< Proverbs 11 >
1 A FALSE balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
Thil adihlouva kite hi Yahweh Pakai in athet ahin, dihta a akilep-toa akite teng Yahweh Pakai ding in kipa aum-jie.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
Mikitah ho kamkeh loubeh a aum jiu hi, amasang-diuva lamhil a pang ahin, jou le nal'a thuseija lungthim dihlou hin, ajona leh manthahna aso-sah jitauvin ahi.
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
Miphalou chu athiteng akinepna jong pannabei ahin, Elohim Pathen sumilte dinga kinepna jong pannabei ahi.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
Mikitah chu gim le hesohna kon in akihuhdoh jin, miphalou vang chu gim le hesohna'a alhalut jitai.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Elohim Pathen sumil mi chun aheng akom manthana ding jeng asei jin, hinlah hetkhen na thahat nei jeh in mikitah te huhdoh in aum-jin ahi.
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
Mikitah hon aphalam amano teng, khopi sunga mihemte akipah un, mikitah lou ho chunga manthahna alhun teng, mi akipah jin ahi.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Mikitah ho chunga phattheina jal in, khopi sung mite dopsang in aum un, hinlah mikitah lou ho thumot sei jeh'in khopi amangthah bep jin ahi.

16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
