1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but accurate weights are his delight.
1Angraeng loe katoeng ai tahhaih to pahnuet; toe katoeng tahhaih nuiah loe anghoehaih tawnh.
2When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
2Amoekhaih oh naah, azathaih to oh; toe minawk tlim ah khosah kami khaeah loe palunghahaih to oh.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
3Poektoeng kami loe toenghaih mah zaeh; toe poeksae kami loe poeksethaih mah amrosak tih.
4Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
4Sithaw palungphui naah angraenghaih mah na bomh mak ai; toe toenghaih mah loe duekhaih thung hoiah pahlong.
5The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
5Coek koi om ai katoeng kami loe toenghaih mah loklam to hnuksak; toe kasae kami loe a sethaih mah amtimsak tik.
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
6Katoeng kaminawk loe angmacae toenghaih mah nihcae to pahlong tih; toe sethaih sah kaminawk loe angmacae sethaih pongah aman o tih.
7When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
7Kahoih ai kami duek naah, anih oephaih doeh anghma tih; poektoeng ai kaminawk ih oephaih loe anghmat.
8A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
8Katoeng kami to raihaih thung hoiah pahlong, anih zuengah kasae kami nuiah raihaih to phak.
9With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
9Angsah thaih kami loe pronghaih lok hoiah a imtaeng kami to amrosak; toe katoeng kami loe palunghahaih hoiah loi tih.
10When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
10Katoeng kami khosak hoih naah, vangpui to anghoe; kasae kami duek naah loe, anghoe hoi hanghaih lok to oh.
11By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
11Katoeng kami tahamhoih naah, vangpui to pakoeh ah oh; toe kasae kami ih pakha mah loe vangpui to amrosak.
12One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
12Palunghahaih tawn ai kami loe, a imtaeng kami to khet patoek; toe palunghahaih tawn kami loe a palai to ciipsak.
13One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
13Lokpung kami loe tamqu hmuen to taphong; toe oepthok kami loe tamqu hmuen to angphat.
14Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
14Zaehhoihaih om ai naah, prae kaminawk amro o; toe poekhaih paek thaih kami pop tawnh naah ngancuemhaih to oh.
15He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
15Angvin ih laiba pathok pae hanah lokkam kami loe poek angpho tih; toe to tiah lokkam ai kami loe mawnhaih tawn mak ai.
16A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
16Tahmenhaih tawn nongpata loe khingzahaih to hak; toe thahoih nongpanawk loe angraeng o.
17The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
17Tahmenhaih tawn kami loe tangqum to hak; toe hmawsaeng kami loe a taksa raihaih paek kami ah ni oh.
18Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
18Kasae kami loe alinghaih atho to hnuk; toe toenghaih tuh kami loe amkhrai thai ai tangqum to hak.
19He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
19Toenghaih loe hinghaih ah oh baktih toengah, sethaih hnukah patom kami loe a duekhaih ni patom.
20Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
20Poek angkawn kami loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe toenghaih loklam pazui kami nuiah loe anghoehaih to tawnh.
21Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
21Kasae kaminawk loe nawnto amhong o cadoeh, danpaek ai ah om mak ai; toe katoeng kaminawk ih caa loe loihsak tih.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
22Khopoek thai ai kranghoih nongpata loe, ok tahmawh nui ih sui bantuek baktiah ni oh.
23The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
23Katoeng kami loe kahoih hmuen khue ni koeh; toe kasae kami ih oephaih loe palungphuihaih hae ni.
24There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
24Cangti haeh kami loe pop aep ah hak; angaihaih pong kamthlai ah patung kami loe amtang aep.
25The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
25Kuuhoih kami loe angraeng; minawk han tuibawh kami loe, angmah doeh tuibawh ah om toeng tih.
26People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
26Cang zawh paawt kami loe, minawk mah kasae thui tih; toe cang zaw kami ih lu loe tahamhoihaih om tih.
27He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
27Kahoih hmuen pakrong kami loe hoihaih to hnuk; toe kahoih ai hmuen pakrong kami loe sethaih to hnu tih.
28He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
28Angmah angraenghaih oep kami loe amtim tih; toe katoeng kami loe thingqam baktiah sai tih.
29He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
29Angmah imthung raihaih paek kami loe takhi to qawk ah toep tih; amthu loe palungha kami ih tamna ah om tih.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
30Hinghaih thingkung loe toenghaih thingthai ah oh; palungha kami loe minawk hinghaih to pazawk.
31Behold, the righteous shall be repaid on the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
31Khenah, katoeng kaminawk mataeng doeh long nuiah hnuk han koi atho to hnu o nahaeloe, Sithaw panoek ai kami hoi zaehaih sak koeh kaminawk cae loe kawkruk maw danpaekhaih atho to hnu o tih!
