Proverbs 11
1 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to YHWH, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.
Kânging hoeh e yawcu teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho teh, kânging e bangnuenae teh a ngai e lah ao.
2 Pride has come, and shame comes, And wisdom [is] with the lowly.
Kâoup navah yeiraiponae ao teh, kârahnoum navah lungangnae ao.
3 The integrity of the upright leads them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroys them.
Tamikalan teh yuemkamcunae ni a hrawi han, hatei, yuemkamcu hoeh e khopouknae niteh amamouh a raphoe han.
4 Wealth does not profit in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivers from death.
Lungkhueknae tueng navah hnopai teh cungkeihoeh, hatei lannae ni teh duenae koehoi a rungngang han.
5 The righteousness of the perfect makes his way right, And by his wickedness the wicked fall.
Lannae ni teh toun kaawm hoeh e naw hah lam kalan a pâtue han, hatei, tamikathoutnaw teh thoenae dawk letlang a rawp awh han.
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured.
Tamikalannaw teh lannae ni a rungngang awh han, hatei, yuemkamcu hoeh e naw teh amamae ngainae dawk a kâman awh han.
7 In the death of a wicked man, hope perishes, And the expectation of the iniquitous has been lost.
Tamikathoutnaw a due awh toteh a ngaihawi awh e puenghai a kahma vaiteh, tamikalanhoehnaw e ngaihawinae puenghai a kahma han.
8 The righteous is drawn out from distress, And the wicked goes in instead of him.
Tamikalan teh runae thung hoi a hlout vaiteh, hote runae teh tamikathoutnaw ni a pang awh han.
9 A hypocrite corrupts his friend with the mouth, And the righteous are drawn out by knowledge.
Cathut ka taket hoeh e niteh, a pahni hoi a imri ouk a raphoe, hatei, tamikalan teh thoumthainae lahoi rungngang lah ao han.
10 A city exults in the good of the righteous, And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing.
Tamikalan ni hawinae a coe navah khobuem a konawm awh, hatei, tamikathout a due toteh a lunghawi awh.
11 By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
Tamikalan ni yawhawi a coe navah khopui hai tawmrasang lah a o, hatei, tamikathoutnaw e pahni ni teh ouk a raphoe.
12 Whoever is despising his neighbor lacks heart, And a man of understanding keeps silence.
Lungangnae ka vout e tami ni teh a imri hah ouk a dudam, hatei, thaipanueknae ka tawn e teh duem ao.
13 A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.
Yuengyoe ka pai ni teh lawk kapap e tami ni hrolawk hah ouk a pâpho, hatei, yuemkamcu e ni teh ouk a hro.
14 Without counsels a people falls, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counselors.
Pouknae kahawi poenae a ohoehnae koe khocanaw ouk a kahma teh, pouknae kahawi poenae apapnae koe teh khocanaw roumnae a coe awh.
15 An evil [one] suffers when he has been guarantor [for] a stranger, And whoever hates striking hands [in agreement] is confident.
Panue hoeh e tami panuesaknae teh a khang han, hatei, lawkpanuesaknae dawk kut tambeinae ka ngai hoeh e teh a hlout han.
16 A gracious woman retains honor, And terrible [men] retain riches.
Pahrennae ka tawn e napui ni barinae a coe, hatei, a thakasai e tongpa ni teh tawntanae a coe.
17 A kind man is rewarding his own soul, And the fierce is troubling his own flesh.
Pahrennae ka tawn e tami ni a hringnae han lah hnokahawi a sak, hatei, tamikathout teh a takthai hanelah runae kapoekung doeh.
18 The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoever is sowing righteousness—a true reward.
Tamikathout ni dumnae phu ouk a hmu awh, hatei, lannae cati katukkungnaw ni tawkphu katang teh a coe awh han.
19 Correctly [is] righteousness for life, And whoever is pursuing evil—for his own death.
Lannae ni hringnae lamthung dawk tami a hrawi e patetlah, thoenae ka sak e ni ouk a duekhai.
20 The perverse of heart are an abomination to YHWH, And the perfect of the way [are] His delight.
Lungthin ka longkawi e teh BAWIPA hanelah panuet a tho, hatei, tamikalan kakuepcingnaw e hringnae teh amamouh letlang lunghawinae doeh.
21 Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous has escaped.
Lungkânging lah ao awh nakunghai, tamikathout teh rek laipalah awm mahoeh. Hatei, tamikalannaw e canaw teh hloutsak lah ao han.
22 A ring of gold in the nose of a sow—A beautiful woman and stubborn of behavior.
A meihawi eiteh pouknae ka tawn hoeh e napui teh, vok hnawng dawk suikuthrawt bang pouh e patetlah doeh ao.
23 The desire of the righteous [is] only good, The hope of the wicked [is] transgression.
Tamikalan ni ngainae teh hawinae dueng doeh, hatei, tamikathout ni a ring e teh lungkhueknae dueng doeh.
24 There is [one] who is scattering, and yet is increased, And [one] who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
Thouk ka poe e teh, thouk a tawnta, hatei moikapap a pâkhueng eiteh, ka mathoe e tami hai ao.
25 A liberal soul is made fat, And whoever is watering, he also is watered.
Hring ka pasoung e teh tawnta sak lah ao han. Ayâ tui ka awi e teh ama hai tui awi lah ao han.
26 Whoever is withholding grain, the people execrate him, And a blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling.
Cakang ka haw e tami teh ayâ ni thoe a bo han. hatei, kayawtkung koe teh yawhawinae ao han.
27 Whoever is earnestly seeking good Seeks a pleasing thing, And whoever is seeking evil—it meets him.
Hawinae ka tawng katang e ni barinae a coe han. hatei, thoenae ka tawng koe teh runae a pha han.
28 Whoever is confident in his wealth falls, And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.
Hnopai kâuep e teh a rawp han, hatei tamikalan teh phokung patetlah dikhring han.
29 Whoever is troubling his own house inherits wind, And the fool [is] a servant to the wise of heart.
Ma e imthung runae ka poe e ni a coe e râw teh kahlî lah ao vaiteh, tamipathu teh a lungkaangnaw koe san lah ao han.
30 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, And whoever is taking souls [is] wise.
Tamikalannaw e a paw teh hringnae thing paw lah ao teh, muitha ka man e teh tami a lungkaang e doeh.
31 Behold, the righteous is repaid in the earth, Surely also the wicked and the sinner!
Tamikalan patenghai talai van reknae khang pawiteh, cathutlaipa e hoi tamikayon teh banghloimaw hoe a khang han vai.
