Proverbs 28
1 The lawless, fleeth when no man pursueth, but, the righteous, like a lion, are confident.
Tamikathout teh apinihai pâlei hoeh eiteh a yawng, hatei tamikalan teh sendek patetlah a taran ahawi.
2 For the transgressions of a land, many are the rulers thereof, but, under an intelligent and discerning man, stability is prolonged.
Khocanaw lawkeknae kecu dawk khobawinaw tuhoitu a kâthung awh, hatei thaipanueknae hoi panuenae katawnnaw kecu dawk ram a kangning han.
3 A poor man, who oppresseth the helpless, [is like] a rain beating down, leaving no food.
Tamimathoe ni tamimathoe repcoungroe e teh ca hane pek laipalah ka cetkhai e longhotui hoi a kâvan.
4 They who forsake instruction, praise one who is lawless, while, they who keep instruction, are at strife with them.
Kâlawk ka cettakhai e ni tamikathout a pholen, hatei kâlawk ka tarawi ni ouk a tuk awh.
5 Wicked men, consider not justice, but, they who seek Yahweh, consider everything.
Tamikathoutnaw ni lannae thaipanuek awh hoeh, hatei BAWIPA katawngnaw ni bangpueng hai a thaipanuek.
6 Better a poor man walking in his integrity, than one who is crooked—turning two ways, though, he, be rich.
Tawnta laihoi a khuekhaw awm laipalah hring hlak teh tamimathoe yuemkamculah kaawm e ahawihnawn.
7 He that keepeth instruction, is a son with discernment, but, a companion of squanderers, bringeth shame to his father.
Kâlawk ka tarawi e teh a lungkaang e capa doeh, ka kâso e hoi kamyawng e ni a na pa yeirai a po sak.
8 He that increaseth his substance by interest and profit, for one ready to favour the poor, doth gather it.
Apung ka cat ni teh kalan hoeh e lahoi hnopai ka tawnta e ni tamimathoe kabawmkung hanelah a pâtung pouh.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing instruction, even his prayer, is an abomination.
Kâlawk ka tarawi ngai hoeh e teh a ratoumnae hai panuet a tho.
10 He that misguideth the upright into a hurtful way! into his own pit, he himself, shall fall, but, men of integrity, shall inherit good.
Thoenae lam dawk tamikalan lam ka phen sak e teh ama ni a tai e tangkom dawk a bo han, hatei toun kaawm hoeh e ni hnokahawi a coe han.
11 Wise in his own eyes, is the man that is rich, but, a poor man of discernment, searcheth him out.
Ka tawnta e ni amahoima a lungkaang lah a kâpouk, hatei thaipanueknae ka tawn e tamimathoe ni peng a pâpho han.
12 In the exulting of the righteous, there is great glorying, but, when the lawless arise, a man must be sought for.
Tamikalan a lunghawi navah kalen e bawilennae ao, hatei tamikathout a kangdue toteh taminaw a kâhro awh.
13 He that covereth his transgressions, shall not prosper, but, he that confesseth and forsaketh, shall find compassion.
Amae yonae ka hrawk e teh hawinae hmawt mahoeh, hatei ka pâpho e ni pahrennae a hmu han.
14 How happy the man who is ever circumspect, whereas, he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into calamity.
Takinae pou ka tawn e teh a yawkahawi e doeh, hatei a lung pou ka patak e teh rawkkahmanae hoi a kâhmo han.
15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, is a lawless ruler, over a poor people.
Mathoenaw kaukkung bawi kathout teh sendek ka huk e hoi tavom ka hram e patetlah ao.
16 A leader, may lack intelligence, yet abound in oppressions, The hater of greed, shall lengthen out days.
Thaipanueknae ka vout e ukkung niteh rep a coungroe hatei hounlounnae ka hmuhma e ukkung teh a hringsaw han.
17 A man oppressed with a person’s blood, unto a pit, shall flee, let them not hold him back.
Tamikathet e teh phuen tangkom koe yawng na lawiseh, apinihai ngang nahan seh.
18 He that walketh with integrity, shall be saved, but, he that is crooked, turning two ways, shall fall in one.
Lam kalan dawk ka dawn e tami teh a hlout han, hatei lam longkawi dawk ka dawn e teh vaitalahoi a rawp han.
19 He that tilleth his ground, shall have plenty of bread, but, he that pursueth empty-heads, shall have plenty of poverty.
Laikawk ka thawn e teh rawca moi a tawn han, hatei ayawmyinlah kaawm e tami teh a mathoe han.
20 A man of fidelity, aboundeth in blessings, but, one hasting to be rich, shall not be held innocent.
Yuemkamcu e ni yawhawinae kapap a hmu han, hatei dongdengca dawk tawnta hanelah kâcai e teh rek laipalah awm mahoeh.
21 To take note of faces [in judgment], is not good, and, for a bit of bread, a man will transgress.
Minhmai khet tawnnae teh hawi hoeh, vaiyei tangen kecu dawk tami kâlawk ouk a tapoe awh.
22 A man, hasting to be rich, hath an evil eye, and knoweth not when want may overtake him.
Dongdengca dawk tawnta hanelah kâcai e tami teh thoenae mit a tawn, bout mathoe han doeh tie pouk hoeh.
23 He that reproveth a man, shall, afterwards, find more, favour, than he that useth a flattering tongue.
Tami ka oup e hlak teh tami ka yue e ni a hnukkhu pholennae a coe han.
24 He that robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, companion, is he to one who wasteth.
A manu hoi a na pa hno ka lawm niteh, kâtapoenae nahoeh ka tet e tami teh, karaphoekung e hui doeh.
25 The ambitious in soul, stirreth up strife, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be enriched.
Tami kâoup e lungthin ni kâyuenae a tâcokhai, hatei BAWIPA kâuep e teh a lamcawn han.
26 He that trusteth his own heart, the same, is a dullard, but, he that walketh wisely, the same, shall be delivered.
Amae pouknae ka kâuep e teh tamipathu doeh, hatei lungang lahoi kaawm e teh hlout lah ao han.
27 One who giveth to the poor, shall have no want, but, he that hideth his eyes, shall receive many a curse.
Tamimathoenaw hno ka poe e teh vout mahoeh, hatei ka roun e tami teh puenghoi thoebonae a hmu han.
28 When lawless men rise, a common man will hide himself, but, when they perish, righteous men multiply.
Tamikathoutnaw a kangdue toteh taminaw amahmawk a kâhro awh, hatei a rawk awh toteh tamikalannaw a pung awh.
