Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Hoehhamnah aka tlap loh hlang a paekboe sak tih, lungming cueihnah khaw boeih a thaih thil.
1He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
2Lungcuei taengah hlang ang naep pawh, tedae amah kah lungbuei hliphen ham ni lat a om.
2A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
3Halang ha pawk vaengah nueihbu neh, yah neh kokhahnah la pai bal.
3The wicked man when he is come into the depth of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.
4Hlang ka lamkah olka tah tui dung bangla, soklong ah aka phuet cueihnah thunsih la om.
4Words from the mouth of a men are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom as an overflowing stream.
5Halang kah a hmai khueh khaw then pawh, laitloeknah aka dueng te aka phaelh ham rhung ni.
5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.
6Hlang ang kah hmuilai tah tuituknah ham ha pawk uh tih, a bohnah te a ka loh a khue.
6The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
7Hlang ang kah a ka tah amah kah porhaknah neh a hmuilai te a hinglu ham hlaeh la om.
7The mouth of a fool is his destruction: and his lips are the ruin of his soul.
8Thet ol he didii bangla om tih, a bung khui la tluektluek kun.
8The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.
9A bibi dongah aka uelh khaw kutpo boei kah a manuca la om.
9He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works.
10BOEIPA ming tah sarhi ham rhaltoengim ni, hlang dueng tah a taengla yong tih a hoep a tlang.
10The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.
11Hlanglen kah a boeirhaeng tah amah ham sarhi aka tak khorha la om tih, a ngaihlih vaengah vongtung tluk a sang sak.
11The substance of the rich man is the city of his strength, and as a strong wall compassing him about.
12Hlang he lungbuei aka sang taengah pocinah a lamhma pah tih, kodonah taengah thangpomnah a lamhma pah.
12Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
13A hnatun hlan ah ol aka thuung tah anglat ni. Amah khaw te nen te mingthae a phueih.
13He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.
14Hlang he a tlohtat vaengah a mueihla loh a cangbam dae, mueihla a rhawp te u long a khoeng eh?
14The spirit of a man upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear?
15Aka yakming kah lungbuei loh mingnah a lai tih aka cueih kah a hna loh mingnah a tlap.
15A wise heart shall acquire knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh instruction.
16Hlang kah kutdoe he amah ham long a khui sak pah tih, amah te tanglue kah mikhmuh ah a mawt.
16A man’s gift enlargeth his may, and maketh him room before princes.
17A hui te ha pawk la ha pawk hlan tih amah a khe hlan atah, amah kah tuituknah dongah lamhma la aka dueng khaw om.
17The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
18Hohmuhnah te hmolunh loh a paa sak tih, aka tlung rhoi khaw rhak a phih.
18The lot suppresseth contentions, and determineth even between the mighty.
19Boekoek boeina tah sarhi aka tak khorha lakah olpungkacan la om tih, hohmuhnah khaw impuei thohkalh bangla om.
19A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.
20Hlang tah a laithaih lamloh a bung hah tih, a hmuilai kah a vueithaih khaw kum.
20Of the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.
21Lai kut dongah dueknah neh hingnah om tih, amah aka lungnah long ni a thaih te a caak eh.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
22Yuu aka lo long tah hnothen a dang tih, BOEIPA taengkah kolonah a dang bal.
22He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked.
23Khodaeng loh huithuinah neh a voek dae, hlanglen loh a tlung neh a doo.
23The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
24Hlang he a hui rhoek loh thaehuet thil cakhaw, a manuca lakah a lungnah tih aka ben khaw om van.
24A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.
