Proverbs 5
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding,
Kachapa, kachihna hi khohsah inlang ka thumop hi phaten ngaijin. Kathil hetkhen theina hi phatea nakol sunga nangai ding ahi.
2 that you may maintain discretion, that your lips may preserve knowledge.
Ajeh chu thil hetkhen theina neijin natin, nakam sung jenga jong hetthemna umjing ding ahi.
3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
Numei jong ho lei-chu khoiju lhumma lhum ding, athusei chan-u thao kinu sanga jolji ahi.
4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
Hinlah achaina chu gu-banga khajia, chule hemto chemjam banga hemji ahi.
Akeng tenin thina’a apui lutjia, noimi gam chan’a chelut ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)
6 She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.
Hitobang numei hin hinna lampi anahsah jipon, achena tinchang anoh phah jin, amanun-la akihet doh jipon ahi.
7 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.
Hijeh chun tun kachapa teho kasei ngaijun, kahilna thuchang hoakon hin jammang ding go hih beh un.
8 Remove your way far from her. Don’t come near the door of her house,
Hiche numeinua kon khun kidalseu vin, akotpi phung lam’a jong chenai ding go hih beh un.
9 lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;
Hitia chu nabol lou ule, mihoa kon jabolna nachan lou ding, nahin kho sunga min nakhoto thei lou ding ahi.
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.
Hetkhah lou mihon nahatna le nahaona aboncha a-luo diu, natohga jouse jong michom beh in a-luo ding ahi.
11 You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
Na hinkho ajona lam teng gim hesoh nato ding, natahsa pumpi manthahna aso diu ahi.
12 and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.
Chuteng nangin seijin natin, “Kigah chahna hi ichan-a kana thet a, phosalna hi iti kana thet hitam?
13 I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
Keiman eihil ho thu kana donse pon, ka dinga thusei ho jeng jong kana donse tapoi.
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin, among the gathered assembly.”
Tuhin mipi kikhopna’a kon keima mah thahna mun kalhun kon ahitai, tia nasei ding ahi.”
15 Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.
Nangma twikhuh’a kon hung potdoh twi chu kidon jeng tan.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?
Na twikhuh dunga twi put chu muntin’a hetdoh-a um’a chule kholai tinchanga um mong ding hinam?
17 Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.
Hichu nanga ding bouvin koijin, nakom’a hung maljin vang nachan sah lou ding ahi.
18 Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Na twikhuh chu phatthei chang tahen, nangma tah jong nasenji chunga kipah tan.
19 A loving doe and a graceful deer— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.
Na deitah na jinu sajuh golpai hoitah le sajuh chal hoitah bang in, phattin in aman nahebolna nachunga lhung jing hen, amanu anglum jal’a kipah jing nahin, aman natuh chah jing hi nalungset phot chetna ahi.
20 For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?
Kachapa, i-atileh numei chon chavei chu naki ngaipi jing a, hitobang numei kampao phalou chu a-anglum’a um ding nagot jing ham?
21 For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes. He examines all his paths.
Ajeh chu Pakai hi mihem lam lhah jouse ve-jing ahin, alam lhah na jouse avet-jing ahi.
22 The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.
Miphalou chu a chondih lounan akipalsah teijin, a chonsetna chun atuh chahji ahitai.
23 He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.
Ama chu kigah chana beija thina chang ding, angol-ga chun manthahna asoji ahi.
