Proverbs 19
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
1Lok kangkoih ah apae thaih kamthu pongah loe, toenghaih loklam pazui amtang kami to hoih kue.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
2Kahoih ai poekhaih loe, panoekhaih tawn ai; tawt hoi khok takan kami loe loklam caeh pazae.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD .
3Kami amthuhaih mah a caehhaih loklam to amkhraengsak moe, palung thung hoiah Angraeng to kasae a thuih.
4Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
4Hmuenmae angraeng kami loe ampui tawnh mang; toe kamtang loe a imtaeng kami mah doeh caehtaak.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
5Amsoem ai hmuen hnukung ah om kami loe danpaek ai ah om mak ai; amsawnlok thui kami doeh loih mak ai.
6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
6Pop parai kaminawk loe ukkung palung anghoehaih to sak hanah koeh o; tangqum paek thaih kami loe kami boih hoiah ampui ah oh.
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him .
7Amtang kami loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah doeh hnukma o; angmah ih ampuinawk mah cae loe kawkruk maw ayae o taak tih! Anih loe tahmenhaih hnik hanah nihcae hnukah patom, toe nihcae mah anghmat o taak boih.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
8Palunghahaih tawn kami loe a hinghaih to palung; panoekhaih amtuk kami loe khosak hoihaih to hnu tih.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
9Amsoem ai hmuen hnukungah om kami loe danpaek ai ah om mak ai; amsawnlok thui kami loe amro tih.
10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Kamthu loe kahnaep ah khosak han krah ai; tamna mah angraengnawk uk hanah krah ai.
11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
11Palungha kami loe palungphuihaih to pauep thaih; minawk sakpazaehaih tahmen kami loe lensawkhaih to tawnh.
12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
12Siangpahrang palungphuihaih loe kahang kaipui baktiah oh moe, anih hoihhaih loe phroh nui ih dantui baktiah oh.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
13Caa kamthu loe ampa amrohaih ah oh, angzoeh koeh zu loe apet ai ah kaca tui baktiah oh.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD .
14Im hoi hmuenmae loe ampa ih qawk ah oh; toe palungha zu loe Angraeng khae hoi hak ih qawk ni.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15Thasae kami loe iih sawk, thasae kami pakhra loe zok amthlam tih.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
16Thuitaekhaih lok tahngai kami loe hinglung sawk; toe a caehhaih loklam patoek kami loe dueh tih.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
17Amtang khenzawn kami loe Angraeng hanah hmuen coi pae baktiah ni oh; anih loe a sak ih hmuen baktiah atho hnu let tih.
18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
18Thuitaek thaih koiah oh naah, na caa to thuitaek ah; anih qahhaih to tahmen hmah.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him , yet thou must do it again.
19Palungphui kami loe danpaekhaih to hnu tih; anih to na pahlong nahaeloe, anih to na pahlong tuektuek han angai tih.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
20Thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai ah loe, patukhaih lok to talawk ah, to tiah nahaeloe atue boeng naah palung na ha tih.
21There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD , that shall stand.
21Kami ih palung thungah sak atimhaih oh mangh; toe Angraeng khokhanhaih mah ni sak atimhaih to caksak tih.
22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
22Boeng thai ai amlunghaih loe kami mah koeh ih hmuen ah oh; amtang kami loe lok amlai kami pongah hoih kue.
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
23Angraeng zithaih loe hinghaih ah oh; to tiah poekhaih tawn kami loe koehhaih to acung tih; raihaih tidoeh tongh mak ai.
24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24Thasae kami loe saoek nui hoiah a ban to azuh moe, buh abah han mataeng doeh paqak.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
25Minawk tiah doeh sah ai kami to danpaek ah, poekhaih tawn ai kami to palungha lat tih; khopoek thaih kami to zoeh ah, palungha aep tih.
26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
26Ampa ih hmuenmae to pasaengh boih moe, amno to haek kami loe, azathaih paek capa, kasaethuihaih tongsak capa ah oh.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
27Ka capa, thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai ai ah na oh nahaeloe, thuitaek ih panoekhaih loknawk hoiah nam khraeng ving tih.
28An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28Lok amlai kami han hnukungah om kami loe, katoengah lokcaekhaih tiah doeh sah ai kami ah oh; kahoih ai kami loe kahoih ai hmuen to kakhraem caaknaek baktiah a caak.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
29Kami tiah doeh sah ai kami hanah danpaekhaih to oh, kamthu hanah loe bohhaih to oh.
