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 Yhwh: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
Lungdih'a lam jot chun Yahweh Pakai a ging in, hinlah achena jousea thilphalou gelpan Yahweh 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.

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 will utter lies.
Mi kitah hettoh sah-a apan teng jouthu asei ngai pon, mikitah lou 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 understandeth.
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, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
Mingol hoa kon'in kikhin mang in, ajeh chu amaho kamsunga kon'in chihna thu kisei japon nate.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
Milungthim ching hon ajot nadiu lampi akihet-un, mingol ho vang joulhepna jeng ahi.
9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

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 is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
Nuijat pat jeng in jong mihem alung kham jin, kipana jeng jong gimnan akichai-ji tai.
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, 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 simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
Mihem meimeija um chu ngolna ahin, miching hon hetna kiti hi lallukhuh a aneiyu ahi.
19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
Miphalou chu toset atosah in alehkhup jin, mikitah ding in vang bitna aum jing in ahi.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
