Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built.
1Hlang cueih nu loh a im a sak dae, anglat long tah a kut neh a koengloeng.
2He that walketh in the right way, and feareth God, Cis despised by him that goeth by an infamous way.
2BOEIPA aka rhih tah a dueng la cet dae, a longpuei kho aka hmang loh BOEIPA a hnaep.
3In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.
3Hlang ang kah a ka ah hoemnah kuhci om tih, aka cueih rhoek kah hmuilai loh amamih te a ngaithuen sak.
4Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.
4Saelhung a om pawt vaengah kongduk khaw caih dae, vaito thadueng lamkah canghum cangpai thoeng.
5A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.
5Oltak rhoek kah laipai tah a laithae moenih. Tedae a honghi kah laipai long tah laithae ni a sat.
6A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.
6Hmuiyoi loh cueihnah a tlap dae a hong ni, mingnah he aka yakming ham tah yoeikoek mai.
7Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.
7Hlang ang te a hmai lamloh caeh tak, mingnah olka te na ming pawt ve.
8The wisdom of a. discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.
8Aka thaai kah cueihnah long tah a longpuei te a yakming dae, aka ang kah a anglat tah thailatnah ni.
9A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.
9Aka ang loh hmaithennah te a hnael dae, aka thuem long tah a laklo ah kolonah a saii.
10The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle.
10A hinglu khahingnah loh lungbuei a ming. Te dongah a kohoenah dongah rhalawt loh boi thil pawh.
11The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish.
11Halang rhoek kah im tah a phae pah vetih aka thuem kah dap tah rhoeng ni.
12There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death.
12Longpuei he hlang kah mikhmuh ah thuem dae a hmailong ah dueknah longpuei la om.
13Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow, and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy.
13Nueihbu dongah lungbuei loh thak a khoeih tih, a tloihsoi ah kohoenah khaw pha-ueknah la poeh.
14A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him.
14Lungbuei aka balkhong khaw, hlang then khaw a khosing te amah hah bitni.
15The innocent believeth every word: the discreet man considereth his steps. No good shall come to the deceitful son: but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings, and his way shall be made straight.
15Hlangyoe long tah olka boeih te a tangnah dae, aka thaai long tah a khokan te a yakming.
16A wise man feareth and declineth from evil: the fool leapeth over and is confident.
16Aka cueih long tah a rhih tih boethae te a nong tak. Tedae aka ang long tah a paan tih a omtoem.
17The impatient man shall work folly: and the crafty man is hateful.
17Thintoek bangkek loh a anglat a phoe tih, tangkhuepnah aka khueh hlang khaw a hmuhuet uh.
18The childish shall possess folly, and the prudent, shall look for knowledge.
18Hlangyoe loh anglat a pang tih, aka thaai rhoek loh mingnah te a muei uh.
19The evil shall fall down before the good: and the wicked before the gates of the just.
19Hlang thae rhoek te hlang then rhoek kah mikhmuh ah, halang rhoek te hlang dueng kah vongka ah ngam uh ni.
20The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.
20Khodaeng te a hui long khaw a hmuhuet tih, hlanglen tah muep a lungnah.
21He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy.
21A hui taengah aka hnoelrhoeng uh tah tholh tih, mangdaeng kodo aka rhen tah a yoethen.
22They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things.
22Boethae aka uep rhoek te kho a hmang uh moenih a? Tedae sitlohnah neh uepomnah long tah hnothen ni a caai thil.
23In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want.
23Patangnah cungkuem loh kumkonah a om sak. Tedae hmuilai dongkah ol bueng ngawn tah tloelnah la poeh.
24The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence.
24Khuehtawn he aka cueih rhoek kah a rhuisam la om tih, aka ang rhoek tah anglat la anglat coeng.
25A faithful witness delivereth souls: and the double dealer uttereth lies.
25Oltak kah laipai loh hinglu a huul tih, hlangthai palat loh laithae a sat.
26In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children.
26BOEIPA hinyahnah dongah pangtungnah sarhi khaw om, te dongah a ca rhoek ham hlipyingnah la om.
27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.
27BOEIPA hinyahnah tah hingnah thunsih neh, dueknah hlaeh lamloh aka phaelh sak la om.
28In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince.
28Pilnam kah cangpai dongah ni manghai kah rhuepomnah khaw a om, namtu a om pawt vaengah mangpa kah porhaknah la om.
29He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly.
29Thintoek aka ueh tah bahoeng a lungcuei tih, mueihla bangkek loh anglat ni a pomsang.
30Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones.
30Lungbuei hoeihnah tah pumsa kah hingnah la om tih, thatlainah khaw rhuh keet la poeh.
31He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his Maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him.
31Tattloel aka hnaemtaek loh amah aka saii ni a veet, BOEIPA aka thangpom long tah khodaeng a rhen.
32The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death.
32Halang tah a boethae ah bung tih, aka dueng tah a dueknah rhangneh ying.
33In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.
33Aka yakming kah lungbuei ah cueihnah khaw rhaehrhong tih, hlang ang lakli ah khaw ming uh coeng.
34Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable.
34Duengnah loh namtom a pomsang tih, tholhnah loh namtu te rhaidaeng la a khueh.
35A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.
35Manghai kah kolonah loh sal te a cangbam tih, a thinpom loh yah a bai.
