Proverbs 14
1 Every wise woman buildeth her house; but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
Numeiching in ain-chen akisemtup in, numei ngol in vang amatah ain-chen sukeh in apangin ahi.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD; but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him.
Lungdih’a lam jot chun Pakai aging in, hinlah achena jousea thilphalou gelpan Pakai anahsah jipon ahi.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
Mingol in akijepna ding akiseidoh bep jin, miching hon vang ahoidoh nadiu akiseidoh jiuvin ahi.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5 A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness breatheth forth lies.
Mi kitah hettoh sah-a apan teng jouthu asei ngai pon, midihlou hettoh sah-a apan teng jou le nal in thu aseijin ahi.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; but knowledge is easy unto him that hath discernment.
Michavai hon chihna ahol-un amu jou deh pouvin, hinlah thil hetthemna neipa ding in chihna hi nailam cha ahibouve.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, for thou wilt not perceive the lips of knowledge.
Mingol hoa kon’in kikhin mang in, ajeh chu amaho kamsung'a kon’in chihna thu kisei japon nate.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to look well to his way; but the folly of fools is deceit.
Milungthim ching hon ajot nadiu lampi akihet-un, mingol ho vang joulhepna jeng ahi.
9 Amends pleadeth for fools; but among the upright there is good will.

10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and with its joy no stranger can intermeddle.

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Mihem khat’in achena lampi chu dih-in agel jin, hinlah alampi chu ajonaleh thina ahi.
13 Even in laughter the heart acheth; and the end of mirth is heaviness.

15 The thoughtless believeth every word; but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
Mihem meimeija um chun akisei jouse atahsan jin, miching in vang achena ding akivet phet in ahi.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; but the fool behaveth overbearingly, and is confident.
Miching hon chingthei tah’in thilse apeldoh jiuvin, mingol hon vang ngol han pum’in na atong jiuve.
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly; and a man of wicked devices is hated.
Milungchom hon ngol hoitah in thil abol jiuvin, hinlah thil hethem mivang chu atomngai ahi.
18 The thoughtless come into possession of folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

22 Shall they not go astray that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be for them that devise good.
Thilse jeng gel hon suhkhel anei tei jiuvin, thilpha jeng ngaito hon vang tahsanna le kitahna akimu jiuvin ahi.
23 In all labour there is profit; but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
Natoh hahsa kiti chun aphachom asoh tei ding, natoh beija thumot seina hin vaichat asoji ahi.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches; but the folly of fools remaineth folly.

29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

Mivaicha sugenthei hon asempau Pathen ataitom nau ahin, amavang nei lou genthei khoto them chun asempa Pathen agin ahi.
32 The wicked is thrust down in his misfortune; but the righteous, even when he is brought to death, hath hope.
Miphalou chu toset atosah in alehkhup jin, midih ding in vang bitna aum jing in ahi.
33 In the heart of him that hath discernment wisdom resteth; but in the inward part of fools it maketh itself known.
