Proverbs 28
1 Every wicked fleeth when no man pursueth; but the righteous are like the confident young lion.
Thlakche taw ahu am hqut u seiawm cen kaw. Thlakdyng taw samthyn amyihna am thin awm kaw.
2 When there is transgression in a land, it hath many for its princes; but under a man of understanding and knowledge [its] prosperity will long continue.
Qam khuiawh qaal a thawhawh, ukkung khawzah awm hy, cehlai khaw ak poek thai ingkaw cyihnaak ak taa thlang ingtaw ak dingna qam uk hy.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the indigent is like a sweeping rain which bringeth no bread.
Khawdengkhqi ak thekhanaak ukkung taw tawi an amak tawi sak qawh tui ing myih hy.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as observe the law contend with them.
A lawngim ak cehtaakkhqi ing thlakche kyihcah unawh, cehlai a lawngim amyihna khaw ak sakhqi ingtaw oelh uhy.
5 Bad men understand not justice; but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
Thlang amak leek ing ik-oeih ak dyng am sim thai uhy, cehlai Bawipa ak sui thlangkhqi ingtaw ak soep cana sim thai uhy.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
Amak thymna khaw ak sa kuiqang lakawh caawt kawi amak awmna khawksa khawdeng leek bet hy.
7 Whoso keepeth the law is an intelligent son; but he that is a companion of gluttons bringeth dishonor on his father.
A lawngim amyihna khaw ak sa thai thlang taw khaw ak poek thai capak cyihna awm hy, cehlai aawk ai ak kamva ak pyinaak capa ingtaw a pa chah pyih sak hy.
8 He that increaseth his wealth by interest and usury will gather it for him that will be kind to the poor.
A pung khawzah lawhnaak ing boei nawh thlang hamna them khawzah ak cun thlang taw, khawdengkhqi ak qeenkung na awm hy.
9 When one turneth away his ear so as not to listen to the law, even his prayer becometh an abomination.
U awm a lawngim benna haa amak keeng thlang taw, ak cykcahnaak awm tuih ak cu ni.
10 Whoso causeth the upright to go astray on an evil way, will surely fall into his own ditch; but the men of integrity will inherit what is good.
Thlakdyng, lam amak leekawh ak ceh pyi taw amah a vaam cawh nawn awh tla kaw, cehlai thlak soep coet amak kap ingtaw qo leek pang kawm uh.
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the indigent that hath understanding can search him through.
Kuiqang thlang ing amah ngaih awh thlakcyi na ngai qu mai seiawm, thlak khawdeng khawkpoek thai ingtaw ak ceetna huh pe hy.
12 When the righteous exult, there is great splendor; but when the wicked rise up, a man hath to be sought for.
Thlakdyng ing noengnaak a huhawh kyihcahnaak ak sang soeih pe uhy; cehlai thlakche a boei awh thlangkhqi ing thuk taak uhy.
13 He that concealeth his transgressions will not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them will obtain mercy.
A thawlh ak thuhphah ak thlang ing qeennaak am ham kawm saw, a thawlhnaak pho sak nawh qeennaak ak thoeh ing qeennaak hu kaw.
14 Happy is the man that always dreadeth [to do evil]; but he that hardeneth his heart will fall into unhappiness.
Bawipa ak kqihcah poe taw thlang zoseen ni, am thin ak sah ak thlang taw kyinaak sawng kaw.
15 As a roaring lion, and a greedy bear, so is a wicked ruler over an indigent people.
Khawdeng ak thekhanaak ukkung taw samthyyn ak kaawk ingkaw phawm ak tlung ing myih hy.
16 The prince that is void of understanding is also a great oppressor; [but] he that hateth unjust gain will prolong his days.
Khawkpoek thainaak amak ta ukkung taw thlang ak phep qeekung ni, amak thymna them huh ak sawhnaak thlang taw a hqinglung saang kaw.
17 A man oppressed by the load of having shed human blood will flee even to the pit: let no man hold him.
A kutawh thlang thi ak lawng lawkkhqawng dungawh tla kawm saw, u ingawm koeh hul seh nyng.
18 Whoso walketh in integrity will be saved; but he that walketh perversely on two paths, will fall on one.
U awm ak thymna khawksa taw loet sakna awm kawm saw, amak thymna khawksa taw tlu poe kaw.
19 He that tilleth his ground will have plenty of bread; but he that runneth after idle persons will have enough of poverty.
A loawh bi ak bi ing aawk ai khawzah hu kaw, cehlai a nawmnaak doeng ak sui thlang taw khawdeng kaw.
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
Thlak ypawm ing zoseennaak hu kawm saw, cehlai boei ak ngaih aih taw a phep kaana am hlah kawm uh.
21 To have respect to persons is not good; because even for a piece of bread will a man transgress.
Thlang mikhai toek am leek hy, cehlai phaipi cun oet mai ing thlang ing thawlh sai thai hy.
22 He that is eager for wealth is a man of an evil eye, and he knoweth not that want will come upon him.
Thlakqu ing them hu hquut nawh, ak khan-awh khawdengnaak a pha law hly am sim hy.
23 He that reproveth a man after [my example] will obtain more grace than he that flattereth with the tongue.
Awih leek ing anik kyihcahna ak saa qu thlang lakawh anik toelthamkung ing a huna kyihcahnaak hu kaw.
24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, it is no transgression, —the same is a companion of a destroyer.
A nu pa a them muk nawh, “Am poei hy,” ak ti taw thlang ak plam sakkung ni.
25 He that hath an insatiable desire stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord will be abundantly gratified.
Ak kamvaa a awmnaak awh phekbonaak awm nawh, Bawipa ak ypnaak taw thlang zoseen ni.
26 He that trusteth in his own sense is a fool; but whoso walketh in wisdom, will ever escape.
Ak poeknaak awh ak hanng ak thlang taw thlakqaw na awm nawh, cehlai cyihnaak awh ak cet taw thlang zoseen ni.
27 He that giveth unto the poor will not have any want; but he that hideth his eyes will have an abundance of curses.
Khawdeng them ak pe taw am khawdeng kawm saw, ak hawimang taak taw quun khy pekna awm kaw.
28 When the wicked rise, men conceal themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Thlakche a boei awh thlak boei ing thuk taak nawh, cehlai thlakche a thih awh thlakdyngkhqi pung uhy.
