Proverbs 16
1 The preparations of the heart belong to man: but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
Mihem in alung sunga tohgon anei jin, kam kilhang sel'a thu kisei jong Yahweh Pakai in adonbut teijin ahi.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes: but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
Mihem in angatna lampi chu amit-tenin aven adih jeng in agel in, hinlah Yahweh Pakai in alunggel ngaito jouse akhol chil jin ahi.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

4 The LORD hath made every thing for its own end: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
Yahweh Pakai in thil jouse akiman chahna ding dol cheh'a aumsah ahin, migilou jeng jong hahsat nikhoa dinga aumsah ahi.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Yahweh Pakai in mikiletsah kiti athet in, hijeh chun hethem un, amaho chu gotna chang tei diu ahi.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
Tahsan theija chonna le kitahna hin, themmona jeng jong adihsah in, Yahweh Pakai ginna jeh'in mihem in thilphalou apeldoh thei jin ahi.
7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Mihem chu achena lam jouse Yahweh Pakai lungdei ahitengleh, Yahweh Pakai in ama chu amelmate toh jong akichamsah jitai.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.
Thildihlou pum'a kai-tampi kidon khom sang in, thildih'a lhomcha nei ding aphajoi.
9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
Mihem in alung in chena ding lampi akisem in, Yahweh Pakai in achena ding lam ako-peh jin ahi.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth shall not transgress in judgment.
Lengpa kamsunga kon'in Elohim Pathen thusei ahung gingdoh jin, hijeh chun lengpan thu a tankhel jipon ahi.
11 A just balance and scales are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work.
Yahweh Pakai in thil adih in atetoh jin, hijeh chun thil ijakai Yahweh Pakai in atetohsa jeng ahi.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
Leng ho din thil adihlouva bol hi thet umtah ahin, ajeh chu Ama vaihomna hi thudih a kingam ahi.
13 Righteous lips are the delight or kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
Leiguia kon thudih kiseidoh hi lengpa din lunglhai aum in, ajeh chu lengpan thu adih'a sei chu angailun ahi.
14 The wrath of a king is [as] messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
Lengpa lunghan nahi gihsalna ahin, hinlah miching chun lengpa lunghanna adamsah jin ahi.
15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
Lengpa mailhai sel'a aum teng, damna akibe jin, lengpa lunglhaina jong hi, go hung phin lhaji meilhang tobang ahi.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
Sana sang in chihna kimu dei aum jon, dangka sang'a jong thil hetthemna kisan ding ahi.
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Michondih chu thilse lam'a kon'in akiheidoh jin, achena tinchenga limgehpa chu kihinso teiding ahi.
18 Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Manthah ding kon le kiletsahna ahung lhung loi jin, kipal lhuh ding konleh, lhagaova hoithana ahung um loi jitai.
19 Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Mikiletsah hotoh thil kichomdoh kihop sang in, kineosah a vaichate toh lhat khom anom e.
20 He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
Min ahilna ngaija chu khangtou jing ding, chule Yahweh Pakaija kisong chan chu anunnom ahi.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Mi-lungchingpa chu thil hethemmi kiti ding, chule lunglhaina'a thuseipan mi athujo tei ding ahi.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the correction of fools is [their] folly.
Chihna nei mi chu hinna twinah tobang ahin, mingol ho ngolna hi talen matna bep ahi.
23 The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
Miching lung sunga kon chihna thucheng hungpot chan chu, Dan toh akikal jipon, akamcheng soh jouse chu mi thununna ahibouve.
24 Pleasant words are [as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Ngailutna'a thu kisei hi khoiju tobang ahin, lhagao le tahsa ding in antuitah damna ahi.
25 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Mikhat ding in lampi khat chu lamdih jeng in akimun, hinlah alampi chu ajona thina ahi.
26 The appetite of the labouring man laboureth for him; for his mouth craveth it of him.

27 A worthless man deviseth mischief: and in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
Mihem pannabei chun thilphalou jeng agel in, akamcheng soh jong melkah gin tobang ahi.
28 A froward man scattereth abroad strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
Thilphalou bolpan, baotamna aso-sah jin, aguh a thuphong lepan golcha kingaitah jong asukhen in ahi.
29 A man of violence enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him in a way that is not good.
Pumthoa natong hon aheng akom jeng jong atilseu-vin, chuting aheng akompa jong lamdih-lou alhung jitai.
30 He that shutteth his eyes, [it is] to devise froward things: he that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.
Koi hileh mit teni-singa phetsah jichun, thilpha lou jeng angaiton, muh phunsah sah pan jong thilphalou abolsoh ahita bouve.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, it shall be found in the way of righteousness.
Sam-kang liuva hinna hi, loupina lallukhuh ahin, adih jenga hinkho akiman teng, hitobanga hi hinkhosot thei ahibouve.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Ki hatsah sang in thohhat tah'a lungneng apha jon, alungput athua nunsah joupa chu, khopi khat nokhum'a kilah sang in aphachom joi.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
Khutphang sunga vang akive jin, hinlah vang phatna leh phatlouna chu Yahweh Pakaija hung kon bou ahi.
