Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
Kahoih ai kami loe mi mah doeh patom ai to mah a cawnh; toe katoeng kaminawk loe kaipui baktiah misahoih o.
2 For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
Prae thungah zaehaih pung pongah, ukkung doeh pop; toe khopoek thaih kami hoi palungha kami hoiah ni prae to cak.
3 A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
Kamtang pacaekthlaek kami loe thingthai athaisak ai khotui baktiah oh.
4 They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
Patukhaih lok pahnawt kami loe kahoih ai kami to thapaek, toe patukhaih lok baktiah khosah kami loe nihcae ih lok to aek.
5 Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
Kasae kami loe toenghaih to panoek ai; toe Angraeng pakrong kami loe hmuen to panoek boih.
6 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.
Kahoih ai hmuen sah angraeng pongah loe toenghaih hoi khosah mithoe to hoih kue.
7 He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.
Patukhaih lok pazui kami loe palungha kami ah oh; toe angzoeh koeh kami hoi ampui sah kami loe ampa to mikhmai setsak.
8 He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
Katoeng ai loklam hoiah hak ih phoisa hoi hmuenmae patung mangh kami loe, kamtang tahmen thaih kami hanah ni patung pae.
9 He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
Patukhaih lok pazui ai kami loe, anih ih lawkthuihaih doeh panuet thoh.
10 He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
Katoeng kami loklam amkhraengsak kami loe, angmah ih tangqom thungah krah tih; toe katoeng kami loe kahoih hmuen to toep tih.
11 The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
Long angraeng loe angmah hoi angmah to palungha kami ah poek; toe poek thaihaih katawn mithoe loe anih pongah panoek kue.
12 When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.
Katoeng kami palung anghoe naah, kating ai lensawkhaih to oh; kasae kami thacak naah loe kaminawk anghawk o king.
13 He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.
Angmah ih zaehaih angphat kami loe khosak hoih mak ai; toe a zaehaih taphong moe, caehtaak kami loe, Sithaw palungnathaih to hnu tih.
14 Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.
Angraeng zithaih tawn poe kami loe tahamhoih; toe palungthah kami loe raihaih thungah amtim tih.
15 As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
Ukkung kahoih ai loe hmawhsaeng kaipui, to tih ai boeh loe taqom baktiah oh.
16 A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
Panoekthaihaih tawn ai ukkung loe pacaekthlaek kami ah oh; toe uthaih hnuma kami loe hinglung sawk tih.
17 A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.
Athii palong kami loe tangqom thungah caeh tih; anih to mi mah doeh angdoe haih hmah nasoe.
18 He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.
Katoeng loklam ah caeh kami loe ngancuem tih; toe lam amkhraeng kami loe amtim roep tih.
19 He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.
Lawk toksah kami loe caaknaek tawn mang tih; toe tidoeh avang ai kami hnukbang kami loe amtang tih.
20 A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent.
Oepthok kami loe tahamhoihaih hnu tih; toe karangah angraeng koeh kami loe toenghaih hoiah toksah mak ai.
21 To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread.
Minawk mikhmai khet han hoih ai; kami loe takaw kae maeto hak hanah kasae hmuen to sak thaih.
22 A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him.
Karangah angraeng koeh kami loe kahoih ai mik to tawnh; anih mah a nuiah amtanghaih pha tih, tito panoek ai.
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
Pakha hoi pakoeh kami pongah loe, minawk thuitaek kami to hnukkhuem ah pakoehhaih hak tih.
24 Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.
Ampa hoi amno ih hmuenmae to lomh ah, zaehaih ah om ai, tiah thui kami loe, amrosak kami ih ampui ah ni oh.
25 He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
Amoekhaih palungthin tawn kami mah angzoehhaih to ohsak; toe Angraeng oep kami loe zok amhah tih.
26 Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.
A poekhaih angoep kami loe kamthu ni; toe palunghahaih hoiah caeh kami loe loihaih to hnu tih.
27 He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.
Kamtang abomh kami loe amtang mak ai; toe kamtang to hnu ai kami baktiah angsah kami loe, kasaethuihaih to hnu tih.
28 When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
Katoeng ai kami angraeng naah minawk mah anghawk taak; toe nihcae duek naah, katoeng kaminawk to qoeng o tahang tih.
