Proverbs 29
1 A person who has received many rebukes but who stiffens his neck will be broken in a moment beyond healing.
Thuitaek pacoengah doeh angmah ih tahnong amtaksak kami loe, hoih thai ai, amrohaih to tong roep tih.
2 When righteous people increase, the people rejoice, but when a wicked person is the ruler, the people sigh.
Katoeng kami ukhaih kaa tawnh naah, kaminawk anghoe o; toe kahoih ai kami mah uk naah loe kaminawk palungset o.
3 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, but he who keeps company with prostitutes destroys his wealth.
Palunghahaih koeh kami loe ampa to anghoesak; toe tangzat zaw nongpata hoi angkom kami loe a tawnh ih hmuen to pasaeng boih.
4 The king establishes the land by justice, but the one who demands bribes tears it down.
Toenghaih hoiah prae uk siangpahrang loe prae to caksak; toe bokhaih tangqum paekhaih koeh kami loe a prae to amtimsak.
5 A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet.
A imtaeng pakoeh kami loe angmah aman hanah palok payang kami ah oh.
6 In the sin of an evil person is a trap, but the righteous person sings and rejoices.
Kasae kami loe a zaehaih pongah amanh; toe katoeng kami loe anghoehaih hoiah laa to sak.
7 The righteous person knows the rights of the poor; the wicked person does not understand such knowledge.
Katoeng kami loe kamtangnawk hanah khopoek pae; toe kahoih ai kami loe tidoeh dawncang ai.
8 Mockers set a city on fire, but those who are wise turn away wrath.
Minawk khet patoek kami loe vangpui to hmai angqongsak; toe palungha kami loe palungphuihaih to dipsak.
9 When a wise person has an argument with a fool, he rages and laughs, and there will be no rest.
Palungha hoi kamthu loe lam nawnto a caeh hoi naah, kamthu loe palungphuihaih hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe pahnuihaih hoiah maw om cadoeh, monghaih roe tawn mak ai.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the one who is blameless and seek the life of the upright.
Minawk athii palong koeh kami loe katoeng kami to hnukma; toe katoeng kami loe minawk hinghaih to khet pae.
11 A fool reveals all his anger, but a wise man holds it back and calms himself down.
Kamthu loe a poekhaih to taphong boih; toe palungha kami loe atue pha ai karoek to angphat.
12 If a ruler pays attention to lies, all his officials will be wicked.
Ukkung mah amsawnlok to tahngai nahaeloe, a toksah tamnanawk boih loe kasae kami ah ni oh o.
13 The poor person and the oppressor are similar, for Yahweh gives light to the eyes of them both.
Kamtang hoi aling thaih kami anghmonghaih loe hae tiah oh; Angraeng mah ni nihnik hanah mik aanghaih to paek hmaek.
14 If a king judges the poor by the truth, his throne will be established forever.
Siangpahrang mah kamtang to toenghaih hoiah lokcaek nahaeloe, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to cak poe tih.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child freed from discipline puts his mother to shame.
Thuitaekhaih cung mah palunghahaih to paek; toe prawt sut ih caa mah loe amno to ahmin setsak.
16 When wicked people are in power, transgression increases, but righteous people will see the downfall of those wicked people.
Kasae kami pung naah, zaehaih doeh pung; toe katoeng kami mah loe nihcae amtimhaih to hnuk.
17 Discipline your son and he will give you rest; he will bring delights into your life.
Na caa to thuitaek ah, to tih nahaeloe anih mah poek monghaih to na paek tih; ue, anih mah poeknawmhaih to na paek tih.
18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people run wild, but the one who keeps the law is blessed.
Angzo han koi hmuen hnukhaih om ai ah loe kaminawk amro o; toe patuk ih lok pazui kami loe tahamhoih.
19 A slave will not be corrected by words, for though he understands, there will be no response.
Tamna loe kahoih lok khue hoi thuitaek han om ai; anih loe lok to thaih, toe thai ai baktiah om tih.
20 See a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Poek het ai ah karangah lok apae kami to na hnuk maw? To kami pongah loe kamthu to oepthoh kue.
21 One who pampers his slave from youth, at the end of it there will be trouble.
Tamna to nawkta nathuem hoiah kahoih ah khetzawn nahaeloe, hnukkhuem ah angmah ih caa ah angcoeng tih.
22 An angry person stirs up strife and a master of rage commits many sins.
Palungphui thaih kami mah angzoehhaih to tacawtsak, poek amthueng kami loe zaehaih sak pop.
23 A person's pride brings him low, but one who has a humble spirit will be given honor.
Amoekhaih mah kami to krahsak tathuk tih; toe kami tlim ah khosakhaih loe pakoehhaih ah oh.
24 One who shares with a thief hates his own life; he hears the curse and says nothing.
Kamqu hoi amyok kami loe a hinghaih to hnukma; anih mah kasae thuihaih lok to thaih, toe taphong han zit.
25 The fear of man makes a snare, but the one who trusts in Yahweh will be protected.
Kami zithaih loe kami hanah patung ih dongh ah oh; toe Angraeng oep kami loe ngancuem tih.
26 Many are those who seek the face of the ruler, but from Yahweh is justice for a person.
Kami paroeai mah ukkung koehhaih to pakrong o; toe kami loe Angraeng khae hoiah ni toenghaih to hnuk.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to righteous people, but the one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked person.
Katoeng kami mah toeng ai kami to panuet; katoeng ai kami mah toenghaih hoi khosah kami to panuet toengh.
