Proverbs 28
1 The ungodly [man] flees when no one pursues: but the righteous is confident as a lion.
Migilou chu koima dellou in ajam jin, mikitah vang chu keipi bahkai bang in hangtah in apang jin ahi.
2 By reason of the sins of ungodly men quarrels arise; but a wise man will quell them.
Namkhat in suhkhel anei tengleh achunga thunei ding atam jin, hinlah namsung dinsotna ding hin, miching hetkhen themna nei angaije.
3 A bold man oppresses the poor by ungodly deeds. As an impetuous and profitable rain,
Miphalou vaichate gim le hesoh thohsahpa chu, gobah julha tobang ahin, khenchom aneiji poi.
4 so they that forsake the law praise ungodliness; but they that love the law fortify themselves with a wall.
