Proverbs 29
1 Anyone who goes on stubbornly rejecting many warnings will be suddenly destroyed, without hope of healing.
Thlang ing a toelzyih coeng awhawm kaw ak ting thlang taw amak voei thai voelna plam kaw.
2 When good people are in charge, everybody celebrates; but when the wicked rule, everybody groans.
Thlakdyng a awm awh pilnam ak kawzeel nawh, thlakche ing a uk awh pilnam kaw vung hy.
3 A man who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but one who visits prostitutes throws away his money.
Cyinaak ak lungnaak ing a pak kaw zeel sak nawh, a pum ak zawi nu ak ih pyi taw a khawh plam kaw.
4 A king who rules justly makes the country secure, but one who asks for bribes will destroy it.
Ak thymna ak uk sangpahrang ing khawqam cak sak nawh, cehlai ang hyp kutdo ak lungnaak ing khawqam seet sak kaw.
5 Those who flatter their friends lay a net to trip them up.
A imceng ak kyihcah phawk taw a khaw ham thang ak duun ni.
6 Evil people are trapped by their own sins, but those who do right sing and celebrate.
Thlakche taw amah thawlhnaak awh aawk nawh, thlakdyng taw awmhly nawh laa sa hy.
7 Good people care about treating the poor fairly, but the wicked don't think about it at all.
Thlakdyng ingtaw khawdengkhqi hamna lam ak leek poek pek khqi nawh, thlakche ingtaw ak poeknaak ham kawlung am pe hy.
8 Cynical people can inflame a whole city, but the wise calm angry people down.
Thlang ak thekhanaak ing khawkkhui awi pung sak nawh, thlakdyng ingtaw kawsonaak qeem sak hy.
9 When a wise man takes a stupid man to court, there's raging and ridicule, but nothing is settled.

10 Murderers hate people of integrity, but those who live right try to help them.
Thi lawng sak ak lungnakkhqi ing thlakleek hudam unawh, thlakdyng ingtaw a hqingnaak hul ham cai hy.
11 Stupid people let all their anger out, while wise people quietly hold it in.
Thlakqaw ing ak kawsonaak kqawn boeih nawh thlakcyi ingtaw thuh phah nawh ngawih pyi hy.
12 A ruler who listens to lies will have nothing but wicked officials.
Ukkung ing qai kqawn awi ang ngaih awhtaw a tamnaakhqi boeih thlakche na awm uhy.
13 Poor people and their oppressors have this in common: the Lord gives life to all of them.
Khawdeng thlang ingkaw thlang ak hep qawi kutoetna khaw sa haih nih nawh, Bawipa ing a ni mik daih sak qawi haih hy.
14 If a king judges the poor fairly, he will have a long rule.
Khawdeng cakhqi ypawm cana ak ukkung sangpahrang taw a boei ngaihnaak ce kumqui cak sakna awm poepa kaw.
15 Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.
Cumcik ingkaw toelzyihnaak ing nasen cyi sak nawh, hlahphlam awhtaw a nu chah pyih sak kaw.
16 When the wicked are in power, sin increases; but the good will see their downfall.
Thlache a pung awh thawlhnaak pung nawh, cekkhqi a ming tluk thlakdyngkhqi ing hu kawm uh.
17 Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.
Na capa ce ak leekna toel nawh, dymnaak ni pe kawm saw kawpoek nawmnaak ni pe kaw.
18 Without a revelation from God, the people go out of control, but those who keep the law are happy.
Hailam khaw huh thainaak ama awm awh pilnam hlahphlam nawh, cehlai aanaa awi ak ngai thlang taw a zoseen kaw.
19 A servant can't be disciplined by words alone; though they understand, they don't follow what they're told.
Tamnaa taw awi mai ing tlaihvawng thai am ni; zasim seiawm am sai kaw.
20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There's more hope for stupid people than for him!
Awi ak kqawn pyn pyn ak awm aw? A nih anglakawh thlakqaw awh ngaih-uunaak awm bet hy.
21 A servant indulged from childhood will in the end become unmanageable.
A nasen awhkawng awm pyi tamnaa ing ca a qo qup pyi kaw.
22 Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.
Thlak kawktawi ing khqah qu coeng sak nawh, thlak kawsonaak ing thawlhnaak sai hy.
23 If you're proud, you'll be humiliated; but if you're humble, you'll be honored.
Ak oek qu thlang ak kaina awm nawh, kaw ak daw ing kyihcahnaak hu hy.
24 A thief's partner hates his life; even under the threat of being cursed he can't tell the truth.
Thlakqu ak pyinaak taw amah a hqingnaak ak sawhnaak ni; qun khy awi za moe seinu ak kqawn hly kqih hy.
25 Being afraid of people traps you, but if you trust in the Lord you're safe.
Thlang kqih nawh awi ak ngai hqoeh hqoeh taw a ham thang ak duun ing myih nawh, Bawipa ak ypnaak thlang taw a sa syng kaw.
26 Many people look for favors from a ruler, but justice comes from the Lord.
Thlang khawzah ing ukkung haiawh mikhai-leek huh ham sui uhy, cehlai Bawipa ven na kawng ni thlang ing mikhaileek a huh hly thai.
27 Good people hate those who are unjust; the wicked hate those who do what's right.
Thlakdyng ing amak thym them ce tuih nawh, thlakche ing thlakdyng ce tuih lawt hy.
