< 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 thuchih ho: Chapa chingin apa aki pasah jin; Chapa ngol vang anu ding in lungkham na bep ahi.
2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit, And righteousness delivers from death.
Gitlouna le engset jeh’a kilamdoh gouchu phat chompi thei ahipon, hinlah chondih nahin hinkho jeng jong ahuhdoh jin ahi.
3 YHWH does not cause the soul of the righteous to hunger, And He thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
