Proverbs 23
1 Whanne thou sittist, to ete with the prince, perseyue thou diligentli what thingis ben set bifore thi face,
Ukkung hoi buh nawnto caak han nang hnut naah, na tuinuen to kahoihah angsum ah;
2 and sette thou a withholding in thi throte. If netheles thou hast power on thi soule,
buhcaak nam oeh hmoek nahaeloe, na qawnh to haita hoi aah baktiah ni oh.
3 desire thou not of his metis, in whom is the breed of `a leesing.
Kakhraem anih ih buh to khit hmah; to buh loe alinghaih buh ah ni oh.
4 Nyle thou trauele to be maad riche, but sette thou mesure to thi prudence.
Angraeng thai hanah toksah hmah; na palunghahaih to oep hmah.
5 Reise not thin iyen to richessis, whiche thou maist not haue; for tho schulen make to hem silf pennes, as of an egle, and tho schulen flee in to heuene.
Nawnetta ah anghma thaih hmuen to na khet maw? Tangtang ni van bangah kazawk tahmu baktih toengah, angraenghaih doeh pakhraeh tawnh moe, azawk ving.
6 Ete thou not with an enuyouse man, and desire thou not hise metis;
Uthaih tawn kami ih buh to caa pae hmah; anih ih kahoih caaknaek doeh khit pae hmah;
7 for at the licnesse of a fals dyuynour and of a coniectere, he gessith that, that he knowith not. He schal seie to thee, Ete thou and drinke; and his soule is not with thee.
anih loe a palung thung hoi poek ih baktih toengah oh; caa ah loe nae ah, tiah ang naa, toe palung tang hoiah thui ai.
8 Thou schalt brake out the metis, whiche thou hast ete; and thou schalt leese thi faire wordis.
Zetta na caak ih buh to palok roep ueloe, kahoih loknawk to na sung moeng tih.
9 Speke thou not in the eeris of vnwise men; for thei schulen dispise the teching of thi speche.
Kamthu khaeah lokthui hmah; anih loe na thuih ih palunghahaih lok to patoek tih.
10 Touche thou not the termes of litle children; and entre thou not in to the feeld of fadirles and modirles children.
Canghnii ih prae angzithaih ramri to pathui hmah; naqah ih lawk to lomh pae hmah;
11 For the neiybore of hem is strong, and he schal deme her cause ayens thee.
anih krangkung loe thacak; Angraeng mah nihcae kawng pongah na thuitaek tih.
12 Thin herte entre to techyng, and thin eeris `be redi to the wordis of kunnyng.
Thuitaekhaih bangah palung paek ah loe, palunghahaih lok bangah na naa to patueng ah.
13 Nile thou withdrawe chastisyng fro a child; for thouy thou smyte hym with a yerde, he schal not die.
Nawkta to thuitaek hanah paquem hmah; anih to cung hoiah na boh cadoeh dueh mak ai.
Hell thung hoiah anih to pahlong hanah, cung hoiah bop ah. (Sheol h7585)
15 Mi sone, if thi soule is wijs, myn herte schal haue ioye with thee;
Ka capa, palunghahaih na tawnh nahaeloe, ka palung hae anghoe tih.
16 and my reynes schulen make ful out ioye, whanne thi lippis speken riytful thing.
Ue, na pahni mah katoeng hmuen to thuih naah, ka palung hae anghoe tih.
17 Thin herte sue not synneris; but be thou in the drede of the Lord al dai.
Kazae kaminawk to awt hmah; Angraeng zithaih khue to palung thung hoi poek ah.
18 For thou schalt haue hope at the laste, and thin abidyng schal not be don awei.
Na oephaih loe hmabang ah oh, na oephaih loe boeng mak ai.
19 Mi sone, here thou, and be thou wijs, and dresse thi soule in the weie.
Ka capa, tahngai ah loe palungha ah; katoeng loklam ah na poekhaih palung to suem ah.
