Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
1Hlang cueih nu loh a im a sak dae, anglat long tah a kut neh a koengloeng.
2He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but the one who is devious in his ways despises Him.
2BOEIPA aka rhih tah a dueng la cet dae, a longpuei kho aka hmang loh BOEIPA a hnaep.
3The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
3Hlang ang kah a ka ah hoemnah kuhci om tih, aka cueih rhoek kah hmuilai loh amamih te a ngaithuen sak.
4Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but an abundant harvest comes through the strength of the ox.
4Saelhung a om pawt vaengah kongduk khaw caih dae, vaito thadueng lamkah canghum cangpai thoeng.
5An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies.
5Oltak rhoek kah laipai tah a laithae moenih. Tedae a honghi kah laipai long tah laithae ni a sat.
6A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
6Hmuiyoi loh cueihnah a tlap dae a hong ni, mingnah he aka yakming ham tah yoeikoek mai.
7Stay away from a foolish man; you will gain no knowledge from his speech.
7Hlang ang te a hmai lamloh caeh tak, mingnah olka te na ming pawt ve.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them.
8Aka thaai kah cueihnah long tah a longpuei te a yakming dae, aka ang kah a anglat tah thailatnah ni.
9Fools mock the making of amends, but goodwill is found among the upright.
9Aka ang loh hmaithennah te a hnael dae, aka thuem long tah a laklo ah kolonah a saii.
10The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares in its joy.
10A hinglu khahingnah loh lungbuei a ming. Te dongah a kohoenah dongah rhalawt loh boi thil pawh.
11The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
11Halang rhoek kah im tah a phae pah vetih aka thuem kah dap tah rhoeng ni.
12There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
12Longpuei he hlang kah mikhmuh ah thuem dae a hmailong ah dueknah longpuei la om.
13Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in sorrow.
13Nueihbu dongah lungbuei loh thak a khoeih tih, a tloihsoi ah kohoenah khaw pha-ueknah la poeh.
14The backslider in heart receives the fill of his own ways, but a good man is rewarded for his ways.
14Lungbuei aka balkhong khaw, hlang then khaw a khosing te amah hah bitni.
15The simple man believes every word, but the prudent man watches his steps.
15Hlangyoe long tah olka boeih te a tangnah dae, aka thaai long tah a khokan te a yakming.
16A wise man fears and turns from evil, but a fool is careless and reckless.
16Aka cueih long tah a rhih tih boethae te a nong tak. Tedae aka ang long tah a paan tih a omtoem.
17A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.
17Thintoek bangkek loh a anglat a phoe tih, tangkhuepnah aka khueh hlang khaw a hmuhuet uh.
18The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
18Hlangyoe loh anglat a pang tih, aka thaai rhoek loh mingnah te a muei uh.
19The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
19Hlang thae rhoek te hlang then rhoek kah mikhmuh ah, halang rhoek te hlang dueng kah vongka ah ngam uh ni.
20The poor man is hated even by his neighbor, but many are those who love the rich.
20Khodaeng te a hui long khaw a hmuhuet tih, hlanglen tah muep a lungnah.
21He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who shows kindness to the poor.
21A hui taengah aka hnoelrhoeng uh tah tholh tih, mangdaeng kodo aka rhen tah a yoethen.
22Do not those who contrive evil go astray? But those who plan goodness find loving devotion and faithfulness.
22Boethae aka uep rhoek te kho a hmang uh moenih a? Tedae sitlohnah neh uepomnah long tah hnothen ni a caai thil.
23There is profit in all labor, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
23Patangnah cungkuem loh kumkonah a om sak. Tedae hmuilai dongkah ol bueng ngawn tah tloelnah la poeh.
24The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the effort of fools is folly.
24Khuehtawn he aka cueih rhoek kah a rhuisam la om tih, aka ang rhoek tah anglat la anglat coeng.
25A truthful witness saves lives, but one who utters lies is deceitful.
25Oltak kah laipai loh hinglu a huul tih, hlangthai palat loh laithae a sat.
26He who fears the LORD is secure in confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.
26BOEIPA hinyahnah dongah pangtungnah sarhi khaw om, te dongah a ca rhoek ham hlipyingnah la om.
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
27BOEIPA hinyahnah tah hingnah thunsih neh, dueknah hlaeh lamloh aka phaelh sak la om.
28A large population is a king’s splendor, but a lack of subjects is a prince’s ruin.
28Pilnam kah cangpai dongah ni manghai kah rhuepomnah khaw a om, namtu a om pawt vaengah mangpa kah porhaknah la om.
29A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.
29Thintoek aka ueh tah bahoeng a lungcuei tih, mueihla bangkek loh anglat ni a pomsang.
30A tranquil heart is life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
30Lungbuei hoeihnah tah pumsa kah hingnah la om tih, thatlainah khaw rhuh keet la poeh.
31Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.
31Tattloel aka hnaemtaek loh amah aka saii ni a veet, BOEIPA aka thangpom long tah khodaeng a rhen.
32The wicked man is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous man has a refuge even in death.
32Halang tah a boethae ah bung tih, aka dueng tah a dueknah rhangneh ying.
33Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; even among fools she is known.
33Aka yakming kah lungbuei ah cueihnah khaw rhaehrhong tih, hlang ang lakli ah khaw ming uh coeng.
34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
34Duengnah loh namtom a pomsang tih, tholhnah loh namtu te rhaidaeng la a khueh.
35A king delights in a wise servant, but his anger falls on the shameful.
35Manghai kah kolonah loh sal te a cangbam tih, a thinpom loh yah a bai.
