< Mithali 1 >

1 Mithali za Solomoni mwana wa Daudi, mfalme wa Israeli:
Israel sangpahrang David a capa Solomon ak awicyih taw;
2 Kwa kupata hekima na nidhamu; kwa kufahamu maneno ya busara;
Cyihnaak ingkaw cawngpyinaak, zaaksimnaak thaikhqi siimsak ham,
3 kwa kujipatia nidhamu na busara, kufanya lililo sawa, haki na bila kupendelea;
Dyngnaak, awitlyknaak, pekbonaak a awm kaana hawnaak thai ham ingkaw cawngpyinaak ak thym pawmnaak thai ham;
4 huwapa busara wajinga, maarifa na akili kwa vijana;
Khawk hangkhqi khawsimnaak taaksak ham ingkaw, cacoenkhqi khawkpoek thainaak taaksak ham;
5 wenye hekima na wasikilize nao waongeze elimu yao, wenye kupambanua na wapate mwongozo;
Thlakcyikhqi ing siim unawh a mi cyihnaak a pungnaak khqoet nawh, khawkpoek thaikhqi ing khawkpoeknaak thai a mi taaknaak khqoet hamna,
6 kwa kufahamu mithali na mifano, misemo na vitendawili vya wenye hekima.
Awicyih ingkaw ak kqawncaihnaakkhqi, thlakcyi ak awi ingkaw a mik awih kqawn zaaksimnaak thai nace awm hy.
7 Kumcha Bwana ndicho chanzo cha maarifa, lakini wapumbavu hudharau hekima na adabu.
Bawipa kqihchahnaak taw cyihnaak a kungpyina awm nawh; Cehlai, thlakqawkhqi ingtaw cyihnaak ingkaw cawngpyinaak husit uhy.
8 Mwanangu, sikiliza mwongozo wa baba yako, wala usiyaache mafundisho ya mama yako.
Ka capa, na pa cawngpyinaak ce ngai nawh, na nu cawngpyinaak ce koeh hoet.
9 Hayo yatakuwa taji la maua la neema kichwani pako, na mkufu wa kuipamba shingo yako.
Na lu hamna khqaipai leek soeihna awm nawh, na hawng hamna aawi hun leek soeihna awm kaw.
10 Mwanangu, kama wenye dhambi wakikushawishi, usikubaliane nao.
Ka capa, thlakchekhqi ing a ni zoek awh koeh ngai kawp ti.
11 Kama wakisema, “Twende tufuatane; tukamvizie mtu na kumwaga damu, njoo tukavizie nafsi isiyo na hatia;
“Kami venna law lah, thlang a thi lawng sak lah usih, thlakche ak qeenkhqi ce qym khqi lah usih;
12 tuwameze wakiwa hai kama kaburi, wakiwa wazima kama wale wanaotumbukia shimoni. (Sheol h7585)
Ceikhui amyihna a hqingpumna daih khqi lah usih, phyi khui amyihna. (Sheol h7585)
13 Tutapata aina zote za vitu vya thamani na kujaza nyumba zetu kwa nyara.
A phuk tlotlokhqi ni ham kawm saw, thlang a theem ni qawtkhqi ing ni im ce nik bee kaw.
14 Njoo ushirikiane nasi, vitu vyote tutakavyopata tutagawana.”
“Kami venawh bang lawlawt nawh taw, tangka bawm ni qup haih kawm uh,” a mi ti awh,
15 Mwanangu, usiandamane nao. Usiweke mguu wako katika njia zao,
Ka capa, a ming lakawh koeh boei nawh, a mi lam awhkawng phleng qu kawp ti.
16 kwa kuwa miguu yao hukimbilia kwenye dhambi, ni wepesi kumwaga damu.
A mi khaw ce thawlhnaak lam benna kaan unawh, thi ak lawngsak hamna a ming hqii tawn sak uhy.
17 Tazama ni jinsi gani ilivyo kazi bure kutandaza wavu wakati ndege wote wanakuona!
Lawk ce ak chaap maina zan ni, kawmyih phaa a haiawh awm.
