1Khohal kah vuelsong neh cangah vaengkah khotlan baghui la, thangpomnah khaw hlang ang neh rhoeprhui tangloeng pawh.
1Like snow in summer and rain at harvest, honor does not befit a fool.
2Vaa a rhaehba bangla, pumpil a ding bangla, rhunkhuennah he lunglilungla la a thoeng moenih.
2Like a fluttering sparrow or darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
3Marhang ham rhuihet, laak ham kamrhui, aka ang rhoek kah a nam ham cungcik om.
3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!
4Hlang ang kah a anglat te doo boeh, namah khaw anih bangla na om ve.
4Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be like him.
5Hlang ang te a anglat bangla a doo dae, a mikhmuh ah hlang cueih la om hae mahpawh.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he become wise in his own eyes.
6Hlang ang kut ah ol aka pat tah a kho a kuet tih kuthlahnah aka mam la om.
6Like cutting off one’s own feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool.
7Aka khaem kah a kho sut a bat banghui la, hlang ang rhoek ka kah thuidoeknah he khaw om.
7Like lame legs hanging limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
8Hlang ang taengah thangpomnah paek he, payai dongah lungto mop banghui la om tangloeng.
8Like binding a stone into a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.

9Like a thorn that falls into the hand of a drunkard is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10Hlang ang aka paang boeih khaw aka cetpaitai a paang tih lithen a poeih banghui la om.
10Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or passerby.
11Ui loh a lok a paan banghui la hlang ang loh a anglat te a khoep.
11As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
12Hlang he amah mikhmuh ah tah aka cueih la na hmuh. Anih lakah hlang ang ham ngaiuepnah om ta.
12Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13Kolhnaw loh, “Longpuei ah sathueng ca, toltung ah sathueng om,” a ti.
13The slacker says, “A lion is in the road! A fierce lion roams the public square!”
14thohkhaih loh thohrhui dongah a tinghil bangla, kolhnaw khaw amah thingkong dongah suvaih.
14As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.
15Kolhnaw loh bael dongah a kut a puei te, a ka dongla koep a khuen ham pataeng a ngak.
15The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16Kolhnaw he amah mikhmuh ah tah, omih neh aka thuung hlang parhih lakah aka cueih la ngai uh.
16The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
17Amah hut pawt ah tuituknah khuiah aka kun khaw, aka cetpaitai loh ui hna a doek banghui la om.
17Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18Thaltang neh dueknah hmaipom aka dong loh hlang a khah bangla,
18Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows,
19A hui aka phok hlang van loh, “Ka luem mailai moenih a?,” a ti.
19so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
20Thing a tlum atah hmai a thi bangla a thet pawt daengah ni olpungkacan a paa.
20Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, a conflict ceases.
21Hmai-alh dongah hmaisa-aek, hmai dongah thing a pup vanbangla, hohmuhnah neh olpungkacan aka saii hlang loh tuituknah a puek sak.
21Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22Thet ol he didii tih bungko khui la suntla.
22The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
23Lungbuei thae neh a lai hmai la aka alh tah, paikaek dongkah cakhli a ben banghui ni.
23Like glaze covering an earthen vessel are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24A hmuilai dongkah a hmuhuet te a ka dongah loha coeng dae, a khui kah hlangthai palat te a thuh bal pueng.
24A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart.
25A ol tah rhen koemboei la om dae, anih te tangnah boeh. A lungbuei ah tueilaehkoi parhih om.
25When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart.
26hmuhuetnah te thailainah neh dah cakhaw, hlangping taengah a boethae ni a yan eh.
26Though his hatred is concealed by deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27Vaam aka vuet khaw amah loh a cungku thil vetih, lungto aka palet khaw amah soah koep mael ni.
27He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
28Laithae ol loh amah aka hnaep aka hnap te a hmuhuet tih, a ka aka hnal khaw a ponah ni a saii.
28A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
