King James Version with Apocrypha
1Hoehhamnah aka tlap loh hlang a paekboe sak tih, lungming cueihnah khaw boeih a thaih thil.
1Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2Lungcuei taengah hlang ang naep pawh, tedae amah kah lungbuei hliphen ham ni lat a om.
2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3Halang ha pawk vaengah nueihbu neh, yah neh kokhahnah la pai bal.
3When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4Hlang ka lamkah olka tah tui dung bangla, soklong ah aka phuet cueihnah thunsih la om.
4The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
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 overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6Hlang ang kah hmuilai tah tuituknah ham ha pawk uh tih, a bohnah te a ka loh a khue.
6A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7Hlang ang kah a ka tah amah kah porhaknah neh a hmuilai te a hinglu ham hlaeh la om.
7A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8Thet ol he didii bangla om tih, a bung khui la tluektluek kun.
8The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9A bibi dongah aka uelh khaw kutpo boei kah a manuca la om.
9He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
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 righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11Hlanglen kah a boeirhaeng tah amah ham sarhi aka tak khorha la om tih, a ngaihlih vaengah vongtung tluk a sang sak.
11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12Hlang he lungbuei aka sang taengah pocinah a lamhma pah tih, kodonah taengah thangpomnah a lamhma pah.
12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13A hnatun hlan ah ol aka thuung tah anglat ni. Amah khaw te nen te mingthae a phueih.
13He that answereth a matter before he heareth it , it is folly and shame unto him.
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 will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15Aka yakming kah lungbuei loh mingnah a lai tih aka cueih kah a hna loh mingnah a tlap.
15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16Hlang kah kutdoe he amah ham long a khui sak pah tih, amah te tanglue kah mikhmuh ah a mawt.
16A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
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.
17He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18Hohmuhnah te hmolunh loh a paa sak tih, aka tlung rhoi khaw rhak a phih.
18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19Boekoek boeina tah sarhi aka tak khorha lakah olpungkacan la om tih, hohmuhnah khaw impuei thohkalh bangla om.
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20Hlang tah a laithaih lamloh a bung hah tih, a hmuilai kah a vueithaih khaw kum.
20A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
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: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22Yuu aka lo long tah hnothen a dang tih, BOEIPA taengkah kolonah a dang bal.
22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing , and obtaineth favour of the LORD .
23Khodaeng loh huithuinah neh a voek dae, hlanglen loh a tlung neh a doo.
23The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24Hlang he a hui rhoek loh thaehuet thil cakhaw, a manuca lakah a lungnah tih aka ben khaw om van.
24A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
