka wake ili maji yasivunje agizo lake, na wakati aliweka misingi ya dunia.
Twikhanglen geigol jong alet lhahna lou dinga asem toh, twipi jeng in jong athu angaina dinga asem toh, leiset khompi jouse jong atundoh masanga pat um kahi.
30 Wakati huo nilikuwa fundi stadi kando yake. Nilijazwa na furaha siku baada ya siku, nikifurahi daima mbele zake,
Keima tah jong akom-cha’a khut them bang um kahin, nitin le phattin in akom-a kapansan kipatah in kaum jing in ahi.
31 nikifurahi katika dunia yake yote nami nikiwafurahia wanadamu.
Pathen in mihemte chenna dia leiset atundoh ahin, keima jong kipah tah-in kaum in, mihemte lah’a thanopnan kadim e.
32 “Basi sasa wanangu, nisikilizeni; heri wale wanaozishika njia zangu.
Hijeh chun kachate ho kasei ngaijun, kathu ngaija ka lampia che jing ho kipah ding’u ahi.
33 Sikilizeni mafundisho yangu mwe na hekima; msiyapuuze.
Kathuhil ho ngaijun lang ching theijun, kahilchah-nau hi tuh chah jing un.
34 Heri mtu yule anisikilizaye mimi, akisubiri siku zote malangoni mwangu, akingoja kwenye vizingiti vya mlango wangu.
Ka thusei ngaija mihem chu anunnom hi ding, amachun nitin’a kakot phunga anga jing ding, ka kotpi phunga tatlouvin ading in ahi
35 Kwa maana yeyote anipataye mimi amepata uzima na kujipatia kibali kutoka kwa Bwana.
Ajeh chu keima eimudoh chan chun hinna akimu tan, chule Pakaija kon in hepina achang'un ahi.
36 Lakini yeyote ashindwaye kunipata hujiumiza mwenyewe; na wote wanichukiao mimi hupenda mauti.”
Amavang keima eidonlou chan chun, ama le aman gimna akimu jin, keima ei hot chan chun, thina jeng angai chat ahibouve.”
