Proverbs 15
1 A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.
Lawkkanem ni lungkhueknae a roum sak, hatei lawkkahram ni lungkhueknae a pâhlaw.
2 The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.
Tamilungkaang e lai ni teh, panuenae hah kalan lah ouk a hno, hatei tamipathu ni teh pathunae hah a pahni dawk hoi ouk a tâco sak.
3 The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.
BAWIPA e mit teh hmuen tangkuem a kâhlai teh hnokahawi hoi hnokathout hah ouk a khet.
4 A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
A tak ka dam e lai teh hringnae thingkung doeh, hatei lawkkahram ni teh lung a mathoe sak.
5 A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
Tamipathu ni a na pa e cangkhainae hah banglah ngâi hoeh, hatei yuenae ka tarawi e tami teh kho ka pouk thai e doeh.
6 The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
Tamikalan im vah hnopai moikapap ao teh, tamikathout ni a hmu e teh rucatnae hah doeh.
7 The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
Tamilungkaang e pahni ni teh panuenae a pung sak, hatei tamipathu e lungthin ni teh hottelah sak boihoeh.
8 The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
Tamikathout ni thueng e teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho, hatei tamikalan ni ratoum e teh a lunghawinae doeh.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
Tamikathout hringnuen teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho, hatei lannae katarawinaw hah teh a lung a pataw.
10 Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
Lam kalan kaphennaw teh puenghoi yue lah ao teh, yuenae kahmuhmanaw teh a due han.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
Sheol hoi rawkphainae teh BAWIPA hmalah a kamnue, tami canaw e lungthin teh hoe a kamnue han. (Sheol h7585)
12 A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
Ka dudam e tami teh yuenae ngai hoeh, tamilungkaang koehai cet ngai hoeh.
13 A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief of mind the spirit is cast down.
Lungthin nawmnae ni minhmai a pan sak teh, lungreithainae teh lungreknae doeh.
14 The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Thaipanueknae lungthin ka tawn e ni panuenae ouk a tawng, hatei tamipathu ni teh pathunae lawk hoi ouk a kâkawk.
15 All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.
Runae kâhmo e tami hanelah teh hnin pueng kathout seng doeh, hatei lungthin kanawm e ni teh pawi pou tonae lah ao.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,
BAWIPA taki laihoi younca tawn e teh baruengbaraw o laihoi moikapap tawn e hlak a hawihnawn.
17 It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
Lungpatawnae lahoi ankahring hoi vai touh ca e teh, kâhmuhmanae koe maito buem pui ca e hlak ahawihnawn.
18 A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient appeaseth those that are stirred up.
Tami lungkathout ni kâyuenae a tâcokhai, hatei ka panguep thai e ni teh a roum sak.
19 The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.
Kapangaknaw e lamthung teh pâkhing hoi khak a cak, hatei tamikalannaw e lamthung teh a ngaca.
20 A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.
Capa a lungkaang ni teh a na pa a konawm sak, ka pathu e ni teh a manu a dumdam.
21 Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.
Lungangnae ka tawn hoeh e naw niteh pathunae heh a lunghawinae lah a o, hatei thaipanueknae katawnnaw teh kalancalah ouk a cei awh.
22 Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.
Kâpankhainae awm hoeh pawiteh noenae hai kangcoung thai hoeh, hatei kâpankhaikung pap pawiteh noenae a kangcoung.
23 A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.
Pahni hoi dei e lawk ni lunghawinae a tâco sak, a tue a pha torei dei e lawk teh ahawi poung.
Tamilungkaangnaw e hringnae lamthung teh kahlun lah a luen, hothateh rahim lae sheol lam dawk hoi a kamlang thainae doeh. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.
BAWIPA ni tami kâoupnaw e im hah a raphoe pouh han, hatei lahmainu imhmuen teh a caksak han.
26 Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
Tamikathoutnaw e pouknae teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho, hatei a lung kathoungnaw lawk teh thai a nawm.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.
Ka hounloun e ni ama imthung totouh runae a poe, hatei tadawnghno ka hmuhma e teh a hring han.
28 The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
Tamikalan lungthin ni teh pato nahane hmaloe a kamtu, hatei tamikathout e pahni ni teh hnokathout ouk a tâco sak.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.
BAWIPA teh tamikathout koehoi ahla, hatei tamikalan e ratoumnae teh ouk a thai.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.
Lunghawinae minhmai ni lungthin a nawm sak teh, kamthang kahawi teh hru hanelah hawinae lah ao.
31 The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.
Hring tounnae ka tarawi e tami teh tamilungkaangnaw koe pouh ao han.
32 He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
Cangkhainae banglah ka pouk hoeh e tami teh amae hringnae banglah ka pouk hoeh e tami doeh, hatei yuenae alawkpui lah ka pouk e ni thaipanueknae a hmu.
33 The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
BAWIPA takinae teh lungangnae cangkhainae lah o teh, barinae ao hoehnahlan kârahnoumnae hmaloe ao.
