Proverbs 28
1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer, And the righteous is confident as a young lion.
Halang tah a hloem pawt akhaw rhaelrham khing. Tedae aka dueng tah sathueng bangla amah pangtung uh.
2 By the transgression of a land its heads are many, And by an understanding man, Who knows right—it is prolonged.
Khohmuen kah boekoek dongah mangpa la yet dae, aka yakming hlang long tah a ming dongah a ram a pai sak.
3 A man—poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
Hlang he khodaeng loh tattloel patoeng a hnaemtaek he khaw, khotlan loh bet a kawt tih buh a om pawt bangla om.
4 Those forsaking the Law praise the wicked, Those keeping the Law plead against them.
Olkhueng aka hnoo rhoek loh halang te a thangthen uh. Tedae olkhueng aka tuem long tah amih te a huek.
5 Evil men do not understand judgment, And those seeking YHWH understand all.
Hlang thae rhoek loh tiktamnah te yakming uh pawt dae, BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek loh boeih a yakming uh.
6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
A thincaknah neh aka pongpa khodaeng he, longpuei kawnvoi dongkah hlanglen lakah then.
7 Whoever is keeping the Law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons Causes his father to blush.
Olkhueng aka kueinah capa long tah a yakming dae, carhut neh aka luem loh a napa kah hmai a thae sak.
8 Whoever is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, Gathers it for one favoring the poor.
A casai a puehkan neh a boeirhaeng aka tom long khaw, tattloel aka rhen ham ni a puehkan la a coi pah coeng.
9 Whoever is turning his ear from hearing the Law, Even his prayer [is] an abomination.
Olkhueng a yaak lalah a hna tlap tlap aka khong tah, a thangthuinah khaw tueilaehkoi la om.
10 Whoever is causing the upright to err in an evil way, He falls into his own pit, And the perfect inherits good.
Aka thuem te longpuei thae la aka palang sak tah cakhom ah amah lah cungku ni. Tedae cuemthuek rhoek long tah hnothen a pang uh ni.
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searches him.
Hlanglen pa he a mikhmuh ah amah aka cueih koek la ngai uh dae, tattloel long khaw aka yakming long tah anih te a khe.
12 In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
Aka dueng rhoek a sundaep vaengah muep boeimang tangloeng dae, halang rhoek a thoh vaengah tah hlang loh a thuh tak.
13 Whoever is covering his transgressions does not prosper, And he who is confessing and forsaking has mercy.
A boekoek aka phah he a thaihtak moenih. Tedae aka phoe tih aka hnoo tah a haidam.
14 O the blessedness of a man fearing continually, And whoever is hardening his heart falls into evil.
Aka rhih yoeyah hlang tah a yoethen dae, a lungbuei aka mangkhak loh boethae khuila cungku.
15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, [Is] the wicked ruler over a poor people.
Halang loh a taemrhai vaengah pilnam tattloel te sathueng bangla a nguel thil tih vom bangla cu.
16 A leader lacking understanding multiplies oppressions, Whoever is hating dishonest gain prolongs days.
A lungcuei aka talh rhaengsang tah tlungalnah yet. Mueluemnah aka hmuhuet la aka hmuhuet tah a hinglung vang ni.
17 A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Flees to the pit, [and] none takes hold on him [to help].
Hinglu kah thii neh hlang aka hnaemtaek hlang tah vaam khuila rhaelrham cakhaw, anih te duel mahpawh.
18 Whoever is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falls at once.
Cuemthuek la aka pongpa tah daem tih, longpuei aka kawn sak tah vaikhat lam ni a cungku eh.
19 Whoever is tilling his ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoever is pursuing vanity, Is filled [with] poverty.
Amah khohmuen aka tawn tah caak khaw kum ni. Tedae a hoenghoep bueng aka hloem tah khodaeng la hah ni.
20 A steadfast man has multiplied blessings, And whoever is hastening to be rich is not acquitted.
Uepomnah hlang kah yoethennah tah yet. Tedae boei hamla aka tanolh khaw hmil mahpawh.
21 [It] is not good to discern faces, And a man transgresses for a piece of bread.
Maelhmai a loha khaw then pawh. Tedae buh kamat dongah ni hlang loh boe a koek.
22 The man [with] an evil eye [is] troubled for wealth, And he does not know that want meets him.
Hlang moeithae loh boeirhaeng dongah ngawn tah hlawt let dae, vaitahnah loh anih a thoeng thil te ming pawh.
23 Whoever is reproving a man finds grace afterward, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
Hlang aka tluung he a hnukah tah a lai aka hnal lakah, mikdaithen la om.
24 Whoever is robbing his father or his mother, And is saying, “It is not transgression,” He is a companion to a destroyer.
A manu neh a napa a rheth lalah boekoek pawt la aka thui tah, kut aka yook ham hlang kah a pueipo la om.
25 Whoever is proud in soul stirs up contention, And whoever is trusting on YHWH is made fat.
Mungkung kah hinglu long tah olpungkacan a huek. Tedae BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung ni a hoeikhang eh.
26 Whoever is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoever is walking in wisdom is delivered.
Amah kah lungbuei dongah aka pangtung tah amah te ang coeng. Tedae cueihnah dongah aka pongpa tah amah khaw hlawt uh.
27 Whoever is giving to the poor has no lack, And whoever is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.
Khodaeng taengah aka pae tah a tloelnah om pawh. Tedae a mik aka him tah tapvoepnah muep kum.
28 A man is hidden in the rising of the wicked, And the righteous multiply in their destruction!
Halang rhoek a thoh vaengah hlang loh a thuh tak. Tedae a milh vaengah aka dueng rhoek khaw pul.
