Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
1Mongkawt la hlatnah loh kosi khaw a hlam tih, patangnah ol loh thintoek khaw a soeh.
2The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool spouts folly.
2Aka cueih kah a ol loh mingnah te a hloeihhlam tih, aka ang rhoek a ka loh a anglat te a thaa.
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good.
3BOEIPA kah a mik loh hmuen ta kuem kah a thae a then te a tawt.
4A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
4Ol dongah hoeihnah aka om tah hingnah thingkung la om tih, a khuiah saveknah khaw mueihla pocinah ham ni.
5A fool rejects his father’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction is prudent.
5Aka ang loh a napa kah thuituennah te a tlaitlaek tih, toelthamnah aka ngaithuen tah muet uh.
6The house of the righteous has great treasure, but the income of the wicked is trouble.
6Hlang dueng kah im ah khohrhang khaw khawk, tedae halang kah a cangthaih long tah hlang a lawn.
7The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but not so the hearts of fools.
7Hlang cueih rhoek long tah mingnah te a haeh dae, aka ang kah lungbuei tah te tlam moenih.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
8Halang kah hmueih te BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, aka thuem kah thangthuinah te a kolonah la a khueh.
9The LORD detests the way of the wicked, but He loves those who pursue righteousness.
9Halang kah longpuei tah BOEIPA kah tueilaehkoi tih, duengnah aka hloem tah a lungnah.
10Discipline is harsh for him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.
10Thuituennah caehlong aka hnoo ham tah thae tih, toelthamnah aka hmuhuet tah duek ni.
11Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD— how much more the hearts of men!
11Saelkhui neh Abaddon pataeng BOEIPA hmaiah a phoe atah, hlang ca rhoek kah lungbuei aisat te.
12A mocker does not love to be reproved, nor will he consult the wise.
12Amah a toel ham te hmuiyoi loh a lungnah pawt dongah, aka cueih te khaw paan laklo pawh.
13A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance, but sorrow of the heart crushes the spirit.
13Lungbuei, ko aka hoe tah a maelhmai hlampan tih, lungbuei kah nganboh loh mueihla a rhawp sak.
14A discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
14Aka yakming kah lungbuei long tah mingnah khaw mikhmuh khaw a tlap, tedae aka ang kah a ka loh anglat a luem puei.
15All the days of the oppressed are bad, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
15Mangdaeng rhoek kah a khohnin tah boeih thae, tedae lungbuei aka then tah buhkoknah toei toei om.
16Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure with turmoil.
16Thakvoh len tih a khuiah soekloeknah a om lakah BOEIPA hinyahnah dongkah tah a yol khaw then.
17Better a dish of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox with hatred.
17Buhkak ansam khaw lungnah n'caak atah, hmuhuetnah neh n'caak vaito thapaduek lakah then.
18A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.
18Olpungkacan aka huek hlang he sue la om tih, thintoek aka ueh loh tuituknah khaw a duem sak.
19The way of the slacker is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.
19Kolhnaw kah longpuei tah hling a buk banghui la om tih, aka thuem kah caehlong tah a picai pah.
20A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
20Ca aka cueih loh a napa ko a hoe sak tih, tongpa aka ang loh a manu a hnaep.
21Folly is joy to one who lacks judgment, but a man of understanding walks a straight path.
21Lungbuei aka talh ham tah a anglat te a kohoenah tih, hlang lungcuei tah a caeh dueng.
22Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
22Baecenol pawt atah kopoek bing tih, a cungkuem taengah aka uen tah pai.
23A man takes joy in a fitting reply— and how good is a timely word!
23A ka dongkah hlatnah loh hlang ham kohoenah la om tih, olka khaw amah tuetang vaengah tah then tloe pai.
24The path of life leads upward for the wise, that he may avoid going down to Sheol.
24Hlang aka cangbam ham tah saelkhui laedil lamloh hoeptlang hamla hingnah caehlong om hang.
25The LORD tears down the house of the proud, but He protects the boundaries of the widow.
25Thinthah im tah BOEIPA loh a phil pah tih, nuhmai kah rhi te a suem pah.
26The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the words of the pure are pleasant to Him.
26Kopoek thae he BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, ol then te a omthennah.
27He who is greedy for unjust gain brings trouble on his household, but he who hates bribes will live.
27Mueluemnah dongkah aka mueluem loh a imkhui a lawn tih, kutdoe aka thiinah tah hing ni.
28The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil.
28Hlang dueng kah lungbuei loh ol doo ham khaw a thuep tih, halang kah a ka loh boethae a thaa.
29The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.
29BOEIPA loh halang te a lakhla tak tih, aka dueng kah thangthuinah te a hnatun pah.
30The light of the eyes cheers the heart, and good news nourishes the bones.
30Mik kah vangnah loh lungbuei ko a hoe sak tih, olthang then loh rhuhrhong a cang sak.
31He who listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.
31Hna dongah toelthamnah aka hnatun tah hingnah la om tih, hlang cueih lakli ah rhaehrhong ni.
32He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
32Thuituennah aka hlahpham loh a hinglu a hnawt tih, toelthamnah aka hnatun tah lungbuei a lai.
33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
33BOEIPA hinyahnah he cueihnah neh thuituennah la om tih kodonah tah thangpomnah mikhmuh ah a lamhma pah.
