Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Halang tah a hloem pawt akhaw rhaelrham khing. Tedae aka dueng tah sathueng bangla amah pangtung uh.
2 By the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; but by a man of understanding [and] of knowledge, [its] stability is 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 who oppresseth the helpless is a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
Hlang he khodaeng loh tattloel patoeng a hnaemtaek he khaw, khotlan loh bet a kawt tih buh a om pawt bangla om.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.
Olkhueng aka hnoo rhoek loh halang te a thangthen uh. Tedae olkhueng aka tuem long tah amih te a huek.
5 Evil men understand not judgment; but they that seek Jehovah understand everything.
Hlang thae rhoek loh tiktamnah te yakming uh pawt dae, BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek loh boeih a yakming uh.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse, double in ways, though he be rich.
A thincaknah neh aka pongpa khodaeng he, longpuei kawnvoi dongkah hlanglen lakah then.
7 Whoso observeth the law is a son that hath understanding; but he that is a companion of profligates bringeth 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 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance gathereth it for him that is gracious 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 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
Olkhueng a yaak lalah a hna tlap tlap aka khong tah, a thangthuinah khaw tueilaehkoi la om.
10 Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, shall himself fall into his own pit; but the perfect shall inherit good.
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 A rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
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 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men conceal themselves.
Aka dueng rhoek a sundaep vaengah muep boeimang tangloeng dae, halang rhoek a thoh vaengah tah hlang loh a thuh tak.
13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall obtain mercy.
A boekoek aka phah he a thaihtak moenih. Tedae aka phoe tih aka hnoo tah a haidam.
14 Happy is the man that feareth always; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.
Aka rhih yoeyah hlang tah a yoethen dae, a lungbuei aka mangkhak loh boethae khuila cungku.
15 A roaring lion, and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
Halang loh a taemrhai vaengah pilnam tattloel te sathueng bangla a nguel thil tih vom bangla cu.
16 The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness 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 laden with the blood of [any] person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.
Hinglu kah thii neh hlang aka hnaemtaek hlang tah vaam khuila rhaelrham cakhaw, anih te duel mahpawh.
18 Whoso walketh in integrity shall be saved; but he that is perverted in [his] double ways, shall fall in one [of them].
Cuemthuek la aka pongpa tah daem tih, longpuei aka kawn sak tah vaikhat lam ni a cungku eh.
19 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless shall have poverty enough.
Amah khohmuen aka tawn tah caak khaw kum ni. Tedae a hoenghoep bueng aka hloem tah khodaeng la hah ni.
20 A faithful man aboundeth with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
Uepomnah hlang kah yoethennah tah yet. Tedae boei hamla aka tanolh khaw hmil mahpawh.
21 To have respect of persons is not good; but for a piece of bread will a man transgress.
Maelhmai a loha khaw then pawh. Tedae buh kamat dongah ni hlang loh boe a koek.
22 He that hath an evil eye hasteth after wealth, and knoweth not that poverty shall come upon him.
Hlang moeithae loh boeirhaeng dongah ngawn tah hlawt let dae, vaitahnah loh anih a thoeng thil te ming pawh.
23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
Hlang aka tluung he a hnukah tah a lai aka hnal lakah, mikdaithen la om.
24 Whoso robbeth his father and his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, the same is the companion of a destroyer.
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 He that is puffed up in soul exciteth contention; but he that relieth upon Jehovah shall be made fat.
Mungkung kah hinglu long tah olpungkacan a huek. Tedae BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung ni a hoeikhang eh.
26 He that confideth in his own heart is a fool; but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
Amah kah lungbuei dongah aka pangtung tah amah te ang coeng. Tedae cueihnah dongah aka pongpa tah amah khaw hlawt uh.
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that withdraweth his eyes shall have many a curse.
Khodaeng taengah aka pae tah a tloelnah om pawh. Tedae a mik aka him tah tapvoepnah muep kum.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Halang rhoek a thoh vaengah hlang loh a thuh tak. Tedae a milh vaengah aka dueng rhoek khaw pul.
