Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it.
1Manghai kah a lungbuei tah sokca tui bangla BOEIPA kut dongah om tih, a ngaih bangla boeih a hoihaeng.
2Every way of a man seemeth right to himself: but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
2Longpuei boeih he hlang loh amah mikhmuh nen tah a thuem sak. Tedae BOEIPA long tah lungbuei ni a khiing a lang.
3To do mercy and judgment, pleaseth the Lord more than victims.
3Duengnah neh tiktamnah saii ham te BOEIPA loh hmueih lakah a ngaih.
4Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin.
4Mik dongkah buhuengpomnah neh lungbuei a mungkung he halang rhoek kah tholhnah hmaithoi ni.
5The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want.
5Bi haam kah kopoek tah kumkonah la om yoeyah tih, aka cukhat boeih khaw tloelnah la om yoeyah.
6He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death.
6A hong ol lamkah bisai neh thakvoh tah ahonghi la huu tih, dueknah ni kang a toem coeng.
7The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment.
7Halang loh a tiktam la saii ham a aal dongah, amamih kah a rhoelrhanah loh amamih a hmuh bitni.
8The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right.
8A ko aka boi hlang kah longpuei tah kawn dae, aka cil tah a bisai a thuem pah.
9It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house.
9Hohmuhnah la aka om yuu neh hoilh aka khueh kah im lakah tah, imphu bangkil ah khosak te then ngai.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour.
10Halang kah a hinglu long tah boethae a ngaidam tih, a mikhmuh kah a hui te khaw rhen pawh.
11When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge.
11Hmuiyoi loh lai a sah vaengah hlangyoe khaw cueih tih, a cueih hamla a cangbam vaengah mingnah khaw a dang.
12The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil.
12Hlang dueng long tah halang imkhui khaw a cangbam mai dae, halang rhoek long tah a thae la a paimaelh.
13He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard.
13Tattloel kah a doek te a hna aka buem thil tah, amah a pang van vaengah doo uh mahpawh.
14A secret present quencheth anger: and a gift in the bosom the greatest wrath.
14A huephael kah kutdoe loh thintoek, a rhang dongkah kapbaih loh kosi aka tlung te a daeh sak.
15It is joy to the just to do judgment: and dread to them that work iniquity.
15Hlang dueng hamtah tah a tiktamnah a saii te kohoenah la om tih, boethae aka saii rhoek ham tah porhaknah la om.
16A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants.
16Hlang aka cangbam kah longpuei lamloh kho aka hmang hlang tah, sairhai kah hlangping lakli ah duem.
17He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich.
17Kohoenah aka lungnah aih khaw hlang kah a tloelnah la poeh tih, misurtui neh situi aka lungnah khaw boei mahpawh.
18The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous.
18Halang te hlang dueng ham, hnukpoh te aka thuem ham tlansum la om.
19It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.
19Hohmuhnah, konoinah neh yuu taengah olpungkacan la om lakah tah, khosoek khohmuen ah khosak he then ngai.
20There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it.
20Hlang cueih tolkhoeng kah thakvoh neh situi tah a naikap dae, hlang ang long tah te te a yoop.
21He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory.
21Duengnah neh sitlohnah aka hloem long tah, duengnah neh thangpomnah dongkah hingnah te a dang ni.
22The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof.
22Hlangrhalh rhoek kah khopuei te hlang cueih pakhat long ni a paan tih, a sarhi la a pangtungnah uh khaw a phil pah.
23He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress.
23A ol a ka aka tuem long tah, a hinglu te citcai khui lamkah a hoep a tlang.
24The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride.
24Thinlen, moemlal, a ming ah hmuiyoi long tah, thinpom althanah neh a saii.
25Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all.
25A kut loh a saii ham a aal dongah kolhnaw kah hoehhamnah loh amah a duek sak ni.
26He longeth and desireth all the day: but he that is just, will give, and will not cease.
26Hnin takuem ah hoehhamnah te a ngaidam dae, aka dueng long tah a paek phoeiah khaw a hnaih moneih.
27The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.
27Halang kah hmueih he tueilaehkoi ti bal vaengah, khonuen rhamtat la a khuen bal pueng.
28A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory.
28Laithae kah laipai tah paltham vetih, aka hnatun hlang long ni a thui yoeyah eh.
29The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way.
29Halang loh a mikhmuh dawk neh hlang a tanglue sak. Tedae aka thuem long tah a long, long ah a rhuep tih a yakming.
30There is no wisdom, there is no prudence, there is no counsel against the Lord.
30BOEIPA aka tlai thil thai cueihnah khaw om pawh, lungcuei khaw om pawh, cilsuep khaw om thai pawh.
31The horse is prepared for the day of battle: but the Lord giveth safety.
31Marhang khaw caemtloek hnin kah ham a tawn coeng dae, BOEIPA daengah ni loeihnah a dang.
