< 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 e cingthuilawk: Capa a lungkaang e ni teh, a na pa a lunghawi sak. Hatei, capa ka pathu e teh, a manu lung ka mathout sakkung doeh.
2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit, And righteousness delivers from death.
Thoenae lahoi pâkhueng e hnopai teh, hawinae awmhoeh. Hatei, lannae ni teh duenae koehoi a rungngang.
3 YHWH does not cause the soul of the righteous to hunger, And He thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
BAWIPA ni tamikalannaw a pasai teh, tamikathoutnaw ngainae hah a tâkhawng pouh.
4 Poor [is] he who is working [with] a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent makes rich.
Pangaknae ni mathoenae a tâco sak teh, hratbatnae ni tawntanae a tâcokhai.
5 Whoever is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoever is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.
Kawmpoi tueng navah rawca ka pâkhueng e teh, a lungkaang e capa doeh. Canga lahun nah ka ip e capa teh yeirai ka po sakkung doeh.
6 Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Tamikalan lû dawk yawhawinae ao teh, tamikathoutnaw e pahni teh rektapnae hoi akawi.
7 The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked rots.
Tamikalannaw pahnimhoehnae heh yawhawinae lah ao han. Hatei, tamikathoutnaw e min teh a pawk han.
8 The wise in heart accepts commands, And a talkative fool kicks.
Tami lungkaang ni teh kâpoelawknaw a lungthin hoi a dâw, hatei, a lawk kapap e tamipathu teh a rawp han.
9 Whoever is walking in integrity walks confidently, And whoever is perverting his ways is known.
Lannae lahoi ka cet e tami teh karoumcalah a cei, hatei lam longkawi ka dawn e teh panue lah ao han.
10 Whoever is winking the eye gives grief, And a talkative fool kicks.
Mit cumasipnae ni lungmathoenae a tâco sak, lawk kapap e tamipathu teh a rawk han.
11 A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked covers violence.
Tamikalan e pahni teh hringnae tuiphuek doeh. Hatei, tami kahawihoehnaw e pahni teh moikainae ni a ramuk.
12 Hatred awakens contentions, And love covers over all transgressions.
Hmuhmanae ni kâpohoehnae a tâco sak. Hatei, lungpatawnae niteh, yonnae pueng a ramuk pouh.
13 Wisdom is found in the lips of the intelligent, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
Thaipanueknae ka tawn e pahni dawk lungangnae hah hmu e lah a o, hatei, hemnae bongpai teh thaipanueknae ka tawn hoeh e a hnukthun vah a bo.
14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.
Tami a lungkaangnaw niteh, thoumthainae heh a pâkhueng awh, hatei, tamipathu e pahni niteh, rawknae hah a hnai.
15 The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
Tami katawntanaw hanelah teh, a tawntanae hah ka cak e khopui lah ao teh, tamimathoenaw rawknae teh, a mathoenae doeh.
16 The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
Tamikalan thaw tawknae ni hringnae a tâcokhai teh, tamikathoutnaw e tawkphu teh, thoe khangnae hah doeh.
17 A traveler to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoever is forsaking rebuke is erring.
Cangkhainae ka tarawi e teh, hringnae lamthung dawk ao. Hatei, yuenae ka ek e teh, lamthung ka phen e doeh.
18 Whoever is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoever is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
Hmuhmanae hah laithoe deinae pahni hoi ka ramuk e tami, ayâ min mathoe nahanelah ka dei e tami teh tamipathu doeh.
19 In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, And whoever is restraining his lips [is] wise.
Lawk pap pawiteh, payon e hai a pap. Hatei, a pahni ka cakuep e tami teh tami a lungkaang e doeh.
20 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked—as a little thing.
Tamikalan e lai teh, kahawi e ngun patetlah ao teh, tamikathout e lungthin teh aphu awm hoeh.
21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools die for lack of heart.
Tamikalan e pahni ni tami moikapap a kawk. Hatei, tamipathu teh lungangnae a vout dawkvah a due.
22 The blessing of YHWH—it makes rich, And He adds no grief with it.
BAWIPA yawhawinae ni tami a tawnta sak teh, lungmathoenae thokhai boihoeh.
23 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
Tamipathu hanelah teh, yonnae sak e heh a nawmnae lah a coung. Hatei, thaipanueknae ka tawn e niteh, lungangnae a tawn.
24 The feared thing of the wicked meets him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
Tamikathout teh a taki e patetlah a lathueng a pha vaiteh, tamikalan teh a ngai e hah poe lah ao han.
25 As the passing by of a windstorm, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a perpetual foundation.
Bongparui a kâkaven toteh, tamikathoutnaw teh a kahma han. Hatei, tamikalan ni teh a yungyoe adu hungnae a tawn.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
Tami pangak patoun e teh, misurtui kathut e ni hah a kip sak e hoi, hmaikhu ni mit a ut e patetlah doeh ao.
27 The fear of YHWH adds days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
BAWIPA takinae ni hringyung a saw sak, hatei, tamikathout e hringyung teh duem sak lah ao han.
28 The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perishes.
Tamikalan ni ngaihawi e teh lunghawinae lah ao, hatei, tamikathout e ngaihawinae teh a kahma han.
29 The way of YHWH [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
Tamikalan hanelah BAWIPA e lamthung teh thaonae doeh. Hatei, thoenae ka sak e teh, rawkkahmanae koe a pha han.
30 The righteous is not moved for all time, And the wicked do not inhabit the earth.
Tamikalan teh hmuen dawk hoi nâtuek hai puen lah awm mahoeh. Hatei, tamikathoutnaw ni talai heh onae lah hno awh mahoeh
31 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And the tongue of contrariness is cut out.
Tamikalan e pahni ni lungangnae a tâcokhai, hatei ka longkawi e lai teh, tâtueng pouh lah ao han.
32 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
Tamikalan e pahni ni ngai kawi e hno hah a panue, hatei tamikathout e pahni niteh, kâtarannae lawk doeh ouk a dei.
