Proverbs 29
1 He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.
Voutsout yue eiteh a lahuen ka patak sak e tami teh, hawinae awm laipalah hmawi a rawk han.
2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
Tamikalan ni kâtawnnae a tawn toteh tamimaya a konawm awh, hatei tamikathout ni a uk navah tamimaya a cingou awh.
3 Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
Lungangnae ka ngai e ni a na pa a konawm sak, hatei kâyawt e hoi kamyawng e tami ni a hnopai koung a pâbaw.
4 The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.
Siangpahrang ni lawkcengnae lahoi ram a caksak, hatei tadawnghno ni ram a rawk sak.
5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
A imri laithoe lahoi ka oup e teh a khok kâman nahanlah tamlawk a yangda pouh.
6 An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad.
Kâtapoenae ni tamikathout a man, hatei tamikalan teh la sak lahoi a lunghawi.
7 The righteous is concerned about justice for the poor. The wicked does not understand the concern.
Tamikalan ni tamimathoe hanlah a pouk, hatei tamikathout ni teh banglahai noutna hoeh.
8 Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
Kadudamnaw ni khopui hmai a sawi, hatei tamilungkaang ni teh lungkhueknae a takhoe thai.
9 If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
Tamilungkaang ni tamipathu hoi kâyue pawiteh, tamipathu a panui hai thoseh, a lungphuen hai thoseh banglahai tho hoeh.
10 The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity; and they seek the life of the upright.
Tami kathetnaw ni tamikalan a hmuhma awh, tamikalan teh hawinae hah a tawng.
11 A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.
Tamipathu ni a pouk e pueng hah a dei, hatei tamilungkaang ni teh a panguep.
12 If a ruler listens to lies, all of his officials are wicked.
Ukkung ni laithoe dei e banghai nahoeh tet pawiteh, a sannaw pueng teh tamikathout lah koung a coung awh.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: Jehovah gives sight to the eyes of both.
Tamimathoe hoi repcoungroenaw ni cungtalah a hmawng e teh, BAWIPA ni a mit reirei a ang sak.
14 The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
Atangcalah tamimathoe hanelah lawkcengkung siangpahrang teh, a bawitungkhung a yungyoe caksak lah ao han.
15 The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
Bongpai hoi yuenae ni tami a lungangsak teh, ka pangak e camo ni a manu yeirai a po sak.
16 When the wicked increase, sin increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.
Tamikathout apapnae koe kâtapoenae apap, hatei tamikalan ni a rawk awh e hah a hmu.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
Na capa hah yue yaw lannae na poe han, hothloilah hring nawmnae na poe han.
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but he who keeps the law is blessed.
Vision ohoehnae koe tami pueng a thathoe awh, hatei kâlawk ka tarawi e teh tami yawkahawi e doeh.
19 A servant can't be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
San teh lawk hoi dueng yue thai lah awm hoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh a thai eiteh tarawi laipalah ao thai.
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Pouk laipalah lawk ka deirumram e ouk na hmu ou, hot patet e tami koe hlak teh tamipathu koe ngaihawine bet aohnawn.
21 He who pampers his servant from youth will have him become a son in the end.
Camo nah ekvoi pahren e san teh a cue torei teh calan e lah ao han.
22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin.
A lung ka khuek e ni kâyuenae a tâcokhai teh, ka matheng e ni kâtapoenae pou a tâcokhai.
23 A man's pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.
Ma e kâoupnae ni na rahnoumsak han, hatei muitha lahoi kârahnoum e ni barinae a coe.
24 Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify.
Tamru hoi kamyawng e teh amae hringnae ka hmuhma e tami doeh, lawkkatang dei hanelah thoe a kâbo ei dei kalawn hoeh.
25 The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Jehovah will be set on high.
Tami barinae ni karap patetlah na man, hatei BAWIPA kâuep e teh rungngang lah ao han.
26 Many seek the ruler's favor, but a man's justice comes from Jehovah.
Tami kapap ni ukkungnaw e lungyouknae hah a tawng awh, hatei taminaw hanelah lawkcengnae teh BAWIPA koehoi doeh a tho.
27 A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
Tamikalanhoehe teh tamikalan hanelah panuet a tho e patetlah, tamikalan teh tamikalanhoehnaw hanelah panuet a tho van.
