Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away fury; but a mortifying word stirreth up anger.
Awih neem ing kawso qeem sak nawh, awih tlo ing kaw so sak hy.
2 The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge acceptable; but the mouth of fools sputtereth out folly.
Thlakcyi am lai ing cyihnaak awitak cawn sak nawh, thlakqaw am kha ing qawnaak dang sak hy.
3 In every place are the eyes of the Lord, looking on the bad and the good.
Boepa mik taw hyn boeih awh awm nawh, theem leek ingkaw theem che toek poepa hy.
4 A healing [word] of the tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a breach to the spirit.
Thlang ak qoei sak lai taw hqingnaak thingna awm nawh, thailatnaak ing ak bee lai taw kawlung patang sak hy.
5 A fool contemneth the correction of his father; but he that observeth admonition will become prudent.
Thlakqaw ingtaw a pa ak toelnaak husit nawh, cehlai toelnaak ak haanaak taw ngaihtaak ing khawksaa thlang ni.
6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure; but in the income of the wicked is trouble.
Thlakdyng imawh khawh khawzah awm nawh, thlakche khawboe phu taw kawpoek kyinaak ni.
7 The lips of the wise scatter knowledge; but the heart of fools is not reliable.
Thlakcyi a huui ing siimnaak pungtai sak nawh, thlakqaw kawlung ingtaw cemyih am sai hy.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of the Lord: but, the prayer of the upright [obtaineth] his favor.
Thlakche a hyih phum taw Khawsa ham tuih kawina awm nawh; thlakleek a hlacamnaak taw Khawsa ham kawzeelnaak ni.
9 An abomination of the Lord is the way of the wicked; but him that pursueth righteousness will he love.
Thlakchekhqi lam taw Khawsa ham tuih kawina awm nawh, dyngnaak lamawh ak cetkhqi cetaw lungna khqi hy.
10 An evil correction is [destined] for him that forsaketh the [right] path; he that hateth admonition will die.
Lamawh amak cetkhqi taw ak tlo soeih toelnaak ing qeeh nawh; toelthamnaak ak sawhnaak thlang taw thi kaw.
11 The nether world and corruption are open before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men! (Sheol h7585)
Ceikhui ingkaw Abaddon ce Khawsa ing a huh pheng awhtaw thlang kawlung taw ikawmyih na nu ang dang hly pheng? (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loveth not that one should admonish him: unto the wise doth he not go.
Thlang ak thekha naak ing toelnaak am lungna nawh, thlakcyi venna awm am cet ti kaw.
13 A merry heart cheereth up the countenance; but when the heart feeleth pain the spirit is depressed.
Kawlung awmhlynaak ing mikhai hlampan sak nawh, kawlung tlohnaak ing myihla kawseet sak hy.
14 The heart of the man of understanding seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
Khawkpoek thainaak kawlung ak ta ing cyinaak sui nawh, thlakqaw am kha ingtaw qawnaak doengawh awm hy.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil; but he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.
Kyinaak ak sawng ham khawnghii boeih ve se boeih nawh, kawlung ak nawmkhqi ham taw zeelnaak poei ing bee poepa hy.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and confusion therewith.
Patang doena theem khawzah taak ang lakawh Khawsa kqihnaak ing theem a khoeh taak ve leek bet hy.
17 Better is an allowance of herbs when love is there, than a stall-fed ox and hatred therewith.
Sawhnaak kawlung ing vaitaw ak tha him nawh buh vel anglakawh lungnak a awmnaak awh an hah ing buh vel haih leek bet hy.
18 A man of fury stirreth up strife; but he that is slow to anger assuageth contention.
Thlang am thin ak see ing hqehnaak coeng sak nawh, yhnaak ak ta thlang ingtaw kawso qeem sak hy.
19 The way of the slothful man is like a hedge of thorns; but the path of the upright is a levelled [road].
Thlang thakdam a lamawh hling bee nawh, thlakmeet a lam taw kau nawh dyng hy.
20 A wise son causeth his father to rejoice; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Capak cyi ing pa ak kaw zeel sak nawh, thlakqaw ingtaw a nu thee na hy.
21 Folly is joy to him that is void of sense; but a man of understanding walketh straight forward.
Cyihnaak amak ta khqi ham taw qawnaak ve a mi awmhlynaak na awm nawh, khawksiim thlang ingtaw a lam dyng sak hy.
22 Plans are frustrated without consultation; but through a multitude of counsellors canst thou maintain thyself.
Awi doet qu kaana bi sai ing am phu mah nawh, cehlai awi doet qunaak a kuum awh bibi coeng hy.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth; and a word [spoken] at the proper time, how good is it!
Amah a tym canawh awi doet hlatnaak ak thyym zaak taw ym ham kawi soeih hy.
24 The path of life [leadeth] upward for the intelligent, in order that he may avoid the nether world beneath. (Sheol h7585)
Thlakcyi ham hqingnaak lam taw a baang benna kawng nawh, kham lam Ceikhui lamawh ama ceh naak ham. (Sheol h7585)
25 The Lord, will tear down the house of the proud; but he will set up firmly the boundary [-stone] of the widow.
Bawipa ing thlak oekqu a im ce khaai khoep kawm saw, nuhai a im khoeng taw cak sak kaw.
26 An abomination of the Lord are the thoughts of the bad man; but pleasant speeches are pure [before him].
Kawpoek amak leek taw Khawsa am tyih kawina awm nawh, kawpoek ak ciimkhqi kawpoek cetaw ym pekkhqi hy.
27 He that is greedy after gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts will live.
Thlak kamvaa ing a imkhui patang pe hy, cehlai ang hyp kutdo ak sawhnaak thlang taw hqing kaw.
28 The heart of the righteous reflecteth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked sputtereth out evil things.
Thlakdyng kawlung ing awi khin ngai hy, cehlai thlakche ingtaw awihche hlah sawqhat hy.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked; but the prayer of the righteous doth he hear.
Khawsa ing thlakche khqi ce lak hla khqi nawh thlakdyng khqi a cykcahnaak taw zaak pekkhqi hy.
30 [What is pleasant to] the light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: a good report giveth marrow to the bones.
Mikhai hlampannaak ingawh kawlung awmhly sak nawh, awithangleek ing quhqawng cang sak hy.
31 The ear that heareth the admonition of life will ever abide in the midst of the wise.
Hqingnaak pek toelthamnaak ak haanaak taw thlakcyikhqi a imkhui cakawna awm kaw.
32 He that rejecteth correction despiseth his own soul; but he that heareth admonition acquireth intelligence.
Toelthamnaak amak haanaak taw ang myihla ak thekhanaak ni, zyihtoelnaak ak haanaak ingtaw zaaksimnaak hu kaw.
33 The fear of the Lord is the correction for wisdom; and before honor there must come humility.
Khawsa kqihchahnaak taw cyihnaak ak cawngpyikungna awm nawh; dungvoengnaak taw kyihcahna awmnaak hly ni.
