Proverbs 19
1 Better is a poor man, walking in his integrity, than one of perverse lips, and, he, a dullard.
Mingol thu motsei seipa sang in, hinkho mandan them'a vaichat aphajoi.
2 Surely, for the soul to be, without knowledge, is not good, and, he that hasteth with his feet, strayeth.
Mihem khat hetna beija hin hi apha pon, kin le donga chena lampi anoh phah thei-jin ahi.
3 The folly of a man, subverteth his way, and, against Yahweh, his heart is angry.
Mingol chu manthah nan apui mang teng, Yahweh Pakai mo achansah kit-jin ahi.
4 Wealth, addeth many friends, but, the poor man, from his own friend, is parted.
Mihao ding in gol le pai thah thah asem jin, mivaichapa vang chu agol apai in jong adalha laloi jie.
5 A false witness, shall not be held innocent, and, he that uttereth lies, shall not escape.
Hettosah'a pang jou le nal seipa chun, engbolna ato tei ding ahi.
6 Many, will entreat the favour of a noble, and, every one, is a friend to a man abounding in gifts.
Mihem ahongphal chun ahin-khohsah thei mi tampi anei ding, jou le nal'a thuseipa vang ong-doh lou ding ahi.
7 All the brethren of a poor man, hate him, how much more have, his friends, gone far from him, he may hunt up promises—there are none.
Mivaicha hi asopi ho jeng in jong athet bol jiuvin, achutileh agol apaiho chun ichan geijin athet tadiu vem? Vaichapan asam sam in hinlah adalha-ji tauve.
8 He that acquireth sense, loveth his own soul, he that guardeth understanding, shall find blessing.
Chihna kimupa chun hinkho manlut dan ahet ahin, thil hethem mi chu machal tei ding ahi.
9 A false witness, shall not be held innocent, and, he that uttereth lies, shall perish.
Hettohsah jou le nal seija pang pan, engbolna ato tei ding, koi hileh thujou seichan chun thina apeldoh lou ding ahi.
10 Unseemly for a dullard, is delicate living, how much more for, a servant, to bear rule over princes.
Mingol khat'in nomsatah'a hinkho aman ding adih thei pon, soh khat dinga milen milal chunga vaihompa hi ding jong dih thei him him lou ahi.
11 The discretion of a man, deferreth his anger, and, his adorning, is to pass over transgression.
Lungput dihtah kiti hin, mi lunghanna asosah jipon, min ahilou lam'a abolna donse lou chu ama dia loupina ahi.
12 The growl as of a young lion, is the rage of a king, but, like dew upon the grass, is his good pleasure.
Lengpa lunghanna hi keipi ngih tobang ahin, alunglhaina vang hamhing lah daitwi in achap tobang ahi.
13 Engulfing ruin to his father, is a son that is a dullard, —and, a continuous dripping, are the contentions of a wife.
Chapa ngol hi apa dinga hamsetna ahin, numei ajipa toh kicham thei lou chu, gotwi julha tobang ahi.
14 House and substance, are an inheritance from one’s fathers, but, from Yahweh, cometh a wife who is prudent.
Nei le gou kiti hi pute patea kon kilo son-ji ahin, numei chingtah jia kimu hi Yahweh Pakaija kon ahi.
15 Sloth, falleth into a deep sleep, and, a soul that is indolent, shall famish.
Thasetna hin mi alhim i-mujin, Koi hileh athase chan chun kel athoh ding ahi.
16 One who guardeth the commandment, guardeth his life, he that is reckless in his ways, shall die.
Thupeh nit chan kihinso tei ding, amavang thu kisei ija-sep lou chu thina ato ding ahi.
17 A lender to Yahweh, is one who sheweth favour to the poor, and, his good deed, He will pay him back.
Mivaicha kithopi chun Yahweh Pakai akithopi ahin, ajeh chu Yahweh Pakai in atohman alethuh tei ding ahi.
18 Correct thy son, because there is hope, yet, not so as to slay him, let thy passion be excited.
Semphat thei le kinepna aum pat hin, na chapa phohsal jeng in, moh manthah sah ding vang gel hih hel in.
19 A man in a rage, taketh away the penalty, —nevertheless, if thou let him go free, the more [stripes] must thou add.
Milung chom chun gimna ato tei ding ahin, dalha jeng tan, ajeh chu nangma chunga jong gimna lhun lo ding ahi.
20 Hear counsel, receive correction, that thou mayest be wise in thine after-life.
Min nahilna le nathumopna ngaiphan lang asanji them in, ajeh chu khonung teng chihna nanei theina ding ahi.
21 Many are the devices in a man’s heart, but, the counsel of Yahweh, that, shall stand.
Nangman tohgon ijat nei jong lechun, Yahweh Pakai lungdei banga nagon ding bou athupin ahi.
22 The charm of a man, is his lovingkindness, —and better a poor man, than one who deceiveth.
Mihem akon kitahna hi deisah pipen ahin, lungput dihlou sang in vaichat aphajon ahi.
23 The reverence of Yahweh, leadeth to life, satisfied then, let a man remain—let him not be visited by calamity.
Yahweh Pakai gin hi kihin sona ahin, chule Yahweh Pakai gingmi chu alungkim jin, ama chu hamset nan alhun den lou hel ding ahi.
24 A sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, even unto his own mouth, will he not bring it back.
Mithase hon bukong asoh jiuvin, chule akamsung uva het ding jong angapcha jipouve.
25 The scoffer, thou shalt smite, and, the simple, will beware, but correct a man of intelligence—he will understand teaching.
Mitot chavei ho chu gotna pi-lechun, chihna'a min anei thei ding; thil hethem mi chu gihsal le chun ahetna kibelap ding ahi.
26 He that ruineth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son causing shame and reproach.
Apa pumthoa del le anu del mangpa chu, jum le jachat hung konna chapa tia seiset chang ding ahi.
27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction that would cause thee to wander from the sayings of knowledge.
Kachapa, min na hilna ngai datan, chule chihnan jong donse da jeng tan.
28 An abandoned witness, scorneth justice, and, the mouth of lawless men, swalloweth iniquity.
Hettohsah duhdah loupa chun, thudih jong adoudal jin, hitichun mingol in, akam sunga themmona aki loilut jitai.
29 Prepared for scoffers, are punishments, and stripes, for the back of dullards.
Kijepna ding mol hi miphalou dinga kisem ahin, tungtun kijep jong hi mingol ho ding bou ahi.
