Proverbs 12
1 Whoever is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, And whoever is hating reproof [is] brutish.
Toelthamnaak ak lungnaak ing simnaak ce lungna nawh, zyihtoelnaak ak sawhnaak taw qamsa ing myih hy.
2 The good brings forth favor from YHWH, And the man of wicked schemes He condemns.
Thlakdyng ing Bawipa kawzeelnaak hu nawh, theem amak leek ak sai ing Bawipa kawsonaak zaawk kaw.
3 A man is not established by wickedness, And the root of the righteous is not moved.
Thlanghqing ve seet sainaak ing am cak sak nawh, thlakdyng ang dyih hyn taw cak kaw.
4 A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband, And as rottenness in his bones [is] one causing shame.
Khawsak ak leek nu taw a vaa ham boei lumykna awm nawh, chahnaak kawi theem ak saipyi taw a vaa quh ak haawn sak ni.
5 The thoughts of the righteous [are] justice, The counsels of the wicked—deceit.
Thlakdyng ak khawpoeknaak taw leek nawh, thlakche ak khawpoeknaak taw thailatnaak ni.
6 The words of the wicked [are]: “Lay [in] wait for blood,” And the mouth of the upright delivers them.
Thlakche ak awi ing thlang thi ang lawng hly qeh nawh, thlakdyng ak awi ingtaw amah loet sak hy.
7 Overthrow the wicked, and they are not, And the house of the righteous stands.
Khawsak amak leekkhqi taw khaawngna awm kawm saw qeeng kawm uh, thlakdyng a ipkhui taw ak cakna dyi poe kaw.
8 A man is praised according to his wisdom, And the perverted of heart becomes despised.
Thlang a cyihtaak amyihna kyihcahna awm kawm saw, kawpoek amak leek thlang taw thlang ing hep kaw.
9 Better [is] the lightly esteemed who has a servant, Than the self-honored who lacks bread.
Kawpoek saang toen nawh aikawi amak ta ang lakawh, kawpoek neem nawh ikawm amak ta tamnaa taak ve leek ngai hy.
10 The righteous knows the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
Thladyng ingtaw a qamsaa ai kawi ce poek nawh, cehlai, thlakqaw am qeennaak ak saang soeih taw thekhanaak ni.
11 Whoever is tilling the ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoever is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,
A lo awh bi ak bii thlang ingtaw ai kawi khawzah ta nawh, a naawmnaak ak sui thlang ingtaw cyihnaak am ta hy.
12 The wicked has desired the net of evildoers, And the root of the righteous gives.
Khawsak amak leekkhqi ing thlakchekhqi a lawk nai unawh, thlakdyngkhqi a zung taw cak poepa hy.
13 The snare of the wicked [is] in transgression of the lips, And the righteous goes out from distress.
Thlangthawlh taw amah ak awi awh aawk nawh, thlakdyng taw kyinaak awhkawng loet kaw.
14 One [is] satisfied [with] good from the fruit of the mouth, And the deed of man’s hands returns to him.
Thlang am lai thaih ing themleek bee sak nawh, amah a bii phu ing ak tingna pekna awm kaw.
15 The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, And whoever is listening to counsel [is] wise.
Thlakqaw ing amah mik huhawh a lam thyym sak hy, cehlai thlakcyi ingtaw thlak awi ngai hy.
16 The fool—his anger is known in a day, And the prudent is covering shame.
Thlakqaw ing ak kawsonaak pho sak pahoei nawh, thlakcyi ingtaw chah kawi ce thuhphah hy.
17 Whoever utters faithfulness declares righteousness, And a false witness—deceit.
Awihthyym ak kqawn ing ypawmnaak dang sak nawh, amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw thlangthai palat ni.
18 A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
Poek kaana awi tinaak ing cimcamyihna thlang sun nawh, thlakcyi ak awi ing thlang qoei sak hy.
19 The lip of truth is established forever, And a tongue of falsehood for a moment.
Hui ak thyym taw kumquina cak sakna awm kawm saw, qaai awi kqawn taw kawlhkalh ca ham ni.
20 Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, But for counselors of peace—joy.
Them amak leek ak poekkhqi kawlungawh thailatnaak awm nawh, qoepnaak ak sai khqi hamna taw zeelmangnaak ni.
21 No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.
Thlakdyng ak khanawh amak leek them ing am pha kawm saw, khawsak amak leekkhqi cetaw amak leek them ingawh bee kawm uh.
22 Lying lips [are] an abomination to YHWH, And steadfast doers [are] his delight.
Qaai ak kqawn am lai taw Bawipa ing sawh na nawh, ak thyymna ak khawsakhqi taw Bawipa ing ym khqi hy.
23 A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaims folly.
Thlakcyi ing cyihnaak thuh nawh. Thlakqaw kawlung ingtaw qawnaak dang sak hy.
24 The hand of the diligent rules, And slothfulness becomes tributary.
Thlak meetkhqi kut ing thlang uk kawm saw, thlang thakdamkhqi taw tamnaa bibinaak ing dyt kaw.
25 Sorrow in the heart of a man bows down, And a good word makes him glad.
Lyynaak kawlung ing thlang patang sak nawh, awih leek ing thlang awmhly sak hy.
26 The righteous searches his companion, And the way of the wicked causes them to err.
Thlakdyng taw a imceng ham hquikungna awm nawh, khawsak amak leekkhqi ing kqeeng-naak pha sak hy.
27 The slothful does not roast his game, And the wealth of a diligent man is precious.
Thaa ak ngak ing a qamsaa kah saa am keuh hy, cehlai thaa ak meet ing a taak khawh khui awhkaw lo nawh thlang pe hy.
28 In the path of righteousness [is] life, And in the way of [that] path [is] no death!
Dyngnaak lamawh hqingnaak awm nawh, ce lamawh thihnaak am awm hy.
