Proverbs 10
1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causes a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.
Solomon ak awicyih taw: capa ak cyi ing pa ak kaw zeel sak nawh, capa ak qaw ing nu ak kaw seet sak hy.
2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit, And righteousness delivers from death.
Amak thyymna khawhtheem huh ing phu am ta nawh, dyyngnaak ingtaw thihnaak awhkawng hul hy.
3 YHWH does not cause the soul of the righteous to hunger, And He thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Thlakdyng ce Bawipa ing buh am lum sak nawh, amak dyng thlang ang sytnaak ce plaltham sak kaw.
4 Poor [is] he who is working [with] a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent makes rich.
Thakdam kut ing thlang khawdeng sak nawh, thlangmeet kut ing thlang boei sak hy.
5 Whoever is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoever is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
Cangah huiawh aawk ai ak cun ak thlang taw capa ak cyina awm nawh, cangah huiawh ak ip dutdut ak thlang taw thangseet ak pe capa ni.
6 Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Thlakdyng a luawh zoseennaak awm nawh, thlakche am khaaawh boeseetnaak ing bee hy.
7 The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked rots.
Thlakdyng siimnaak taw zoseennaakna awm nawh, thlakche ming taw tlawihzip kaw.
8 The wise in heart accepts commands, And a talkative fool kicks.
Thlakcyi ingtaw ak kawlung ing awipek khqi ce do nawh, thlakqaw ingtaw plamtham sak hy.
9 Whoever is walking in integrity walks confidently, And whoever is perverting his ways is known.
Dyng nawh ak thyy lamawh ak cet thlang taw a lam cet dyng nawh, cehlai, lam ak kaawiawh ak cet thlang taw pholang ngai kaw.
10 Whoever is winking the eye gives grief, And a talkative fool kicks.
Mik ingawh ak mikhqihkhqi ing seetnaak pha sak nawh, thlakqaw awihpungkhqi ing tlu kawm uh.
11 A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Thlakdyng am laaiawh hqingnaak tui lawng nawh, cehlai thlakche am khaaawh amak leek them ing bee hy.
12 Hatred awakens contentions, And love covers over all transgressions.
Sawhnaak ing kqeengnaak pha sak nawh, lungnaak ingtaw seetnaak boeih ce hlipdah khoep hy.
13 Wisdom is found in the lips of the intelligent, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
Ak che ak leek ak hqimhqaa thai am khaaawh cyihnaak ce dang nawh; cehlai ak che ak leek amak hqimhqaa thai am tingawh cumcik awm hy.
14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.
Thlakcyikhqi ing cyihnaak ce cun nawh; thlakqaw am khaa ing thihnaak zoe sak hy.
15 The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
Mangpa a khawhkham taw a khawkkhui chungnaak vawng na awm hy, cehlai khawdengnaak taw ak khawdeng khqi hamna patangnaak na awm hy.
16 The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
Thlakdyng a bibi phu ing hqingnaak pha sak nawh, amak dyng thlang ingtaw toelthamnaak pha sak hy.
17 A traveler to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoever is forsaking rebuke is erring.
Toelthamnaak awi ak ngai ing hqingnaak lamawh cet nawh, toelthamnaak awi amak ngai ingtaw lam hang hy.
18 Whoever is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoever is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
Thlang sawhnaak ak thuhphah ing thailatnaak ak awi kqawnnaak hui toen nawh thlang lakawh thlang ak theet thlang taw thlakqaw ni.
19 In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, And whoever is restraining his lips [is] wise.
Awi a doem naak awh hqo tho nawh, ak awi ak cyyp ak thlang taw thakcyi ni.
20 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked—as a little thing.
Thlakdyng ak awi taw ak tlo soeih ngun ing myih nawh, thlakche ak kawlung taw huham amak taa ing myih hy.
21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools die for lack of heart.
Thlakdyng a hui am lai ing thlang khawzah cawmcah nawh, thlakqaw ingtaw simthainaak khawdeng nawh thi hy.
22 The blessing of YHWH—it makes rich, And He adds no grief with it.
Bawipa a zoseennaak ing boeimang sak nawh, patangnaak am tawmsap hy.
23 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
Thlakqaw ingtaw theem amak leek sainaak awh awmhly nawh, thlakcyi ingtaw cyihnaak awh awmhly hy.
24 The feared thing of the wicked meets him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
Thlakqaw taw kqihnaak ing zawlkhoep kawm saw, thlankdyng taw ang syt boeih pekna awm kaw.
25 As the passing by of a windstorm, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a perpetual foundation.
Amak dyng thlang khqi taw khawhlii ing zaawn khqi saw qeeng boeih kawm uh. Thlakdyng taw kumqui ak cak lungnu amyihna dyi poepa kaw.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
Thlang thakdam taw haa ak zaa sak misur tui ak thui ingkaw mik ak thiip sak maikhu amyihna, ak tyi khqi hamna awm kaw.
27 The fear of YHWH adds days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
Bawipa kqihchahnaak ing khawkum sang sak kawm saw, cehlai thlang amak leek khqi khawkum taw tawi sakna awm kaw.
28 The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perishes.
Thlakdyngkhqi a ngaih-uunaak taw awmhlynaak na awm nawh, amak dyng thlangkhqi ang ngaih-uunaak taw a hqawngna coeng kaw.
29 The way of YHWH [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
Bawipa a lampyi taw thlakdyngkhqi ham thukzingnaak na awm nawh, theem amak leek ak saikhqi ham taw thihnaak ni.
30 The righteous is not moved for all time, And the wicked do not inhabit the earth.
thlakdyngkhqi taw thoengna am awm kawm usaw, amak dyng thlangkhqi taw khawmdek awh am khawsa kawm uh.
31 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And the tongue of contrariness is cut out.
Thlakdyng am khak khui awhkawng cyihnaak thoeng law nawh, amak leek theem ak saikhqi am lai taw qeet pekna awm kaw.
32 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
Thlakdyngkhqi am khaaawh ai kawi cawn nawh, khawsak amak leek am khaaawh amak leek them doeng cawn poepa hy.
