Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
1A hmuilai voeldak neh aka ang lakah amah kah thincaknah neh aka cet khodaeng he then ngai.
2It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty with one’s feet and miss the way.
2Mingnah aka om pawh hinglu khaw then pawh, kho neh aka tanolh long khaw a hmaang.
3The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.
3Hlang kah a anglat loh amah kah longpuei te a paimaelh pah hatah a lungbuei tah BOEIPA taengah a hmaital.
4Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
4Boeirhaeng tah paya khaw muep a thap pah dae, tattloel tah a baerhoep long pataeng te a nong tak.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
5A honghi kah laipai te hmil pawt vetih, laithae aka sat long khaw poenghal mahpawh.
6Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
6Hlangcong kah maelhmai tah muep a thae sak uh tih, hlang te hlang boeih loh kutdoe neh a paya nah uh.
7All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
7Manuca pataeng aka khodaeng te boeih a hmuhuet uh atah, a baerhoep aisat te a taeng lamloh a lakhla tak ta. A hloem bal akhaw amih te ol a om moenih.
8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
8A hinglu aka lungnah long tah a lungbuei ah a lai tih, lungcuei long tah hnothen dang hamla a ngaithuen.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
9A honghi kah laipai te hmil pawt vetih, laithae aka sat khaw milh ni.
10Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Omthenbawnnah he hlang ang ham a rhoeprhui moenih, sal loh mangpa a taemrhai te bahoeng voel moenih.
11The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
11Hlang kah a lungming loh a thintoek khaw a hlawt pah dongah, boekoek te a boei a mang neh a poe.
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
12Manghai kah thinkoeh he sathueng bangla kawk dae, a kolonah he baelhing dongkah buemtui bangla om.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
13Capa a anglat te a napa ham talnah la om tih, a yuu kah hohmuhnah khaw tuicip bangla puh.
14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
14Im neh boeirhaeng he napa kah rho la om cakhaw, hlang aka cangbam yuu he tah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.
15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15Ngaknah he ih dongah moo tih, palyal khaw hinglu lamlum.
16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
16Olpaek aka tuem loh a hinglu a ngaithuen tih, BOEIPA kah longpuei aka hnoel tah duek rhoe duek ni.
17He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.
17BOEIPA kah puhlah long tah tattloel te a rhen tih, a thaphu te amah taengla a thuung ni.
18Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
18Ngaiuepnah a om vaengah na ca te toel lah, anih duek sak ham tah na hinglu te thak boeh.
19A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
19Kosi len kah hmulung te tholhphu la a phueih atah na huul cakhaw koep na koei hae ni.
20Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
20cilsuep he hnatun lamtah thuituennah he doe lah. Te daengah ni na hmailong ah na cueih eh.
21There are many plans in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.
21Hlang kah lungbuei ah kopoek muep om cakhaw, BOEIPA kah cilsuep long ni a thoh sak.
22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
22Hlang kah ngaihlihnah tah amah kah sitlohnah he ni. Tedae khodaeng he hlang laithae lakah then ngai.
23The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
23BOEIPA hinyahnah he tah hingnah la om tih, ngaikhuek la a rhaeh sak coeng dongah yoethae loh cawh voel pawh.
24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24Kolhnaw long tah bael dongla a kut a puei nawn pataeng a ka khuila a khuen moenih.
25Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
25Hmuiyoi te na boh daengah ni hlangyoe bangla a muet uh eh. A yakming la na tluung daengah ni mingnah te a phatuem pueng eh.
26He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
26A napa aka rhoelrhak tih, a manu aka yong sak capa tah yah a poh tih, a khosak khaw tal.
27If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
27Ka ca, mingnah olka lamloh palang ham a, thuituennah hnatun ham he na toeng.
28A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
28Hlang muen kah laipai loh tiktamnah te a hnael tih, halang kah a ka loh boethae a dolh.
29Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
29Hmuiyoi rhoek ham tholhphu neh anglat kah a nam ham bohnah a tawn uh coeng.
