Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
Thlakche taw ahu am hqut u seiawm cen kaw. Thlakdyng taw samthyn amyihna am thin awm kaw.
2 A land in rebellion has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order.
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 destitute leader who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that 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 those who keep the law resist 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 the LORD comprehend fully.
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 a poor man who walks with integrity than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
Amak thymna khaw ak sa kuiqang lakawh caawt kawi amak awmna khawksa khawdeng leek bet hy.
7 A discerning son keeps the law, but a companion of gluttons disgraces 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 increases his wealth by interest and usury lays it up for one who is kind to the poor.
A pung khawzah lawhnaak ing boei nawh thlang hamna them khawzah ak cun thlang taw, khawdengkhqi ak qeenkung na awm hy.
9 Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable.
U awm a lawngim benna haa amak keeng thlang taw, ak cykcahnaak awm tuih ak cu ni.
10 He who leads the upright along the path of evil will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is 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 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man with discernment sees through him.
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 conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find 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 Blessed is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
Bawipa ak kqihcah poe taw thlang zoseen ni, am thin ak sah ak thlang taw kyinaak sawng kaw.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
Khawdeng ak thekhanaak ukkung taw samthyyn ak kaawk ingkaw phawm ak tlung ing myih hy.
16 A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will 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 burdened by bloodguilt will flee into the Pit; let no one support him.
A kutawh thlang thi ak lawng lawkkhqawng dungawh tla kawm saw, u ingawm koeh hul seh nyng.
18 He who walks with integrity will be kept safe, but whoever is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.
U awm ak thymna khawksa taw loet sakna awm kawm saw, amak thymna khawksa taw tlu poe kaw.
19 The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
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 will abound with blessings, but one eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
Thlak ypawm ing zoseennaak hu kawm saw, cehlai boei ak ngaih aih taw a phep kaana am hlah kawm uh.
21 To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
Thlang mikhai toek am leek hy, cehlai phaipi cun oet mai ing thlang ing thawlh sai thai hy.
22 A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty awaits him.
Thlakqu ing them hu hquut nawh, ak khan-awh khawdengnaak a pha law hly am sim hy.
23 He who rebukes a man will later find more favor than one who flatters with his 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 mother, saying, “It is not wrong,” is a companion to the man who destroys.
A nu pa a them muk nawh, “Am poei hy,” ak ti taw thlang ak plam sakkung ni.
25 A greedy man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
Ak kamvaa a awmnaak awh phekbonaak awm nawh, Bawipa ak ypnaak taw thlang zoseen ni.
26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.
Ak poeknaak awh ak hanng ak thlang taw thlakqaw na awm nawh, cehlai cyihnaak awh ak cet taw thlang zoseen ni.
27 Whoever gives to the poor will not be in need, but he who hides his eyes will receive many curses.
Khawdeng them ak pe taw am khawdeng kawm saw, ak hawimang taak taw quun khy pekna awm kaw.
28 When the wicked come to power, people hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous flourish.
Thlakche a boei awh thlak boei ing thuk taak nawh, cehlai thlakche a thih awh thlakdyngkhqi pung uhy.
