Proverbs 11
1 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to YHWH, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.
Hlangthai palat kah cooi te BOEIPA kah tueilaehkoi tih, coilung a thuem te a kolonah la om.
2 Pride has come, and shame comes, And wisdom [is] with the lowly.
Althanah ha pawk vaengah yah khaw thoeng, tedae cueihnah tah kodo nen ni ha pawk.
3 The integrity of the upright leads them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroys them.
Aka thuem rhoek kah muelhtuetnah loh amamih te a mawt tih, hnukpoh rhoek kah a saveknah loh amamih te a rhoelrhak la a rhoelrhak sak.
4 Wealth does not profit in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivers from death.
A thinpom khohnin ah tah a boeirhaeng nen khaw hoeikhang pawt vetih, duengnah long ni dueknah lamloh a huul eh.
5 The righteousness of the perfect makes his way right, And by his wickedness the wicked fall.
Duengnah long tah a longpuei te cuemthuek la a dueng sak tih, halang te a a halangnah loh a cungku sak.
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured.
Aka dueng rhoek tah duengnah loh a huul tih, hnukpoh rhoek tah talnah loh a tuuk.
7 In the death of a wicked man, hope perishes, And the expectation of the iniquitous has been lost.
Halang hlang kah dueknah dongah ngaiuepnah khaw moelh tih, thahuem kah ngaiuepnah khaw tahah.
8 The righteous is drawn out from distress, And the wicked goes in instead of him.
Aka dueng tah citcai lamkah khaw pumcum tih anih yueng la halang taengla a pawk pah.
9 A hypocrite corrupts his friend with the mouth, And the righteous are drawn out by knowledge.
Lailak kah a ka loh a hui a phae tih aka dueng kah mingnah rhangneh pumcum uh.
10 A city exults in the good of the righteous, And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing.
Aka dueng kah thennah dongah ni khorha loh sundaep thil tih halang a milh vaengah tamlung a lohuh.
11 By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
Aka thuem rhoek kah yoethennah loh vangpuei a pomsang tih, halang kah a ka longtah a koengloeng.
12 Whoever is despising his neighbor lacks heart, And a man of understanding keeps silence.
Lungbuei aka talh loh a hui te a hnoel a rhoeng dae lungcuei hlang long tah hil a phah.
13 A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.
Caemtuh a caeh vaengah baecenol te a hliphen tih mueihla ah tangnah koila aka om long tah olka a tuem.
14 Without counsels a people falls, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counselors.
A niing a tal dongah pilnam cungku tih, uentonah a yet nen ni loeihnah a om.
15 An evil [one] suffers when he has been guarantor [for] a stranger, And whoever hates striking hands [in agreement] is confident.
Kholong loh rhi a khang atah boethae loh thae a huet ni, Tedae kutyuh aka hnoel tah a pangtung uh.
16 A gracious woman retains honor, And terrible [men] retain riches.
Huta mikdaithen loh thangpomnah te a moem tih, hlanghaeng loh khuehtawn a koi ni.
17 A kind man is rewarding his own soul, And the fierce is troubling his own flesh.
Sitlohnah aka khueh hlang loh a hinglu khaw a phai dae muenying muenyang loh a pumsa a lawn khoeng.
18 The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoever is sowing righteousness—a true reward.
Halang loh a honghi khaw thaphu la a saii tih, duengnah cangti aka tuh longtah oltak kutphu te a doe.
19 Correctly [is] righteousness for life, And whoever is pursuing evil—for his own death.
Duengnah tah hingnah la pawk tih, boethae aka hloem khaw a dueknah ham ni.
20 The perverse of heart are an abomination to YHWH, And the perfect of the way [are] His delight.
Lungbuei a voeldak tah BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, cuemthuek longpuei tah a kolonah la om.
21 Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous has escaped.
Kut sokah kut pataeng boethae a hmil moenih, tedae aka dueng kah tiingan tah loeih ni.
22 A ring of gold in the nose of a sow—A beautiful woman and stubborn of behavior.
Sakthen nu khaw omih aka phaelh tah ok hnarhong dongkah sui hnaii banghui ni.
23 The desire of the righteous [is] only good, The hope of the wicked [is] transgression.
Aka dueng rhoek long tah a then ngaiuepnah bueng ni a ngaihlihnah tih halang rhoek long tah thinpom a khueh.
24 There is [one] who is scattering, and yet is increased, And [one] who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
A khueh duen te a tael tih koep a koei pah, hloh malcal khaw tloelnah la om sumsoek.
25 A liberal soul is made fat, And whoever is watering, he also is watered.
yoethennah hinglu loh a doedan vetih, a tulcah dongah amah te khaw a suep van ni.
26 Whoever is withholding grain, the people execrate him, And a blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling.
Cangpai aka hloh te namtu loh a tap tih aka hlah te tah a lu ah yoethennah loh a vuei.
27 Whoever is earnestly seeking good Seeks a pleasing thing, And whoever is seeking evil—it meets him.
A then aka toem loh kolonah a tlap tih, boethae aka tlap tah amah a thoeng thil.
28 Whoever is confident in his wealth falls, And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.
A khuehtawn dongah aka pangtung tah cungku vetih aka dueng rhoek tah thinghnah bangla boe ni.
29 Whoever is troubling his own house inherits wind, And the fool [is] a servant to the wise of heart.
A imkhui aka lawn tah khohli a pang vetih, aka ang khaw lungbuei aka cueih taengah sal la om ni.
30 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, And whoever is taking souls [is] wise.
Aka dueng kah a thaih tah hingnah thingkung la om tih, hinglu aka tuek ni aka cueih.
31 Behold, the righteous is repaid in the earth, Surely also the wicked and the sinner!
Aka dueng pataeng diklai dongah a thuung atah halang neh laihmu aisat te a thuung ni ta.
