Proverbs 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect weight is His delight.
1Angraeng loe katoeng ai tahhaih to pahnuet; toe katoeng tahhaih nuiah loe anghoehaih tawnh.
2When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
2Amoekhaih oh naah, azathaih to oh; toe minawk tlim ah khosah kami khaeah loe palunghahaih to oh.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.
3Poektoeng kami loe toenghaih mah zaeh; toe poeksae kami loe poeksethaih mah amrosak tih.
4Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
4Sithaw palungphui naah angraenghaih mah na bomh mak ai; toe toenghaih mah loe duekhaih thung hoiah pahlong.
5The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
5Coek koi om ai katoeng kami loe toenghaih mah loklam to hnuksak; toe kasae kami loe a sethaih mah amtimsak tik.
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.
6Katoeng kaminawk loe angmacae toenghaih mah nihcae to pahlong tih; toe sethaih sah kaminawk loe angmacae sethaih pongah aman o tih.
7When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.
7Kahoih ai kami duek naah, anih oephaih doeh anghma tih; poektoeng ai kaminawk ih oephaih loe anghmat.
8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
8Katoeng kami to raihaih thung hoiah pahlong, anih zuengah kasae kami nuiah raihaih to phak.
9With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
9Angsah thaih kami loe pronghaih lok hoiah a imtaeng kami to amrosak; toe katoeng kami loe palunghahaih hoiah loi tih.
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
10Katoeng kami khosak hoih naah, vangpui to anghoe; kasae kami duek naah loe, anghoe hoi hanghaih lok to oh.
11By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
11Katoeng kami tahamhoih naah, vangpui to pakoeh ah oh; toe kasae kami ih pakha mah loe vangpui to amrosak.
12He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.
12Palunghahaih tawn ai kami loe, a imtaeng kami to khet patoek; toe palunghahaih tawn kami loe a palai to ciipsak.
13He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
13Lokpung kami loe tamqu hmuen to taphong; toe oepthok kami loe tamqu hmuen to angphat.
14Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
14Zaehhoihaih om ai naah, prae kaminawk amro o; toe poekhaih paek thaih kami pop tawnh naah ngancuemhaih to oh.
15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.
15Angvin ih laiba pathok pae hanah lokkam kami loe poek angpho tih; toe to tiah lokkam ai kami loe mawnhaih tawn mak ai.
16A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
16Tahmenhaih tawn nongpata loe khingzahaih to hak; toe thahoih nongpanawk loe angraeng o.
17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
17Tahmenhaih tawn kami loe tangqum to hak; toe hmawsaeng kami loe a taksa raihaih paek kami ah ni oh.
18The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
18Kasae kami loe alinghaih atho to hnuk; toe toenghaih tuh kami loe amkhrai thai ai tangqum to hak.
19Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
19Toenghaih loe hinghaih ah oh baktih toengah, sethaih hnukah patom kami loe a duekhaih ni patom.
20They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
20Poek angkawn kami loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe toenghaih loklam pazui kami nuiah loe anghoehaih to tawnh.
21My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
21Kasae kaminawk loe nawnto amhong o cadoeh, danpaek ai ah om mak ai; toe katoeng kaminawk ih caa loe loihsak tih.
22As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.
22Khopoek thai ai kranghoih nongpata loe, ok tahmawh nui ih sui bantuek baktiah ni oh.
23The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
23Katoeng kami loe kahoih hmuen khue ni koeh; toe kasae kami ih oephaih loe palungphuihaih hae ni.
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
24Cangti haeh kami loe pop aep ah hak; angaihaih pong kamthlai ah patung kami loe amtang aep.
25The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.
25Kuuhoih kami loe angraeng; minawk han tuibawh kami loe, angmah doeh tuibawh ah om toeng tih.
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
26Cang zawh paawt kami loe, minawk mah kasae thui tih; toe cang zaw kami ih lu loe tahamhoihaih om tih.
27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.
27Kahoih hmuen pakrong kami loe hoihaih to hnuk; toe kahoih ai hmuen pakrong kami loe sethaih to hnu tih.
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.
28Angmah angraenghaih oep kami loe amtim tih; toe katoeng kami loe thingqam baktiah sai tih.
29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
29Angmah imthung raihaih paek kami loe takhi to qawk ah toep tih; amthu loe palungha kami ih tamna ah om tih.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
30Hinghaih thingkung loe toenghaih thingthai ah oh; palungha kami loe minawk hinghaih to pazawk.
31Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
31Khenah, katoeng kaminawk mataeng doeh long nuiah hnuk han koi atho to hnu o nahaeloe, Sithaw panoek ai kami hoi zaehaih sak koeh kaminawk cae loe kawkruk maw danpaekhaih atho to hnu o tih!
