Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
1Halang tah a hloem pawt akhaw rhaelrham khing. Tedae aka dueng tah sathueng bangla amah pangtung uh.
2In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
2Khohmuen kah boekoek dongah mangpa la yet dae, aka yakming hlang long tah a ming dongah a ram a pai sak.
3A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
3Hlang he khodaeng loh tattloel patoeng a hnaemtaek he khaw, khotlan loh bet a kawt tih buh a om pawt bangla om.
4Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
4Olkhueng aka hnoo rhoek loh halang te a thangthen uh. Tedae olkhueng aka tuem long tah amih te a huek.
5Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
5Hlang thae rhoek loh tiktamnah te yakming uh pawt dae, BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek loh boeih a yakming uh.
6Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
6A thincaknah neh aka pongpa khodaeng he, longpuei kawnvoi dongkah hlanglen lakah then.
7Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
7Olkhueng aka kueinah capa long tah a yakming dae, carhut neh aka luem loh a napa kah hmai a thae sak.
8He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
8A casai a puehkan neh a boeirhaeng aka tom long khaw, tattloel aka rhen ham ni a puehkan la a coi pah coeng.
9He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
9Olkhueng a yaak lalah a hna tlap tlap aka khong tah, a thangthuinah khaw tueilaehkoi la om.
10Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
10Aka thuem te longpuei thae la aka palang sak tah cakhom ah amah lah cungku ni. Tedae cuemthuek rhoek long tah hnothen a pang uh ni.
11The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
11Hlanglen pa he a mikhmuh ah amah aka cueih koek la ngai uh dae, tattloel long khaw aka yakming long tah anih te a khe.
12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
12Aka dueng rhoek a sundaep vaengah muep boeimang tangloeng dae, halang rhoek a thoh vaengah tah hlang loh a thuh tak.
13He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
13A boekoek aka phah he a thaihtak moenih. Tedae aka phoe tih aka hnoo tah a haidam.
14Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
14Aka rhih yoeyah hlang tah a yoethen dae, a lungbuei aka mangkhak loh boethae khuila cungku.
15As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
15Halang loh a taemrhai vaengah pilnam tattloel te sathueng bangla a nguel thil tih vom bangla cu.
16A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
16A lungcuei aka talh rhaengsang tah tlungalnah yet. Mueluemnah aka hmuhuet la aka hmuhuet tah a hinglung vang ni.
17A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death. No one will support him.
17Hinglu kah thii neh hlang aka hnaemtaek hlang tah vaam khuila rhaelrham cakhaw, anih te duel mahpawh.
18Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
18Cuemthuek la aka pongpa tah daem tih, longpuei aka kawn sak tah vaikhat lam ni a cungku eh.
19One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
19Amah khohmuen aka tawn tah caak khaw kum ni. Tedae a hoenghoep bueng aka hloem tah khodaeng la hah ni.
20A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
20Uepomnah hlang kah yoethennah tah yet. Tedae boei hamla aka tanolh khaw hmil mahpawh.
21To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
21Maelhmai a loha khaw then pawh. Tedae buh kamat dongah ni hlang loh boe a koek.
22A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
22Hlang moeithae loh boeirhaeng dongah ngawn tah hlawt let dae, vaitahnah loh anih a thoeng thil te ming pawh.
23One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
23Hlang aka tluung he a hnukah tah a lai aka hnal lakah, mikdaithen la om.
24Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
24A manu neh a napa a rheth lalah boekoek pawt la aka thui tah, kut aka yook ham hlang kah a pueipo la om.
25One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
25Mungkung kah hinglu long tah olpungkacan a huek. Tedae BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung ni a hoeikhang eh.
26One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
26Amah kah lungbuei dongah aka pangtung tah amah te ang coeng. Tedae cueihnah dongah aka pongpa tah amah khaw hlawt uh.
27One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
27Khodaeng taengah aka pae tah a tloelnah om pawh. Tedae a mik aka him tah tapvoepnah muep kum.
28When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
28Halang rhoek a thoh vaengah hlang loh a thuh tak. Tedae a milh vaengah aka dueng rhoek khaw pul.
