Proverbs 28
1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.
Tamikathout teh apinihai pâlei hoeh eiteh a yawng, hatei tamikalan teh sendek patetlah a taran ahawi.
2 By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right — it is prolonged.
Khocanaw lawkeknae kecu dawk khobawinaw tuhoitu a kâthung awh, hatei thaipanueknae hoi panuenae katawnnaw kecu dawk ram a kangning han.
3 A man — poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
Tamimathoe ni tamimathoe repcoungroe e teh ca hane pek laipalah ka cetkhai e longhotui hoi a kâvan.
4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them.
Kâlawk ka cettakhai e ni tamikathout a pholen, hatei kâlawk ka tarawi ni ouk a tuk awh.
5 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.
Tamikathoutnaw ni lannae thaipanuek awh hoeh, hatei BAWIPA katawngnaw ni bangpueng hai a thaipanuek.
6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
Tawnta laihoi a khuekhaw awm laipalah hring hlak teh tamimathoe yuemkamculah kaawm e ahawihnawn.
7 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush.
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 Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For one favouring 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 Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer [is] an abomination.
Kâlawk ka tarawi ngai hoeh e teh a ratoumnae hai panuet a tho.
10 Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do 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 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him.
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 the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
Tamikalan a lunghawi navah kalen e bawilennae ao, hatei tamikathout a kangdue toteh taminaw a kâhro awh.
13 Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.
Amae yonae ka hrawk e teh hawinae hmawt mahoeh, hatei ka pâpho e ni pahrennae a hmu han.
14 O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil.
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] the wicked ruler over a poor people.
Mathoenaw kaukkung bawi kathout teh sendek ka huk e hoi tavom ka hram e patetlah ao.
16 A leader lacking understanding multiplieth oppressions, Whoso is hating dishonest gain prolongeth 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 the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him.
Tamikathet e teh phuen tangkom koe yawng na lawiseh, apinihai ngang nahan seh.
18 Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once.
Lam kalan dawk ka dawn e tami teh a hlout han, hatei lam longkawi dawk ka dawn e teh vaitalahoi a rawp han.
19 Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled [with] poverty.
Laikawk ka thawn e teh rawca moi a tawn han, hatei ayawmyinlah kaawm e tami teh a mathoe han.
20 A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted.
Yuemkamcu e ni yawhawinae kapap a hmu han, hatei dongdengca dawk tawnta hanelah kâcai e teh rek laipalah awm mahoeh.
21 To discern faces is not good, And for a piece of bread doth a man transgress.
Minhmai khet tawnnae teh hawi hoeh, vaiyei tangen kecu dawk tami kâlawk ouk a tapoe awh.
22 Troubled for wealth [is] the man [with] an evil eye, And he knoweth not that want doth meet him.
Dongdengca dawk tawnta hanelah kâcai e tami teh thoenae mit a tawn, bout mathoe han doeh tie pouk hoeh.
23 Whoso is reproving a man afterwards findeth grace, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
Tami ka oup e hlak teh tami ka yue e ni a hnukkhu pholennae a coe han.
24 Whoso is robbing his father, or his mother, And is saying, 'It is not transgression,' A companion he is to a destroyer.
A manu hoi a na pa hno ka lawm niteh, kâtapoenae nahoeh ka tet e tami teh, karaphoekung e hui doeh.
25 Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso is trusting on Jehovah is made fat.
Tami kâoup e lungthin ni kâyuenae a tâcokhai, hatei BAWIPA kâuep e teh a lamcawn han.
26 Whoso is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoso is walking in wisdom is delivered.
Amae pouknae ka kâuep e teh tamipathu doeh, hatei lungang lahoi kaawm e teh hlout lah ao han.
27 Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.
Tamimathoenaw hno ka poe e teh vout mahoeh, hatei ka roun e tami teh puenghoi thoebonae a hmu han.
28 In the rising of the wicked a man is hidden, And in their destruction the righteous multiply!
Tamikathoutnaw a kangdue toteh taminaw amahmawk a kâhro awh, hatei a rawk awh toteh tamikalannaw a pung awh.
