Proverbs 15
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
1Mongkawt la hlatnah loh kosi khaw a hlam tih, patangnah ol loh thintoek khaw a soeh.
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
2Aka cueih kah a ol loh mingnah te a hloeihhlam tih, aka ang rhoek a ka loh a anglat te a thaa.
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
3BOEIPA kah a mik loh hmuen ta kuem kah a thae a then te a tawt.
4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
4Ol dongah hoeihnah aka om tah hingnah thingkung la om tih, a khuiah saveknah khaw mueihla pocinah ham ni.
5A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
5Aka ang loh a napa kah thuituennah te a tlaitlaek tih, toelthamnah aka ngaithuen tah muet uh.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
6Hlang dueng kah im ah khohrhang khaw khawk, tedae halang kah a cangthaih long tah hlang a lawn.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
7Hlang cueih rhoek long tah mingnah te a haeh dae, aka ang kah lungbuei tah te tlam moenih.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD : but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
8Halang kah hmueih te BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, aka thuem kah thangthuinah te a kolonah la a khueh.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
9Halang kah longpuei tah BOEIPA kah tueilaehkoi tih, duengnah aka hloem tah a lungnah.
10Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
10Thuituennah caehlong aka hnoo ham tah thae tih, toelthamnah aka hmuhuet tah duek ni.
11Hell and destruction are before the LORD : how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
11Saelkhui neh Abaddon pataeng BOEIPA hmaiah a phoe atah, hlang ca rhoek kah lungbuei aisat te.
12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
12Amah a toel ham te hmuiyoi loh a lungnah pawt dongah, aka cueih te khaw paan laklo pawh.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
13Lungbuei, ko aka hoe tah a maelhmai hlampan tih, lungbuei kah nganboh loh mueihla a rhawp sak.
14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
14Aka yakming kah lungbuei long tah mingnah khaw mikhmuh khaw a tlap, tedae aka ang kah a ka loh anglat a luem puei.
15All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
15Mangdaeng rhoek kah a khohnin tah boeih thae, tedae lungbuei aka then tah buhkoknah toei toei om.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
16Thakvoh len tih a khuiah soekloeknah a om lakah BOEIPA hinyahnah dongkah tah a yol khaw then.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
17Buhkak ansam khaw lungnah n'caak atah, hmuhuetnah neh n'caak vaito thapaduek lakah then.
18A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
18Olpungkacan aka huek hlang he sue la om tih, thintoek aka ueh loh tuituknah khaw a duem sak.
19The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
19Kolhnaw kah longpuei tah hling a buk banghui la om tih, aka thuem kah caehlong tah a picai pah.
20A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
20Ca aka cueih loh a napa ko a hoe sak tih, tongpa aka ang loh a manu a hnaep.
21Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
21Lungbuei aka talh ham tah a anglat te a kohoenah tih, hlang lungcuei tah a caeh dueng.
22Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
22Baecenol pawt atah kopoek bing tih, a cungkuem taengah aka uen tah pai.
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it !
23A ka dongkah hlatnah loh hlang ham kohoenah la om tih, olka khaw amah tuetang vaengah tah then tloe pai.
24The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
24Hlang aka cangbam ham tah saelkhui laedil lamloh hoeptlang hamla hingnah caehlong om hang.
25The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
25Thinthah im tah BOEIPA loh a phil pah tih, nuhmai kah rhi te a suem pah.
26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD : but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
26Kopoek thae he BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, ol then te a omthennah.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
27Mueluemnah dongkah aka mueluem loh a imkhui a lawn tih, kutdoe aka thiinah tah hing ni.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
28Hlang dueng kah lungbuei loh ol doo ham khaw a thuep tih, halang kah a ka loh boethae a thaa.
29The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
29BOEIPA loh halang te a lakhla tak tih, aka dueng kah thangthuinah te a hnatun pah.
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
30Mik kah vangnah loh lungbuei ko a hoe sak tih, olthang then loh rhuhrhong a cang sak.
31The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
31Hna dongah toelthamnah aka hnatun tah hingnah la om tih, hlang cueih lakli ah rhaehrhong ni.
32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
32Thuituennah aka hlahpham loh a hinglu a hnawt tih, toelthamnah aka hnatun tah lungbuei a lai.
33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
33BOEIPA hinyahnah he cueihnah neh thuituennah la om tih kodonah tah thangpomnah mikhmuh ah a lamhma pah.
