Proverbs 12
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. But whoever hates correction is unwise.
Toelthamnaak ak lungnaak ing simnaak ce lungna nawh, zyihtoelnaak ak sawhnaak taw qamsa ing myih hy.
2 Whoever is good shall draw grace from the Lord. But whoever trusts in his own thoughts acts impiously.
Thlakdyng ing Bawipa kawzeelnaak hu nawh, theem amak leek ak sai ing Bawipa kawsonaak zaawk kaw.
3 Man will not be made strong from impiety. And the root of the just shall not be moved.
Thlanghqing ve seet sainaak ing am cak sak nawh, thlakdyng ang dyih hyn taw cak kaw.
4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband. And she who acts with confusion as to which things are worthy is decay to his bones.
Khawsak ak leek nu taw a vaa ham boei lumykna awm nawh, chahnaak kawi theem ak saipyi taw a vaa quh ak haawn sak ni.
5 The thoughts of the just are judgments. And the counsels of the impious are dishonest.
Thlakdyng ak khawpoeknaak taw leek nawh, thlakche ak khawpoeknaak taw thailatnaak ni.
6 The words of the impious lie in wait for blood. The mouth of the just shall free them.
Thlakche ak awi ing thlang thi ang lawng hly qeh nawh, thlakdyng ak awi ingtaw amah loet sak hy.
7 Turn from the impious, and they will not be. But the house of the just shall stand firm.
Khawsak amak leekkhqi taw khaawngna awm kawm saw qeeng kawm uh, thlakdyng a ipkhui taw ak cakna dyi poe kaw.
8 A man will be known by his doctrine. But whoever is vain and heartless will suffer contempt.
Thlang a cyihtaak amyihna kyihcahna awm kawm saw, kawpoek amak leek thlang taw thlang ing hep kaw.
9 Better is a pauper who has what he needs, than someone glorious and in need of bread.
Kawpoek saang toen nawh aikawi amak ta ang lakawh, kawpoek neem nawh ikawm amak ta tamnaa taak ve leek ngai hy.
10 The just one knows the lives of his beasts. But the inner most parts of the impious are cruel.
Thladyng ingtaw a qamsaa ai kawi ce poek nawh, cehlai, thlakqaw am qeennaak ak saang soeih taw thekhanaak ni.
11 Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever continually pursues leisure is most foolish. Whoever is soothed by lingering over wine leaves behind contempt in his strongholds.
A lo awh bi ak bii thlang ingtaw ai kawi khawzah ta nawh, a naawmnaak ak sui thlang ingtaw cyihnaak am ta hy.
12 The desire of the impious is the fortification of what is most wicked. But the root of the just shall prosper.
Khawsak amak leekkhqi ing thlakchekhqi a lawk nai unawh, thlakdyngkhqi a zung taw cak poepa hy.
13 For the sins of the lips draw ruin to the evil. But the just shall escape from distress.
Thlangthawlh taw amah ak awi awh aawk nawh, thlakdyng taw kyinaak awhkawng loet kaw.
14 By the fruit of his own mouth, each one shall be filled with good things, and according to the works of his own hands, it will be distributed to him.
Thlang am lai thaih ing themleek bee sak nawh, amah a bii phu ing ak tingna pekna awm kaw.
15 The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes. But whoever is wise listens to counsels.
Thlakqaw ing amah mik huhawh a lam thyym sak hy, cehlai thlakcyi ingtaw thlak awi ngai hy.
16 The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.
Thlakqaw ing ak kawsonaak pho sak pahoei nawh, thlakcyi ingtaw chah kawi ce thuhphah hy.
17 He is a sign of justice, who speaks what he knows. But whoever deceives is a dishonest witness.
Awihthyym ak kqawn ing ypawmnaak dang sak nawh, amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw thlangthai palat ni.
18 He who makes promises is also jabbed, as if with a sword, in conscience. But the tongue of the wise is reasonable.
Poek kaana awi tinaak ing cimcamyihna thlang sun nawh, thlakcyi ak awi ing thlang qoei sak hy.
19 The lips of truth shall be steadfast forever. But a hasty witness readies a lying tongue.
Hui ak thyym taw kumquina cak sakna awm kawm saw, qaai awi kqawn taw kawlhkalh ca ham ni.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evils. But gladness follows those who take up counsels of peace.
Them amak leek ak poekkhqi kawlungawh thailatnaak awm nawh, qoepnaak ak sai khqi hamna taw zeelmangnaak ni.
21 Whatever may befall the just, it will not discourage him. But the impious will be filled with disasters.
Thlakdyng ak khanawh amak leek them ing am pha kawm saw, khawsak amak leekkhqi cetaw amak leek them ingawh bee kawm uh.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. But whoever acts faithfully pleases him.
Qaai ak kqawn am lai taw Bawipa ing sawh na nawh, ak thyymna ak khawsakhqi taw Bawipa ing ym khqi hy.
23 A resourceful man conceals knowledge. And the heart of the unwise provokes foolishness.
Thlakcyi ing cyihnaak thuh nawh. Thlakqaw kawlung ingtaw qawnaak dang sak hy.
24 The hand of the strong will rule. But anyone who is neglectful will pay tribute.
Thlak meetkhqi kut ing thlang uk kawm saw, thlang thakdamkhqi taw tamnaa bibinaak ing dyt kaw.
25 Grief in the heart of a man humbles him. And with a good word he shall be made glad.
Lyynaak kawlung ing thlang patang sak nawh, awih leek ing thlang awmhly sak hy.
26 He who ignores a loss for the sake of a friend is just. But the way of the impious will deceive them.
Thlakdyng taw a imceng ham hquikungna awm nawh, khawsak amak leekkhqi ing kqeeng-naak pha sak hy.
27 The dishonest will not discover gain. But the substance of a man will be like precious gold.
Thaa ak ngak ing a qamsaa kah saa am keuh hy, cehlai thaa ak meet ing a taak khawh khui awhkaw lo nawh thlang pe hy.
28 In the path of justice, there is life. But the devious way leads to death.
Dyngnaak lamawh hqingnaak awm nawh, ce lamawh thihnaak am awm hy.
