Proverbs 29
1 A man hating sharp words and making his heart hard, will suddenly be broken and will not be made well again.
Toelthamnah a om lalah a rhawn aka mangkhak sak hlang tah hoeihnah om kolla pahoi khaem ni.
2 When the upright have power, the people are glad; when an evil man is ruler, grief comes on the people.
Hlang dueng a pul vaengah pilnam a kohoe. Tedae halang loh a taemrhai vaengah pilnam huei.
3 A man who is a lover of wisdom is a joy to his father: but he who goes in the company of loose women is a waster of wealth.
Cueihnah aka lungnah hlang loh a napa ko a hoe sak. Tedae pumyoi neh aka luem loh boeirhaeng khaw a milh sak.
4 A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste.
Tiktamnah dongah ni manghai loh khohmuen a pai sak. Tedae kapbaih aka ca hlang loh khohmuen a koengloeng.
5 A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps.
A hui taengah aka hoem hlang khaw amah khokan dongah ni lawk a tung coeng.
6 In the steps of an evil man there is a net for him, but the upright man gets away quickly and is glad.
Hlang boethae loh boekoeknah neh hlaeh a tung. Tedae aka dueng tah tamhoe tih a kohoe.
7 The upright man gives attention to the cause of the poor: the evil-doer gives no thought to it.
Aka dueng long tah tattloel kah dumlai a ming pah. Halang long tah mingnah pataeng a yakming moenih.
8 Men of pride are the cause of violent acts in a town, but by wise men wrath is turned away.
Saipaat hlang rhoek loh khorha a sat. Tedae hlang cueih rhoek long tah thintoek pataeng a dolh.
9 If a wise man goes to law with a foolish man, he may be angry or laughing, but there will be no rest.
Hlang cueih loh hlang ang taengah lai a thui. Tedae a tlai phoeiah tah luem puei cakhaw mongnah om mahpawh.
10 Men of blood are haters of the good man, and evil-doers go after his soul.
Thii aka hal hlang rhoek loh cuemthuek te a hmuhuet uh. Tedae aka thuem rhoek long tah a hinglu a toem pah.
11 A foolish man lets out all his wrath, but a wise man keeps it back quietly.
Aka ang loh a mueihla khaw boeih a poh. Tedae aka cueih long tah a hnuk ah domyok a ti.
12 If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers.
A hong ol aka hnatung loh a taemrhai vaengah, a bibi rhoek khaw boeih halang uh.
13 The poor man and his creditor come face to face: the Lord gives light to their eyes equally.
Khodaeng neh hlang kah a hnaephnapnah a humcui rhoi vaengah, BOEIPA loh a boktlap la mik a tueng sak.
14 The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power.
A ngolkhoel cikngae yoeyah sak ham atah, tattloel ham khaw manghai loh oltak neh lai a tloek pah.
15 The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.
Cungcik neh toelthamnah loh cueihnah a paek. Tedae a hlahpham camoe loh a manu yah a bai.
16 When evil men are in power, wrongdoing is increased; but the upright will have pleasure when they see their downfall.
Halang rhoek a pul vaengah boekoek khaw pul. Tedae aka dueng long tah amih a cungkunah lam ni a. hmuh eh.
17 Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul.
Na capa te toel lamtah na duem bitni. Na hinglu ham khaw buhmong m'paek ni.
18 Where there is no vision, the people are uncontrolled; but he who keeps the law will be happy.
Mangthui a om pawt atah pilnam khaw pam. Tedae olkhueng aka ngaithuen tah a yoethen pai.
19 A servant will not be trained by words; for though the sense of the words is clear to him, he will not give attention.
Ol bueng neh sal a toel thai moenih. Yakming cakhaw hlat hae mahpawh.
20 Have you seen a man who is quick with his tongue? There is more hope for a foolish man than for him.
A ol neh aka cahawt hlang khaw na hmuh coeng. Anih lakah hlang ang taengah ngaiuepnah om ngai.
21 If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end.
A sal te a camoe lamloh aka dom tah, a hmailong ah khoemtloel la a coeng pah ni.
22 An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong.
Thintoek hlang loh olpungkacan a huek tih, kosi boei khaw boekoek la muep om.
23 A man's pride will be the cause of his fall, but he who has a gentle spirit will get honour.
Hlang kah a hoemnah loh amah a kunyun sak. Te dongah a mueihla tlarhoel tah thangpomnah loh a moem.
24 A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing.
Hlanghuen taengah boe aka soep tah, a hinglu ni a. hmuhuet coeng. Thaephoeinah ya cakhaw, thui thai mahpawh.
25 The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.
Hlang kah thuennah loh hlaeh ni a. tung eh. Tedae BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung tah sueng.
26 The approval of a ruler is desired by great numbers: but the decision in a man's cause comes from the Lord.
Aka taemrhai kah maelhmai khaw muep a tlap uh. Tedae hlang taengkah laitloeknah tah BOEIPA hut ni.
27 An evil man is disgusting to the upright, and he who is upright is disgusting to evil-doers.
Hlang dueng long tah dumlai te tueilaehkoi a ti. Tedae halang long tah longpuei aka thuem te tueilaehkoi a ti van.
