Proverbs 11
1 A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but accurate weights are his delight.
Bawipa ing amak thyym cawi tahnak ce tuih nawh ak thyym cawi tahnaak ce ym hy.
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
Oequnaak a awm naak awh chahphyihnaak awm nawh, thlakkaina kaw ak phaihkhqi venawh cyihnaak awm hy.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
Thlakdyngkhqi kawlung leeknaak ing leek-naak lamawh amimah sawi khqi kawm saw, thlang amak ypawmkhqi am ypawmnaak ing amimah plam sak khqi kaw.
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
Kawsonaak a awm khui taw khawhthem ing phu am ta kaw. Dyngnaak ingtaw thihnaak awhkawng loet sak kaw.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
Thlakleek a dyngnaak ing lam huh kawm saw; khawsak amak leek thlang taw a seetnaak ing tluk sak kaw.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
Thlakdyngkhqi taw ami dyngnaak ing ami-mah hul khqi kawm saw, amak dyng thlangkhqi taw seetnaak a mi sai ing amimah bin khqi kaw.
7 When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
Ak thyymna khaw amak saa thlang taw a thihawh ang ngaih-uunaak awm boet pahoei nawh, ak thamahnaak ingkaw ang ngaih-uunaakkhqi boeih awm qeeng kaw.
8 A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
Thlakdyng taw kyyinaak a sawngawh loet sakna awm kawm saw, amak leek thlang ing a hyn pang tloep kaw.
9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
Khawsa amak siim thlang am khaa ing a imceng lovai hqee nawh, thlakdyng ingtaw ak leek khawpoeknaak ing loet sak hy.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
Thlakdyngkhqi khawsak a vaanawh a tui a khaw ing awmhly nawh, thlakche a thihawh awmhlynaak ing thlakkhqi khyy uhy.
11 By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Thlakdyngkhqi a zoseennaak ing khawkkhui kyihcahna awm nawh, thlakchekhqi am khaa ing thangseet sak hy.
12 One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
A imceng ak husit thlang ing cyihnaak khawdeng nawh, kawcyih ak ta ingtaw am khaa cyyp sak hy.
13 One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
Awih doem ing awihhyp pho sak nawh, thlang ypawm ing awihhyp thuh phah khawi hy.
14 Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
Sawikaainaak ak leek ama awm naak awh tluuknaak awm nawh, poeknaak ak leek a doemnaak awh noengnaak awm hy.
15 He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
Khawlawng thlang ham qii ak khoeng taw amah ham seetnaak ak saina awm nawh, qiik khoengkung ak toel thlang taw ding kaw.
16 A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
Nukleek ing kyihcahnaak ham kawm saw, pakleek ing khawhthem ham kaw.
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
Thlangqeen khaw ak ngai ing amah ham theemleek ham nawh khawsak amak leek ingtaw a pumsa ham kyinaak ham kaw.
18 Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
Thlakche ing thlang a thailatnaak phu hu nawh dyngnaak ak saw ingtaw laksawng do kaw.
19 He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
Dyngnaak awh ak ypawm thlang ing hqingnaak ham nawh, seetnaak ak hquut ing thihnaak ham kaw.
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
Kawpoek amak leek thlang ce Khawsa ing tuih nawh, thlakdyng taw ym hy.
21 Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
Beqoep usei awm, khawsak amak leek thlangkhqi taw toeltham kaana am hlah khqi kawm uh. Cehlai, thlakdyng taw ak dingna cet kaw.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
Ak thlang daw mai seiawm, amak cyyp nula taw vawk a huiawh sui kutcyh byn pek ing myih kaw.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
Thlakdyng a ngaihnaak taw themleek awh dyt nawh, thlakche ang ngaihypnaak taw kawsonaak ing boet kaw.
24 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
Theem pek taw pungnak khqoet ni, khawboe seet taw khawdengnaak khqoet ni.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
Khawboe ak leek thlang taw boei kawm saw, tui ing thlang ak syyp thlang taw amah awm syymna awm kaw.
26 People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
Caang ak hlawh thlang taw kawseet na awm kawm saw, ak zaawi ak thlang taw zoseennaak ing bee kaw.
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
Themleek ak sui ing kawpeok leek moe qhum kawm nih saw, amak leek theem ak sui ingtaw amak leek theem mi hqum kawm nih.
28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
A them ak ypnaak thlang taw tlu kawm saw, thlakdyng taw thing a no amyihna hlultawi kaw.
29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
A imkhuiawh seetnaak ak saikung ing khawhlii qona pang kawm saw, thlakqaw ing thlakcyi a tamnaa na awm kaw.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
Thlakdyng ak thaihqah taw hqingnaak thingna awm nawh, thlakcyi ing thlang kawlung noeng hy.
31 Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
Ngai lah, thlakdyng pateng khawmdek awh thungna a awm awhtaw thlakche ingkaw thlak-thawlh khqoet taw ikawmyihana nu thungna a awm pai kaw.
