Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Thlakche taw ahu am hqut u seiawm cen kaw. Thlakdyng taw samthyn amyihna am thin awm kaw.
2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
Qam khuiawh qaal a thawhawh, ukkung khawzah awm hy, cehlai khaw ak poek thai ingkaw cyihnaak ak taa thlang ingtaw ak dingna qam uk hy.
3 A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which left no food.
Khawdengkhqi ak thekhanaak ukkung taw tawi an amak tawi sak qawh tui ing myih hy.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
A lawngim ak cehtaakkhqi ing thlakche kyihcah unawh, cehlai a lawngim amyihna khaw ak sakhqi ingtaw oelh uhy.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
Thlang amak leek ing ik-oeih ak dyng am sim thai uhy, cehlai Bawipa ak sui thlangkhqi ingtaw ak soep cana sim thai uhy.
6 Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
Amak thymna khaw ak sa kuiqang lakawh caawt kawi amak awmna khawksa khawdeng leek bet hy.
7 Whoso keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.
A lawngim amyihna khaw ak sa thai thlang taw khaw ak poek thai capak cyihna awm hy, cehlai aawk ai ak kamva ak pyinaak capa ingtaw a pa chah pyih sak hy.
8 He that by interest and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
A pung khawzah lawhnaak ing boei nawh thlang hamna them khawzah ak cun thlang taw, khawdengkhqi ak qeenkung na awm hy.
9 He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
U awm a lawngim benna haa amak keeng thlang taw, ak cykcahnaak awm tuih ak cu ni.
10 Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
Thlakdyng, lam amak leekawh ak ceh pyi taw amah a vaam cawh nawn awh tla kaw, cehlai thlak soep coet amak kap ingtaw qo leek pang kawm uh.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.
Kuiqang thlang ing amah ngaih awh thlakcyi na ngai qu mai seiawm, thlak khawdeng khawkpoek thai ingtaw ak ceetna huh pe hy.
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
Thlakdyng ing noengnaak a huhawh kyihcahnaak ak sang soeih pe uhy; cehlai thlakche a boei awh thlangkhqi ing thuk taak uhy.
13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
A thawlh ak thuhphah ak thlang ing qeennaak am ham kawm saw, a thawlhnaak pho sak nawh qeennaak ak thoeh ing qeennaak hu kaw.
14 Happy is the man that fears always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.
Bawipa ak kqihcah poe taw thlang zoseen ni, am thin ak sah ak thlang taw kyinaak sawng kaw.
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
Khawdeng ak thekhanaak ukkung taw samthyyn ak kaawk ingkaw phawm ak tlung ing myih hy.
16 The prince that wants understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
Khawkpoek thainaak amak ta ukkung taw thlang ak phep qeekung ni, amak thymna them huh ak sawhnaak thlang taw a hqinglung saang kaw.
17 A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
A kutawh thlang thi ak lawng lawkkhqawng dungawh tla kawm saw, u ingawm koeh hul seh nyng.
18 Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
U awm ak thymna khawksa taw loet sakna awm kawm saw, amak thymna khawksa taw tlu poe kaw.
19 He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
A loawh bi ak bi ing aawk ai khawzah hu kaw, cehlai a nawmnaak doeng ak sui thlang taw khawdeng kaw.
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
Thlak ypawm ing zoseennaak hu kawm saw, cehlai boei ak ngaih aih taw a phep kaana am hlah kawm uh.
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
Thlang mikhai toek am leek hy, cehlai phaipi cun oet mai ing thlang ing thawlh sai thai hy.
22 He that hastes to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.
Thlakqu ing them hu hquut nawh, ak khan-awh khawdengnaak a pha law hly am sim hy.
23 He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
Awih leek ing anik kyihcahna ak saa qu thlang lakawh anik toelthamkung ing a huna kyihcahnaak hu kaw.
24 Whoso robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
A nu pa a them muk nawh, “Am poei hy,” ak ti taw thlang ak plam sakkung ni.
25 He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
Ak kamvaa a awmnaak awh phekbonaak awm nawh, Bawipa ak ypnaak taw thlang zoseen ni.
26 He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walks wisely, he shall be delivered.
Ak poeknaak awh ak hanng ak thlang taw thlakqaw na awm nawh, cehlai cyihnaak awh ak cet taw thlang zoseen ni.
27 He that gives unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse.
Khawdeng them ak pe taw am khawdeng kawm saw, ak hawimang taak taw quun khy pekna awm kaw.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Thlakche a boei awh thlak boei ing thuk taak nawh, cehlai thlakche a thih awh thlakdyngkhqi pung uhy.
