1The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.
1Kahoih ai kami loe mi mah doeh patom ai to mah a cawnh; toe katoeng kaminawk loe kaipui baktiah misahoih o.
2For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.
2Prae thungah zaehaih pung pongah, ukkung doeh pop; toe khopoek thaih kami hoi palungha kami hoiah ni prae to cak.
3A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.
3Kamtang pacaekthlaek kami loe thingthai athaisak ai khotui baktiah oh.
4They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.
4Patukhaih lok pahnawt kami loe kahoih ai kami to thapaek, toe patukhaih lok baktiah khosah kami loe nihcae ih lok to aek.
5Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.
5Kasae kami loe toenghaih to panoek ai; toe Angraeng pakrong kami loe hmuen to panoek boih.
6Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.
6Kahoih ai hmuen sah angraeng pongah loe toenghaih hoi khosah mithoe to hoih kue.
7He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
7Patukhaih lok pazui kami loe palungha kami ah oh; toe angzoeh koeh kami hoi ampui sah kami loe ampa to mikhmai setsak.
8He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.
8Katoeng ai loklam hoiah hak ih phoisa hoi hmuenmae patung mangh kami loe, kamtang tahmen thaih kami hanah ni patung pae.
9He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.
9Patukhaih lok pazui ai kami loe, anih ih lawkthuihaih doeh panuet thoh.
10He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.
10Katoeng kami loklam amkhraengsak kami loe, angmah ih tangqom thungah krah tih; toe katoeng kami loe kahoih hmuen to toep tih.
11The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out.
11Long angraeng loe angmah hoi angmah to palungha kami ah poek; toe poek thaihaih katawn mithoe loe anih pongah panoek kue.
12In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.
12Katoeng kami palung anghoe naah, kating ai lensawkhaih to oh; kasae kami thacak naah loe kaminawk anghawk o king.
13He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.
13Angmah ih zaehaih angphat kami loe khosak hoih mak ai; toe a zaehaih taphong moe, caehtaak kami loe, Sithaw palungnathaih to hnu tih.
14Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.
14Angraeng zithaih tawn poe kami loe tahamhoih; toe palungthah kami loe raihaih thungah amtim tih.
15As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.
15Ukkung kahoih ai loe hmawhsaeng kaipui, to tih ai boeh loe taqom baktiah oh.
16A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.
16Panoekthaihaih tawn ai ukkung loe pacaekthlaek kami ah oh; toe uthaih hnuma kami loe hinglung sawk tih.
17A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
17Athii palong kami loe tangqom thungah caeh tih; anih to mi mah doeh angdoe haih hmah nasoe.
18He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
18Katoeng loklam ah caeh kami loe ngancuem tih; toe lam amkhraeng kami loe amtim roep tih.
19He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.
19Lawk toksah kami loe caaknaek tawn mang tih; toe tidoeh avang ai kami hnukbang kami loe amtang tih.
20A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.
20Oepthok kami loe tahamhoihaih hnu tih; toe karangah angraeng koeh kami loe toenghaih hoiah toksah mak ai.
21He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.
21Minawk mikhmai khet han hoih ai; kami loe takaw kae maeto hak hanah kasae hmuen to sak thaih.
22A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.
22Karangah angraeng koeh kami loe kahoih ai mik to tawnh; anih mah a nuiah amtanghaih pha tih, tito panoek ai.
23He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.
23Pakha hoi pakoeh kami pongah loe, minawk thuitaek kami to hnukkhuem ah pakoehhaih hak tih.
24He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
24Ampa hoi amno ih hmuenmae to lomh ah, zaehaih ah om ai, tiah thui kami loe, amrosak kami ih ampui ah ni oh.
25He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.
25Amoekhaih palungthin tawn kami mah angzoehhaih to ohsak; toe Angraeng oep kami loe zok amhah tih.
26He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
26A poekhaih angoep kami loe kamthu ni; toe palunghahaih hoiah caeh kami loe loihaih to hnu tih.
27He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.
27Kamtang abomh kami loe amtang mak ai; toe kamtang to hnu ai kami baktiah angsah kami loe, kasaethuihaih to hnu tih.
28When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.
28Katoeng ai kami angraeng naah minawk mah anghawk taak; toe nihcae duek naah, katoeng kaminawk to qoeng o tahang tih.
