Olcueih 12
1 Thuituennah aka lungnah loh mingnah khaw a lungnah tih, toelthamnah aka hmuhuet tah a kotalh.
He who loveth correction loveth knowledge; But he who hateth rebuke remaineth stupid.
2 Hlang then loh BOEIPA taengkah kolonah a dang tih, tangkhuepnah aka khueh hlang tah a poehlip sak.
The good man obtaineth favor from the LORD; But the man of wicked devices he condemneth.

The purposes of the righteous are just; The designs of the wicked are deceitful.
6 Halang rhoek kah olka loh thii a rhongngol tih, aka thuem kah a ka loh hlang a huul.

The wicked are overthrown, and are no more; But the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A lungmingnah olka dongah hlang loh a thangthen tih, lungbuei aka paihaeh tah nueihbu la poeh.
A man will be commended according to his wisdom; But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9 Rhaidaeng mai cakhaw a taengah sal aka khueh tah, thangpom uh tih caak aka nai lakah then.
Better is he that demeaneth himself, and hath a servant, Than he that exalteth himself, and hath no bread.
10 Aka dueng long tah a rhamsa kah a hinglu te a ming dae, halang kah haidamnah tah muenying muenyang la om.
The righteous man careth for the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 Amah khohmuen aka tawn loh buh a cung sak tih, a lungbuei aka talh long tah a hoenghoep te a hloem.
He who tilleth his own land shall be satisfied with bread; But he who followeth worthless persons is void of understanding.
12 Boethae rhoek kah tluum te halang loh a nai dae, aka dueng rhoek kah a yung tah cuen yoeyah.
The wicked man longeth after the prey of evil-doers; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 Hmuilai kah boekoek dongah boethae kah hlaeh om dae, aka dueng tah citcai lamloh loeih.
In the transgression of the lips is a dangerous snare; But the righteous man shall escape from trouble.
14 Hlang kah lai thaih loh hnothen a cung sak tih, hlang kut neh a tiing la amah taengah a mael rhoe, a mael pah.
By the fruit of a man's mouth he shall be filled with good, And the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 Aka ang kah longpuei tah a mikhmuh ah thuem dae, aka cueih kah cilsuep te ni a hnatun.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that hearkeneth to counsel is wise.
16 Aka ang loh khothaih ah a konoinah te a phoe dae, aka thaai loh yah koi te a dah.
A fool's wrath is instantly known; But he that hideth insult is wise.
17 Uepomnah aka sat loh duengnah a thui tih, a honghi kah laipai tah hlangthai palat ni.
He that speaketh truth testifieth what is right; But a false witness, deceit.
18 cunghang kah tingtoehnah bangla aka cal buengrhuet khaw om dae, aka cueih kah a lai tah hoeihnah la om.
There is who babbleth like the piercing of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But the tongue of falsehood, but for a moment.
20 Hlangthai palat loh a lungbuei khuikah boethae te a uep tih, rhoepnah ham aka uen loh kohoenah a dang.
Deceit is in the heart of those who contrive evil; But to the counsellors of peace shall be joy.

False lips are the abomination of the LORD; But they who deal truly are his delight.
23 Aka thaai hlang long tah mingnah te a tuem tih, aka ang kah lungbuei long tah a anglat te a yan.
A prudent man concealeth his knowledge; Bur the heart of fools proclaimeth their foolishness.
24 Aka haam kah kut loh a taemrhai vetih palyal te saldong la a om sak ni.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Lungbuei kah mawnnah loh hlang a bungkawn tih, ol then loh ko a hoe sak.
Anxiety in the heart of a man boweth it down; But a kind word maketh it glad.
26 Aka dueng long tah a hui te a tlap tih, halang rhoek kah longpuei tah amamih te kho a hmang puei.
The righteous showeth the way to his neighbor; But the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
27 Palyal loh a sakah pataeng a kaeh moenih, tedae hlang haam kah a boeirhaeng tah a phu tlo.
The slothful man shall not roast his game; But a precious treasure to any man is he that is diligent.
28 Duengnah caehlong ah hingnah om tih, a hawn longpuei khaw dueknah moenih.
In the path of righteousness is life, And in her pathway there is no death.
