Proverbs 10
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
Solomon palunghahaih lok loe hae tiah oh; palungha caa mah loe ampa to poeknawmsak, kamthu ih caa mah loe amno to palungsetsak.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
Amsoem ai ah hak ih hmuen loe atho om ai, toe toenghaih mah loe duekhaih thung hoiah pahlong.
3 Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Katoeng kami loe zok amthlam moe, duek hanah Angraeng mah asaeng ai; toe kahoih ai kami ih hmuenmae loe amrosak.
4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
Thasae ban mah anih to amtangsak, thahoih ban mah loe anih to angraengsak.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
Nipui tueah caaknaek patung kami loe palungha capa ah oh, cang aah tue ah iip kami loe azathaih paek capa ah oh.
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Katoeng kami ih lu ah loe tahamhoihaih to oh; toe kahoih ai kami ih pakha loe athii palonghaih hoiah koi.
7 The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
Katoeng kaminawk loe pahnet thai ai pongah tahamhoih o; toe kasae kami ih ahmin loe qong tih.
8 The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.
Palungha palungthin mah loe lokpaekhaih to pazui; toe lok angaek thaih kamthu loe amro tih.
9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
Toenghaih loklam ah caeh kami loe ngancuem tih; toe lam amkhraeng kami loe a poekhaih to amtueng tih.
10 One who winks with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.
Uthaih mik pakhriphaih mah kami to raihaih paek, lok angaek thaih kamthu loe amro tih.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Katoeng kami ih pakha loe hinghaih tuipuek ah oh, toe kasae kami ih pakha loe kahoih ai hmuen hoiah koi.
12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.
Hnukmahaih mah misa angcoengsak, toe amlunghaih mah loe zaehaih boih to khuk.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
Panoekhaih tawn kami ih pahni ah palunghahaih to amtueng, toe panoekhaih tawn ai kami ih kaengah loe quiboeng to oh.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
Palungha kami loe palunghaih to patungh, toe amthu kami ih pakha loe amro han zoi daek.
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Angraeng ih tacong loe kacak angmah ih vangpui ah oh; toe amtang kami amtanghaih loe angmah amrohaih ah oh.
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
Katoeng kami toksakhaih atho loe hinghaih ah oh, toe kahoih ai kami ih thingthai mah loe zaehaih to tacawtsak.
17 He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
Thuitaekhaih lok tahngai kami loe hinghaih loklam ah caeh; toe thuitaekhaih lok aek kami loe loklam amkhraeng.
18 He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
Lok amlaihaih mah hnukmahaih to amtueng ai ah ohsak, minawk kasae thui kami loe kamthu ah ni oh.
19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
Kapop ah lokthuih naah thuih pazaehaih to oh; toe palungha kami loe pahni to ciip.
20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
Palungha kami ih palai loe qoih ih sumkanglung baktiah oh; toe kahoih ai kami ih palungthin loe atho om ai.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
Katoeng kami ih pahni mah kami paroeai pacah; toe kamthu loe panoekhaih tawn ai pongah duek.
22 Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
Angraeng tahamhoihaih mah angraenghaih to ohsak, to angraenghaih ah loe palungsethaih om ai.
23 It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
Kamthu loe kahoih ai hmuen nuiah anghoe, toe palungha kami loe panoekhaih tawnh.
24 What the wicked fear will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
Kahoih ai kami nuiah zithaih to pha tih; toe katoeng kami koehhaih loe akoepsak tih.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.
Kahoih ai kaminawk loe, kamhae takhi baktiah laemh o; toe katoeng kaminawk loe dungzan kacak ahmuen ah oh.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
Kathaw tui mah haa kinsak moe, hmaikhue mah mik amcapsak baktih toengah, thasae kami doeh anih patoeh kami hanah to tiah oh.
27 The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
Angraeng zithaih mah hinglung sawksak; toe kasae kaminawk loe saning duem tih.
28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.
Anghoehaih loe katoeng kaminawk oephaih ah oh; toe kasae kaminawk oephaih loe anghmaa tih.
29 The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
Angraeng ih loklam loe katoeng kaminawk hanah thacakhaih ah oh; toe kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk han loe amrohaih ah oh.
30 The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
Katoeng kami loe natuek naah doeh angthui mak ai; toe kasae kami loe long nuiah kacakah khosah thai mak ai.
31 The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
Katoeng kami ih pakha thung hoiah palunghahaih to tacawt; toe kangkoih ah lokthui kami ih palai loe aat pae pat tih.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
Katoeng kami ih palai loe tapom thaikoi ah kaom hmuen to panoek; toe kasae kami ih pakha loe kangkoih ah lok apaeh.
