Proverbs 28
1 The impious flees, though no one pursues. But the just, like a confident lion, shall be without dread.
Halang tah a hloem pawt akhaw rhaelrham khing. Tedae aka dueng tah sathueng bangla amah pangtung uh.
2 Because of the sins of the land, it has many princes. And because of the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the leader shall be prolonged.
Khohmuen kah boekoek dongah mangpa la yet dae, aka yakming hlang long tah a ming dongah a ram a pai sak.
3 A poor man slandering the poor is like a violent rainstorm in advance of a famine.
Hlang he khodaeng loh tattloel patoeng a hnaemtaek he khaw, khotlan loh bet a kawt tih buh a om pawt bangla om.
4 Those who abandon the law praise the impious. Those who guard it are inflamed against him.
Olkhueng aka hnoo rhoek loh halang te a thangthen uh. Tedae olkhueng aka tuem long tah amih te a huek.
5 Evil men do not intend judgment. But those who inquire after the Lord turn their souls toward all things.
Hlang thae rhoek loh tiktamnah te yakming uh pawt dae, BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek loh boeih a yakming uh.
6 Better is the pauper walking in his simplicity, than the rich walking in ways of depravity.
A thincaknah neh aka pongpa khodaeng he, longpuei kawnvoi dongkah hlanglen lakah then.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son. But whoever feeds gluttons brings shame to his father.
Olkhueng aka kueinah capa long tah a yakming dae, carhut neh aka luem loh a napa kah hmai a thae sak.
8 Whoever piles up riches by usury and profit gathers them for him who will give freely to the poor.
A casai a puehkan neh a boeirhaeng aka tom long khaw, tattloel aka rhen ham ni a puehkan la a coi pah coeng.
9 Whoever turns away his ears from listening to the law: his prayer will be detestable.
Olkhueng a yaak lalah a hna tlap tlap aka khong tah, a thangthuinah khaw tueilaehkoi la om.
10 Whoever deceives the just in a malicious way will fall into his own perdition. And the simple shall possess his goods.
Aka thuem te longpuei thae la aka palang sak tah cakhom ah amah lah cungku ni. Tedae cuemthuek rhoek long tah hnothen a pang uh ni.
11 The rich one seems wise to himself. But the poor one, being prudent, shall evaluate him.
Hlanglen pa he a mikhmuh ah amah aka cueih koek la ngai uh dae, tattloel long khaw aka yakming long tah anih te a khe.
12 In the exultation of the just, there is great glory. When the impious reign, men are brought to ruin.
Aka dueng rhoek a sundaep vaengah muep boeimang tangloeng dae, halang rhoek a thoh vaengah tah hlang loh a thuh tak.
13 Whoever hides his crimes will not be guided. But whoever will have confessed and abandoned them shall overtake mercy.
A boekoek aka phah he a thaihtak moenih. Tedae aka phoe tih aka hnoo tah a haidam.
14 Blessed is the man who is ever fearful. Yet truly, whoever is hardened in mind will fall into evil.
Aka rhih yoeyah hlang tah a yoethen dae, a lungbuei aka mangkhak loh boethae khuila cungku.
15 An impious leader over a poor people is like a roaring lion and a hungry bear.
Halang loh a taemrhai vaengah pilnam tattloel te sathueng bangla a nguel thil tih vom bangla cu.
16 A leader destitute of prudence will oppress many through false accusations. But whoever hates avarice shall prolong his days.
A lungcuei aka talh rhaengsang tah tlungalnah yet. Mueluemnah aka hmuhuet la aka hmuhuet tah a hinglung vang ni.
17 A man who slanders the blood of a life, even if he flees to the pit, no one will tolerate him.
Hinglu kah thii neh hlang aka hnaemtaek hlang tah vaam khuila rhaelrham cakhaw, anih te duel mahpawh.
18 Whoever walks simply shall be saved. Whoever is perverse in his steps will fall all at once.
Cuemthuek la aka pongpa tah daem tih, longpuei aka kawn sak tah vaikhat lam ni a cungku eh.
19 Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever pursues leisure will be filled with need.
Amah khohmuen aka tawn tah caak khaw kum ni. Tedae a hoenghoep bueng aka hloem tah khodaeng la hah ni.
20 A faithful man shall be greatly praised. But whoever rushes to become rich will not be innocent.
Uepomnah hlang kah yoethennah tah yet. Tedae boei hamla aka tanolh khaw hmil mahpawh.
21 Whoever shows favoritism in judgment does not do well; even if it is for a morsel of bread, he forsakes the truth.
Maelhmai a loha khaw then pawh. Tedae buh kamat dongah ni hlang loh boe a koek.
22 A man who hurries to become rich, and who envies others, does not know that destitution will overwhelm him.
Hlang moeithae loh boeirhaeng dongah ngawn tah hlawt let dae, vaitahnah loh anih a thoeng thil te ming pawh.
23 Whoever corrects a man, afterward he shall find favor with him, more so than he who deceives him with a flattering tongue.
Hlang aka tluung he a hnukah tah a lai aka hnal lakah, mikdaithen la om.
24 Whoever takes away anything from his father or mother, and who says, “This is not a sin,” is the associate of a murderer.
A manu neh a napa a rheth lalah boekoek pawt la aka thui tah, kut aka yook ham hlang kah a pueipo la om.
25 Whoever boasts and enlarges himself stirs up conflicts. Yet truly, whoever trusts in the Lord will be healed.
Mungkung kah hinglu long tah olpungkacan a huek. Tedae BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung ni a hoeikhang eh.
26 Whoever trusts in his own heart is a fool. But whoever treads wisely, the same shall be saved.
Amah kah lungbuei dongah aka pangtung tah amah te ang coeng. Tedae cueihnah dongah aka pongpa tah amah khaw hlawt uh.
27 Whoever gives to the poor shall not be in need. Whoever despises his petition will suffer scarcity.
Khodaeng taengah aka pae tah a tloelnah om pawh. Tedae a mik aka him tah tapvoepnah muep kum.
28 When the impious rise up, men will hide themselves. When they perish, the just shall be multiplied.
Halang rhoek a thoh vaengah hlang loh a thuh tak. Tedae a milh vaengah aka dueng rhoek khaw pul.
