1A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery.
1Toelthamnah a om lalah a rhawn aka mangkhak sak hlang tah hoeihnah om kolla pahoi khaem ni.
2When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
2Hlang dueng a pul vaengah pilnam a kohoe. Tedae halang loh a taemrhai vaengah pilnam huei.
3A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
3Cueihnah aka lungnah hlang loh a napa ko a hoe sak. Tedae pumyoi neh aka luem loh boeirhaeng khaw a milh sak.
4By justice a king brings stability to the land, but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it.

5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
5A hui taengah aka hoem hlang khaw amah khokan dongah ni lawk a tung coeng.
6An evil man is caught by his own sin, but a righteous one sings and rejoices.
6Hlang boethae loh boekoeknah neh hlaeh a tung. Tedae aka dueng tah tamhoe tih a kohoe.
7The righteous consider the cause of the poor, but the wicked have no regard for such concerns.

9If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution.
9Hlang cueih loh hlang ang taengah lai a thui. Tedae a tlai phoeiah tah luem puei cakhaw mongnah om mahpawh.
10Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.

15A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
15Cungcik neh toelthamnah loh cueihnah a paek. Tedae a hlahpham camoe loh a manu yah a bai.
16When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.
16Halang rhoek a pul vaengah boekoek khaw pul. Tedae aka dueng long tah amih a cungkunah lam ni a hmuh eh.
17Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.
17Na capa te toel lamtah na duem bitni. Na hinglu ham khaw buhmong m'paek ni.
