Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
Thailatnaak awi ak kqawn thlakqawna awm anglakawh thlak khawdeng, kawpoek leek ak toen na awm leek bet hy.
2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
Simnaak kaana ngaihnaak doeng awm am leek nawh, khawng khaam tawn aih awm tlunknaak ni.
3 The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
Thlakqaw a qawnaak ing a lam seet sak nawh, Khawsa awh ak kaw vuung sak hy.
4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
Khawh taak ing pyi khawzah ta nawh, khawdeng thlang taw a pyi ing centak kaw.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
Amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw a toel kaana am awm kawm saw, qaai ak kqawn awm am loet ti kaw.
6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
Thlang khawzah ing ukkung kawzeelnaak sai thai nawh, kutdo ak pe thlang ing pyi khawzah ta thai hy.
7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
Ak khawdeng cingnakhqi ing a mim cawt ce a mi sawhnaak awhtaw a pyikhqi ingtaw ikawmyihna nu a mi sawhnaak pai kaw! hquut nawh khy khqi seiawm qeeng taak boeih kawm uh.
8 But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
Cyihnaak ak ta ing a hqingnaak lungna nawh, simnaak ak ta ing theemleek hu kaw.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
Amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw a toel kaana am awm kawm saw, qaai ak kqawn taw plam kaw.
10 Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
Khawsak nawmnaak ve thlakqawi ingqawi am qoepqui nih nawh tamnaa ing a boei a uk awm am kawihvaih nak khqoet hy.
11 The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
Cyihnaak ingawh thlang yh thainaak pe nawh, thlang a thawlh qeennaak taw a boeimang-naak ni.
12 As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
Sangpahrang ak kawsonaak taw samthyn a kaawk ing myih nawh, cehlai ak kawzeelnaak taw saaitlim ak khan awhkaw daamtui ing myih hy.
13 A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
Capa ak qaw taw a pa ham zoseetnaak na awm nawh, zuu, hqo ak lo poepa taw tuih poek ben tloei ing myih hy.
14 House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
Im lo ingkaw khawhkham taw pa venna kaw qona awm nawh, zuu ak cyi taw Bawipa venna kaw qo ni.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Ngaknaak ing ih tui sak nawh, thlang thak-dam taw buh cawi kaw.
16 He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
Awi pek ak ngai ing a hqingnaak ngaihthyn nawh, a khawsak amak ngaihthyn taw thi kaw.
17 He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
Khawdeng ak lungnaak taw Khawsa kut ak zoe sak na awm nawh, theemleek a sai phu ce thung kaw.
18 Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
Ngaih-uunaak a awm tloek awh na capa ce toel lah, a hamna tlo kaw ti nawh koek poek.
19 He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
Kawkso thlang ing am thin tawi phu zaawk kaw, a nih ce hul tik seiawm na hul tlaih tlaih ngaih kaw.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
Thlang ing awi ak kqawn ce ngai nawh toelnaak ak awi ce do lah, a dytnaak ben nataw cyi kawp ti.
21 There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
Thlang ing khawkpoeknaak khawzah ta hy, ceseiawm Khawsa a khawkhannaak awh ni a soep hy.
22 A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
Amak boet thai lungnaak ni thlang ing a ngaih; qaai kqawn lakawh khawdengna awm leek bet hy.
23 The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
Khawsa kqihchahnaak ing hqingnaak pe nawh, ak ta boeih khawzeel ing awm kawm usaw, zoseetnaak ing am phakhqi kaw.
24 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
Thlang thakdawh ing am khuiawh a kut tuun nawh am kha a thak hly awm ngak hy.
25 The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
Thlang ak thekhanaak ce vyyk lah, cawhtaw cyihnaak amak takhqi ing cyihnaak ta bet kawm uh, khaw ak poek thai thlang ce toel lah, cyi khqoet kaw.
26 He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
A pa khawdeng sak nawh, a nu im awhkawng ak thlaa taw capa, thlang chah ak phyih sak, ming seetnaak ak pekung ni.
27 Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
Ka capa, toelnaak awi am nang ngaihnaak hamna a nik cawngpyi ak awi ce koeh ngai.
28 An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
Cemyih ak thlang ing ak thyym ce husit nawh amak leek theem ce am kha ing daih hy.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
Toelnaak taw thlang ak thekhanaakkhqi ham saina awm nawh, thlaqaw am ting taw vyyknaak hamna ak awm ni.
