Proverbs 16
1 The purposes of the heart are of man, but the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.
Mihem in alung sunga tohgon anei jin, kam kilhang sel'a thu kisei jong Yahweh Pakai in adonbut teijin ahi.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Jehovah weigheth the spirits.

5 Every proud heart is an abomination to Jehovah: hand for hand, he shall not be held innocent.
Yahweh Pakai in mikiletsah kiti athet in, hijeh chun hethem un, amaho chu gotna chang tei diu ahi.
6 By loving-kindness and truth iniquity is atoned for; and by the fear of Jehovah [men] depart from evil.
Tahsan theija chonna le kitahna hin, themmona jeng jong adihsah in, Yahweh Pakai ginna jeh'in mihem in thilphalou apeldoh thei jin ahi.
7 When a man's ways please Jehovah, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Mihem chu achena lam jouse Yahweh Pakai lungdei ahitengleh, Yahweh Pakai in ama chu amelmate toh jong akichamsah jitai.
8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues without right.
Thildihlou pum'a kai-tampi kidon khom sang in, thildih'a lhomcha nei ding aphajoi.
9 The heart of man deviseth his way, but Jehovah directeth his steps.
Mihem in alung in chena ding lampi akisem in, Yahweh Pakai in achena ding lam ako-peh jin ahi.
10 An oracle is on the lips of the king: his mouth will not err in judgment.

11 The just balance and scales are Jehovah's; all the weights of the bag are his work.
Yahweh Pakai in thil adih in atetoh jin, hijeh chun thil ijakai Yahweh Pakai in atetohsa jeng ahi.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; for the throne is established by righteousness.

15 In the light of the king's countenance is life, and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
Lengpa mailhai sel'a aum teng, damna akibe jin, lengpa lunglhaina jong hi, go hung phin lhaji meilhang tobang ahi.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than fine gold, and the getting of intelligence to be preferred to silver!

17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that taketh heed to his way keepeth his soul.
Michondih chu thilse lam'a kon'in akiheidoh jin, achena tinchenga limgehpa chu kihinso teiding ahi.

21 The wise in heart is called intelligent, and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Mi-lungchingpa chu thil hethemmi kiti ding, chule lunglhaina'a thuseipan mi athujo tei ding ahi.
22 Wisdom is a fountain of life for him that hath it; but the instruction of fools is folly.
Chihna nei mi chu hinna twinah tobang ahin, mingol ho ngolna hi talen matna bep ahi.
23 The heart of the wise maketh his mouth intelligent, and upon his lips increaseth learning.
Miching lung sunga kon chihna thucheng hungpot chan chu, Dan toh akikal jipon, akamcheng soh jouse chu mi thununna ahibouve.
24 Pleasant words are [as] a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health for the bones.
Ngailutna'a thu kisei hi khoiju tobang ahin, lhagao le tahsa ding in antuitah damna ahi.

29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into a way that is not good.
Pumthoa natong hon aheng akom jeng jong atilseu-vin, chuting aheng akompa jong lamdih-lou alhung jitai.
30 He that shutteth his eyes, [it is] to devise froward things; biting his lips, he bringeth evil to pass.
Koi hileh mit teni-singa phetsah jichun, thilpha lou jeng angaiton, muh phunsah sah pan jong thilphalou abolsoh ahita bouve.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, [if] it is found in the way of righteousness.
Sam-kang liuva hinna hi, loupina lallukhuh ahin, adih jenga hinkho akiman teng, hitobanga hi hinkhosot thei ahibouve.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Ki hatsah sang in thohhat tah'a lungneng apha jon, alungput athua nunsah joupa chu, khopi khat nokhum'a kilah sang in aphachom joi.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole decision is of Jehovah.
