Proverbs 19
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
1A hmuilai voeldak neh aka ang lakah amah kah thincaknah neh aka cet khodaeng he then ngai.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
2Mingnah aka om pawh hinglu khaw then pawh, kho neh aka tanolh long khaw a hmaang.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD .
3Hlang kah a anglat loh amah kah longpuei te a paimaelh pah hatah a lungbuei tah BOEIPA taengah a hmaital.
4Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
4Boeirhaeng tah paya khaw muep a thap pah dae, tattloel tah a baerhoep long pataeng te a nong tak.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
5A honghi kah laipai te hmil pawt vetih, laithae aka sat long khaw poenghal mahpawh.
6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
6Hlangcong kah maelhmai tah muep a thae sak uh tih, hlang te hlang boeih loh kutdoe neh a paya nah uh.
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 .
7Manuca pataeng aka khodaeng te boeih a hmuhuet uh atah, a baerhoep aisat te a taeng lamloh a lakhla tak ta. A hloem bal akhaw amih te ol a om moenih.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
8A hinglu aka lungnah long tah a lungbuei ah a lai tih, lungcuei long tah hnothen dang hamla a ngaithuen.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
9A honghi kah laipai te hmil pawt vetih, laithae aka sat khaw milh ni.
10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Omthenbawnnah he hlang ang ham a rhoeprhui moenih, sal loh mangpa a taemrhai te bahoeng voel moenih.
11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
11Hlang kah a lungming loh a thintoek khaw a hlawt pah dongah, boekoek te a boei a mang neh a poe.
12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
12Manghai kah thinkoeh he sathueng bangla kawk dae, a kolonah he baelhing dongkah buemtui bangla om.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
13Capa a anglat te a napa ham talnah la om tih, a yuu kah hohmuhnah khaw tuicip bangla puh.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD .
14Im neh boeirhaeng he napa kah rho la om cakhaw, hlang aka cangbam yuu he tah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15Ngaknah he ih dongah moo tih, palyal khaw hinglu lamlum.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
16Olpaek aka tuem loh a hinglu a ngaithuen tih, BOEIPA kah longpuei aka hnoel tah duek rhoe duek ni.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
17BOEIPA kah puhlah long tah tattloel te a rhen tih, a thaphu te amah taengla a thuung ni.
18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
18Ngaiuepnah a om vaengah na ca te toel lah, anih duek sak ham tah na hinglu te thak boeh.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him , yet thou must do it again.
19Kosi len kah hmulung te tholhphu la a phueih atah na huul cakhaw koep na koei hae ni.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
20cilsuep he hnatun lamtah thuituennah he doe lah. Te daengah ni na hmailong ah na cueih eh.
21There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD , that shall stand.
21Hlang kah lungbuei ah kopoek muep om cakhaw, BOEIPA kah cilsuep long ni a thoh sak.
22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
22Hlang kah ngaihlihnah tah amah kah sitlohnah he ni. Tedae khodaeng he hlang laithae lakah then ngai.
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
23BOEIPA hinyahnah he tah hingnah la om tih, ngaikhuek la a rhaeh sak coeng dongah yoethae loh cawh voel pawh.
24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24Kolhnaw long tah bael dongla a kut a puei nawn pataeng a ka khuila a khuen moenih.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
25Hmuiyoi te na boh daengah ni hlangyoe bangla a muet uh eh. A yakming la na tluung daengah ni mingnah te a phatuem pueng eh.
26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
26A napa aka rhoelrhak tih, a manu aka yong sak capa tah yah a poh tih, a khosak khaw tal.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
27Ka ca, mingnah olka lamloh palang ham a, thuituennah hnatun ham he na toeng.
28An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28Hlang muen kah laipai loh tiktamnah te a hnael tih, halang kah a ka loh boethae a dolh.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
29Hmuiyoi rhoek ham tholhphu neh anglat kah a nam ham bohnah a tawn uh coeng.
