King James Version with Apocrypha
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
1Palungha nongpata loe a ohhaih im to sak; toe kamthu nongpata loe a im to a phraek.
2He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD : but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
2Angraeng zii kami loe katoeng loklam ah caeh; toe loklam amkhraeng kami loe Angraeng to khet patoek tihhaih ih ni.
3In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
3Kamthu ih pakha loe amoekhaih quiboeng ah oh; toe palungha kami ih pahni mah loe nihcae to pahlong tih.
4Where no oxen are , the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
4Maitaw om ai ahmuen ih maitaw okduk loe cai pin; toe maitaw ih tha hoiah cang to a hak mangh.
5A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
5Oep kaom hnukung loe kaminawk to aling ai; toe amsawn hnukung loe lok amlai.
6A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
6Minawk hnaphnae kami loe palunghahaih to pakrong, toe hnu ai; toe panoekhaih tawn kami hanah loe palungha zoidaek.
7Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
7Anih ih pahni ah palunghahaih om ai tiah na panoek nahaeloe, kamthu to om taak duem ah.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
8Palungha kami loe a caehhaih loklam to palunghahaih hoiah poek; toe kamthu ih amthuhaih loe alinghaih ah oh.
9Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
9Kamthu loe zaehaih to tiah doeh sah ai; toe katoeng kaminawk khaeah loe tahmenhaih to oh.
10The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
10Palung mah palungsethaih to panoek; mi mah doeh angmah anghoehaih to minawk han paek thai ai.
11The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
11Kasae kami ih im loe amro tih; toe katoeng kami ih kahni im loe aquih tacawt tih.
12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
12Kami maeto khaeah katoeng loklam maeto baktiah amtueng pae; toe boenghaih ah loe duekhaih loklam ah oh.
13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
13Palungsethaih amtueng han ai ah pahnui kami doeh om tih; anghoehaih doeh palungsethaih hoiah boeng thaih.
14The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
14Hnuk angnawn kami loe a tok sakhaih atho to hnu tih; toe kahoih kami loe a sak ih hmuen baktih toengah tangqum to hnu tih.
15The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
15Poek tawn ai kami loe minawk mah thuih ih loknawk boih to tang; toe palungha kami loe a caehhaih loklam to kahoih ah poek.
16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
16Palungha kami loe Angraeng to zit moe, sethaih to cawn taak; toe kamthu loe poekham moe misahoih.
17He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
17Poek amthueng kami loe amthuhaih hoiah toksak; kahoih ai hmuen sak pacaeng kami loe minawk mah hnuma tih.
18The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
18Poekhaih tawn ai kami loe amthuhaih to qawk ah toep; toe palungha kaminawk loe palunghahaih lumuek to angmuek o.
19The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
19Kahoih ai kami loe katoeng kami hmaa ah angam sut tih; kasae kami doeh katoeng kami ih khongkha taengah angam sut tih.
20The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
20Amtang kami loe a imtaeng kami mah doeh hnukma; toe angraeng loe ampui tawn mangh.
21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
21Kami zae loe a imtaeng kami to khet patoek; toe kamtang tahmen kami loe tahamhoih.
22Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
22Sethaih poek kaminawk loe loklam caeh pazae o boeh na ai maw? Toe kahoih hmuen poek kaminawk loe amlunghaih hoi oepthohhaih to hnuk o.
23In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
23Toksakhaih boih ah toksakhaih atho to oh; toe lok khue thui kami loe amtang tih.
24The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
24Palungha kaminawk ih angraenghaih loe angmacae ih sui lumuek ah oh; toe kamthunawk amthuhaih mah loe amthuhaih to tacawtsak aep.
25A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
25Tangtang hnukung mah loe hinghaih to pahlong; toe amsawn hnukung ah kaom kami loe amsawnlok to thuih.
26In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
26Angraeng zii kami loe kacak oephaih to tawn ueloe, a caanawk abuephaih ahmuen doeh tawn tih.
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
27Angraeng zithaih loe hinghaih tuipuek ah oh moe, duekhaih dongh thung hoiah loisakkung ah oh.
28In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
28Kami pop prae thungah loe siangpahrang lensawkhaih to cak; toe kami tamsi prae ah loe siangpahrang amrohaih ah oh.
29He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
29Panoekhaih kathuk kami loe palungsawk; toe poek amthueng kami loe amthuhaih to amtuengsak.
30A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
30Poekhoih palung mah taksa to ngantuisak; toe uthaih mah loe huhong to hmawnsak.
31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
31Kamtang pacaekthlaek kami loe angmah Sahkung to ni pacaekthlaek; toe Sithaw khingya kami loe kamtang nuiah palungnathaih to tawnh.
32The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
32Kasae kami loe a sethaih mah kraksak tathuk; toe katoeng kami loe duek naah doeh oephaih to tawnh.
33Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
33Palungha kami ih palung thungah palunghahaih to oh; toe kamthu ih palung thungah kaom hmuen loe amtueng phaeng.
34Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
34Toenghaih mah prae kaminawk to sangsak tahang; toe zaehaih loe kami boih kasaethuihaih ah oh.
35The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
35Siangpahrang loe palungha tamna nuiah anghoe; toe azatsak thaih tamna loe angraeng to palungphuisak.
