Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer, turneth away wrath, but a cutting word raiseth anger.
Awih neem ing kawso qeem sak nawh, awih tlo ing kaw so sak hy.
2 The tongue of the wise, adorneth knowledge, —but, the mouth of dullards, belcheth out folly.
Thlakcyi am lai ing cyihnaak awitak cawn sak nawh, thlakqaw am kha ing qawnaak dang sak hy.
3 In every place, are the eyes of Yahweh, observing the evil and the good.
Boepa mik taw hyn boeih awh awm nawh, theem leek ingkaw theem che toek poepa hy.
4 Gentleness of the tongue, is a tree of life, but, crookedness therein, a grievous wound in the spirit.
Thlang ak qoei sak lai taw hqingnaak thingna awm nawh, thailatnaak ing ak bee lai taw kawlung patang sak hy.
5 A foolish [son], spurneth the correction of his father, but, he that heedeth a reproof, sheweth prudence.
Thlakqaw ingtaw a pa ak toelnaak husit nawh, cehlai toelnaak ak haanaak taw ngaihtaak ing khawksaa thlang ni.
6 The household of the righteous man, is a great treasure, but, in the increase of the lawless, is disturbance.
Thlakdyng imawh khawh khawzah awm nawh, thlakche khawboe phu taw kawpoek kyinaak ni.
7 The lips of the wise, scatter abroad knowledge, but, the heart of dullards, is not right.
Thlakcyi a huui ing siimnaak pungtai sak nawh, thlakqaw kawlung ingtaw cemyih am sai hy.
8 The sacrifice of lawless men, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, the prayer of the upright, is his delight.
Thlakche a hyih phum taw Khawsa ham tuih kawina awm nawh; thlakleek a hlacamnaak taw Khawsa ham kawzeelnaak ni.
9 An abomination to Yahweh, is the way of the lawless, but, the pursuer of righteousness, he loveth.
Thlakchekhqi lam taw Khawsa ham tuih kawina awm nawh, dyngnaak lamawh ak cetkhqi cetaw lungna khqi hy.
10 There is, grievous correction, for him that forsaketh the right path, He that hateth rebuke, shall die.
Lamawh amak cetkhqi taw ak tlo soeih toelnaak ing qeeh nawh; toelthamnaak ak sawhnaak thlang taw thi kaw.
11 Hades and destruction, are before Yahweh, how much more then, the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)
Ceikhui ingkaw Abaddon ce Khawsa ing a huh pheng awhtaw thlang kawlung taw ikawmyih na nu ang dang hly pheng? (Sheol h7585)
12 A scoffer, loveth not, one who reproveth him, unto the wise, doth he not go.
Thlang ak thekha naak ing toelnaak am lungna nawh, thlakcyi venna awm am cet ti kaw.
13 A joyful heart, maketh a pleasing countenance, —but, in sorrow of heart, is a stricken spirit.
Kawlung awmhlynaak ing mikhai hlampan sak nawh, kawlung tlohnaak ing myihla kawseet sak hy.
14 The heart of the intelligent, seeketh knowledge, but, the mouth of dullards, feedeth on folly.

15 All the days of the afflicted, are sorrowful, but, a cheerful heart, is a continual banquet.
Kyinaak ak sawng ham khawnghii boeih ve se boeih nawh, kawlung ak nawmkhqi ham taw zeelnaak poei ing bee poepa hy.
16 Better is a little, with the reverence of Yahweh, than great treasure, and disquietude therewith.
Patang doena theem khawzah taak ang lakawh Khawsa kqihnaak ing theem a khoeh taak ve leek bet hy.
17 Better is an allowance of herbs, and love, there, than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.

Cyihnaak amak ta khqi ham taw qawnaak ve a mi awmhlynaak na awm nawh, khawksiim thlang ingtaw a lam dyng sak hy.
22 Plans, are frustrated, for lack of consultation, but, by the multitude of counsellors, shall counsel, be established.
Awi doet qu kaana bi sai ing am phu mah nawh, cehlai awi doet qunaak a kuum awh bibi coeng hy.
23 A man hath joy, in the answer of his own mouth, and, a word in its season, —how good!
Amah a tym canawh awi doet hlatnaak ak thyym zaak taw ym ham kawi soeih hy.
Thlakcyi ham hqingnaak lam taw a baang benna kawng nawh, kham lam Ceikhui lamawh ama ceh naak ham. (Sheol h7585)

30 The sparkling of bright eyes, rejoiceth the heart, Good news, giveth marrow to the bones.
Mikhai hlampannaak ingawh kawlung awmhly sak nawh, awithangleek ing quhqawng cang sak hy.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof which giveth life, in the midst of the wise, shall remain.
Hqingnaak pek toelthamnaak ak haanaak taw thlakcyikhqi a imkhui cakawna awm kaw.
32 He that declineth correction, despiseth his own soul, but, he that heareth reproof, gaineth sense.
Toelthamnaak amak haanaak taw ang myihla ak thekhanaak ni, zyihtoelnaak ak haanaak ingtaw zaaksimnaak hu kaw.
33 The reverence of Yahweh, is the correction of wisdom, and, before honour, is humility.
Khawsa kqihchahnaak taw cyihnaak ak cawngpyikungna awm nawh; dungvoengnaak taw kyihcahna awmnaak hly ni.
