1A wise son is instructed of his father; but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2Hlang lai thaih lamloh a then khaw a cah dae, hnukpoh kah hinglu tah kuthlahnah la poeh.
2A man shall eat good from the fruit of his mouth; but the desire of the faithless is violence.
3A hinglu aka ngaithuen long tah a ka a tuem, a ka aka ang soeh khaw amah ham porhaknah la om.
3He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; but for him that openeth wide his lips there shall be ruin.
4Kolhnaw loh a ngaidam dae a hinglu a thum moenih. Tedae aka haam kah a hinglu tah hah ngaikhoek.
4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be abundantly gratified.
5Aka dueng loh a hong ol te a hmuhuet. Halang tah a borhim tih a hmai tal.
5A righteous man hateth lying; but a wicked man behaveth vilely and shamefully.

6Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7Boei tih ba aka khueh pawt khaw om, vawtthoek dae a boei a rhaeng aka coih khaw om.
7There is that pretendeth himself rich, yet hath nothing; there is that pretendeth himself poor, yet hath great wealth.

11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathereth little by little shall increase.

12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

13Whoso despiseth the word shall suffer thereby; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

17A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
18Khodaeng neh yah loh thuituennah a hlahpham tih, toelthamnah aka tuem tah a thangpom.
18Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
