Proverbs 27
1 Do not make a noise about tomorrow, for you are not certain what a day's outcome may be.
Khawngawi a ham koeh oe qu, ce khawnghii ing ikaw a thoeng law hly pyi am sim hyk ti.
2 Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.
Namah ingkaw namah koeh kyihcah qu nawh thlang ing mah nim kyihcah seh. Na hui am, am na sim thlang a hui ing nim kyihcah seh.
3 A stone has great weight, and sand is crushing; but the wrath of the foolish is of greater weight than these.
Lung taw qih soeih nawh, dizui ing qih hlai moe, ceseiawm thlakqaw ing thlak kaw a so sak ve qih bet hy.
4 Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?
Kawtawinaak ing phyl nawh, kawsonaak ing tlung hy; cehlai yytnaak ve uing nu ang yh noeng kaw?
5 Better is open protest than love kept secret.
Lungnaak ing thuh phah anglakawh ak dangna toeltham qu leek bet hy.
6 The wounds of a friend are given in good faith, but the kisses of a hater are false.
Pyi ingtaw lungnak ing ni lambai na nawh, na qaal ingtaw thailatnaak ing ni mawk kaw.
7 The full man has no use for honey, but to the man in need of food every bitter thing is sweet.
Phoet phyi ham taw khawilu awm tuih kawina awm nawh, phoet cawi ham taw ant kha awm ak aawi ni.
8 Like a bird wandering from the place of her eggs is a man wandering from his station.
Thlang a im ak vantaak taw, pha ang bu ak poengtaak ing myih hy.
9 Oil and perfume make glad the heart, and the wise suggestion of a friend is sweet to the soul.
Bawktui ingkaw bawktui khu ing kawlung a awmhly sak amyihna, kawlung tak awhkawng ak cawn law pyi ak khawsimnaak ing kawlung nawm sak hy.
10 Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.
Na pyi ingkaw na pa a pyi ce koeh hlah; kyi-naak na huhawh nam cawt imna koeh ceh; na imceng taw khawlawng hla nakaw nam cawt anglakawh leek bet hy.
11 My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.
Ka capa, cyi nawh, kak kaw ni zeel sak lah; Anik thekhanaakkhqi kam hlat naak thai ham.
12 The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.
Thlakcyi ing amak leek them a huhawh thuk taak nawh, thlakqaw ingtaw pan nawh amah ing zaawk na hy.
13 Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
Am sim thlang ham ingkaw khawsak amak leek nu ham dyihthingna ak dyi thlang taw a hibai mai aw, a khawhkham pynoet oet mai aw hawih seh.
14 He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.
Mymcang hii tho nawh, a imceng ce khaw-tehna khy nawh zoseennaak ak pe taw, quun ak khy pek ing myih kaw.
15 Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.
Hqo ak sai poepa zu taw khawcui awhkaw iptih ak cei ben tloei ing myih hy.
16 He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith.
Cemyih a nu ak khoem taw khawhlii ak khoem ing myih nawh kut khanawh situi thloen ing myih hy.
17 Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.
Thii ing thii a hqaat sak amyihna thlang ing thlang hqaat sak hy.
18 Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.
Thai thing ak lingkung ing thai thaih ai kawm saw, a boei ak khuut taw kyihcahna awm kaw.
19 Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another.
Tuiawh mikhai ang dang amyihna thlang ak kawlung thlangawh dang hy.
Ceikhui ingkaw Abaddon ing a khoek sak ama awm amyihna thlanghqing mik ing a khoek sak qoe am ta hy. (Sheol h7585)
21 The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, and a man is measured by what he is praised for.
Cak am ing a caknaak dang sak nawh, mai ing a suinaak dang sak hy; Cemyih lawtna kyihcah-naak ing ak thlangnaak dang sak hy.
22 Even if a foolish man is crushed with a hammer in a vessel among crushed grain, still his foolish ways will not go from him.
Thlaqaw taw supkhai ing sumawh ni deeng seiawm ak qawnaak ce am khawng ti kaw.
23 Take care to have knowledge about the condition of your flocks, looking well after your herds;
Na tuukhqi ce ak leekna sim ham cai nawh nak khqinkhqi ce ak leekna khoem.
24 For wealth is not for ever, and money does not go on for all generations.
Khawhkhamkhqi ve kumqui ham am nawh, boei lumyk taw na cadil ham dyna cak poepa kaw.
25 The grass comes up and the young grass is seen, and the mountain plants are got in.
Saitlim aat usaw amah ing tawi tlaih tlaih nawh, tlang nakaw saitlim cun kawi uhy.
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the he-goats make the value of a field:
Na tuukhqi ce na suisak a ham, meekhqi ce na khawhyn phu hamna awm hy.
27 There will be goats' milk enough for your food, and for the support of your servant-girls.
Na imkhui cakaw ai a ham, na tamnaa nukhqi nam cahnaak ham mee suktui ing be ngen poepa kaw.
