Proverbs 12
1 Whoso loveth discipline loveth knowledge, but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Toelthamnaak ak lungnaak ing simnaak ce lungna nawh, zyihtoelnaak ak sawhnaak taw qamsa ing myih hy.
2 A good [man] obtaineth favour of Jehovah; but a man of mischievous devices will he condemn.
Thlakdyng ing Bawipa kawzeelnaak hu nawh, theem amak leek ak sai ing Bawipa kawsonaak zaawk kaw.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
Thlanghqing ve seet sainaak ing am cak sak nawh, thlakdyng ang dyih hyn taw cak kaw.
4 A woman of worth is a crown to her husband; but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in 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 righteous are right; the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
Thlakdyng ak khawpoeknaak taw leek nawh, thlakche ak khawpoeknaak taw thailatnaak ni.
6 The words of the wicked are a lying-in-wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
Thlakche ak awi ing thlang thi ang lawng hly qeh nawh, thlakdyng ak awi ingtaw amah loet sak hy.
7 Overthrow the wicked, and they are no [more]; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
Khawsak amak leekkhqi taw khaawngna awm kawm saw qeeng kawm uh, thlakdyng a ipkhui taw ak cakna dyi poe kaw.
8 A man is commended according to his wisdom; but he that is of a perverted heart shall be despised.
Thlang a cyihtaak amyihna kyihcahna awm kawm saw, kawpoek amak leek thlang taw thlang ing hep kaw.
9 Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
Kawpoek saang toen nawh aikawi amak ta ang lakawh, kawpoek neem nawh ikawm amak ta tamnaa taak ve leek ngai hy.
10 A righteous man is concerned for the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
Thladyng ingtaw a qamsaa ai kawi ce poek nawh, cehlai, thlakqaw am qeennaak ak saang soeih taw thekhanaak ni.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless is void of understanding.
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 wicked desireth the net of evil [men]; but the root of the righteous yieldeth [fruit].
Khawsak amak leekkhqi ing thlakchekhqi a lawk nai unawh, thlakdyngkhqi a zung taw cak poepa hy.
13 In the transgression of the lips is an evil snare; but a righteous [man] shall go forth out of trouble.
Thlangthawlh taw amah ak awi awh aawk nawh, thlakdyng taw kyinaak awhkawng loet kaw.
14 A man is satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
Thlang am lai thaih ing themleek bee sak nawh, amah a bii phu ing ak tingna pekna awm kaw.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
Thlakqaw ing amah mik huhawh a lam thyym sak hy, cehlai thlakcyi ingtaw thlak awi ngai hy.
16 The vexation of the fool is presently known; but a prudent [man] covereth shame.
Thlakqaw ing ak kawsonaak pho sak pahoei nawh, thlakcyi ingtaw chah kawi ce thuhphah hy.
17 He that uttereth truth sheweth forth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
Awihthyym ak kqawn ing ypawmnaak dang sak nawh, amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw thlangthai palat ni.
18 There is that babbleth like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
Poek kaana awi tinaak ing cimcamyihna thlang sun nawh, thlakcyi ak awi ing thlang qoei sak hy.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
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 them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
Them amak leek ak poekkhqi kawlungawh thailatnaak awm nawh, qoepnaak ak sai khqi hamna taw zeelmangnaak ni.
21 There shall no evil happen to a righteous [man]; but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
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 Jehovah; but they that deal truly are his delight.
Qaai ak kqawn am lai taw Bawipa ing sawh na nawh, ak thyymna ak khawsakhqi taw Bawipa ing ym khqi hy.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of the foolish proclaimeth folly.
Thlakcyi ing cyihnaak thuh nawh. Thlakqaw kawlung ingtaw qawnaak dang sak hy.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful [hand] shall be under tribute.
Thlak meetkhqi kut ing thlang uk kawm saw, thlang thakdamkhqi taw tamnaa bibinaak ing dyt kaw.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop; but a good word maketh it glad.
Lyynaak kawlung ing thlang patang sak nawh, awih leek ing thlang awmhly sak hy.
26 The righteous guideth his neighbour; but the way of the wicked misleadeth them.
Thlakdyng taw a imceng ham hquikungna awm nawh, khawsak amak leekkhqi ing kqeeng-naak pha sak hy.
27 The slothful roasteth not what he took in hunting; but man's precious substance is to the diligent.
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 righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
Dyngnaak lamawh hqingnaak awm nawh, ce lamawh thihnaak am awm hy.
