Proverbs 12
1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.
Thuituennah aka lungnah loh mingnah khaw a lungnah tih, toelthamnah aka hmuhuet tah a kotalh.
2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
Hlang then loh BOEIPA taengkah kolonah a dang tih, tangkhuepnah aka khueh hlang tah a poehlip sak.
3 Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.
Halangnah lamloh hlang cikngae pawt tih, aka dueng kah a yung tah a tuen sak moenih.
4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.
Tatthai nu tah a boei kah rhuisam la om, tedae yah aka bai tah a rhuh khuiah keet la om.
5 The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
Aka dueng tah kopoek tiktam tih, halang kah a niing tah thailatnah la poeh.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.
Halang rhoek kah olka loh thii a rhongngol tih, aka thuem kah a ka loh hlang a huul.
7 Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.
Halang rhoek te a palet nen tah om uh voel pawh, tedae aka dueng rhoek kah im tah pai yoeyah.
8 A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
A lungmingnah olka dongah hlang loh a thangthen tih, lungbuei aka paihaeh tah nueihbu la poeh.
9 Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
Rhaidaeng mai cakhaw a taengah sal aka khueh tah, thangpom uh tih caak aka nai lakah then.
10 The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
Aka dueng long tah a rhamsa kah a hinglu te a ming dae, halang kah haidamnah tah muenying muenyang la om.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
Amah khohmuen aka tawn loh buh a cung sak tih, a lungbuei aka talh long tah a hoenghoep te a hloem.
12 The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
Boethae rhoek kah tluum te halang loh a nai dae, aka dueng rhoek kah a yung tah cuen yoeyah.
13 For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
Hmuilai kah boekoek dongah boethae kah hlaeh om dae, aka dueng tah citcai lamloh loeih.
14 By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
Hlang kah lai thaih loh hnothen a cung sak tih, hlang kut neh a tiing la amah taengah a mael rhoe, a mael pah.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.
Aka ang kah longpuei tah a mikhmuh ah thuem dae, aka cueih kah cilsuep te ni a hnatun.
16 A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
Aka ang loh khothaih ah a konoinah te a phoe dae, aka thaai loh yah koi te a dah.
17 He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
Uepomnah aka sat loh duengnah a thui tih, a honghi kah laipai tah hlangthai palat ni.
18 There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
cunghang kah tingtoehnah bangla aka cal buengrhuet khaw om dae, aka cueih kah a lai tah hoeihnah la om.
19 The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
Oltak kah hmuilai tah a yoeyah la cikngae tih, a honghi ol cat ka paa sak.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
Hlangthai palat loh a lungbuei khuikah boethae te a uep tih, rhoepnah ham aka uen loh kohoenah a dang.
21 Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
Aka dueng te boethae pakhat long khaw a cuhu thil moenih. Tedae halang rhoek tah boethae neh baetawt uh.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
A honghi kah hmuilai tah BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih uepomnah aka saii te a kolonah la a khueh.
23 A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
Aka thaai hlang long tah mingnah te a tuem tih, aka ang kah lungbuei long tah a anglat te a yan.
24 The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.
Aka haam kah kut loh a taemrhai vetih palyal te saldong la a om sak ni.
25 Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
Lungbuei kah mawnnah loh hlang a bungkawn tih, ol then loh ko a hoe sak.
26 He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.
Aka dueng long tah a hui te a tlap tih, halang rhoek kah longpuei tah amamih te kho a hmang puei.
27 The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.
Palyal loh a sakah pataeng a kaeh moenih, tedae hlang haam kah a boeirhaeng tah a phu tlo.
28 In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.
Duengnah caehlong ah hingnah om tih, a hawn longpuei khaw dueknah moenih.
