Proverbs 16
1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD.
Mihem in alung sunga tohgon anei jin, kam kilhang sel'a thu kisei jong Yahweh Pakai in adonbut teijin ahi.
2 All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
Thildihlou pum'a kai-tampi kidon khom sang in, thildih'a lhomcha nei ding aphajoi.
9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

10 A divine sentence [is] in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
Lengpa kamsunga kon'in Elohim Pathen thusei ahung gingdoh jin, hijeh chun lengpan thu a tankhel jipon ahi.
11 A just weight and balance [are] the LORD’s: all the weights of the bag [are] his work.

15 In the light of the king’s countenance [is] life; and his favour [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.
Lengpa mailhai sel'a aum teng, damna akibe jin, lengpa lunglhaina jong hi, go hung phin lhaji meilhang tobang ahi.
16 How much better [is it] to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

22 Understanding [is] a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools [is] folly.
Chihna nei mi chu hinna twinah tobang ahin, mingol ho ngolna hi talen matna bep ahi.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

24 Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.

29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way [that is] not good.
Pumthoa natong hon aheng akom jeng jong atilseu-vin, chuting aheng akompa jong lamdih-lou alhung jitai.
30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
Koi hileh mit teni-singa phetsah jichun, thilpha lou jeng angaiton, muh phunsah sah pan jong thilphalou abolsoh ahita bouve.
31 The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.
Sam-kang liuva hinna hi, loupina lallukhuh ahin, adih jenga hinkho akiman teng, hitobanga hi hinkhosot thei ahibouve.
32 [He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Ki hatsah sang in thohhat tah'a lungneng apha jon, alungput athua nunsah joupa chu, khopi khat nokhum'a kilah sang in aphachom joi.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
Khutphang sunga vang akive jin, hinlah vang phatna leh phatlouna chu Yahweh Pakaija hung kon bou ahi.
