Proverbs 15
1 A mild response shatters anger. But a harsh word stirs up fury.
Lawkkanem ni lungkhueknae a roum sak, hatei lawkkahram ni lungkhueknae a pâhlaw.
2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge. But the mouth of the senseless gushes with foolishness.
Tamilungkaang e lai ni teh, panuenae hah kalan lah ouk a hno, hatei tamipathu ni teh pathunae hah a pahni dawk hoi ouk a tâco sak.
3 In every place, the eyes of the Lord consider good and evil.
BAWIPA e mit teh hmuen tangkuem a kâhlai teh hnokahawi hoi hnokathout hah ouk a khet.
4 A peaceful tongue is a tree of life. But that which is immoderate will crush the spirit.
A tak ka dam e lai teh hringnae thingkung doeh, hatei lawkkahram ni teh lung a mathoe sak.
5 A fool laughs at the discipline of his father. But whoever preserves rebukes will become astute. In abundant justice, there is very great virtue. But the intentions of the impious will be eradicated.
Tamipathu ni a na pa e cangkhainae hah banglah ngâi hoeh, hatei yuenae ka tarawi e tami teh kho ka pouk thai e doeh.
6 The house of the just has very great strength. And in the fruits of the impious, there is disorder.
Tamikalan im vah hnopai moikapap ao teh, tamikathout ni a hmu e teh rucatnae hah doeh.
7 The lips of the wise shall disseminate knowledge. The heart of the foolish will be dissimilar.
Tamilungkaang e pahni ni teh panuenae a pung sak, hatei tamipathu e lungthin ni teh hottelah sak boihoeh.
8 The sacrifices of the impious are abominable to the Lord. The vows of the just are appeasing.
Tamikathout ni thueng e teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho, hatei tamikalan ni ratoum e teh a lunghawinae doeh.
9 The way of the impious is an abomination to the Lord. Whoever pursues justice is loved by him.
Tamikathout hringnuen teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho, hatei lannae katarawinaw hah teh a lung a pataw.
10 Doctrine is evil to those who abandon the way of life. Whoever hates correction shall die.
Lam kalan kaphennaw teh puenghoi yue lah ao teh, yuenae kahmuhmanaw teh a due han.
11 Hell and perdition are in the sight of the Lord. How much more the hearts of the sons of men! (Sheol h7585)
Sheol hoi rawkphainae teh BAWIPA hmalah a kamnue, tami canaw e lungthin teh hoe a kamnue han. (Sheol h7585)
12 He who corrupts himself does not love the one who afflicts him, nor will he step toward the wise.
Ka dudam e tami teh yuenae ngai hoeh, tamilungkaang koehai cet ngai hoeh.
13 A rejoicing heart gladdens the face. But by the grief of the soul, the spirit is cast down.
Lungthin nawmnae ni minhmai a pan sak teh, lungreithainae teh lungreknae doeh.
14 The heart of the wise seeks doctrine. And the mouth of the foolish feeds on ignorance.
Thaipanueknae lungthin ka tawn e ni panuenae ouk a tawng, hatei tamipathu ni teh pathunae lawk hoi ouk a kâkawk.
15 All the days of the poor are evil. A secure mind is like a continual feast.
Runae kâhmo e tami hanelah teh hnin pueng kathout seng doeh, hatei lungthin kanawm e ni teh pawi pou tonae lah ao.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures and dissatisfaction.
BAWIPA taki laihoi younca tawn e teh baruengbaraw o laihoi moikapap tawn e hlak a hawihnawn.
17 It is better to be called to vegetables with charity, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
Lungpatawnae lahoi ankahring hoi vai touh ca e teh, kâhmuhmanae koe maito buem pui ca e hlak ahawihnawn.
18 A short-tempered man provokes conflicts. Whoever is patient tempers those who are stirred up.
Tami lungkathout ni kâyuenae a tâcokhai, hatei ka panguep thai e ni teh a roum sak.
19 The way of the slothful is like a hedge of thorns. The way of the just is without offense.
Kapangaknaw e lamthung teh pâkhing hoi khak a cak, hatei tamikalannaw e lamthung teh a ngaca.
20 A wise son gladdens the father. But the foolish man despises his mother.
Capa a lungkaang ni teh a na pa a konawm sak, ka pathu e ni teh a manu a dumdam.
21 Folly is gladness to the foolish. And the prudent man sets his own steps in order.
Lungangnae ka tawn hoeh e naw niteh pathunae heh a lunghawinae lah a o, hatei thaipanueknae katawnnaw teh kalancalah ouk a cei awh.
22 Intentions dissipate where there is no counsel. Yet truly, they are confirmed where there are many counselors.
Kâpankhainae awm hoeh pawiteh noenae hai kangcoung thai hoeh, hatei kâpankhaikung pap pawiteh noenae a kangcoung.
23 A man rejoices in the verdict of his own mouth. And a word at the right time is best.
Pahni hoi dei e lawk ni lunghawinae a tâco sak, a tue a pha torei dei e lawk teh ahawi poung.
24 The path of life is for the wise above, so that he may turn away from the end of Hell. (Sheol h7585)
Tamilungkaangnaw e hringnae lamthung teh kahlun lah a luen, hothateh rahim lae sheol lam dawk hoi a kamlang thainae doeh. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord will demolish the house of the arrogant. And He will make firm the borders of the widow.
BAWIPA ni tami kâoupnaw e im hah a raphoe pouh han, hatei lahmainu imhmuen teh a caksak han.
26 Evil intentions are an abomination to the Lord. And pure conversation, most beautiful, shall be confirmed by him.
Tamikathoutnaw e pouknae teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho, hatei a lung kathoungnaw lawk teh thai a nawm.
27 Whoever pursues avarice disturbs his own house. But whoever hates bribes shall live. Through mercy and faith, sins are purged. But through the fear of the Lord, each one turns aside from evil.
Ka hounloun e ni ama imthung totouh runae a poe, hatei tadawnghno ka hmuhma e teh a hring han.
28 The mind of the just meditates on obedience. The mouth of the impious overflows with evils.
Tamikalan lungthin ni teh pato nahane hmaloe a kamtu, hatei tamikathout e pahni ni teh hnokathout ouk a tâco sak.
29 The Lord is distant from the impious. And he will heed the prayers of the just.
BAWIPA teh tamikathout koehoi ahla, hatei tamikalan e ratoumnae teh ouk a thai.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the soul. A good reputation fattens the bones.
Lunghawinae minhmai ni lungthin a nawm sak teh, kamthang kahawi teh hru hanelah hawinae lah ao.
31 The ear that listens to the reproofs of life shall abide in the midst of the wise.
Hring tounnae ka tarawi e tami teh tamilungkaangnaw koe pouh ao han.
32 Whoever rejects discipline despises his own soul. But whoever agrees to correction is a possessor of the heart.
Cangkhainae banglah ka pouk hoeh e tami teh amae hringnae banglah ka pouk hoeh e tami doeh, hatei yuenae alawkpui lah ka pouk e ni thaipanueknae a hmu.
33 The fear of the Lord is the discipline of wisdom. And humility precedes glory.
BAWIPA takinae teh lungangnae cangkhainae lah o teh, barinae ao hoehnahlan kârahnoumnae hmaloe ao.
