Proverbs 16

2 All the works of the humble [man] are manifest with God; but the ungodly shall perish in an evil day.

5 Every one that is proud in heart is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless. The beginning of a good way is to do justly; and it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices. He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: and they that rightly seek him shall find peace. All of the works of the Lord [are done] with righteousness; and the ungodly [man] is kept for the evil day.

11 The poise of the balance is righteousness with the Lord; and his works are righteous measures.
Yahweh Pakai in thil adih in atetoh jin, hijeh chun thil ijakai Yahweh Pakai in atetohsa jeng ahi.
12 An evil-doer is an abomination to a king; for the throne of rule is established by righteousness.
Leng ho din thil adihlouva bol hi thet umtah ahin, ajeh chu Ama vaihomna hi thudih a kingam ahi.
13 Righteous lips are acceptable to a king; and he loves right words.

14 The anger of a king is a messenger of death; but a wise man will pacify him.

16 The brood of wisdom is more to be chosen than gold, and the brood of prudence more to be chosen than silver.
Sana sang in chihna kimu dei aum jon, dangka sang'a jong thil hetthemna kisan ding ahi.
17 The paths of life turn aside from evil; and the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; and he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; and he that loves his life will spare his mouth.

Natong gimpa hin, aneh ding gelna'a atoh ahin, ajeh chu aneh nomna alol chun achama atohsah ahitai.
27 But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.
Mihem pannabei chun thilphalou jeng agel in, akamcheng soh jong melkah gin tobang ahi.
