Berean Standard Bible
1Thangvuen khohnin ham te yan boeh, khohnin pakhat loh mebang hang khuen ham khaw na ming moenih.
1Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
2Hlanglak loh nang n'thangthen saeh lamtah, namah kah ka long boel saeh. Kholong long saeh lamtah, namah kah hmuilai long boel saeh.
2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth— a stranger, and not your own lips.
3Lungto kah a rhih neh laivin kah a khiing khaw om. Te rhoi lakkah hlang ang kah konoinah tah rhih.
3A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.
4Kosi kah a muennah neh thintoek lungpook khaw tho coeng dae, thatlainah hmai ah ulae aka pai thai?
4Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?
5Hmantang kah toelthamnah he, aka thuh uh lungnah lakah then.
5Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed.
6Lungnah dongah hlang loh n'tloh sak tah tangnah ham om dae, lunguet kah moknah tah rhoekoe.
6The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7Aka hah kah hinglu loh khoilitui pataeng a suntlae dae, aka pongnaeng kah hinglu long tah khahing khaw boeih a didip sak.
7The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.
8A hmuen lamkah aka poeng hlang khaw, a bu dong lamkah aka coe vaa bangla om.
8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home.
9Situi neh bo-ul loh lungbuei ko a hoe sak. Hinglu dongkah cilsuep loh a hui taengah olding la om.
9Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
10Namah hui neh olrhoep khaw na pa kah a hui khaw hnoo boeh. Rhainah hnin ah na manuca kah im te na cet pawt ve ne. A hla kah manuca lakah a yoei kah na imben te then ngai.
10Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
11Ka ca nang cueih lamtah ka lungbuei a kohoe saeh. Te daengah ni kai aka veet te ol ka thuung thai eh.
11Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, so that I can answer him who taunts me.
12Aka thaai long tah boethae a hmuh vaengah a thuh tak, hlangyoe rhoek long tah a paan uh dongah lai a sah uh.
12The prudent see danger and take cover; but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
13Hlanglak kah rhi a khang pah vaengah a himbai mah lo saeh, kholong nu ham atah a laikoi pa akhaw.
13Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.
14Mincang a thoh neh ol ue la a hui yoethen aka pae khaw, anih te rhunkhuennah lamni a nawt eh.
14If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.
15Hohmuhnah neh olpungkacan nu khaw, tlanbuk hnin vaengkah tuicip a puh neh vai uh.
15A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—
16Anih aka khoem te khohli aka khoem bangla, a bantang kut bueng neh situi aka paco bangla om.
16restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.
17Thi te thi loh a haat sak bangla, hlang khaw a hui kah mikhmuh long ni a haat sak.
17As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
18Thaibu aka kueinah loh a thaih a caak vetih, a boei kah bitat aka ngaithuen te a thangpom ni.
18Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
19Tui sokah maelhmai neh a maelhmai a loh uh bangla, hlang kah lungbuei he hlang taeng long ni a tueng.
19As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man.
20Saelkhui neh Abaddon, Abaddon long tah hah rhoi tlaih pawh. Hlang kah a mik he khaw hah tlaih pawh.
20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21Cak hamla cak am, sui hamla hmai-ulh om dae, hlang tah a ka dongkah a hoemnah ming uh.
21A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
22Hlang ang te sum khuikah canghum lakli ah sumkhal neh na daeng cakhaw a khui lamkah a anglat te coe mahpawh.
22Though you grind a fool like grain with mortar and a pestle, yet his folly will not depart from him.
23Na boiva kah a hmuethma te ming rhoe ming lah, tuping taengla na lungbuei te khueh.
23Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds;
24Khohrhang he kumhal ham moenih, rhuisam khaw cadilcahma kah cadilcahma, tekah cadilcahma patoeng duela nguel mahpawh.
24for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation.
25Sulrham khaw tlaai, toian khaw poe dae tlang kah baelhing bangla a coi uh.
25When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered,
26Tuca rhoek te na pueinak la, kikong te khohmuen phu la om.
26the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.
27Maae suktui carhil ngawn tah na buh la om. na imkhui ham khaw buh la, na hula ham khaw hingnah la coeng.
27You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed you— food for your household and nourishment for your maidservants.
