5 Apan ahilna jahda mihem chu a ngol ahin, asuhkhel na chunga apan ahilna sang nga chu miching ahi.

29 Miphalou hoa kon in Yahweh Pakai akidalsen, mikitah ho taona vang angai peh jin ahi.
God is far from the ungodly; but he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. Better are small receipts with righteousness, than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. Let the heart of a man think justly, that his steps may be rightly ordered of God. The eye that sees rightly rejoices the heart; and a good report fattens the bones.