18 Watu hawa huvizia kumwaga damu yao wenyewe; hujivizia tu wenyewe!
Cekkhqi taw a mimah thi ce lawngsak unawh a mi hqingnaak ak plamsakkhqi ni.
19 Huu ndio mwisho wa wote ambao wanajipatia mali kwa hila; huuondoa uhai wa wale wenye mali.
Ceamyihna ni, a mak thymna ak kamvaakhqi lam taw; ami boei a hqingnaak ce lawh pe uhy.
20 Hekima huita kwa sauti kuu barabarani, hupaza sauti yake kwenye viwanja vikubwa;
Chawmkeeng awh cyihnaak ce khawteh na khyy nawh, Chawmkeeng tung keengawh ce khyy hy;
21 kwenye makutano ya barabara za mji zenye makelele mengi hupaza sauti, kwenye malango ya mji hutoa hotuba yake:
Thlang khawzah ang cunnaak ang lungkil awh ce khyy nawh, khawkkhui lutnaak vawng chawmkeeng awhce khyy hy.
22 “Enyi wajinga, mtangʼangʼania ujinga wenu hadi lini? Mpaka lini wenye mizaha watafurahia mizaha, na wapumbavu kuchukia maarifa?
Nangmih khawk hangkhqi aw, i qyt dy nu khaw na mi hang hly? I qyt dy nu a nik husit khqi huhsitnaak khuiawh na mi awm hly, thlakqawkhqi ing cyihnaak na mi maa hly?
23 Kama mngekuwa mmeitikia karipio langu, ningekuwa nimemimina roho yangu kwenu na kuwafahamisha maneno yangu.
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 Lakini kwa kuwa mlinikataa nilipowaita na hakuna yeyote aliyekubali niliponyoosha mkono wangu,
Nik khykhqi nyng, ni maa uhyk ti, ka kut soeng nyng, uca ingawm am do uhyk ti;
25 kwa kuwa mliyapuuza mashauri yangu yote na hamkukubali karipio langu,
Ka khawkhannaakkhqi boeih ikawna am ngai unawh, ka ni toelnaakkhqi boeih ce hooet uhyk ti.
26 mimi nami nitawacheka katika maafa yenu, nitawadhihaki wakati janga litawapata:
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 wakati janga litawapata kama tufani, wakati maafa yatawazoa kama upepo wa kisulisuli, wakati dhiki na taabu zitawalemea.
Na mi lynak hlinu amyihna a thoeng law nawh, na mi zoseetnaak tym ing a pha lawawh, kyinaak ingkaw ngaihangnaak namik khanawh a pha law awh.
28 “Ndipo watakaponiita lakini sitawajibu; watanitafuta lakini hawatanipata.
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 Kwa kuwa walichukia maarifa, wala hawakuchagua kumcha Bwana,
Cyihnaak maa unawh, Bawipa kqihchahnaak ce ama mik tyhnaak ak caming.
30 kwa kuwa hawakukubali mashauri yangu, na kukataa maonyo yangu,
Ka khawkhannaak pynoet ca mai awm am ngaih unawh, ka toelthamnaak boeih ce a mi huhsit caming.
31 watakula matunda ya njia zao, na watashibishwa matunda ya hila zao.
Ceamyihna awmsaw a mi khawsak ak thaih qah ce aii kawm usaw, a mik poeknaak ing qoh kawm uh.
32 Kwa kuwa ukaidi wa wajinga utawaua, nako kuridhika kwa wajinga kutawaangamiza.
Thlakchekhqi hu benna nawngnaak ing a mimah him khqi kawm saw, ak qawkhqi ang ngaihdingnaak ing amimah moeng sak khqi kaw.
33 Lakini yeyote anisikilizaye ataishi kwa usalama, atatulia, bila kuwa na hofu ya madhara.”
Kak awi ak haanaak taw ak ding cana khaw sa kawm usaw, zoseetnaak khuiawh awm ngaiqeep cana khawsa kawm uh.
