Proverbs 27
1 Boast not for tomorrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.
Tangtho e hnin hanlah kâoup hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh bangmaw a tâcokhai han tie na panuek hoeh.
2 Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.
Namahoima laipalah ayâ ni na pholen naseh, nama e pahni ni laipalah alouke ni na pholen naseh.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.
Talung hai a ri teh sadi hai a ri, hatei tamipathu lungkhueknae teh hotnaw hlak a ri hnawn.
4 Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?
Lungkhueknae teh a mathoe, lungphuennae teh a matheng, hatei utnae teh apinimaw a khang thai han.
5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
Hro e lungpatawnae hlak teh hmantang yue e ahawihnawn.
6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.
Hmâ na ka paca e hui teh yuem a kamcu, hatei taran ni na paco e teh dumyennae doeh.
7 A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.
A von ka paha tangcoung e ni teh khoipha patenghai ngai mahoeh toe, hatei a von ka hlam e tami hanelah teh kakhat e patenghai a radip.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.
Ma e imlaw ka palum ngai hoeh e teh, tava a tabu dawk kaawm ngai hoeh e hoi a kâvan.
9 Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.
Satui hoi hmuitui ni lungthin a konawm sak teh, hui kahawi ni pouknae na poe e ni hringnae konawm sak.
10 Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.
Na pa e hui hoi nama e hui kapek hanh, runae na kâhmo navah na hmaunawngha im kuekluek cet hanh, ahlanae koe e na hmaunawngha hlak teh a hnainae koe e na hui a hawihnawn.
11 Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
Na ka pacekpahlek e ka pathung thai nahanlah ka capa, lungang haw, ka lungthin konawm sak haw.
12 The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
Tamilungkaang ni thoenae hah sut a hmu teh a kâhro, kamawngrame ni teh a kâphumsin teh rek e lah ouk ao.
13 Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.
Tamitavan hanelah amahkhankung teh a angki amahkhan nahanelah la pouh lah ao vaiteh napui koe poe naseh.
14 He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.
Amom a thaw teh kacaipounglah a hui yawhawi ka poe e teh, thoebonae lah pouk pouh lah ao han.
15 Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.
Lai pou ka roe e yu teh, Puenghoi khonan hnin e khoramei hoi a kâvan.
16 He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.
Hote napui ka pâkuem e teh, kahlî ka pâkuem niteh, aranglae kut dawk satui kasum e hoi a kâvan.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Sum teh sum hoi doeh letlang hran sak thai, hot patetlah tami ni a hui e a minhmai ouk a pan sak.
18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.
Thaibunglung kung ka tawn e pueng ni thaibunglung paw a ca han, hot patetlah a bawi e thaw ka tawk e teh bari lah ao han.
19 As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
Tui dawk coungnae a kamnue, hot patetlah tami lungthin ni tami a kamnue sak.
Sheol hoi rawkkahmanae teh khout boihoeh, hot patetlah tami e mit ni a khout tie tawn boihoeh. (Sheol h7585)
21 As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
Sôlêinae manang teh ngun hanelah, takhuenhmai teh sui hanelah ao. Tami teh oup e lahoi a bawilennae panue lah ao.
22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.
Tamipathu teh sumdawk cakang hoi mek ka phawm nakunghai a pathunae ni cettakhai pawm mahoeh.
23 Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks:
Na tuhu kong panue nahanlah panki loe, na saringhu hah kahawicalah a kountouk.
24 For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tawntanae heh a yungyoe kangning hoeh, hoehpawiteh bawilukhung heh se pueng dawk kangning hoeh.
25 The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.
Phonaw hai a pâw, catinaw hai a pâw, law e a pawnaw hai khue lah ao.
26 Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.
Tunaw ni na khohna hane hmaenaw ni lawhmuen ran nahane ouk a thokhai.
27 Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.
Nang ni na ca hane, imthungnaw ca hane, sannunaw ca hanelah hmae sanutui teh a khout han doeh.
