Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.
1Mongkawt la hlatnah loh kosi khaw a hlam tih, patangnah ol loh thintoek khaw a soeh.
2The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.
2Aka cueih kah a ol loh mingnah te a hloeihhlam tih, aka ang rhoek a ka loh a anglat te a thaa.
3The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.
3BOEIPA kah a mik loh hmuen ta kuem kah a thae a then te a tawt.
4A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
4Ol dongah hoeihnah aka om tah hingnah thingkung la om tih, a khuiah saveknah khaw mueihla pocinah ham ni.
5A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
5Aka ang loh a napa kah thuituennah te a tlaitlaek tih, toelthamnah aka ngaithuen tah muet uh.
6The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
6Hlang dueng kah im ah khohrhang khaw khawk, tedae halang kah a cangthaih long tah hlang a lawn.
7The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
7Hlang cueih rhoek long tah mingnah te a haeh dae, aka ang kah lungbuei tah te tlam moenih.
8The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
8Halang kah hmueih te BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, aka thuem kah thangthuinah te a kolonah la a khueh.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
9Halang kah longpuei tah BOEIPA kah tueilaehkoi tih, duengnah aka hloem tah a lungnah.
10Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
10Thuituennah caehlong aka hnoo ham tah thae tih, toelthamnah aka hmuhuet tah duek ni.
11Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men?
11Saelkhui neh Abaddon pataeng BOEIPA hmaiah a phoe atah, hlang ca rhoek kah lungbuei aisat te.
12A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
12Amah a toel ham te hmuiyoi loh a lungnah pawt dongah, aka cueih te khaw paan laklo pawh.
13A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief of mind the spirit is cast down.
13Lungbuei, ko aka hoe tah a maelhmai hlampan tih, lungbuei kah nganboh loh mueihla a rhawp sak.
14The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
14Aka yakming kah lungbuei long tah mingnah khaw mikhmuh khaw a tlap, tedae aka ang kah a ka loh anglat a luem puei.
15All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.
15Mangdaeng rhoek kah a khohnin tah boeih thae, tedae lungbuei aka then tah buhkoknah toei toei om.
16Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,
16Thakvoh len tih a khuiah soekloeknah a om lakah BOEIPA hinyahnah dongkah tah a yol khaw then.
17It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
17Buhkak ansam khaw lungnah n'caak atah, hmuhuetnah neh n'caak vaito thapaduek lakah then.
18A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient appeaseth those that are stirred up.
18Olpungkacan aka huek hlang he sue la om tih, thintoek aka ueh loh tuituknah khaw a duem sak.
19The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.
19Kolhnaw kah longpuei tah hling a buk banghui la om tih, aka thuem kah caehlong tah a picai pah.
20A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.
20Ca aka cueih loh a napa ko a hoe sak tih, tongpa aka ang loh a manu a hnaep.
21Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.
21Lungbuei aka talh ham tah a anglat te a kohoenah tih, hlang lungcuei tah a caeh dueng.
22Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.
22Baecenol pawt atah kopoek bing tih, a cungkuem taengah aka uen tah pai.
23A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.
23A ka dongkah hlatnah loh hlang ham kohoenah la om tih, olka khaw amah tuetang vaengah tah then tloe pai.
24The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell.
24Hlang aka cangbam ham tah saelkhui laedil lamloh hoeptlang hamla hingnah caehlong om hang.
25The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.
25Thinthah im tah BOEIPA loh a phil pah tih, nuhmai kah rhi te a suem pah.
26Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
26Kopoek thae he BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, ol then te a omthennah.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.
27Mueluemnah dongkah aka mueluem loh a imkhui a lawn tih, kutdoe aka thiinah tah hing ni.
28The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
28Hlang dueng kah lungbuei loh ol doo ham khaw a thuep tih, halang kah a ka loh boethae a thaa.
29The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.
29BOEIPA loh halang te a lakhla tak tih, aka dueng kah thangthuinah te a hnatun pah.
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.
30Mik kah vangnah loh lungbuei ko a hoe sak tih, olthang then loh rhuhrhong a cang sak.
31The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.
31Hna dongah toelthamnah aka hnatun tah hingnah la om tih, hlang cueih lakli ah rhaehrhong ni.
32He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
32Thuituennah aka hlahpham loh a hinglu a hnawt tih, toelthamnah aka hnatun tah lungbuei a lai.
33The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
33BOEIPA hinyahnah he cueihnah neh thuituennah la om tih kodonah tah thangpomnah mikhmuh ah a lamhma pah.
