Proverbs 21
1 Rivulets of waters [is] the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.
Sangpahrang ak kawlung taw Bawipa kutawh awm nawh, tui ang lawngnaak amyihna a ngaih ngaihnaak awh sawi hy.
2 Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering hearts.
Thlang boeih ing amimah khawsak boeih thym sak hy; cehlai Bawipa ing kawlung ni a thoek.
3 To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.
Hyih phum anglakawh ak thym ingkaw ak dyngna them sai ce Bawipa haiawh do kawina awm bet hy.
4 Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, Tillage of the wicked [is] sin.
Chah ak deng mikdai ingkaw ak oequ kawlung, thlakche a maihchoei taw thawlhnaak ni.
5 The purposes of the diligent [are] only to advantage, And of every hasty one, only to want.

8 Froward [is] the way of a man who is vile, And the pure — upright [is] his work.

9 Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than [with] a woman of contentions and a house of company.

10 The soul of the wicked hath desired evil, Not gracious in his eyes is his neighbour.
Thlakche ak kawlung ing them amak leek lungna nawh, imceng thlang ing anih venawh qeennaak am hu thai hy.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise, And in giving understanding to the wise He receiveth knowledge.
Thlang ak thekhanaak toelna a awm awh, thlang zapkhqi ing cyihnaak taakna unawh; thlakcyi cawngpyina a awm awh a simnaak pung khqoet hy.
12 The Righteous One is acting wisely Towards the house of the wicked, He is overthrowing the wicked for wickedness.

14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger, And a bribe in the bosom strong fury.

16 A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.
Cyihnaak lam awhkawng ak pleng taw thlakthikhqi venawh cun kaw.
17 Whoso [is] loving mirth [is] a poor man, Whoso is loving wine and oil maketh no wealth.
Nawmnaak ak hlahdam ing khawdeng nawh, zu ingkaw situi ak lungnaak ing am boei kaw.
18 The wicked [is] an atonement for the righteous, And for the upright the treacherous dealer.
Thlakche taw thlakdyng ham, thlang amak ypawm taw thlang ypawm ham tlannaak ni.
19 Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than [with] a woman of contentions and anger.
Kaw boen nawh hqo ak hu poepa nu ingqawi kutoetna awm haih anglakawh kqawng-qamna awm leek bet hy.
20 A treasure to be desired, and oil, [Is] in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.

25 The desire of the slothful slayeth him, For his hands have refused to work.
Thakdam thlang a ngaihnaak taw amah a thihnaakna awm kaw, a kut ing bibi a ngak caming.
26 All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination, Much more when in wickedness he bringeth it.
