Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
1Hlang cueih nu loh a im a sak dae, anglat long tah a kut neh a koengloeng.
2He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.
2BOEIPA aka rhih tah a dueng la cet dae, a longpuei kho aka hmang loh BOEIPA a hnaep.
3The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
3Hlang ang kah a ka ah hoemnah kuhci om tih, aka cueih rhoek kah hmuilai loh amamih te a ngaithuen sak.
4Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
4Saelhung a om pawt vaengah kongduk khaw caih dae, vaito thadueng lamkah canghum cangpai thoeng.
5A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.
5Oltak rhoek kah laipai tah a laithae moenih. Tedae a honghi kah laipai long tah laithae ni a sat.
6A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it, but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.
6Hmuiyoi loh cueihnah a tlap dae a hong ni, mingnah he aka yakming ham tah yoeikoek mai.
7Stay away from a foolish man, for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.
7Hlang ang te a hmai lamloh caeh tak, mingnah olka te na ming pawt ve.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.
8Aka thaai kah cueihnah long tah a longpuei te a yakming dae, aka ang kah a anglat tah thailatnah ni.
9Fools mock at making atonement for sins, but among the upright there is good will.
9Aka ang loh hmaithennah te a hnael dae, aka thuem long tah a laklo ah kolonah a saii.
10The heart knows its own bitterness and joy; he will not share these with a stranger.
10A hinglu khahingnah loh lungbuei a ming. Te dongah a kohoenah dongah rhalawt loh boi thil pawh.
11The house of the wicked will be overthrown, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
11Halang rhoek kah im tah a phae pah vetih aka thuem kah dap tah rhoeng ni.
12There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
12Longpuei he hlang kah mikhmuh ah thuem dae a hmailong ah dueknah longpuei la om.
13Even in laughter the heart may be sorrowful, and mirth may end in heaviness.
13Nueihbu dongah lungbuei loh thak a khoeih tih, a tloihsoi ah kohoenah khaw pha-ueknah la poeh.
14The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.
14Lungbuei aka balkhong khaw, hlang then khaw a khosing te amah hah bitni.
15A simple man believes everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways.
15Hlangyoe long tah olka boeih te a tangnah dae, aka thaai long tah a khokan te a yakming.
16A wise man fears and shuns evil, but the fool is hot headed and reckless.
16Aka cueih long tah a rhih tih boethae te a nong tak. Tedae aka ang long tah a paan tih a omtoem.
17He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, and a crafty man is hated.
17Thintoek bangkek loh a anglat a phoe tih, tangkhuepnah aka khueh hlang khaw a hmuhuet uh.
18The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
18Hlangyoe loh anglat a pang tih, aka thaai rhoek loh mingnah te a muei uh.
19The evil bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
19Hlang thae rhoek te hlang then rhoek kah mikhmuh ah, halang rhoek te hlang dueng kah vongka ah ngam uh ni.
20The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, but the rich person has many friends.
20Khodaeng te a hui long khaw a hmuhuet tih, hlanglen tah muep a lungnah.
21He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.
21A hui taengah aka hnoelrhoeng uh tah tholh tih, mangdaeng kodo aka rhen tah a yoethen.
22Don’t they go astray who plot evil? But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
22Boethae aka uep rhoek te kho a hmang uh moenih a? Tedae sitlohnah neh uepomnah long tah hnothen ni a caai thil.
23In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
23Patangnah cungkuem loh kumkonah a om sak. Tedae hmuilai dongkah ol bueng ngawn tah tloelnah la poeh.
24The crown of the wise is their riches, but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
24Khuehtawn he aka cueih rhoek kah a rhuisam la om tih, aka ang rhoek tah anglat la anglat coeng.
25A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful.
25Oltak kah laipai loh hinglu a huul tih, hlangthai palat loh laithae a sat.
26In the fear of the LORD is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children.
26BOEIPA hinyahnah dongah pangtungnah sarhi khaw om, te dongah a ca rhoek ham hlipyingnah la om.
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning people from the snares of death.
27BOEIPA hinyahnah tah hingnah thunsih neh, dueknah hlaeh lamloh aka phaelh sak la om.
28In the multitude of people is the king’s glory, but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.
28Pilnam kah cangpai dongah ni manghai kah rhuepomnah khaw a om, namtu a om pawt vaengah mangpa kah porhaknah la om.
29He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.
29Thintoek aka ueh tah bahoeng a lungcuei tih, mueihla bangkek loh anglat ni a pomsang.
30The life of the body is a heart at peace, but envy rots the bones.
30Lungbuei hoeihnah tah pumsa kah hingnah la om tih, thatlainah khaw rhuh keet la poeh.
31He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.
31Tattloel aka hnaemtaek loh amah aka saii ni a veet, BOEIPA aka thangpom long tah khodaeng a rhen.
32The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.
32Halang tah a boethae ah bung tih, aka dueng tah a dueknah rhangneh ying.
33Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools.
33Aka yakming kah lungbuei ah cueihnah khaw rhaehrhong tih, hlang ang lakli ah khaw ming uh coeng.
34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
34Duengnah loh namtom a pomsang tih, tholhnah loh namtu te rhaidaeng la a khueh.
35The king’s favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.
35Manghai kah kolonah loh sal te a cangbam tih, a thinpom loh yah a bai.
