Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A wise son listens to his father’s instruction, but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.
1Ca aka cueih loh pa kah thuituennah a hnatun tih, hmuiyoi long tah tluungnah pataeng hnatun pawh.
2By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence.
2Hlang lai thaih lamloh a then khaw a cah dae, hnukpoh kah hinglu tah kuthlahnah la poeh.
3He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
3A hinglu aka ngaithuen long tah a ka a tuem, a ka aka ang soeh khaw amah ham porhaknah la om.
4The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
4Kolhnaw loh a ngaidam dae a hinglu a thum moenih. Tedae aka haam kah a hinglu tah hah ngaikhoek.
5A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.
5Aka dueng loh a hong ol te a hmuhuet. Halang tah a borhim tih a hmai tal.
6Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
6Duengnah loh thincaknah longpuei te a kueinah tih, halangnah loh tholhnah a paimaelh.
7There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
7Boei tih ba aka khueh pawt khaw om, vawtthoek dae a boei a rhaeng aka coih khaw om.
8The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats.
8Khuehtawn he hlang kah hinglu tlansum ni. Tedae khodaeng loh tluungnah a yaak moenih.
9The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
9Aka dueng kah khosae tah a kohoe tih, halang kah hmaithoi tah a thih pah.
10Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice.
10Althanah loh olpungnah a paek tih, uentonah dongah cueihnah om.
11Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
11A honghi lamkah boeirhaeng khaw yip muei tih, amah kut neh aka coi long tah a ping sak.
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
12Ngaiuepnah loh lungbuei aka nue a dangrhoek tih, hingnah thingkung loh ngaihlihnah a cung sak.
13Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded.
13Olka aka hnoelrhoeng loh amah ham lai a koi vetih, olpaek aka rhih te anih loh a rhong ni.
14The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death.
14Aka cueih kah olkhueng tah hingnah thunsih la om tih, dueknah hlaeh lamloh aka nong sak la om.
15Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
15Lungmingnah then tah mikdaithen la a khueh tih, hnukpoh kah longpuei tah mueng.
16Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly.
16Aka thaai loh mingnah neh boeih a saii tih, aka ang loh a anglat te a yaal.
17A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
17Halang puencawn tah yoethae ah cungku tih, oltak kah laipai tah hoeihnah la om.
18Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored.
18Khodaeng neh yah loh thuituennah a hlahpham tih, toelthamnah aka tuem tah a thangpom.
19Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
19Ngaihlihnah a dip te hinglu ham khaw tui dae, aka ang long tah boethae lamloh nong ham te tueilaehkoi la a om pah.
20One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
20Hlang cueih taengah aka cet la aka cet tah cueih rhoela cueih tih, hlang ang neh aka luem tah lolh coeng.
21Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.
21Hlangtholh rhoek te yoethae loh a hloem dae, aka dueng te hnothen neh a thuung.
22A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.
22Hlang then long tah a ca kah a ca khaw a phaeng dae, laihmu kah a thadueng tah hlang dueng hamla a khoem pah.
23An abundance of food is in poor people’s fields, but injustice sweeps it away.
23Khodaeng kah khohai cang tah thawt tangloeng dae, tiktamnah a om pawt dongah a khoengvoep.
24One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
24A ca aka thiinah loh a cungcik a hnaih, tedae aka lungnah tah thuituennah neh a toem.
25The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
25Hlang dueng loh a hinglu dongah kodam la a caak dae, halang tah a bung a vaitah.
