Proverbs 21
1 [Like] channels of water, is the heart of a king, in the hand of Yahweh, —whithersoever he will, he turneth it.
Elohim Pathen in vadung twi alon sahna nom nom'a alonsah banga, lengpa lungthim jong ahei lele thei ahi.
2 Every way of a man, may be right in his own eyes, but, he that testeth hearts, is Yahweh.
Mihem in achonna jouse chu amit mun dih asa-jin, hinlah Yahweh Pakai in mihem lungthim akhol chil jin ahi.
3 To do righteousness and justice, is more choice to Yahweh than sacrifice.
Kilhaina gantha sang in, thildih bol'a thu adih a tan ding hi, Yahweh Pakai lunglhaina ahijoi.
4 Loftiness of eyes, and ambition of heart—the lamp of the lawless, are sin.
Kiletsahna lungthim pua mitha chule miphalou ho natoh aboncha chonset jeng ahi.
5 The plans of the diligent, tend only to abundance, but, of every one that is urgent, only to want.
Miching hon gunchutah'a tohgon anei jouseu abulhing thei jin, amavang amin mei meija natong ho alhasam teijin ahi.
6 The gaining of treasures with a tongue of falsehood, is a vapour driven away, [they who seek them] seek death,
Jou le nal thoa nei le gou kichom khom jouse amangthah ding bep ahin, thina thang kisong tobang ahibouve.
7 The violence of the lawless, shall drag them away, —because they have refused to do justice.
Thu adih'a tan ding mihon anahsah lou jeh un, miphalou pumthoa natong hon pannabei jin asumang jitauve.
8 Crooked is the way of a guilty man, but, as for the pure, straight is his dealing.
Themmona neipan lamdih ajot jipon, lungthim thengpa lam lhahna adih jing in ahi.
9 Better to dwell on the corner of the roof, than a quarrelsome wife, and a house in common.
Numei hanse khat toh in nom khat'a chenkhom sang in, chungden in-vum'a chen ding aphajoi.
10 The soul of the lawless man, craveth mischief, his own friend, findeth no favour in his eyes.
Miphalou lhagao'in thilse jeng bou angai chan, aheng akom in jong ama'a kon'in khotona amu jipoi.
11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple, becometh wise, when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
Panna beija mi tot chaveipa gotna akipeh teng, milham in chih-nan anei theijin chule miching ho akihil chan in hetna akibelep jie.
12 The Righteous One observeth the house of the lawless, —He is ready to cast down lawless men into misfortune.
Mikitah chu miphalou in amelchih jing in, miphalou vang chu achunga hamsetna lhung tei ding ahi.
13 He that shutteth his ear from the cry of the poor, even he, shall call, and not be answered.
Koi hileh migenthei akateng kijahmosah chu, ama kana ahung lhun teng koiman ajah phah peh lou ding ahi.
14 A gift in secret, quencheth anger, and, a present in the bosom, mighty wrath.
Aguh'a kipa thilpeh hin alunghang jong adamsah thei jin, koima hetlouva nehguh kipe hin lungsat jong adaisah jitai.
15 It is a joy, to a righteous man, to do justice, but, dismay, to the workers of iniquity.
Thu adih'a kitan hin mikitah akipasah in, hinlah miphalou ho ding in tijat umtah ahi.
16 The man who wandereth from the way of discretion, in the gathered host of the shades, shall settle down.
Mi koi hileh hetkhen themna'a kon lamvaija vahmang chan chu, mithi hotoh kivop khomna ding mun ajot ahitai.
17 A needy man, shall he be that loveth merriment, the lover of wine and oil, shall not become rich.
Tahsa nopsahna lamjeng lhangai hochun vaichatna akimudiu ahin, koi hijongleh jule noplenna-a kipe hochu itihchan hijongleh haodoh loudiu ahi.
18 A ransom for the righteous, is the lawless, and, instead of upright men, the traitor.
Koi hileh min akhoto ding jeng ngaicha a chu, vaicha pum'a um jing ding, chule ju-a lop jong haodoh thei lou ding ahi.
19 Better to dwell in a desert land, than with a woman, quarrelsome and provoking.
Numei lungkhoh le lungsa jing, jia neija chen khom sang in, het phahlou neldi gam'a chen aphajoi.
20 Desirable treasure and oil, are in the home of the wise, but, a man who is a dullard, will destroy it.
Miching chenna in-ah nei le gou lutah tah aum in, hinlah mingol in abonchan ane-mang jitai.
21 He that pursueth righteousness and lovingkindness, shall find life, righteousness and honour.
Koi hileh chonphatna lam khohsah a, chule mi khotona neipa chun jabolna amu tei ding ahi.
22 A city of heroes, doth a wise man scale, and bringeth down the strength of its confidence.
Miching mihatpa chenna khopi jong akholchil soh keijin, chule akisonpi pen-u kulpi jong alekhup'a asuhchim hel ding ahi.
23 He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth, out of distresses, his soul.
Koi hileh thipkhen cha um'a lei kituh tang chu, gim le hesohna'a jong kivengdoh ding ahi.
24 A haughty insolent one—Scoffer is his name, is he that acteth in a transport of pride.
Mi noise le kiletsahna jong hi, pannabeija tot chaveipa kiseina ahibouve.
25 The craving of the sluggard, killeth him, for his hands have refused to work.
Mi thase ho chu aduchat uvin acham lou'a thina alhut ahi. Ajeh chu amahon akhut-u mangcha'a natoh ding anom pouve.
26 All the day, he greatly craveth, whereas, the righteous, giveth, and doth not spare.
Miphalou hon nitin in anei asit jing un, miching in anei ahom in, akile lah ngai poi.
27 The sacrifice of the lawless, is an abomination, how much more, when, with wickedness, he bringeth it in!
Miphalou ho kilhaina gantha chu thet umtah ahina chungchon in, phatlouna lungpun hin phaldoh taleu, ichan geija thet um cheh ding hitam!
28 A false witness, shall perish, but, the man who hearkeneth, with abiding effect, shall speak.
Jou le nal seija hettohsah'a pang ho suhbeija um ding, hinlah adih'a hettohsah'a pangpa thusei min angaipeh jing ding ahi.
29 A lawless man emboldeneth his face, but, as for the upright, he, directeth his ways.
Miphalou chu adihlou'in aki ngamsah jin, hinlah mikitah chun atoh masang in ageltoh masa jin ahi.
30 There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel, to confront Yahweh.
Mihem chihna le hetkhen themna chule aguh a kithumop themna chengsea kon hin, Yahweh Pakai deh-jou ding aum poi.
31 The horse, is prepared for the day of battle, but, to Yahweh, pertaineth the victory.
Galsat nikhoa manchah din sakol gonsan aum in, hinlah gal-jona hi Yahweh Pakaija kon bou ahi.
