Proverbs 18
1 He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
Mihem ama changseh kikhoh sahpa chu ama dei lam jeng-ah akisalal jin, thildih lam ki manchahna jouse adoudal jin ahi.
2 A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
Mingol in thil hetthem'a lunglhai ding kiti anahsah pon, ama lung ngaichat jeng bou akhoh sah-jin ahi.
3 The wicked man when he is come into the depth of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.
Phatlouna ahung um teng, thangset nan ahin jui in, kijatona abei teng kimudana aum paijin ahi.
4 Words from the mouth of a men are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom as an overflowing stream.
Miching kamsunga kon hung potdoh thuchang hohi twithuh tobang ahin, chihna jong hi vadung tehliu'a twilong tobang ahi.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.
Miphalou maija langnei hi angaina ahipon, mikitah chungthu adih'a tan ding jong suh-noh phah lou ding ahi.
6 The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
Mingol thucheng hin mitoh kinahna ason, akamchenga kon in mol akisei doh bep jitai.
7 The mouth of a fool is his destruction: and his lips are the ruin of his soul.
Mingol kamcheng hi ama dinga amanthahna bep ahin, aleigui in ama le ama thangkol'a o-na ding akisemdoh bep ahi.
8 The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.
Aguh a thu poa pangpa thusei jihi, anneh tuitah tobang ahin, akamcheng sohdoh jouse jong mihem lungsunga alhalut paijin ahi.
9 He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works.
Atohna chunga mithase hi, mi manthah sahpa toh sopi ahi.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.
Yahweh Pakai minhi kulpi nasatah tobang ahin, hijeh chun mikitah in abel-jin hoidohnan aneiye.
11 The substance of the rich man is the city of his strength, and as a strong wall compassing him about.
Mihaopa nei le gou chu ama din kulpi dettah tobang ahin, akihuh hingna dinga pal kikai bep bep ahi.
12 Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
Mihem amanthah kon leh, kiletsah nan adim jin, koi hileh akineosa masa chan chu jabolna chang ding ahi.
13 He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.
Thil hetchet masanga donbut jeng chun, ngol-houi tah jumna ato tei ding ahi.
14 The spirit of a man upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear?
Mihem lhagao in dam-mona athoh jou in, hinlah lhagao adamlou teng thoh hahsa ding ahi.
15 A wise heart shall acquire knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh instruction.
Chihna lungthim neihon phat tin'in hetbe ding adei-jun, hijeh chun miching hon hetna mube ding ago jing un ahi.
16 A man’s gift enlargeth his may, and maketh him room before princes.
Mihem kiti hi athilpeh chun lampi agonpeh-ji ahin, hijeh chun milen milal henga jong apuilut jin ahi.
17 The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
Mihem khat'in achung thu akikhol masah teng, adih in akimu nan, akihehpi dingpa ahung lhun'a akikhol chaisoh teng, achung thu kiseipan bep ahi.
18 The lot suppresseth contentions, and determineth even between the mighty.
Vang vetna kiti hin baotamna abeisah jin, akidou teni kah'a jong thutan in apang e.
19 A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.
Sopi khat in asopi khat apanpi hi, kulpi dettah tobang ahin, hinlah kinahna aso teng khopi kelkot kikam chah kheh tobang ahi.
20 Of the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.
Mihem in kamngai vang in an-neh ding akimun, koi hileh akamcheng tohga ne chan chu alungkim in ahi.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
Kampao le leiguia kon in thi le hin akingam in, koi hileh adihlou'a thusei chan chun atohga aneh tei ding ahi.
22 He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked.
Pasal in numei ji-ding akimu teng, amapa chu anunnom ahin, ajeh chu Yahweh Pakaija kon lung lhaina chang ding ahitai.
23 The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
Mivaichan khotona angaichat teng atao jin, hinlah mihao'in kiletsah to thon thu asei-jin ahi.
24 A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.
Gol le pai kiti hi apha-lhem manthahna thei jong aum in, hinlah gol le pai abang chu penpi tahbeh sopi sanga kinaipi jong aum in ahi.
