World English Bible
1Angraeng loe katoeng ai tahhaih to pahnuet; toe katoeng tahhaih nuiah loe anghoehaih tawnh.
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but accurate weights are his delight.
2Amoekhaih oh naah, azathaih to oh; toe minawk tlim ah khosah kami khaeah loe palunghahaih to oh.
2When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
3Poektoeng kami loe toenghaih mah zaeh; toe poeksae kami loe poeksethaih mah amrosak tih.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
4Sithaw palungphui naah angraenghaih mah na bomh mak ai; toe toenghaih mah loe duekhaih thung hoiah pahlong.
4Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
5Coek koi om ai katoeng kami loe toenghaih mah loklam to hnuksak; toe kasae kami loe a sethaih mah amtimsak tik.
5The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6Katoeng kaminawk loe angmacae toenghaih mah nihcae to pahlong tih; toe sethaih sah kaminawk loe angmacae sethaih pongah aman o tih.
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
7Kahoih ai kami duek naah, anih oephaih doeh anghma tih; poektoeng ai kaminawk ih oephaih loe anghmat.
7When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
8Katoeng kami to raihaih thung hoiah pahlong, anih zuengah kasae kami nuiah raihaih to phak.
8A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
9Angsah thaih kami loe pronghaih lok hoiah a imtaeng kami to amrosak; toe katoeng kami loe palunghahaih hoiah loi tih.
9With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
10Katoeng kami khosak hoih naah, vangpui to anghoe; kasae kami duek naah loe, anghoe hoi hanghaih lok to oh.
10When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11Katoeng kami tahamhoih naah, vangpui to pakoeh ah oh; toe kasae kami ih pakha mah loe vangpui to amrosak.
11By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12Palunghahaih tawn ai kami loe, a imtaeng kami to khet patoek; toe palunghahaih tawn kami loe a palai to ciipsak.
12One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
13Lokpung kami loe tamqu hmuen to taphong; toe oepthok kami loe tamqu hmuen to angphat.
13One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
14Zaehhoihaih om ai naah, prae kaminawk amro o; toe poekhaih paek thaih kami pop tawnh naah ngancuemhaih to oh.
14Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
15Angvin ih laiba pathok pae hanah lokkam kami loe poek angpho tih; toe to tiah lokkam ai kami loe mawnhaih tawn mak ai.
15He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
16Tahmenhaih tawn nongpata loe khingzahaih to hak; toe thahoih nongpanawk loe angraeng o.
16A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
17Tahmenhaih tawn kami loe tangqum to hak; toe hmawsaeng kami loe a taksa raihaih paek kami ah ni oh.
17The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18Kasae kami loe alinghaih atho to hnuk; toe toenghaih tuh kami loe amkhrai thai ai tangqum to hak.
18Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

20Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
21Kasae kaminawk loe nawnto amhong o cadoeh, danpaek ai ah om mak ai; toe katoeng kaminawk ih caa loe loihsak tih.
21Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
22Khopoek thai ai kranghoih nongpata loe, ok tahmawh nui ih sui bantuek baktiah ni oh.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

23The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24Cangti haeh kami loe pop aep ah hak; angaihaih pong kamthlai ah patung kami loe amtang aep.
24There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

28He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
29Angmah imthung raihaih paek kami loe takhi to qawk ah toep tih; amthu loe palungha kami ih tamna ah om tih.
29He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30Hinghaih thingkung loe toenghaih thingthai ah oh; palungha kami loe minawk hinghaih to pazawk.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
