1Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight.
1Angraeng loe katoeng ai tahhaih to pahnuet; toe katoeng tahhaih nuiah loe anghoehaih tawnh.
2When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom.
2Amoekhaih oh naah, azathaih to oh; toe minawk tlim ah khosah kami khaeah loe palunghahaih to oh.
3The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the faithless destroys them.
3Poektoeng kami loe toenghaih mah zaeh; toe poeksae kami loe poeksethaih mah amrosak tih.
4Riches are worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.
4Sithaw palungphui naah angraenghaih mah na bomh mak ai; toe toenghaih mah loe duekhaih thung hoiah pahlong.
5The righteousness of the blameless directs their path, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.
5Coek koi om ai katoeng kami loe toenghaih mah loklam to hnuksak; toe kasae kami loe a sethaih mah amtimsak tik.
6The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the faithless are trapped by their own desires.
6Katoeng kaminawk loe angmacae toenghaih mah nihcae to pahlong tih; toe sethaih sah kaminawk loe angmacae sethaih pongah aman o tih.
7When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes, and the hope of his strength vanishes.
7Kahoih ai kami duek naah, anih oephaih doeh anghma tih; poektoeng ai kaminawk ih oephaih loe anghmat.
8The righteous man is delivered from trouble; in his place the wicked man goes in.
8Katoeng kami to raihaih thung hoiah pahlong, anih zuengah kasae kami nuiah raihaih to phak.
9With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
9Angsah thaih kami loe pronghaih lok hoiah a imtaeng kami to amrosak; toe katoeng kami loe palunghahaih hoiah loi tih.
10When the righteous thrive, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
10Katoeng kami khosak hoih naah, vangpui to anghoe; kasae kami duek naah loe, anghoe hoi hanghaih lok to oh.
11By the blessing of the upright a city is built up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
11Katoeng kami tahamhoih naah, vangpui to pakoeh ah oh; toe kasae kami ih pakha mah loe vangpui to amrosak.
12Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks judgment, but a man of understanding remains silent.
12Palunghahaih tawn ai kami loe, a imtaeng kami to khet patoek; toe palunghahaih tawn kami loe a palai to ciipsak.
13A gossip reveals a secret, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.
13Lokpung kami loe tamqu hmuen to taphong; toe oepthok kami loe tamqu hmuen to angphat.
14For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but with many counselors comes deliverance.
14Zaehhoihaih om ai naah, prae kaminawk amro o; toe poekhaih paek thaih kami pop tawnh naah ngancuemhaih to oh.
15He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.
15Angvin ih laiba pathok pae hanah lokkam kami loe poek angpho tih; toe to tiah lokkam ai kami loe mawnhaih tawn mak ai.
16A gracious woman attains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth.
16Tahmenhaih tawn nongpata loe khingzahaih to hak; toe thahoih nongpanawk loe angraeng o.
17A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.
17Tahmenhaih tawn kami loe tangqum to hak; toe hmawsaeng kami loe a taksa raihaih paek kami ah ni oh.
18The wicked man earns an empty wage, but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.
18Kasae kami loe alinghaih atho to hnuk; toe toenghaih tuh kami loe amkhrai thai ai tangqum to hak.
19Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.
19Toenghaih loe hinghaih ah oh baktih toengah, sethaih hnukah patom kami loe a duekhaih ni patom.
20The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their walk are His delight.
20Poek angkawn kami loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe toenghaih loklam pazui kami nuiah loe anghoehaih to tawnh.
21Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
21Kasae kaminawk loe nawnto amhong o cadoeh, danpaek ai ah om mak ai; toe katoeng kaminawk ih caa loe loihsak tih.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
22Khopoek thai ai kranghoih nongpata loe, ok tahmawh nui ih sui bantuek baktiah ni oh.
23The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.
23Katoeng kami loe kahoih hmuen khue ni koeh; toe kasae kami ih oephaih loe palungphuihaih hae ni.
24One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
24Cangti haeh kami loe pop aep ah hak; angaihaih pong kamthlai ah patung kami loe amtang aep.
25A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
25Kuuhoih kami loe angraeng; minawk han tuibawh kami loe, angmah doeh tuibawh ah om toeng tih.
26The people will curse the hoarder of grain, but blessing will crown the one who sells it.
26Cang zawh paawt kami loe, minawk mah kasae thui tih; toe cang zaw kami ih lu loe tahamhoihaih om tih.
27He who searches out good finds favor, but evil will come to him who seeks it.
27Kahoih hmuen pakrong kami loe hoihaih to hnuk; toe kahoih ai hmuen pakrong kami loe sethaih to hnu tih.
28He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like foliage.
28Angmah angraenghaih oep kami loe amtim tih; toe katoeng kami loe thingqam baktiah sai tih.
29He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
29Angmah imthung raihaih paek kami loe takhi to qawk ah toep tih; amthu loe palungha kami ih tamna ah om tih.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
30Hinghaih thingkung loe toenghaih thingthai ah oh; palungha kami loe minawk hinghaih to pazawk.
31If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
31Khenah, katoeng kaminawk mataeng doeh long nuiah hnuk han koi atho to hnu o nahaeloe, Sithaw panoek ai kami hoi zaehaih sak koeh kaminawk cae loe kawkruk maw danpaekhaih atho to hnu o tih!