20 Nyle thou be in the feestis of drinkeris, nether in the ofte etyngis of hem, that bryngen togidere fleischis to ete.
Mu coih kami, moi caak koeh hmoek kami hoi angkom hmah.
21 For men yyuynge tent to drinkis, and yyuyng mussels togidere, schulen be waastid, and napping schal be clothid with clothis.
Mu coih kami hoi caaknaek amoeh kaminawk loe amtang tih; iih koeh hmoek kami loe amtanghaih mah khuk hmoek tih.
22 Here thi fadir, that gendride thee; and dispise not thi modir, whanne sche is eld.
Na tapenkung nam pa ih lok to tahngai ah, nam no mitong naah hnap hmah.
23 Bie thou treuthe, and nyle thou sille wisdom, and doctryn, and vndurstonding.
Loktang to qan ah, zaw let hmah; palunghahaih, thuitaekhaih hoi panoekhaih to talawk ah.
24 The fadir of a iust man ioieth ful out with ioie; he that gendride a wijs man, schal be glad in hym.
Katoeng kami ih ampa loe paroeai anghoe tih; palungha caa tapen ampa loe a caa nuiah anghoe tih.
25 Thi fadir and thi modir haue ioye, and he that gendride thee, make ful out ioye.
Nam no hoi nam pa to anghoe tih, nang tapenkung loe anghoehaih tawn tih.
26 My sone, yyue thin herte to me, and thin iyen kepe my weyes.
Ka capa, palung to na paek ah loe, ka loklamnawk hae na mik hoiah khen ah.
27 For an hoore is a deep diche, and an alien womman is a streit pit.
Tangzat zaw nongpata loe kathuk tangqom baktih, minawk zoek thaih nongpata loe tamcaek tuikhaw baktiah oh.
28 Sche settith aspie in the weie, as a theef; and sche schal sle hem, whiche sche schal se vnwar.
Mingcah baktiah kami to angang moe, nongpanawk zaehaih to pungsak.
29 To whom is wo? to whos fadir is wo? to whom ben chidingis? to whom ben dichis? to whom ben woundis with out cause? to whom is puttyng out of iyen?
Khosak bing kami loe mi maw? Mi maw palungsae? Mi maw patangh? Mi maw amoek? Tidoeh na ai ah mi maw nganbawh kana hak? Mi maw mik kamlingh?
30 Whether not to hem, that dwellen in wyn, and studien to drynke al of cuppis?
To baktih kaminawk loe mu naek angsum thai ai kami, tasi hoi atok ih mu naek hanah pakrong kaminawk ni.
31 Biholde thou not wyn, whanne it sparclith, whanne the colour therof schyneth in a ver.
Mu kathim maw, boengloeng pong lawn naah rong kampha mu maw, naek naah akun kahoih mu kathim maw to khen hmah.
32 It entrith swetli, but at the laste it schal bite as an eddre doith, and as a cocatrice it schal schede abrood venyms.
Boenghaih ah loe pahui baktiah kami to patuk moe, pahui sae ih kasoetui baktiah oh.
33 Thin iyen schulen se straunge wymmen, and thi herte schal speke weiwerd thingis.
Na mik mah kahoih ai nongpata to khen ueloe, na poekhaih palungthin to amkhraengsak ving tih.
34 And thou schalt be as a man slepinge in the myddis of the see, and as a gouernour aslepid, whanne the steere is lost.
Ue, nang loe tuipui um ah iip kami baktih, palong paehhaih qui nuiah iip kami baktiah na om tih.
35 And thou schalt seie, Thei beeten me, but Y hadde not sorewe; thei drowen me, and Y feelide not; whanne schal Y wake out, and Y schal fynde wynes eft?
Nihcae mah ang boh o, toe kana panoek ai; ang caep o, toe tidoeh ka panoek ai! Kang thawk naah, naek hanah mu to pakrong let han vop, tiah ni na thui tih.
