Proverbs 29
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
1Thuitaek pacoengah doeh angmah ih tahnong amtaksak kami loe, hoih thai ai, amrohaih to tong roep tih.
2When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
2Katoeng kami ukhaih kaa tawnh naah, kaminawk anghoe o; toe kahoih ai kami mah uk naah loe kaminawk palungset o.
3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
3Palunghahaih koeh kami loe ampa to anghoesak; toe tangzat zaw nongpata hoi angkom kami loe a tawnh ih hmuen to pasaeng boih.
4The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
4Toenghaih hoiah prae uk siangpahrang loe prae to caksak; toe bokhaih tangqum paekhaih koeh kami loe a prae to amtimsak.
5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
5A imtaeng pakoeh kami loe angmah aman hanah palok payang kami ah oh.
6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
6Kasae kami loe a zaehaih pongah amanh; toe katoeng kami loe anghoehaih hoiah laa to sak.
7The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
7Katoeng kami loe kamtangnawk hanah khopoek pae; toe kahoih ai kami loe tidoeh dawncang ai.
8Scornful men set a city in a blaze; but wise men turn away wrath.
8Minawk khet patoek kami loe vangpui to hmai angqongsak; toe palungha kami loe palungphuihaih to dipsak.
9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
9Palungha hoi kamthu loe lam nawnto a caeh hoi naah, kamthu loe palungphuihaih hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe pahnuihaih hoiah maw om cadoeh, monghaih roe tawn mak ai.
10The men of blood hate him that is sincere; and as for the upright, they seek his life.
10Minawk athii palong koeh kami loe katoeng kami to hnukma; toe katoeng kami loe minawk hinghaih to khet pae.
11A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
11Kamthu loe a poekhaih to taphong boih; toe palungha kami loe atue pha ai karoek to angphat.
12If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
12Ukkung mah amsawnlok to tahngai nahaeloe, a toksah tamnanawk boih loe kasae kami ah ni oh o.
13The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
13Kamtang hoi aling thaih kami anghmonghaih loe hae tiah oh; Angraeng mah ni nihnik hanah mik aanghaih to paek hmaek.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
14Siangpahrang mah kamtang to toenghaih hoiah lokcaek nahaeloe, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to cak poe tih.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
15Thuitaekhaih cung mah palunghahaih to paek; toe prawt sut ih caa mah loe amno to ahmin setsak.
16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
16Kasae kami pung naah, zaehaih doeh pung; toe katoeng kami mah loe nihcae amtimhaih to hnuk.
17Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
17Na caa to thuitaek ah, to tih nahaeloe anih mah poek monghaih to na paek tih; ue, anih mah poeknawmhaih to na paek tih.
18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
18Angzo han koi hmuen hnukhaih om ai ah loe kaminawk amro o; toe patuk ih lok pazui kami loe tahamhoih.
19A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
19Tamna loe kahoih lok khue hoi thuitaek han om ai; anih loe lok to thaih, toe thai ai baktiah om tih.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
20Poek het ai ah karangah lok apae kami to na hnuk maw? To kami pongah loe kamthu to oepthoh kue.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
21Tamna to nawkta nathuem hoiah kahoih ah khetzawn nahaeloe, hnukkhuem ah angmah ih caa ah angcoeng tih.
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
22Palungphui thaih kami mah angzoehhaih to tacawtsak, poek amthueng kami loe zaehaih sak pop.
23A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
23Amoekhaih mah kami to krahsak tathuk tih; toe kami tlim ah khosakhaih loe pakoehhaih ah oh.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
24Kamqu hoi amyok kami loe a hinghaih to hnukma; anih mah kasae thuihaih lok to thaih, toe taphong han zit.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
25Kami zithaih loe kami hanah patung ih dongh ah oh; toe Angraeng oep kami loe ngancuem tih.
26Many seek the ruler's favour; but a man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
26Kami paroeai mah ukkung koehhaih to pakrong o; toe kami loe Angraeng khae hoiah ni toenghaih to hnuk.
27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
27Katoeng kami mah toeng ai kami to panuet; katoeng ai kami mah toenghaih hoi khosah kami to panuet toengh.
