Palungha Lok 28
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Kahoih ai kami loe mi mah doeh patom ai to mah a cawnh; toe katoeng kaminawk loe kaipui baktiah misahoih o.
1The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2Prae thungah zaehaih pung pongah, ukkung doeh pop; toe khopoek thaih kami hoi palungha kami hoiah ni prae to cak.
2In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
3Kamtang pacaekthlaek kami loe thingthai athaisak ai khotui baktiah oh.
3A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
4Patukhaih lok pahnawt kami loe kahoih ai kami to thapaek, toe patukhaih lok baktiah khosah kami loe nihcae ih lok to aek.
4Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
5Kasae kami loe toenghaih to panoek ai; toe Angraeng pakrong kami loe hmuen to panoek boih.
5Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
6Kahoih ai hmuen sah angraeng pongah loe toenghaih hoi khosah mithoe to hoih kue.
6Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
7Patukhaih lok pazui kami loe palungha kami ah oh; toe angzoeh koeh kami hoi ampui sah kami loe ampa to mikhmai setsak.
7Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8Katoeng ai loklam hoiah hak ih phoisa hoi hmuenmae patung mangh kami loe, kamtang tahmen thaih kami hanah ni patung pae.
8He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
9Patukhaih lok pazui ai kami loe, anih ih lawkthuihaih doeh panuet thoh.
9He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10Katoeng kami loklam amkhraengsak kami loe, angmah ih tangqom thungah krah tih; toe katoeng kami loe kahoih hmuen to toep tih.
10Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
11Long angraeng loe angmah hoi angmah to palungha kami ah poek; toe poek thaihaih katawn mithoe loe anih pongah panoek kue.
11The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
12Katoeng kami palung anghoe naah, kating ai lensawkhaih to oh; kasae kami thacak naah loe kaminawk anghawk o king.
12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13Angmah ih zaehaih angphat kami loe khosak hoih mak ai; toe a zaehaih taphong moe, caehtaak kami loe, Sithaw palungnathaih to hnu tih.
13He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
14Angraeng zithaih tawn poe kami loe tahamhoih; toe palungthah kami loe raihaih thungah amtim tih.
14Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
15Ukkung kahoih ai loe hmawhsaeng kaipui, to tih ai boeh loe taqom baktiah oh.
15As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
16Panoekthaihaih tawn ai ukkung loe pacaekthlaek kami ah oh; toe uthaih hnuma kami loe hinglung sawk tih.
16A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
17Athii palong kami loe tangqom thungah caeh tih; anih to mi mah doeh angdoe haih hmah nasoe.
17A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death. No one will support him.
18Katoeng loklam ah caeh kami loe ngancuem tih; toe lam amkhraeng kami loe amtim roep tih.
18Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
19Lawk toksah kami loe caaknaek tawn mang tih; toe tidoeh avang ai kami hnukbang kami loe amtang tih.
19One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
20Oepthok kami loe tahamhoihaih hnu tih; toe karangah angraeng koeh kami loe toenghaih hoiah toksah mak ai.
20A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
21Minawk mikhmai khet han hoih ai; kami loe takaw kae maeto hak hanah kasae hmuen to sak thaih.
21To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22Karangah angraeng koeh kami loe kahoih ai mik to tawnh; anih mah a nuiah amtanghaih pha tih, tito panoek ai.
22A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
23Pakha hoi pakoeh kami pongah loe, minawk thuitaek kami to hnukkhuem ah pakoehhaih hak tih.
23One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
24Ampa hoi amno ih hmuenmae to lomh ah, zaehaih ah om ai, tiah thui kami loe, amrosak kami ih ampui ah ni oh.
24Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
25Amoekhaih palungthin tawn kami mah angzoehhaih to ohsak; toe Angraeng oep kami loe zok amhah tih.
25One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
26A poekhaih angoep kami loe kamthu ni; toe palunghahaih hoiah caeh kami loe loihaih to hnu tih.
26One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
27Kamtang abomh kami loe amtang mak ai; toe kamtang to hnu ai kami baktiah angsah kami loe, kasaethuihaih to hnu tih.
27One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
28Katoeng ai kami angraeng naah minawk mah anghawk taak; toe nihcae duek naah, katoeng kaminawk to qoeng o tahang tih.
28When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
