Palungha Lok 12
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Thuitaekhaih koeh kami loe palungha kami ah oh; toe zoehhaih hnuma kami loe amthu kami ni.
1Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
2Kahoih kami mah loe Angraeng palung anghoesak; toe kahoih ai hmuen poek kami loe lokcaekhaih to hnu tih.
2A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
3Kahoih ai hmuen mah kami tangzun caksak ai; toe katoeng kami ih tangzun loe aphong thai mak ai.
3A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
4Tuinuen kahoih zu loe a sava han sui lumuek ah oh; toe ahmin saesak zu loe sava ih ahuh to hmawnsak.
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
5Katoeng kami poekhaih loe toeng; toe kasae kaminawk ih lok loe alinghaih ah oh.
5The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6Kasae kami ih lok loe minawk athii palonghaih to zing; toe katoeng kami ih lok loe minawk to pahlong.
6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7Kasae kami ih im loe amtim ueloe, anghmaa tih; toe katoeng kami ih im loe kacakah angdoe poe tih.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8Palungha kami loe minawk mah pakoehhaih to hnuk; toe poek angkawn kami loe minawk mah hnap.
8A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
9Angmah hoi angmah angraeng ah amkoeh, caaknaek tawn ai kami pongah loe, kami mah patoek e, caaknaek tawn toksah kami to hoih kue.
9Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
10Katoeng kaminawk loe a pacah ih moinawk nuiah tahmenhaih to tawnh; toe hmawsaenghaih loe kasae kaminawk ih tahmenhaih sang koek ah oh.
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11Angmah ih lawk phrawk kami loe zok amhah tih; toe palungha ai kami loe tidoeh avang ai kami hnukah bang.
11He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
12Katoeng ai kami loe kasae kami ih palok to patoh han koeh; toe katoeng kami ih tangzun loe aquih tacawt.
12The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13Kasae kami loe a pahni zaehaih mah dongh pongah amansak; toe kami katoeng loe raihaih thung hoiah loih.
13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
14Kami loe angmah pahni athaih hoiah zok amhah tih; a ban hoi sak ih kasae kahoih hmuen baktih toengah atho doeh hnu tih.
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15Kamthu loe a caehhaih loklam to kamsoem ah a hnuk; toe palungha kami loe minawk mah thuih ih lok to tahngaih.
15The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16Kamthu loe palungphuihaih to amtuengsak roep; toe palungha kami loe azat koi hmuen to angphat.
16A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
17Loktang thui kami loe toenghaih to amtuengsak; amsawnlok pongah hnukung ah angdoe kami loe alinghaih to amtuengsak.
17He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
18Sumsen hoi thunh ih baktiah lok apae kami to oh; toe palungha kami ih palai mah loe kami ngantuisak.
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
19Loktang pahni loe dungzan khoek to cak; toe amsawnlok loe nawnetta ni oh.
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20Kahoih ai hmuen poek kaminawk ih palung thungah alinghaih to oh; toe angdaehhaih sah kaminawk loe anghoehaih tawnh o.
20Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21Katoeng kaminawk khaeah sethaih pha mak ai; toe kasae kami loe tahamsethaih hoiah koi tih.
21There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
22Lok amlai palai loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe toenghaih hoi khosah kaminawk loe Angraeng mah palung.
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
23Palungha kami loe panoekhaih to angphat; toe amthu ih palungthin mah loe amthuhaih to amtuengsak.
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24Thahoih ban mah kami to uk tih; toe thasae kami loe misong ah om tih.
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25Palungsethaih mah kami palungboengsak; thapaekhaih lok mah poek nawmsak.
25Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
26Katoeng kami loe a imtaeng kami to loklam patuek; toe kahoih ai kami ih loklam mah nihcae to loklam anghmangsak.
26The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
27Thasae kami loe a kah ih moi paaem han mataeng doeh paqak; thahoih kami ih tacong loe atho oh.
27The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
28Toenghaih loklam ah duekhaih om ai, hinghaih ni oh.
28In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
