Proverbs 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a perfect weight is His delight.
1Hlangthai palat kah cooi te BOEIPA kah tueilaehkoi tih, coilung a thuem te a kolonah la om.
2When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
2Althanah ha pawk vaengah yah khaw thoeng, tedae cueihnah tah kodo nen ni ha pawk.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.
3Aka thuem rhoek kah muelhtuetnah loh amamih te a mawt tih, hnukpoh rhoek kah a saveknah loh amamih te a rhoelrhak la a rhoelrhak sak.
4Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
4A thinpom khohnin ah tah a boeirhaeng nen khaw hoeikhang pawt vetih, duengnah long ni dueknah lamloh a huul eh.
5The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
5Duengnah long tah a longpuei te cuemthuek la a dueng sak tih, halang te a a halangnah loh a cungku sak.
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.
6Aka dueng rhoek tah duengnah loh a huul tih, hnukpoh rhoek tah talnah loh a tuuk.
7When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.
7Halang hlang kah dueknah dongah ngaiuepnah khaw moelh tih, thahuem kah ngaiuepnah khaw tahah.
8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
8Aka dueng tah citcai lamkah khaw pumcum tih anih yueng la halang taengla a pawk pah.
9With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
9Lailak kah a ka loh a hui a phae tih aka dueng kah mingnah rhangneh pumcum uh.
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
10Aka dueng kah thennah dongah ni khorha loh sundaep thil tih halang a milh vaengah tamlung a loh uh.
11By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
11Aka thuem rhoek kah yoethennah loh vangpuei a pomsang tih, halang kah a ka longtah a koengloeng.
12He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.
12Lungbuei aka talh loh a hui te a hnoel a rhoeng dae lungcuei hlang long tah hil a phah.
13He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
13Caemtuh a caeh vaengah baecenol te a hliphen tih mueihla ah tangnah koila aka om long tah olka a tuem.
14Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
14A niing a tal dongah pilnam cungku tih, uentonah a yet nen ni loeihnah a om.
15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.
15Kholong loh rhi a khang atah boethae loh thae a huet ni, Tedae kutyuh aka hnoel tah a pangtung uh.
16A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
16Huta mikdaithen loh thangpomnah te a moem tih, hlanghaeng loh khuehtawn a koi ni.
17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
17Sitlohnah aka khueh hlang loh a hinglu khaw a phai dae muenying muenyang loh a pumsa a lawn khoeng.
18The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
18Halang loh a honghi khaw thaphu la a saii tih, duengnah cangti aka tuh longtah oltak kutphu te a doe.
19Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
19Duengnah tah hingnah la pawk tih, boethae aka hloem khaw a dueknah ham ni.
20They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD; but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
20Lungbuei a voeldak tah BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, cuemthuek longpuei tah a kolonah la om.
21My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
21Kut sokah kut pataeng boethae a hmil moenih, tedae aka dueng kah tiingan tah loeih ni.
22As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.
22Sakthen nu khaw omih aka phaelh tah ok hnarhong dongkah sui hnaii banghui ni.
23The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
23Aka dueng rhoek long tah a then ngaiuepnah bueng ni a ngaihlihnah tih halang rhoek long tah thinpom a khueh.
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
24A khueh duen te a tael tih koep a koei pah, hloh malcal khaw tloelnah la om sumsoek.
25The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.
25yoethennah hinglu loh a doedan vetih, a tulcah dongah amah te khaw a suep van ni.
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
26Cangpai aka hloh te namtu loh a tap tih aka hlah te tah a lu ah yoethennah loh a vuei.
27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.
27A then aka toem loh kolonah a tlap tih, boethae aka tlap tah amah a thoeng thil.
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.
28A khuehtawn dongah aka pangtung tah cungku vetih aka dueng rhoek tah thinghnah bangla boe ni.
29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
29A imkhui aka lawn tah khohli a pang vetih, aka ang khaw lungbuei aka cueih taengah sal la om ni.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.
30Aka dueng kah a thaih tah hingnah thingkung la om tih, hinglu aka tuek ni aka cueih.
31Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
31Aka dueng pataeng diklai dongah a thuung atah halang neh laihmu aisat te a thuung ni ta.
