Proverbs 11
1 False balances are an abomination before the Lord: but a just weight is acceptable to him.
Bawipa ing amak thyym cawi tahnak ce tuih nawh ak thyym cawi tahnaak ce ym hy.
2 Wherever pride enters, there will be also disgrace: but the mouth of the lowly meditates wisdom.
Oequnaak a awm naak awh chahphyihnaak awm nawh, thlakkaina kaw ak phaihkhqi venawh cyihnaak awm hy.
3 When a just man dies he leaves regret: but the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and causes joy.
Thlakdyngkhqi kawlung leeknaak ing leek-naak lamawh amimah sawi khqi kawm saw, thlang amak ypawmkhqi am ypawmnaak ing amimah plam sak khqi kaw.
4 [Possessions will not profit in a day of wrath, but righteousness will deliver from death. ]
Kawsonaak a awm khui taw khawhthem ing phu am ta kaw. Dyngnaak ingtaw thihnaak awhkawng loet sak kaw.
5 Righteousness traces out blameless paths: but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.
Thlakleek a dyngnaak ing lam huh kawm saw; khawsak amak leek thlang taw a seetnaak ing tluk sak kaw.
6 The righteousness of upright men delivers them: but transgressors are caught in their own destruction.
Thlakdyngkhqi taw ami dyngnaak ing ami-mah hul khqi kawm saw, amak dyng thlangkhqi taw seetnaak a mi sai ing amimah bin khqi kaw.
7 At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: but the boast of the ungodly perishes.
Ak thyymna khaw amak saa thlang taw a thihawh ang ngaih-uunaak awm boet pahoei nawh, ak thamahnaak ingkaw ang ngaih-uunaakkhqi boeih awm qeeng kaw.
8 A righteous man escapes from a snare, and the ungodly man is delivered up in his place.
Thlakdyng taw kyyinaak a sawngawh loet sakna awm kawm saw, amak leek thlang ing a hyn pang tloep kaw.
9 In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: but the understanding of righteous men is prosperous.
Khawsa amak siim thlang am khaa ing a imceng lovai hqee nawh, thlakdyng ingtaw ak leek khawpoeknaak ing loet sak hy.
10 In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers: but by the mouth of ungodly men it is overthrown.
Thlakdyngkhqi khawsak a vaanawh a tui a khaw ing awmhly nawh, thlakche a thihawh awmhlynaak ing thlakkhqi khyy uhy.
11 [At the blessing of the upright a city shall be exalted. ]
Thlakdyngkhqi a zoseennaak ing khawkkhui kyihcahna awm nawh, thlakchekhqi am khaa ing thangseet sak hy.
12 A man void of understanding sneers at [his fellow] citizens: but a sensible man is quiet.
A imceng ak husit thlang ing cyihnaak khawdeng nawh, kawcyih ak ta ingtaw am khaa cyyp sak hy.
13 A double-tongued man discloses the [secret] counsels of an assembly: but he that is faithful in spirit conceals matters.
Awih doem ing awihhyp pho sak nawh, thlang ypawm ing awihhyp thuh phah khawi hy.
14 They that have no guidance fall like leaves: but in much counsel there is safety.
Sawikaainaak ak leek ama awm naak awh tluuknaak awm nawh, poeknaak ak leek a doemnaak awh noengnaak awm hy.
15 A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man: and he hates the sound of safety.
Khawlawng thlang ham qii ak khoeng taw amah ham seetnaak ak saina awm nawh, qiik khoengkung ak toel thlang taw ding kaw.
16 A gracious wife brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonor. The slothful come to lack: but the diligent support themselves with wealth.
Nukleek ing kyihcahnaak ham kawm saw, pakleek ing khawhthem ham kaw.
17 A merciful man does good to his own soul: but the merciless destroys his own body.
Thlangqeen khaw ak ngai ing amah ham theemleek ham nawh khawsak amak leek ingtaw a pumsa ham kyinaak ham kaw.
18 An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: but the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth.
Thlakche ing thlang a thailatnaak phu hu nawh dyngnaak ak saw ingtaw laksawng do kaw.
19 A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly [ends] in death.
Dyngnaak awh ak ypawm thlang ing hqingnaak ham nawh, seetnaak ak hquut ing thihnaak ham kaw.
20 Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him.
Kawpoek amak leek thlang ce Khawsa ing tuih nawh, thlakdyng taw ym hy.
21 He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness he shall receive a faithful reward.
Beqoep usei awm, khawsak amak leek thlangkhqi taw toeltham kaana am hlah khqi kawm uh. Cehlai, thlakdyng taw ak dingna cet kaw.
22 As an ornament in a swine's snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded women.
Ak thlang daw mai seiawm, amak cyyp nula taw vawk a huiawh sui kutcyh byn pek ing myih kaw.
23 All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
Thlakdyng a ngaihnaak taw themleek awh dyt nawh, thlakche ang ngaihypnaak taw kawsonaak ing boet kaw.
24 There are [some] who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are [some] also who gather, [yet] have less.
Theem pek taw pungnak khqoet ni, khawboe seet taw khawdengnaak khqoet ni.
25 Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful.
Khawboe ak leek thlang taw boei kawm saw, tui ing thlang ak syyp thlang taw amah awm syymna awm kaw.
26 May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: but blessing be on the head of him that gives [it].
Caang ak hlawh thlang taw kawseet na awm kawm saw, ak zaawi ak thlang taw zoseennaak ing bee kaw.
27 He that devises good [counsels] seeks good favor: but [as for] him that seeks after evil, [evil] shall overtake him.
Themleek ak sui ing kawpeok leek moe qhum kawm nih saw, amak leek theem ak sui ingtaw amak leek theem mi hqum kawm nih.
28 He that trusts in wealth shall fall; but he that helps righteous men shall rise.
A them ak ypnaak thlang taw tlu kawm saw, thlakdyng taw thing a no amyihna hlultawi kaw.
29 He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise man.
A imkhuiawh seetnaak ak saikung ing khawhlii qona pang kawm saw, thlakqaw ing thlakcyi a tamnaa na awm kaw.
30 Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; but the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time.
Thlakdyng ak thaihqah taw hqingnaak thingna awm nawh, thlakcyi ing thlang kawlung noeng hy.
31 If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Ngai lah, thlakdyng pateng khawmdek awh thungna a awm awhtaw thlakche ingkaw thlak-thawlh khqoet taw ikawmyihana nu thungna a awm pai kaw.
