Proverbs 28
1 A wicked man flees when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Thlakche taw ahu am hqut u seiawm cen kaw. Thlakdyng taw samthyn amyihna am thin awm kaw.
2 For the transgression of a land many are the rulers of it. But by men of understanding and knowledge the state shall be prolonged.
Qam khuiawh qaal a thawhawh, ukkung khawzah awm hy, cehlai khaw ak poek thai ingkaw cyihnaak ak taa thlang ingtaw ak dingna qam uk hy.
3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is a sweeping rain which leaves no food.
Khawdengkhqi ak thekhanaak ukkung taw tawi an amak tawi sak qawh tui ing myih hy.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.
A lawngim ak cehtaakkhqi ing thlakche kyihcah unawh, cehlai a lawngim amyihna khaw ak sakhqi ingtaw oelh uhy.
5 Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek Jehovah understand all things.
Thlang amak leek ing ik-oeih ak dyng am sim thai uhy, cehlai Bawipa ak sui thlangkhqi ingtaw ak soep cana sim thai uhy.
6 Better is the poor man who walks in his integrity, than he who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
Amak thymna khaw ak sa kuiqang lakawh caawt kawi amak awmna khawksa khawdeng leek bet hy.
7 He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
A lawngim amyihna khaw ak sa thai thlang taw khaw ak poek thai capak cyihna awm hy, cehlai aawk ai ak kamva ak pyinaak capa ingtaw a pa chah pyih sak hy.
8 He who augments his substance by interest and increase, gathers it for him who has pity on the poor.
A pung khawzah lawhnaak ing boei nawh thlang hamna them khawzah ak cun thlang taw, khawdengkhqi ak qeenkung na awm hy.
9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
U awm a lawngim benna haa amak keeng thlang taw, ak cykcahnaak awm tuih ak cu ni.
10 He who causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit. But the perfect shall inherit good.
Thlakdyng, lam amak leekawh ak ceh pyi taw amah a vaam cawh nawn awh tla kaw, cehlai thlak soep coet amak kap ingtaw qo leek pang kawm uh.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit, but a poor man who has understanding searches him out.
Kuiqang thlang ing amah ngaih awh thlakcyi na ngai qu mai seiawm, thlak khawdeng khawkpoek thai ingtaw ak ceetna huh pe hy.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
Thlakdyng ing noengnaak a huhawh kyihcahnaak ak sang soeih pe uhy; cehlai thlakche a boei awh thlangkhqi ing thuk taak uhy.
13 He who covers his transgressions shall not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them shall obtain mercy.
A thawlh ak thuhphah ak thlang ing qeennaak am ham kawm saw, a thawlhnaak pho sak nawh qeennaak ak thoeh ing qeennaak hu kaw.
14 Happy is the man who fears always, but he who hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.
Bawipa ak kqihcah poe taw thlang zoseen ni, am thin ak sah ak thlang taw kyinaak sawng kaw.
15 A roaring lion, and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
Khawdeng ak thekhanaak ukkung taw samthyyn ak kaawk ingkaw phawm ak tlung ing myih hy.
16 The ruler who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
Khawkpoek thainaak amak ta ukkung taw thlang ak phep qeekung ni, amak thymna them huh ak sawhnaak thlang taw a hqinglung saang kaw.
17 A man who is laden with the blood of any person shall flee to the pit. Let no man stay him.
A kutawh thlang thi ak lawng lawkkhqawng dungawh tla kawm saw, u ingawm koeh hul seh nyng.
18 He who walks uprightly shall be delivered, but he who is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
U awm ak thymna khawksa taw loet sakna awm kawm saw, amak thymna khawksa taw tlu poe kaw.
19 He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who follows after vanity shall have poverty enough.
A loawh bi ak bi ing aawk ai khawzah hu kaw, cehlai a nawmnaak doeng ak sui thlang taw khawdeng kaw.
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
Thlak ypawm ing zoseennaak hu kawm saw, cehlai boei ak ngaih aih taw a phep kaana am hlah kawm uh.
21 To have respect of persons is not good, nor that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
Thlang mikhai toek am leek hy, cehlai phaipi cun oet mai ing thlang ing thawlh sai thai hy.
22 He who has an evil eye hastens after riches, and does not know that want shall come upon him.
Thlakqu ing them hu hquut nawh, ak khan-awh khawdengnaak a pha law hly am sim hy.
23 He who rebukes a man shall afterward find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue.
Awih leek ing anik kyihcahna ak saa qu thlang lakawh anik toelthamkung ing a huna kyihcahnaak hu kaw.
24 He who robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression, the same is the companion of a destroyer.
A nu pa a them muk nawh, “Am poei hy,” ak ti taw thlang ak plam sakkung ni.
25 He who is of a greedy spirit stirs up strife, but he who puts his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.
Ak kamvaa a awmnaak awh phekbonaak awm nawh, Bawipa ak ypnaak taw thlang zoseen ni.
26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks wisely, he shall be delivered.
Ak poeknaak awh ak hanng ak thlang taw thlakqaw na awm nawh, cehlai cyihnaak awh ak cet taw thlang zoseen ni.
27 He who gives to the poor shall not lack, but he who hides his eyes shall have many a curse.
Khawdeng them ak pe taw am khawdeng kawm saw, ak hawimang taak taw quun khy pekna awm kaw.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Thlakche a boei awh thlak boei ing thuk taak nawh, cehlai thlakche a thih awh thlakdyngkhqi pung uhy.
