King James Version with Apocrypha
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
1Kahoih ai kami loe mi mah doeh patom ai to mah a cawnh; toe katoeng kaminawk loe kaipui baktiah misahoih o.
2For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
2Prae thungah zaehaih pung pongah, ukkung doeh pop; toe khopoek thaih kami hoi palungha kami hoiah ni prae to cak.
3A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
3Kamtang pacaekthlaek kami loe thingthai athaisak ai khotui baktiah oh.
4They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
4Patukhaih lok pahnawt kami loe kahoih ai kami to thapaek, toe patukhaih lok baktiah khosah kami loe nihcae ih lok to aek.
5Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things .
5Kasae kami loe toenghaih to panoek ai; toe Angraeng pakrong kami loe hmuen to panoek boih.
6Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
6Kahoih ai hmuen sah angraeng pongah loe toenghaih hoi khosah mithoe to hoih kue.
7Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
7Patukhaih lok pazui kami loe palungha kami ah oh; toe angzoeh koeh kami hoi ampui sah kami loe ampa to mikhmai setsak.
8He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
8Katoeng ai loklam hoiah hak ih phoisa hoi hmuenmae patung mangh kami loe, kamtang tahmen thaih kami hanah ni patung pae.
9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
9Patukhaih lok pazui ai kami loe, anih ih lawkthuihaih doeh panuet thoh.
10Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
10Katoeng kami loklam amkhraengsak kami loe, angmah ih tangqom thungah krah tih; toe katoeng kami loe kahoih hmuen to toep tih.
11The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
11Long angraeng loe angmah hoi angmah to palungha kami ah poek; toe poek thaihaih katawn mithoe loe anih pongah panoek kue.
12When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
12Katoeng kami palung anghoe naah, kating ai lensawkhaih to oh; kasae kami thacak naah loe kaminawk anghawk o king.
13He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
13Angmah ih zaehaih angphat kami loe khosak hoih mak ai; toe a zaehaih taphong moe, caehtaak kami loe, Sithaw palungnathaih to hnu tih.
14Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
14Angraeng zithaih tawn poe kami loe tahamhoih; toe palungthah kami loe raihaih thungah amtim tih.
15As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
15Ukkung kahoih ai loe hmawhsaeng kaipui, to tih ai boeh loe taqom baktiah oh.
16The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
16Panoekthaihaih tawn ai ukkung loe pacaekthlaek kami ah oh; toe uthaih hnuma kami loe hinglung sawk tih.
17A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
17Athii palong kami loe tangqom thungah caeh tih; anih to mi mah doeh angdoe haih hmah nasoe.
18Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
18Katoeng loklam ah caeh kami loe ngancuem tih; toe lam amkhraeng kami loe amtim roep tih.
19He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
19Lawk toksah kami loe caaknaek tawn mang tih; toe tidoeh avang ai kami hnukbang kami loe amtang tih.
20A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
20Oepthok kami loe tahamhoihaih hnu tih; toe karangah angraeng koeh kami loe toenghaih hoiah toksah mak ai.
21To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
21Minawk mikhmai khet han hoih ai; kami loe takaw kae maeto hak hanah kasae hmuen to sak thaih.
22He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
22Karangah angraeng koeh kami loe kahoih ai mik to tawnh; anih mah a nuiah amtanghaih pha tih, tito panoek ai.
23He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
23Pakha hoi pakoeh kami pongah loe, minawk thuitaek kami to hnukkhuem ah pakoehhaih hak tih.
24Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
24Ampa hoi amno ih hmuenmae to lomh ah, zaehaih ah om ai, tiah thui kami loe, amrosak kami ih ampui ah ni oh.
25He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
25Amoekhaih palungthin tawn kami mah angzoehhaih to ohsak; toe Angraeng oep kami loe zok amhah tih.
26He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
26A poekhaih angoep kami loe kamthu ni; toe palunghahaih hoiah caeh kami loe loihaih to hnu tih.
27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
27Kamtang abomh kami loe amtang mak ai; toe kamtang to hnu ai kami baktiah angsah kami loe, kasaethuihaih to hnu tih.
28When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
28Katoeng ai kami angraeng naah minawk mah anghawk taak; toe nihcae duek naah, katoeng kaminawk to qoeng o tahang tih.
