< Proverbs 19 >

1 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
Thailatnaak awi ak kqawn thlakqawna awm anglakawh thlak khawdeng, kawpoek leek ak toen na awm leek bet hy.
2 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
Simnaak kaana ngaihnaak doeng awm am leek nawh, khawng khaam tawn aih awm tlunknaak ni.
3 The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
Thlakqaw a qawnaak ing a lam seet sak nawh, Khawsa awh ak kaw vuung sak hy.
4 Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
Khawh taak ing pyi khawzah ta nawh, khawdeng thlang taw a pyi ing centak kaw.
5 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, 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 reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
Thlang khawzah ing ukkung kawzeelnaak sai thai nawh, kutdo ak pe thlang ing pyi khawzah ta thai hy.
7 All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more will his friends depart farre from him? though hee be instant with wordes, yet they will not.
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 He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
Cyihnaak ak ta ing a hqingnaak lungna nawh, simnaak ak ta ing theemleek hu kaw.
9 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
Amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw a toel kaana am awm kawm saw, qaai ak kqawn taw plam kaw.
10 Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
Khawsak nawmnaak ve thlakqawi ingqawi am qoepqui nih nawh tamnaa ing a boei a uk awm am kawihvaih nak khqoet hy.
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
Cyihnaak ingawh thlang yh thainaak pe nawh, thlang a thawlh qeennaak taw a boeimang-naak ni.
12 The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
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 sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
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 the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
Im lo ingkaw khawhkham taw pa venna kaw qona awm nawh, zuu ak cyi taw Bawipa venna kaw qo ni.
15 Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
Ngaknaak ing ih tui sak nawh, thlang thak-dam taw buh cawi kaw.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
Awi pek ak ngai ing a hqingnaak ngaihthyn nawh, a khawsak amak ngaihthyn taw thi kaw.
17 He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
Khawdeng ak lungnaak taw Khawsa kut ak zoe sak na awm nawh, theemleek a sai phu ce thung kaw.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.

Thlang ing awi ak kqawn ce ngai nawh toelnaak ak awi ce do lah, a dytnaak ben nataw cyi kawp ti.
21 Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.
Thlang ing khawkpoeknaak khawzah ta hy, ceseiawm Khawsa a khawkhannaak awh ni a soep hy.
22 That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.
Amak boet thai lungnaak ni thlang ing a ngaih; qaai kqawn lakawh khawdengna awm leek bet hy.
23 The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.
Khawsa kqihchahnaak ing hqingnaak pe nawh, ak ta boeih khawzeel ing awm kawm usaw, zoseetnaak ing am phakhqi kaw.
24 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.

25 Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.
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 destroyeth his father, or chaseth away his mother, is a lewde and shamefull childe.
A pa khawdeng sak nawh, a nu im awhkawng ak thlaa taw capa, thlang chah ak phyih sak, ming seetnaak ak pekung ni.
27 My sonne, heare no more the instruction, that causeth to erre from ye words of knowledge.
Ka capa, toelnaak awi am nang ngaihnaak hamna a nik cawngpyi ak awi ce koeh ngai.
28 A wicked witnes mocketh at iudgement, and the mouth of ye wicked swalloweth vp iniquitie.
Cemyih ak thlang ing ak thyym ce husit nawh amak leek theem ce am kha ing daih hy.
29 But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.
Toelnaak taw thlang ak thekhanaakkhqi ham saina awm nawh, thlaqaw am ting taw vyyknaak hamna ak awm ni.
