Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
1Mongkawt la hlatnah loh kosi khaw a hlam tih, patangnah ol loh thintoek khaw a soeh.
2The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools gush out folly.
2Aka cueih kah a ol loh mingnah te a hloeihhlam tih, aka ang rhoek a ka loh a anglat te a thaa.
3The LORD’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
3BOEIPA kah a mik loh hmuen ta kuem kah a thae a then te a tawt.
4A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
4Ol dongah hoeihnah aka om tah hingnah thingkung la om tih, a khuiah saveknah khaw mueihla pocinah ham ni.
5A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
5Aka ang loh a napa kah thuituennah te a tlaitlaek tih, toelthamnah aka ngaithuen tah muet uh.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
6Hlang dueng kah im ah khohrhang khaw khawk, tedae halang kah a cangthaih long tah hlang a lawn.
7The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.
7Hlang cueih rhoek long tah mingnah te a haeh dae, aka ang kah lungbuei tah te tlam moenih.
8The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
8Halang kah hmueih te BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, aka thuem kah thangthuinah te a kolonah la a khueh.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
9Halang kah longpuei tah BOEIPA kah tueilaehkoi tih, duengnah aka hloem tah a lungnah.
10There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die.
10Thuituennah caehlong aka hnoo ham tah thae tih, toelthamnah aka hmuhuet tah duek ni.
11Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD— how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
11Saelkhui neh Abaddon pataeng BOEIPA hmaiah a phoe atah, hlang ca rhoek kah lungbuei aisat te.
12A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
12Amah a toel ham te hmuiyoi loh a lungnah pawt dongah, aka cueih te khaw paan laklo pawh.
13A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
13Lungbuei, ko aka hoe tah a maelhmai hlampan tih, lungbuei kah nganboh loh mueihla a rhawp sak.
14The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
14Aka yakming kah lungbuei long tah mingnah khaw mikhmuh khaw a tlap, tedae aka ang kah a ka loh anglat a luem puei.
15All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
15Mangdaeng rhoek kah a khohnin tah boeih thae, tedae lungbuei aka then tah buhkoknah toei toei om.
16Better is little, with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure with trouble.
16Thakvoh len tih a khuiah soekloeknah a om lakah BOEIPA hinyahnah dongkah tah a yol khaw then.
17Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred.
17Buhkak ansam khaw lungnah n'caak atah, hmuhuetnah neh n'caak vaito thapaduek lakah then.
18A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
18Olpungkacan aka huek hlang he sue la om tih, thintoek aka ueh loh tuituknah khaw a duem sak.
19The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.
19Kolhnaw kah longpuei tah hling a buk banghui la om tih, aka thuem kah caehlong tah a picai pah.
20A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.
20Ca aka cueih loh a napa ko a hoe sak tih, tongpa aka ang loh a manu a hnaep.
21Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
21Lungbuei aka talh ham tah a anglat te a kohoenah tih, hlang lungcuei tah a caeh dueng.
22Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
22Baecenol pawt atah kopoek bing tih, a cungkuem taengah aka uen tah pai.
23Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
23A ka dongkah hlatnah loh hlang ham kohoenah la om tih, olka khaw amah tuetang vaengah tah then tloe pai.
24The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.
24Hlang aka cangbam ham tah saelkhui laedil lamloh hoeptlang hamla hingnah caehlong om hang.
25The LORD will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.
25Thinthah im tah BOEIPA loh a phil pah tih, nuhmai kah rhi te a suem pah.
26The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
26Kopoek thae he BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi tih, ol then te a omthennah.
27He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.
27Mueluemnah dongkah aka mueluem loh a imkhui a lawn tih, kutdoe aka thiinah tah hing ni.
28The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
28Hlang dueng kah lungbuei loh ol doo ham khaw a thuep tih, halang kah a ka loh boethae a thaa.
29The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
29BOEIPA loh halang te a lakhla tak tih, aka dueng kah thangthuinah te a hnatun pah.
30The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.
30Mik kah vangnah loh lungbuei ko a hoe sak tih, olthang then loh rhuhrhong a cang sak.
31The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.
31Hna dongah toelthamnah aka hnatun tah hingnah la om tih, hlang cueih lakli ah rhaehrhong ni.
32He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
32Thuituennah aka hlahpham loh a hinglu a hnawt tih, toelthamnah aka hnatun tah lungbuei a lai.
33The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.
33BOEIPA hinyahnah he cueihnah neh thuituennah la om tih kodonah tah thangpomnah mikhmuh ah a lamhma pah.
