Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
1A hmuilai voeldak neh aka ang lakah amah kah thincaknah neh aka cet khodaeng he then ngai.
2Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
2Mingnah aka om pawh hinglu khaw then pawh, kho neh aka tanolh long khaw a hmaang.
3The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
3Hlang kah a anglat loh amah kah longpuei te a paimaelh pah hatah a lungbuei tah BOEIPA taengah a hmaital.
4Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
4Boeirhaeng tah paya khaw muep a thap pah dae, tattloel tah a baerhoep long pataeng te a nong tak.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
5A honghi kah laipai te hmil pawt vetih, laithae aka sat long khaw poenghal mahpawh.
6Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
6Hlangcong kah maelhmai tah muep a thae sak uh tih, hlang te hlang boeih loh kutdoe neh a paya nah uh.
7The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
7Manuca pataeng aka khodaeng te boeih a hmuhuet uh atah, a baerhoep aisat te a taeng lamloh a lakhla tak ta. A hloem bal akhaw amih te ol a om moenih.
8But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
8A hinglu aka lungnah long tah a lungbuei ah a lai tih, lungcuei long tah hnothen dang hamla a ngaithuen.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
9A honghi kah laipai te hmil pawt vetih, laithae aka sat khaw milh ni.
10Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Omthenbawnnah he hlang ang ham a rhoeprhui moenih, sal loh mangpa a taemrhai te bahoeng voel moenih.
11The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
11Hlang kah a lungming loh a thintoek khaw a hlawt pah dongah, boekoek te a boei a mang neh a poe.
12As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
12Manghai kah thinkoeh he sathueng bangla kawk dae, a kolonah he baelhing dongkah buemtui bangla om.
13A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
13Capa a anglat te a napa ham talnah la om tih, a yuu kah hohmuhnah khaw tuicip bangla puh.
14House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
14Im neh boeirhaeng he napa kah rho la om cakhaw, hlang aka cangbam yuu he tah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15Ngaknah he ih dongah moo tih, palyal khaw hinglu lamlum.
16He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
16Olpaek aka tuem loh a hinglu a ngaithuen tih, BOEIPA kah longpuei aka hnoel tah duek rhoe duek ni.
17He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
17BOEIPA kah puhlah long tah tattloel te a rhen tih, a thaphu te amah taengla a thuung ni.
18Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
18Ngaiuepnah a om vaengah na ca te toel lah, anih duek sak ham tah na hinglu te thak boeh.
19He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
19Kosi len kah hmulung te tholhphu la a phueih atah na huul cakhaw koep na koei hae ni.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
20cilsuep he hnatun lamtah thuituennah he doe lah. Te daengah ni na hmailong ah na cueih eh.
21There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
21Hlang kah lungbuei ah kopoek muep om cakhaw, BOEIPA kah cilsuep long ni a thoh sak.
22A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
22Hlang kah ngaihlihnah tah amah kah sitlohnah he ni. Tedae khodaeng he hlang laithae lakah then ngai.
23The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
23BOEIPA hinyahnah he tah hingnah la om tih, ngaikhuek la a rhaeh sak coeng dongah yoethae loh cawh voel pawh.
24The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
24Kolhnaw long tah bael dongla a kut a puei nawn pataeng a ka khuila a khuen moenih.
25The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
25Hmuiyoi te na boh daengah ni hlangyoe bangla a muet uh eh. A yakming la na tluung daengah ni mingnah te a phatuem pueng eh.
26He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
26A napa aka rhoelrhak tih, a manu aka yong sak capa tah yah a poh tih, a khosak khaw tal.
27Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
27Ka ca, mingnah olka lamloh palang ham a, thuituennah hnatun ham he na toeng.
28An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28Hlang muen kah laipai loh tiktamnah te a hnael tih, halang kah a ka loh boethae a dolh.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
29Hmuiyoi rhoek ham tholhphu neh anglat kah a nam ham bohnah a tawn uh coeng.
