Proverbs 27
1 Don't boast about what you're going to do tomorrow, because you don't know what the day may bring.
Khawngawi a ham koeh oe qu, ce khawnghii ing ikaw a thoeng law hly pyi am sim hyk ti.
2 Let others praise you, not you yourself; someone else, not you personally.
Namah ingkaw namah koeh kyihcah qu nawh thlang ing mah nim kyihcah seh. Na hui am, am na sim thlang a hui ing nim kyihcah seh.
3 Stone may be heavy, and sand may weigh a lot, but the annoyance caused by stupid people is the biggest burden of all.
Lung taw qih soeih nawh, dizui ing qih hlai moe, ceseiawm thlakqaw ing thlak kaw a so sak ve qih bet hy.
4 Fury may be fierce and cruel, anger may be a destructive flood, but who can withstand jealousy?
Kawtawinaak ing phyl nawh, kawsonaak ing tlung hy; cehlai yytnaak ve uing nu ang yh noeng kaw?
5 Open criticism is better than hidden love.
Lungnaak ing thuh phah anglakawh ak dangna toeltham qu leek bet hy.
6 A friend's honest comments may hurt you, but an enemy's kisses are over the top.
Pyi ingtaw lungnak ing ni lambai na nawh, na qaal ingtaw thailatnaak ing ni mawk kaw.
7 If you're full up, you can't face honey; but if you're starving, even bitter food tastes sweet.
Phoet phyi ham taw khawilu awm tuih kawina awm nawh, phoet cawi ham taw ant kha awm ak aawi ni.
8 Having to leave home is like a bird having to leave its nest.
Thlang a im ak vantaak taw, pha ang bu ak poengtaak ing myih hy.
9 Perfume and scented oils make you feel happy, but good advice from a friend is even better.
Bawktui ingkaw bawktui khu ing kawlung a awmhly sak amyihna, kawlung tak awhkawng ak cawn law pyi ak khawsimnaak ing kawlung nawm sak hy.
10 Don't give up on your friends or your family's friends. Don't go to a relative's house when you've got trouble. A friend nearby is more useful than a relative far away.
Na pyi ingkaw na pa a pyi ce koeh hlah; kyi-naak na huhawh nam cawt imna koeh ceh; na imceng taw khawlawng hla nakaw nam cawt anglakawh leek bet hy.
11 My son, make me happy by being wise, so I can respond to anyone who criticizes me.
Ka capa, cyi nawh, kak kaw ni zeel sak lah; Anik thekhanaakkhqi kam hlat naak thai ham.
12 If you're sensible you see danger coming and get out of the way; but stupid people just keep going and suffer the consequences.
Thlakcyi ing amak leek them a huhawh thuk taak nawh, thlakqaw ingtaw pan nawh amah ing zaawk na hy.
13 If someone guarantees a stranger's debt with their cloak, be sure to take it! Make sure you have whatever is pledged to an immoral woman!
Am sim thlang ham ingkaw khawsak amak leek nu ham dyihthingna ak dyi thlang taw a hibai mai aw, a khawhkham pynoet oet mai aw hawih seh.
14 If when you get up every morning you shout a loud hello to your neighbors, they will see that as a curse!
Mymcang hii tho nawh, a imceng ce khaw-tehna khy nawh zoseennaak ak pe taw, quun ak khy pek ing myih kaw.
15 An argumentative wife is as irritating as constant dripping on a rainy day.
Hqo ak sai poepa zu taw khawcui awhkaw iptih ak cei ben tloei ing myih hy.
16 Trying to stop her is like trying to make the wind stop or trying to hold olive oil in your hand.
Cemyih a nu ak khoem taw khawhlii ak khoem ing myih nawh kut khanawh situi thloen ing myih hy.
17 An iron blade is sharpened with an iron tool, and one person's mind is sharpened by another's.
Thii ing thii a hqaat sak amyihna thlang ing thlang hqaat sak hy.
18 Those who care for a fig tree eat its fruit, and those who care for their master are rewarded.
Thai thing ak lingkung ing thai thaih ai kawm saw, a boei ak khuut taw kyihcahna awm kaw.
19 Just as water reflects your face, your mind reflects who you really are.
Tuiawh mikhai ang dang amyihna thlang ak kawlung thlangawh dang hy.
20 In the same way that the grave and destruction are never satisfied, human desire is never satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
Ceikhui ingkaw Abaddon ing a khoek sak ama awm amyihna thlanghqing mik ing a khoek sak qoe am ta hy. (Sheol h7585)
21 Just as a crucible tests silver, and a furnace tests gold, people are tested by the praise they receive.
Cak am ing a caknaak dang sak nawh, mai ing a suinaak dang sak hy; Cemyih lawtna kyihcah-naak ing ak thlangnaak dang sak hy.
22 Even if you ground stupid people in a mortar, crushing them like grain with the pestle, you can't get rid of stupidity from them.
Thlaqaw taw supkhai ing sumawh ni deeng seiawm ak qawnaak ce am khawng ti kaw.
23 You should know the condition of your flocks really well and take good care of your herds,
Na tuukhqi ce ak leekna sim ham cai nawh nak khqinkhqi ce ak leekna khoem.
24 for wealth doesn't last forever—is a crown passed down through all generations?
Khawhkhamkhqi ve kumqui ham am nawh, boei lumyk taw na cadil ham dyna cak poepa kaw.
25 Once the hay is cut, and the new growth begins, and fodder from the mountains is gathered,
Saitlim aat usaw amah ing tawi tlaih tlaih nawh, tlang nakaw saitlim cun kawi uhy.
26 and the lambs have provided you wool to make clothing, and the sale of goats have paid for a field,
Na tuukhqi ce na suisak a ham, meekhqi ce na khawhyn phu hamna awm hy.
27 there'll be enough milk from your goats to feed you, your family, and your servant girls.
Na imkhui cakaw ai a ham, na tamnaa nukhqi nam cahnaak ham mee suktui ing be ngen poepa kaw.
