Olcueih 28
1 Halang tah a hloem pawt akhaw rhaelrham khing. Tedae aka dueng tah sathueng bangla amah pangtung uh.
Every wicked fleeth when no man pursueth; but the righteous are like the confident young lion.
2 Khohmuen kah boekoek dongah mangpa la yet dae, aka yakming hlang long tah a ming dongah a ram a pai sak.
When there is transgression in a land, it hath many for its princes; but under a man of understanding and knowledge [its] prosperity will long continue.
3 Hlang he khodaeng loh tattloel patoeng a hnaemtaek he khaw, khotlan loh bet a kawt tih buh a om pawt bangla om.
A poor man that oppresseth the indigent is like a sweeping rain which bringeth no bread.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as observe the law contend with them.
5 Hlang thae rhoek loh tiktamnah te yakming uh pawt dae, BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek loh boeih a yakming uh.
Bad men understand not justice; but they that seek the Lord understand all things.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Olkhueng aka kueinah capa long tah a yakming dae, carhut neh aka luem loh a napa kah hmai a thae sak.
Whoso keepeth the law is an intelligent son; but he that is a companion of gluttons bringeth dishonor on his father.
8 A casai a puehkan neh a boeirhaeng aka tom long khaw, tattloel aka rhen ham ni a puehkan la a coi pah coeng.
He that increaseth his wealth by interest and usury will gather it for him that will be kind to the poor.
9 Olkhueng a yaak lalah a hna tlap tlap aka khong tah, a thangthuinah khaw tueilaehkoi la om.
When one turneth away his ear so as not to listen to the law, even his prayer becometh an abomination.
10 Aka 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.
Whoso causeth the upright to go astray on an evil way, will surely fall into his own ditch; but the men of integrity will inherit what is good.
11 Hlanglen pa he a mikhmuh ah amah aka cueih koek la ngai uh dae, tattloel long khaw aka yakming long tah anih te a khe.
The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the indigent that hath understanding can search him through.
12 Aka dueng rhoek a sundaep vaengah muep boeimang tangloeng dae, halang rhoek a thoh vaengah tah hlang loh a thuh tak.
When the righteous exult, there is great splendor; but when the wicked rise up, a man hath to be sought for.
13 A boekoek aka phah he a thaihtak moenih. Tedae aka phoe tih aka hnoo tah a haidam.
He that concealeth his transgressions will not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them will obtain mercy.
14 Aka rhih yoeyah hlang tah a yoethen dae, a lungbuei aka mangkhak loh boethae khuila cungku.
Happy is the man that always dreadeth [to do evil]; but he that hardeneth his heart will fall into unhappiness.
15 Halang loh a taemrhai vaengah pilnam tattloel te sathueng bangla a nguel thil tih vom bangla cu.
As a roaring lion, and a greedy bear, so is a wicked ruler over an indigent people.
16 A lungcuei aka talh rhaengsang tah tlungalnah yet. Mueluemnah aka hmuhuet la aka hmuhuet tah a hinglung vang ni.
The prince that is void of understanding is also a great oppressor; [but] he that hateth unjust gain will prolong his days.
17 Hinglu kah thii neh hlang aka hnaemtaek hlang tah vaam khuila rhaelrham cakhaw, anih te duel mahpawh.
A man oppressed by the load of having shed human blood will flee even to the pit: let no man hold him.
18 Cuemthuek la aka pongpa tah daem tih, longpuei aka kawn sak tah vaikhat lam ni a cungku eh.
Whoso walketh in integrity will be saved; but he that walketh perversely on two paths, will fall on one.
19 Amah khohmuen aka tawn tah caak khaw kum ni. Tedae a hoenghoep bueng aka hloem tah khodaeng la hah ni.
He that tilleth his ground will have plenty of bread; but he that runneth after idle persons will have enough of poverty.
20 Uepomnah hlang kah yoethennah tah yet. Tedae boei hamla aka tanolh khaw hmil mahpawh.
A faithful man will abound with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 Maelhmai a loha khaw then pawh. Tedae buh kamat dongah ni hlang loh boe a koek.
To have respect to persons is not good; because even for a piece of bread will a man transgress.
22 Hlang moeithae loh boeirhaeng dongah ngawn tah hlawt let dae, vaitahnah loh anih a thoeng thil te ming pawh.
He that is eager for wealth is a man of an evil eye, and he knoweth not that want will come upon him.
23 Hlang aka tluung he a hnukah tah a lai aka hnal lakah, mikdaithen la om.
He that reproveth a man after [my example] will obtain more grace than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24 A manu neh a napa a rheth lalah boekoek pawt la aka thui tah, kut aka yook ham hlang kah a pueipo la om.
Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, it is no transgression, —the same is a companion of a destroyer.
25 Mungkung kah hinglu long tah olpungkacan a huek. Tedae BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung ni a hoeikhang eh.
He that hath an insatiable desire stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord will be abundantly gratified.
26 Amah kah lungbuei dongah aka pangtung tah amah te ang coeng. Tedae cueihnah dongah aka pongpa tah amah khaw hlawt uh.
He that trusteth in his own sense is a fool; but whoso walketh in wisdom, will ever escape.
27 Khodaeng taengah aka pae tah a tloelnah om pawh. Tedae a mik aka him tah tapvoepnah muep kum.
He that giveth unto the poor will not have any want; but he that hideth his eyes will have an abundance of curses.
28 Halang rhoek a thoh vaengah hlang loh a thuh tak. Tedae a milh vaengah aka dueng rhoek khaw pul.
When the wicked rise, men conceal themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
