Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
Thailatnaak awi ak kqawn thlakqawna awm anglakawh thlak khawdeng, kawpoek leek ak toen na awm leek bet hy.
2 It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.
Simnaak kaana ngaihnaak doeng awm am leek nawh, khawng khaam tawn aih awm tlunknaak ni.
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.
Thlakqaw a qawnaak ing a lam seet sak nawh, Khawsa awh ak kaw vuung sak hy.
4 Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
Khawh taak ing pyi khawzah ta nawh, khawdeng thlang taw a pyi ing centak kaw.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
Amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw a toel kaana am awm kawm saw, qaai ak kqawn awm am loet ti kaw.
6 Many will seek the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
Thlang khawzah ing ukkung kawzeelnaak sai thai nawh, kutdo ak pe thlang ing pyi khawzah ta thai hy.
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him: how much more do his friends avoid him. He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
Ak khawdeng cingnakhqi ing a mim cawt ce a mi sawhnaak awhtaw a pyikhqi ingtaw ikawmyihna nu a mi sawhnaak pai kaw! hquut nawh khy khqi seiawm qeeng taak boeih kawm uh.
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
Cyihnaak ak ta ing a hqingnaak lungna nawh, simnaak ak ta ing theemleek hu kaw.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
Amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw a toel kaana am awm kawm saw, qaai ak kqawn taw plam kaw.
10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
Khawsak nawmnaak ve thlakqawi ingqawi am qoepqui nih nawh tamnaa ing a boei a uk awm am kawihvaih nak khqoet hy.
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
Cyihnaak ingawh thlang yh thainaak pe nawh, thlang a thawlh qeennaak taw a boeimang-naak ni.
12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
Sangpahrang ak kawsonaak taw samthyn a kaawk ing myih nawh, cehlai ak kawzeelnaak taw saaitlim ak khan awhkaw daamtui ing myih hy.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping.
Capa ak qaw taw a pa ham zoseetnaak na awm nawh, zuu, hqo ak lo poepa taw tuih poek ben tloei ing myih hy.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
Im lo ingkaw khawhkham taw pa venna kaw qona awm nawh, zuu ak cyi taw Bawipa venna kaw qo ni.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Ngaknaak ing ih tui sak nawh, thlang thak-dam taw buh cawi kaw.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
Awi pek ak ngai ing a hqingnaak ngaihthyn nawh, a khawsak amak ngaihthyn taw thi kaw.
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.
Khawdeng ak lungnaak taw Khawsa kut ak zoe sak na awm nawh, theemleek a sai phu ce thung kaw.
18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
Ngaih-uunaak a awm tloek awh na capa ce toel lah, a hamna tlo kaw ti nawh koek poek.
19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
Kawkso thlang ing am thin tawi phu zaawk kaw, a nih ce hul tik seiawm na hul tlaih tlaih ngaih kaw.
20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
Thlang ing awi ak kqawn ce ngai nawh toelnaak ak awi ce do lah, a dytnaak ben nataw cyi kawp ti.
21 There are many plans in a man's heart, but the LORD's counsel will prevail.
Thlang ing khawkpoeknaak khawzah ta hy, ceseiawm Khawsa a khawkhannaak awh ni a soep hy.
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
Amak boet thai lungnaak ni thlang ing a ngaih; qaai kqawn lakawh khawdengna awm leek bet hy.
23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
Khawsa kqihchahnaak ing hqingnaak pe nawh, ak ta boeih khawzeel ing awm kawm usaw, zoseetnaak ing am phakhqi kaw.
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
Thlang thakdawh ing am khuiawh a kut tuun nawh am kha a thak hly awm ngak hy.
25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
Thlang ak thekhanaak ce vyyk lah, cawhtaw cyihnaak amak takhqi ing cyihnaak ta bet kawm uh, khaw ak poek thai thlang ce toel lah, cyi khqoet kaw.
26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother, is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
A pa khawdeng sak nawh, a nu im awhkawng ak thlaa taw capa, thlang chah ak phyih sak, ming seetnaak ak pekung ni.
27 If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
Ka capa, toelnaak awi am nang ngaihnaak hamna a nik cawngpyi ak awi ce koeh ngai.
28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
Cemyih ak thlang ing ak thyym ce husit nawh amak leek theem ce am kha ing daih hy.
29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
Toelnaak taw thlang ak thekhanaakkhqi ham saina awm nawh, thlaqaw am ting taw vyyknaak hamna ak awm ni.
