Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
A lawk ka longkawi e tamipathu hlak, mathoe laihoi yuemkamcu hringnae ahawihnawn.
2 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
Panuenae tawn laipalah hringnae hai hawi hoeh, a khok a hue ka rang e hai a payon thai.
3 The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
A pathunae ni lamthung a payon sak teh, a lungthung hoi BAWIPA ouk a taran.
4 Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
Hnopai ni huiko moi a sak, hatei tamimathoe teh a hui ni a ceitakhai.
5 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.
Ka panuekkhaikung kaphawk teh rek laipalah tâcawt mahoeh, laithoe ka dei e hai hlout mahoeh.
6 Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
Tami kapap ni bawi e lungyouk hanelah a kâcai awh, poehno ka poe e tami hai tami pueng ni a kamyawngkhai.
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.
Tamimathoe teh a hmaunawngha pueng ni hai a hmuhma, a huinaw natawng teh ahlanae koe doeh hoe ao awh, lawkkanem lahoi a pâlei ei nakunghai hoe a yawng takhai awh.
8 He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
Lungangnae ka hmawt e ni hringnae a lungpataw teh, thaipanueknae ka pâkuem e ni hnokahawi a hmu han.
9 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
Ka panuekkhaikung kaphawk teh rek laipalah tâcawt mahoeh, laithoe ka dei e hai a rawk han.
10 Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
Hringnawmnae heh tamipathunaw hanelah kamcu hoeh, san ni khobawi a uk e heh hoe kamcu hoeh.
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
Poukpanueknae ka tawn e ni a lungsaw sak teh, kâtapoenae ka pahnim pouh e teh ama ka bawilen sakkung doeh.
12 The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
Siangpahrang lungkhuek e teh sendek ka huk e patetlah ao, hatei a ngaikhainae teh hram dawk ka bawt e tadamtui patetlah ao.
13 A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
Capa ka pathu e teh a na pa hanelah thoenae kaphawtkung lah ao teh, lai ka roe e yu teh tui ka yu e patetlah ao.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
Im hoi tawntanae teh napanaw koehoi coe e râw doeh, hatei yu kahawi teh BAWIPA koehoi e doeh.
15 Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
Thathoenae ni ihmu a tho sak, ka pangak e teh a vonhlam han.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
Kâpoelawk ka tarawi e teh a hringnae a ring, hatei ka pahnawt e teh a due han.
17 He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
Tamimathoe ka pahren e teh BAWIPA koe a cawi sak toe, a poe tangcoung e hno hah bout poe lah ao han.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.
Ngaihawinae ao navah na capa hah yue haw, a kahma nahanelah pouk hanh.
19 A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.
A lung puenghoi ka khuek sak e ni reknae a kâhmo han, bangkongtetpawiteh, na rungngang nakunghai boutbout rungngang a ngai han doeh.
20 Heare counsell and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter ende.
Kâpankhainae hah thai haw, cangkhainae hah dâw haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, hmalah na lung a ang han.
21 Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.
Tami e lungthin ni hno moikapap a kâcai, hatei BAWIPA e khokhangnae dueng doeh kangning han.
22 That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.
Tami ni a ngai poung e teh pahrennae hah doeh, laithoe dei e hlak mathoe e ahawihnawn.
23 The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.
BAWIPA takinae ni hringnae koe lah a ceikhai, hote hringnae ka tawn e teh a lung a kuep vaiteh, hnokathout ni thosin mahoeh.
24 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.
Tami ka pangak ni a kut a kâyap teh rawca a kâtu hane boehai ngai hoeh.
25 Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.
Ka dudam e tami hah hem haw, kamawngrame tami teh a kâhlaw yawkaw han doeh, a lungkaang e tami hah yue haw patopatang han
26 He that destroyeth his father, or chaseth away his mother, is a lewde and shamefull childe.
Na pa roedeng ka poe ni teh manu ka hrek e teh, yeiraiponae hoi min mathoenae ka phawt e capa doeh.
27 My sonne, heare no more the instruction, that causeth to erre from ye words of knowledge.
Ka capa cangkhainae thai e heh na kâhat payon pawiteh, lungangnae lamthung na phen han doeh.
28 A wicked witnes mocketh at iudgement, and the mouth of ye wicked swalloweth vp iniquitie.
Cungkeihoehe kapanuekkhaikung ni lawkcengnae kalan a dudam teh, tamikathout e pahni ni payonpakainae a payawp.
29 But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.
Lawkcengnae heh kadudamnaw hanelah hruek e lah ao teh, hemnae bongpai teh tamipathunaw e hnukthun hane doeh.
