< Proverbs 10 >

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
Solomon kah thuidoeknah, Ca aka cueih loh a napa ko a hoe sak tih ca aka ang tah a manu a pha-ueknah la om.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
Halangnah kah thakvoh khaw hoeikhang tloe pawt tih, duengnah long tah dueknah lamloh a huul.
3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Aka dueng kah hinglu tah BOEIPA loh a lamlum sak moenih, tedae halang kah a talnah te a thaek pah.
4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
Palyal kut loh a saii tah vawtthoek tih, kut aka haam tah boei.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
Khohal ah aka yoep capa long tah a cangbam tih, cangah vaengah aka ip capa loh yah a bai.
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Aka dueng kah a lu dongah yoethennah om dae, halang kah a ka long tah kuthlahnah khaw a phah.
7 The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
Aka dueng poekkoepnah tah yoethennah la om dae, halang tah a ming pawn ni.
8 The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.
Lungbuei aka cueih loh olpaek te a doe tih, aka ang tah a hmui a lai a caehdoelh pah.
9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
Thincaknah neh aka pongpa tah ngaikhuek la cet dae, a longpuei aka kawn sak khaw amah ming uh bitni.
10 One who winks with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.
Mik neh aka mikhip loh nganboh a paek tih, aka ang tah a hmui a lai a caehdoelh pah.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Aka dueng kah a ka tah hingnah thunsih la om tih, halang kah a ka loh kuthlahnah te a uep.
12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
Hmuhuetnah loh tingtoehnah a haeng. Tedae lungnah long tah dumlai boeih a dah,
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
Hmuilai dongah aka yakming loh cueihnah a dang tih, lungbuei aka talh kah a nam ham rhuiboeng om.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
Aka cueih rhoek loh mingnah a khoem uh tih aka ang kah a ka tah a porhaknah yoei.
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Khorha khuikah, hlanglen kah a boei a rhaeng tah amah kah a sarhi la om tih, a khodaeng te tattloel rhoek kah porhaknah la om.
16 The labour of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
Aka dueng kah thaphu tah hingnah la om tih halang kah cangah tah tholhnah la poeh.
17 He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
Thuituennah aka ngaithuen tah hingnah caehlong la pawk tih toelthamnah aka hnawt tah kho a hmang.
18 He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
Hmuhuetnah aka phah kah a hmuilai khaw a honghi la om tih, theetnah aka haeh khaw ang.
19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
Olka a yet vaengah dumlai khaw a mueh moenih, tedae a hmuilai aka tuem ni lungming la a om.
20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
Aka dueng kah ol tah cak a coelh bangla om tih halang kah a lungbuei tah vilvel mai ni.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
Aka dueng kah hmuilai loh muep a kok tih aka ang tah a lungbuei a talh dongah duek.
22 The LORD’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
BOEIPA kah yoethennah tah boei tih, te te patangnah a koei thil moenih.
23 It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
Aka ang ham tah nueihbu te khonuen rhamtat la a saii dae, cueihnah long tah hlang taengah lungcuei la om.
24 What the wicked fear will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
Halang kah rhihnahkoi tah amah taengla a pawk pah tih aka dueng kah a ngaihlihnah khaw a doo pah ni.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.
Cangpalam loh a paan vaengah halang tah pai thai pawt vetih aka dueng kah khoengim tah kumhal ah pai ni.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
Kolhnaw tah a tueih rhoek hamla a no dongah a thuui bangla, a mik dongah hmaikhu bangla a om pah.
27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
BOEIPA hinyahnah loh khohnin a thap tih halang kah a kum tah a rhaem pah.
28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.
Aka dueng rhoek kah ngaiuepnah tah kohoenah la om tih halang rhoek kah ngaiuepnah tah paltham.
29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
BOEIPA kah longpuei he thincaknah ham tah lunghim la om tih boethae aka saii ham porhaknah la om.
30 The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
Aka dueng tah kumhal duela tuen pawt dae halang rhoek tah diklai ah khosa mahpawh.
31 The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
Aka dueng kah a ka ah cueihnah cuen tih calaak rhoek kah a lai tah a yueh pah ni.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
Aka dueng kah hmuilai tah kolonah la a ming dae halang rhoek kah a ka tah calaak yoeyah.
