1Better a dry morsel in quietness than a house full of feasting with strife.

2A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and share his inheritance as one of the brothers.

3A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but the LORD is the tester of hearts.

5He who mocks the poor insults their Maker; whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished.
6Ca rhoek kah a ca rhoek tah patong rhoek kah rhuisam la om tih a napa rhoek te khaw ca rhoek kah a boei a mang la om.
6Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of a son is his father.

7Eloquent words are unfit for a fool; how much worse are lying lips to a ruler!

8A bribe is a charm to its giver; wherever he turns, he succeeds.

9Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but he who brings it up separates friends.

10A rebuke cuts into a man of discernment deeper than a hundred lashes cut into a fool.

11An evil man seeks only rebellion; a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.

13If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never leave his house.
14Olpungkacan a tongnah tah tui a cae sak. Te dongah tuituknah a puek hlanah huu laeh.
14To start a quarrel is to release a flood; so abandon the dispute before it breaks out.
15Halang aka tang sak neh hlang dueng aka boe sak, amih rhoi bang te BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi ni.
15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous— both are detestable to the LORD.
16Cueihnah lai ham hlang ang kut dongkah a phu te ba ham lae, a lungbuei neh a om hae moenih.
16Why should the fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?
17A tue boeih dongah a hui aka lungnah loh, citcai vaengkah ham manuca a cun.
17A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

19He who loves transgression loves strife; he who builds his gate high invites destruction.

20The one with a perverse heart finds no good, and he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.
21Amah kah a pha-ueknah ham hlang ang te a cun, te dongah hlang ang kah a napa tah a ko a hoe moenih.
21A man fathers a fool to his own grief; the father of a fool has no joy.
22Lungbuei kohoe he si la a hoeih sak tih, mueihla a rhawp vaengah songrhuh khaw a koh sak.
22A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

23A wicked man takes a covert bribe to subvert the course of justice.

26It is surely not good to punish the innocent or to flog a noble for his honesty.
27A ol aka tuem tah mingnah te aka ming la om tih, mueihla phu tlo aka dingsuek tah hlang lungcuei ni.
27A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.
28Hlang ang pataeng a hil a phah atah aka cueih la, a ka a buem atah aka yakming la a ngai coeng.
28Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent, and discerning when he holds his tongue.
