Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a grievous word stirs up anger.
Awih neem ing kawso qeem sak nawh, awih tlo ing kaw so sak hy.
2 The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.
Thlakcyi am lai ing cyihnaak awitak cawn sak nawh, thlakqaw am kha ing qawnaak dang sak hy.
3 The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
Boepa mik taw hyn boeih awh awm nawh, theem leek ingkaw theem che toek poepa hy.
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit.
Thlang ak qoei sak lai taw hqingnaak thingna awm nawh, thailatnaak ing ak bee lai taw kawlung patang sak hy.
5 A fool despises his father's correction, but he who regards reproof gets prudence.
Thlakqaw ingtaw a pa ak toelnaak husit nawh, cehlai toelnaak ak haanaak taw ngaihtaak ing khawksaa thlang ni.
6 In the house of a righteous man is much treasure, but in the revenues of a wicked man is trouble.
Thlakdyng imawh khawh khawzah awm nawh, thlakche khawboe phu taw kawpoek kyinaak ni.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish, not so.
Thlakcyi a huui ing siimnaak pungtai sak nawh, thlakqaw kawlung ingtaw cemyih am sai hy.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Thlakche a hyih phum taw Khawsa ham tuih kawina awm nawh; thlakleek a hlacamnaak taw Khawsa ham kawzeelnaak ni.
9 The way of a wicked man is an abomination to Jehovah, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
Thlakchekhqi lam taw Khawsa ham tuih kawina awm nawh, dyngnaak lamawh ak cetkhqi cetaw lungna khqi hy.
10 There is grievous correction for him who forsakes the way. He who hates reproof shall die.
Lamawh amak cetkhqi taw ak tlo soeih toelnaak ing qeeh nawh; toelthamnaak ak sawhnaak thlang taw thi kaw.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah. How much more then the hearts of the sons of men! (Sheol h7585)
Ceikhui ingkaw Abaddon ce Khawsa ing a huh pheng awhtaw thlang kawlung taw ikawmyih na nu ang dang hly pheng? (Sheol h7585)
12 A scoffer does not like to be reproved. He will not go to the wise.
Thlang ak thekha naak ing toelnaak am lungna nawh, thlakcyi venna awm am cet ti kaw.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
Kawlung awmhlynaak ing mikhai hlampan sak nawh, kawlung tlohnaak ing myihla kawseet sak hy.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
Khawkpoek thainaak kawlung ak ta ing cyinaak sui nawh, thlakqaw am kha ingtaw qawnaak doengawh awm hy.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
Kyinaak ak sawng ham khawnghii boeih ve se boeih nawh, kawlung ak nawmkhqi ham taw zeelnaak poei ing bee poepa hy.
16 Better is little with the fear of Jehovah, than great treasure and trouble with it.
Patang doena theem khawzah taak ang lakawh Khawsa kqihnaak ing theem a khoeh taak ve leek bet hy.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred with it.
Sawhnaak kawlung ing vaitaw ak tha him nawh buh vel anglakawh lungnak a awmnaak awh an hah ing buh vel haih leek bet hy.
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but he who is slow to anger appeases strife.
Thlang am thin ak see ing hqehnaak coeng sak nawh, yhnaak ak ta thlang ingtaw kawso qeem sak hy.
19 The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is made a highway.
Thlang thakdam a lamawh hling bee nawh, thlakmeet a lam taw kau nawh dyng hy.
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
Capak cyi ing pa ak kaw zeel sak nawh, thlakqaw ingtaw a nu thee na hy.
21 Folly is joy to him who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding makes his going straight.
Cyihnaak amak ta khqi ham taw qawnaak ve a mi awmhlynaak na awm nawh, khawksiim thlang ingtaw a lam dyng sak hy.
22 Where there is no counsel, plans are disappointed, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Awi doet qu kaana bi sai ing am phu mah nawh, cehlai awi doet qunaak a kuum awh bibi coeng hy.
23 A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!
Amah a tym canawh awi doet hlatnaak ak thyym zaak taw ym ham kawi soeih hy.
Thlakcyi ham hqingnaak lam taw a baang benna kawng nawh, kham lam Ceikhui lamawh ama ceh naak ham. (Sheol h7585)
25 Jehovah will root up the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow.
Bawipa ing thlak oekqu a im ce khaai khoep kawm saw, nuhai a im khoeng taw cak sak kaw.
26 Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah, but pleasant words are pure.
Kawpoek amak leek taw Khawsa am tyih kawina awm nawh, kawpoek ak ciimkhqi kawpoek cetaw ym pekkhqi hy.
27 He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes shall live.
Thlak kamvaa ing a imkhui patang pe hy, cehlai ang hyp kutdo ak sawhnaak thlang taw hqing kaw.
28 The heart of a righteous man meditates to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
Thlakdyng kawlung ing awi khin ngai hy, cehlai thlakche ingtaw awihche hlah sawqhat hy.
29 Jehovah is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Khawsa ing thlakche khqi ce lak hla khqi nawh thlakdyng khqi a cykcahnaak taw zaak pekkhqi hy.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news make the bones fat.
Mikhai hlampannaak ingawh kawlung awmhly sak nawh, awithangleek ing quhqawng cang sak hy.
31 The ear that hearkens to the reproof of life shall abide among the wise.
Hqingnaak pek toelthamnaak ak haanaak taw thlakcyikhqi a imkhui cakawna awm kaw.
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who hearkens to reproof gets understanding.
Toelthamnaak amak haanaak taw ang myihla ak thekhanaak ni, zyihtoelnaak ak haanaak ingtaw zaaksimnaak hu kaw.
33 The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility.
Khawsa kqihchahnaak taw cyihnaak ak cawngpyikungna awm nawh; dungvoengnaak taw kyihcahna awmnaak hly ni.
