< Proverbs 12 >
1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge, but, he that hateth reproof, is brutish.
Toelthamnaak ak lungnaak ing simnaak ce lungna nawh, zyihtoelnaak ak sawhnaak taw qamsa ing myih hy.
2 A good man, obtaineth favour from Yahweh, but, a man of wicked devices, will he condemn.
Thlakdyng ing Bawipa kawzeelnaak hu nawh, theem amak leek ak sai ing Bawipa kawsonaak zaawk kaw.
3 A son of earth, shall not be established, by lawlessness, but, the root of the righteous, shall not be disturbed.
Thlanghqing ve seet sainaak ing am cak sak nawh, thlakdyng ang dyih hyn taw cak kaw.
4 A virtuous woman, is the crown of her husband, but, a veritable decay in his bones, is she that causeth 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 plans of the righteous, are just, but, the counsels of the lawless, are deceitful.
Thlakdyng ak khawpoeknaak taw leek nawh, thlakche ak khawpoeknaak taw thailatnaak ni.
6 The words of the lawless, are—of lying in wait for blood, but, the mouth of the upright, shall deliver them.
Thlakche ak awi ing thlang thi ang lawng hly qeh nawh, thlakdyng ak awi ingtaw amah loet sak hy.
7 Overthrown are the lawless and they are not, but, the house of the righteous, shall stand.
Khawsak amak leekkhqi taw khaawngna awm kawm saw qeeng kawm uh, thlakdyng a ipkhui taw ak cakna dyi poe kaw.
8 In proportion to his prudence, is a man, to be praised, but, the perverse in heart, shall be an object of contempt.
Thlang a cyihtaak amyihna kyihcahna awm kawm saw, kawpoek amak leek thlang taw thlang ing hep kaw.
9 Better slighted, and have a servant, than to honour oneself, and come short of bread.
Kawpoek saang toen nawh aikawi amak ta ang lakawh, kawpoek neem nawh ikawm amak ta tamnaa taak ve leek ngai hy.
10 A righteous man, regardeth the desire of his beast, but, the compassions of the lawless, are cruel.
Thladyng ingtaw a qamsaa ai kawi ce poek nawh, cehlai, thlakqaw am qeennaak ak saang soeih taw thekhanaak ni.
11 He that tilleth his land, shall be filled with food, but, he that runneth after worthless men, lacketh sense.
A lo awh bi ak bii thlang ingtaw ai kawi khawzah ta nawh, a naawmnaak ak sui thlang ingtaw cyihnaak am ta hy.
12 A lawless man craveth the prey of the wicked, but, the root of the righteous, is enduring.
Khawsak amak leekkhqi ing thlakchekhqi a lawk nai unawh, thlakdyngkhqi a zung taw cak poepa hy.
13 By the transgression of the lips, is the wicked man, ensnared, but the righteous, cometh out of distress.
Thlangthawlh taw amah ak awi awh aawk nawh, thlakdyng taw kyinaak awhkawng loet kaw.
14 Of the fruit of a man’s mouth, shall he be satisfied with good, and, the dealing of the hands of a son of earth, shall be paid back 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 the foolish, is right in his own eyes, but, he that hearkeneth to counsel, is wise.
Thlakqaw ing amah mik huhawh a lam thyym sak hy, cehlai thlakcyi ingtaw thlak awi ngai hy.
16 A foolish man, on the [same] day, letteth his vexation be known, but, he that concealeth an affront, is prudent.
Thlakqaw ing ak kawsonaak pho sak pahoei nawh, thlakcyi ingtaw chah kawi ce thuhphah hy.
17 He that whispereth faithfulness, declareth righteousness, but, a false witness, is a fraud.
Awihthyym ak kqawn ing ypawmnaak dang sak nawh, amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw thlangthai palat ni.
18 There is who babbleth, as with thrusts of a sword, but, the tongue of the wise, hath healing.
Poek kaana awi tinaak ing cimcamyihna thlang sun nawh, thlakcyi ak awi ing thlang qoei sak hy.
19 A lip that is faithful, shall be firm to futurity, but, only for a twinkling, is the tongue that is false.
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 contrivers of mischief, but, to the counsellors of peace, shall be joy.
Them amak leek ak poekkhqi kawlungawh thailatnaak awm nawh, qoepnaak ak sai khqi hamna taw zeelmangnaak ni.
21 Unseemly to the righteous, is any trouble, but, the lawless, are full of misfortune.
Thlakdyng ak khanawh amak leek them ing am pha kawm saw, khawsak amak leekkhqi cetaw amak leek them ingawh bee kawm uh.
22 An abomination to Yahweh, are lips that are false, but, he that dealeth faithfully, is 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, concealeth knowledge, but, the heart of dullards, proclaimeth folly.
Thlakcyi ing cyihnaak thuh nawh. Thlakqaw kawlung ingtaw qawnaak dang sak hy.
24 The hand of the diligent, shall bear rule, but, the indolent, shall come under tribute.
Thlak meetkhqi kut ing thlang uk kawm saw, thlang thakdamkhqi taw tamnaa bibinaak ing dyt kaw.
25 When anxiety is in the heart of a man, one may bow him down, but, a good word, maketh him glad.
Lyynaak kawlung ing thlang patang sak nawh, awih leek ing thlang awmhly sak hy.
26 The righteous man guideth his neighbour, but, the way of the lawless, leadeth them astray.
Thlakdyng taw a imceng ham hquikungna awm nawh, khawsak amak leekkhqi ing kqeeng-naak pha sak hy.
27 Indolence, roasteth not, his own game, but, the substance of a man, is precious, when he is diligent.
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 way of righteousness, is life, and, in the path thereof, immortality,
Dyngnaak lamawh hqingnaak awm nawh, ce lamawh thihnaak am awm hy.
