Proverbs 19
1 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse [in] his lips, who [is] a fool.
Thailatnaak awi ak kqawn thlakqawna awm anglakawh thlak khawdeng, kawpoek leek ak toen na awm leek bet hy.
2 Also, without knowledge the soul [is] not good, And the hasty in feet is sinning.
Simnaak kaana ngaihnaak doeng awm am leek nawh, khawng khaam tawn aih awm tlunknaak ni.
3 The folly of man perverteth his way, And against Jehovah is his heart wroth.
Thlakqaw a qawnaak ing a lam seet sak nawh, Khawsa awh ak kaw vuung sak hy.
4 Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour is separated.
Khawh taak ing pyi khawzah ta nawh, khawdeng thlang taw a pyi ing centak kaw.
5 A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.
Amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw a toel kaana am awm kawm saw, qaai ak kqawn awm am loet ti kaw.
6 Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made friendship to a man of gifts.
Thlang khawzah ing ukkung kawzeelnaak sai thai nawh, kutdo ak pe thlang ing pyi khawzah ta thai hy.
7 All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words — they are not!
Ak khawdeng cingnakhqi ing a mim cawt ce a mi sawhnaak awhtaw a pyikhqi ingtaw ikawmyihna nu a mi sawhnaak pai kaw! hquut nawh khy khqi seiawm qeeng taak boeih kawm uh.
8 Whoso is getting heart is loving his soul, He is keeping understanding to find good.
Cyihnaak ak ta ing a hqingnaak lungna nawh, simnaak ak ta ing theemleek hu kaw.
9 A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.
Amak thyym dyihthingna ak dyi taw a toel kaana am awm kawm saw, qaai ak kqawn taw plam kaw.
10 Luxury is not comely for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule among princes.
Khawsak nawmnaak ve thlakqawi ingqawi am qoepqui nih nawh tamnaa ing a boei a uk awm am kawihvaih nak khqoet hy.
11 The wisdom of a man hath deferred his anger, And his glory [is] to pass over transgression.
Cyihnaak ingawh thlang yh thainaak pe nawh, thlang a thawlh qeennaak taw a boeimang-naak ni.
12 The wrath of a king [is] a growl as of a young lion, And as dew on the herb his good-will.
Sangpahrang ak kawsonaak taw samthyn a kaawk ing myih nawh, cehlai ak kawzeelnaak taw saaitlim ak khan awhkaw daamtui ing myih hy.
13 A calamity to his father [is] a foolish son, And the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
Capa ak qaw taw a pa ham zoseetnaak na awm nawh, zuu, hqo ak lo poepa taw tuih poek ben tloei ing myih hy.
14 House and wealth [are] the inheritance of fathers, And from Jehovah [is] an understanding wife.
Im lo ingkaw khawhkham taw pa venna kaw qona awm nawh, zuu ak cyi taw Bawipa venna kaw qo ni.
15 Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul doth hunger.
Ngaknaak ing ih tui sak nawh, thlang thak-dam taw buh cawi kaw.
16 Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is despising His ways dieth.
Awi pek ak ngai ing a hqingnaak ngaihthyn nawh, a khawsak amak ngaihthyn taw thi kaw.
17 Whoso is lending [to] Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.
Khawdeng ak lungnaak taw Khawsa kut ak zoe sak na awm nawh, theemleek a sai phu ce thung kaw.
18 Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.
Ngaih-uunaak a awm tloek awh na capa ce toel lah, a hamna tlo kaw ti nawh koek poek.
19 A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.
Kawkso thlang ing am thin tawi phu zaawk kaw, a nih ce hul tik seiawm na hul tlaih tlaih ngaih kaw.
20 Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.
Thlang ing awi ak kqawn ce ngai nawh toelnaak ak awi ce do lah, a dytnaak ben nataw cyi kawp ti.
21 Many [are] the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.
Thlang ing khawkpoeknaak khawzah ta hy, ceseiawm Khawsa a khawkhannaak awh ni a soep hy.
22 The desirableness of a man [is] his kindness, And better [is] the poor than a liar.
Amak boet thai lungnaak ni thlang ing a ngaih; qaai kqawn lakawh khawdengna awm leek bet hy.
23 The fear of Jehovah [is] to life, And satisfied he remaineth — he is not charged with evil.
Khawsa kqihchahnaak ing hqingnaak pe nawh, ak ta boeih khawzeel ing awm kawm usaw, zoseetnaak ing am phakhqi kaw.
24 The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his mouth he bringeth it not back.
Thlang thakdawh ing am khuiawh a kut tuun nawh am kha a thak hly awm ngak hy.
25 A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.
Thlang ak thekhanaak ce vyyk lah, cawhtaw cyihnaak amak takhqi ing cyihnaak ta bet kawm uh, khaw ak poek thai thlang ce toel lah, cyi khqoet kaw.
26 Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.
A pa khawdeng sak nawh, a nu im awhkawng ak thlaa taw capa, thlang chah ak phyih sak, ming seetnaak ak pekung ni.
27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction — To err from sayings of knowledge.
Ka capa, toelnaak awi am nang ngaihnaak hamna a nik cawngpyi ak awi ce koeh ngai.
28 A worthless witness scorneth judgment, And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.
Cemyih ak thlang ing ak thyym ce husit nawh amak leek theem ce am kha ing daih hy.
29 Judgments have been prepared for scorners, And stripes for the back of fools!
Toelnaak taw thlang ak thekhanaakkhqi ham saina awm nawh, thlaqaw am ting taw vyyknaak hamna ak awm ni.
