Proverbs 13
1 A wise son is obedient to his father: but a disobedient son will be destroyed.
Chapa ching chun anu le apan ahilna angaijin, miduhdah lou vang chu min aphona jong iman-agel jipoi.
2 A good [man] shall eat of the fruits of righteousness: but the lives of transgressors shall perish before their time.
Chihna kamcheng in an-pha akimu thei jin, jou le nal jenga thuseipan vang pumthoa mu ding bou agel in ahi.
3 He that keeps his own mouth keeps his own life: but he that is hasty with his lips shall bring terror upon himself.
Alei kituh tang joupa chu kihinso tei ding, koi hileh alei tuhtang thei lou chu mangthah tei ding ahi.
4 Every slothful man desires, but the hands of the active are diligent.
Mithase hon nehding tampi angaicha jiuvin, hinlah miching in nehding lungkim sel-in amujin ahi.
5 A righteous man hates an unjust word: but an ungodly man is ashamed, and will have no confidence.
Mikitah in jousei abol ngaipon, mikitah lou vang chun jumna le ngailutna beijin na-atongdoh jin ahi.
Mikitah chu adihna jal in ahoidoh jin, miphalou vang chu chonsetnan apui mangthah jitai.
7 There are [some] who, having nothing, enrich themselves: and there are [some] who bring themselves down in [the midst of] much wealth.
Mi kimkhat chu hao akisah lheh jin, hinlah ima aneideh poi. Mi kimkhatma chu akivai chatsah lheh jin, hinlah nei le gou kimsel-in aneiyin ahi.
8 A man's own wealth is the ransom of his life: but the poor endures not threatening.
Mihem khat chun anei le agou jal'a ahinkho akilhatdoh ahin, hinlah mivaicha ding in kilhatdoh jouna aum jipoi.
9 The righteous always have light: but the light of the ungodly is quenched. Crafty souls go astray in sins: but just men pity, and are merciful.
Mikitah chu thaomei bang in avah jing in, miphaloute thaomei vang hetman louva mit ding ahi.
10 A bad man does evil with insolence: but they that are judges of themselves are wise.
Kiletsahna jeh'in thungai loute akitoh thei jipon, kineosah a min ahilna kisante ding in vang chihna ahi.
11 Wealth gotten hastily with iniquity is diminished: but he that gathers for himself with godliness shall be increased. The righteous is merciful, and lends.
Gangtah'a kimu nei le gou chu hetman louva bei ding, nei le gou kholkhom lelepa-a vang chu tam cheh cheh ding ahi.
12 Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads [another] to hope: for a good desire is a tree of life.
Kinepna bang aso-lou teng, mihem lungthim atongkha jin, hinlah lungtup molsona chu hin-thingphung banga hing jing ding ahi.
13 He that slights a matter shall be slighted of it: but he that fears the commandment has health [of soul]. To a crafty son there shall be nothing good: but a wise servant shall have prosperous doings, and his way shall be directed aright.
Min ahilna ngainom loupa chunga manthahna lhung ding, koi hileh thupeh ngaisanga chu kipaman chang tei ding ahi.
14 The law of the wise is fountain of life: but the man void of understanding shall die by a snare.
Miching mihilna chu hinna twinah tobang ahin, hitobang kihilna sang chan chun thina apeldoh teidiu ahi.
15 Sound discretion gives favor, and to know the law is the part of a sound understanding: but the ways of scorners tend to destruction.
Lungdih kiti hin thilpha atongdoh jin, kitahna beihel mi vang chu mangthah ding ahi.
16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge: but the fool displays his own mischief.
Miching ho chun akalson masang in ageltoh masa jin, mingol hon vang geltoh masa louvin, angolnau atah lang jiuvin ahi.
17 A rash king shall fall into mischief: but a wise messenger shall deliver him.
Thupole miphalou chun miho lunggim hesoh alhut peh jin, ngansena chang tahsan um mi vang chun lungdamna jeng alhut jin ahi.
18 Instruction removes poverty and disgrace: but he that attends to reproofs shall be honored.
Seingai loupa chunga chun gentheina le vetsetna alhung jin, min ahilna chan ngaipa vang chu jabolna chang tei ding ahi.
19 The desires of the godly gladden the soul, but the works of the ungodly are far from knowledge.
Ngaichat khat toh molso nahi hinkhoa dinga lungkimna ahin, hinlah thilse jamsan ding hi mingol hon athet jiuvin ahi.
20 If you walk with wise men you shall be wise: but he that walks with fools shall be known.
Miching toh kivop chu aching in, mingol toh kivoppan vang setna ato tei ding ahi.
21 Evil shall pursue sinners; but good shall overtake the righteous.
Chonseho chu setna ajui jiuvin, mikitah te vang chu phatthei nan ajui jing un ahi.
22 A good man shall inherit children's children; and the wealth of ungodly men is laid up for the just.
Mipha chun atute khang geija din gou adalhah peh jin, chonseten akhol nei le gou vang chu michonpha ho ding ahibouve.
23 The righteous shall spend many years in wealth: but the unrighteous shall perish suddenly.
Vaichaten lou alho teng, neh ding nengchat in akhol khom un, hinlah adihlouva thutan ten achom peh jitauve.
24 He that spares the rod hates his son: but he that loves, carefully chastens [him].
Achate mol'a jep loupa chun, mol aboh ding nom lou ahin, hinlah achate ngailutna neipa chun lungthim phatah mangchan ahil-jin ahi.
25 A just [man] eats and satisfies his soul: but the souls of the ungodly are in lack.
Mikitah chun lung nachim tah'a neh ding anei jing in, hinlah miphalou ho chu gelkel'a oi-thep ding ahiuve.
