1Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
1Thuitaekhaih koeh kami loe palungha kami ah oh; toe zoehhaih hnuma kami loe amthu kami ni.
2A good man shall obtain favor from the LORD, but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.
2Kahoih kami mah loe Angraeng palung anghoesak; toe kahoih ai hmuen poek kami loe lokcaekhaih to hnu tih.
3A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
3Kahoih ai hmuen mah kami tangzun caksak ai; toe katoeng kami ih tangzun loe aphong thai mak ai.
4A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
4Tuinuen kahoih zu loe a sava han sui lumuek ah oh; toe ahmin saesak zu loe sava ih ahuh to hmawnsak.
5The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
5Katoeng kami poekhaih loe toeng; toe kasae kaminawk ih lok loe alinghaih ah oh.
6The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
6Kasae kami ih lok loe minawk athii palonghaih to zing; toe katoeng kami ih lok loe minawk to pahlong.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.
7Kasae kami ih im loe amtim ueloe, anghmaa tih; toe katoeng kami ih im loe kacakah angdoe poe tih.
8A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
8Palungha kami loe minawk mah pakoehhaih to hnuk; toe poek angkawn kami loe minawk mah hnap.
9Better is he who is little known, and has a servant, than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
9Angmah hoi angmah angraeng ah amkoeh, caaknaek tawn ai kami pongah loe, kami mah patoek e, caaknaek tawn toksah kami to hoih kue.
10A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
10Katoeng kaminawk loe a pacah ih moinawk nuiah tahmenhaih to tawnh; toe hmawsaenghaih loe kasae kaminawk ih tahmenhaih sang koek ah oh.
11He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.
11Angmah ih lawk phrawk kami loe zok amhah tih; toe palungha ai kami loe tidoeh avang ai kami hnukah bang.
12The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
12Katoeng ai kami loe kasae kami ih palok to patoh han koeh; toe katoeng kami ih tangzun loe aquih tacawt.
13An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.
13Kasae kami loe a pahni zaehaih mah dongh pongah amansak; toe kami katoeng loe raihaih thung hoiah loih.
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.
14Kami loe angmah pahni athaih hoiah zok amhah tih; a ban hoi sak ih kasae kahoih hmuen baktih toengah atho doeh hnu tih.
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.
15Kamthu loe a caehhaih loklam to kamsoem ah a hnuk; toe palungha kami loe minawk mah thuih ih lok to tahngaih.
16A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
16Kamthu loe palungphuihaih to amtuengsak roep; toe palungha kami loe azat koi hmuen to angphat.
17He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
17Loktang thui kami loe toenghaih to amtuengsak; amsawnlok pongah hnukung ah angdoe kami loe alinghaih to amtuengsak.
18There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
18Sumsen hoi thunh ih baktiah lok apae kami to oh; toe palungha kami ih palai mah loe kami ngantuisak.
19Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
19Loktang pahni loe dungzan khoek to cak; toe amsawnlok loe nawnetta ni oh.
20Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
20Kahoih ai hmuen poek kaminawk ih palung thungah alinghaih to oh; toe angdaehhaih sah kaminawk loe anghoehaih tawnh o.
21No mischief shall happen to the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
21Katoeng kaminawk khaeah sethaih pha mak ai; toe kasae kami loe tahamsethaih hoiah koi tih.
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who do the truth are his delight.
22Lok amlai palai loe Angraeng mah panuet; toe toenghaih hoi khosah kaminawk loe Angraeng mah palung.
23A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
23Palungha kami loe panoekhaih to angphat; toe amthu ih palungthin mah loe amthuhaih to amtuengsak.
24The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
24Thahoih ban mah kami to uk tih; toe thasae kami loe misong ah om tih.
25Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.
25Palungsethaih mah kami palungboengsak; thapaekhaih lok mah poek nawmsak.
26A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
26Katoeng kami loe a imtaeng kami to loklam patuek; toe kahoih ai kami ih loklam mah nihcae to loklam anghmangsak.
27The slothful man doesn’t roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized.
27Thasae kami loe a kah ih moi paaem han mataeng doeh paqak; thahoih kami ih tacong loe atho oh.
28In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death.
28Toenghaih loklam ah duekhaih om ai, hinghaih ni oh.
