1Tus uas pheej raug qhuab ntuas
los tseem tawv ncauj cov nyom tsis mloog,
mas ib pliag ntshis xwb
yuav raug kev puas ntsoog kho tsis tau.
2Thaum cov ncaj ncees tau hwjchim
tej pejxeem xyiv fab,
tiamsis thaum cov neeg limhiam tau kav,
tej pejxeem kuj ntsaj laws.
3Tus uas nyiam tswvyim
kuj ua rau leej txiv zoo siab,
tiamsis tus uas pheej ntiav poj muag cev
kuj yog muab nws tej nyiaj txiag
nchuav pov tseg xwb.
4Tus vajntxwv uas kav ncaj
coj lub tebchaws nyob ruaj,
tus uas quab yuam sau nyiaj txiag
kuj ua rau lub tebchaws puam tsuaj.
5Tus uas ncauj qab zib nplaig qab ntse
rau kwvtij zej zog
kuj yog nws cuab hlua rov mag nws kotaw.
6Tus neeg phem
nws mag nws li kev txhaum txoj hlua,
tiamsis tus ncaj ncees hu nkauj xyiv fab hlo.
7Tus ncaj ncees paub tus pluag txojcai,
tiamsis tus limhiam tsis nkag siab tej no.
8Cov uas pheej thuam lwm tus
ua rau lub nroog kub hnyiab,
tiamsis cov uas txawj ntse
tswj kom tej kev npau taws ploj mus.
9Yog tus ntse nrog tus ruam sib cav sib ceg,
tus ruam tsuas muaj uas npau taws
thiab luag xwb, thiab tsis muaj kev tus li.
10Cov uas noj nyoog
kuj ntxub tus uas dawb huv,
thiab nrhiav ntshi txov
cov ncaj ncees txojsia.
11Tus uas ruam yeej ua nws kev chim
tshwm tag nrho los,
tiamsis tus txawj ntse
tswj tau nws txojkev npau cia twjywm.
12Yog tus thawj ntseeg tej lus dag,
mas nws cov tub teg tub taws
yuav limhiam tag huvsi.
13Tus uas pluag thiab tus uas quab yuam
qhov uas sib thooj yog qhov uas
Yawmsaub pub qhov kaj
rau ob tug qhov muag ib yam nkaus.
14Yog vajntxwv tu plaub ncaj rau cov pluag,
mas nws lub zwm txwv
yuav nyob ruaj khov ib txhis.
15Rab nplawm thiab lo lus qhuab ntuas
pub tswvyim,
tiamsis tus menyuam uas muab tso ywj siab
coj kev txaj muag rau leej niam.
16Thaum cov neeg limhiam tau hwjchim
tuav haujlwm,
muaj tej kev fav xeeb loj zuj zus,
tiamsis cov ncaj ncees yuav pom ntsoov
lawv raug kev puam tsuaj.
17Cia li nplawm qhuab qhia koj tus tub
nws thiaj ua rau koj nyob siab tus yees
thiab ua rau koj zoo siab.
18Qhovtwg tsis muaj kev qhia Vajtswv tej lus,
mas tej pejxeem kuj tseg tsis tswj lub siab,
tiamsis tus uas tuav rawv txoj kevcai
mas tau nyob kaj siab lug.
19Yog tsuas xuas ncauj hais xwb
mas cob qhia tsis tau tus tub qhe,
txawm yog nws nkag siab
los nws kuj tsis quav ntsej.
20Koj pom tus ncauj sai los tsis pom?
Tseem muaj vam tus uas ruam
heev dua li tus ntawd.
21Tus uas hlub nws tus tub qhe heev
txij thaum yau los,
mas thaum kawg yuav pom tias tus tub qhe
yuav tau nws tej qub txeeg qub teg.⚓
22Tus uas npau taws pheej tshum
kom muaj lus sib cav sib ceg,
thiab tus uas chim taus
kuj ua hauv paus fav xeeb loj.
23Kev khav theeb yuav ua rau
tus khav theeb poob qes,
tiamsis tus uas txo hwjchim
yuav tau koob meej.
24Tus uas nrog tub sab koom tes
kuj yog nws ntxub nws txojsia,
nws tau hnov tej lus twv tsawm
los nws tsis hais dabtsi li.
25Qhov uas ntshai neeg
yuav ua rooj hlua rov cuab yus,
tiamsis tus uas tso siab rau Yawmsaub
kuj nyob tso siab plhuav.
26Neeg coob nrhiav kev
ua kom tus thawj coj hlub lawv,
tiamsis Yawmsaub yog tus uas
txiav txim ncaj rau neeg.
27Tus tsis ncaj mas cov ncaj ncees
kuj ntxub kawg li,
tiamsis tus ua ncaj mas cov limhiam
kuj ntxub kawg li.

1He⚓ who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck,
Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2When the righteous are in authority, the ⚓people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, ⚓the people groan.
3Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.
4The king establishes the land by justice,
But he who receives bribes overthrows it.
5A man who ⚓flatters his neighbor
Spreads a net for his feet.
6By transgression an evil man is snared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7The righteous ⚓considers the cause of the poor,
But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
8Scoffers ⚓set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away wrath.
9If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
⚓Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.
10⚓The bloodthirsty hate the blameless,
But the upright seek his well-being.
11A fool vents all his ⚓feelings,
But a wise man holds them back.
12If a ruler pays attention to lies,
All his servants become wicked.
13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
⚓The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14The king who judges the ⚓poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
15The rod and rebuke give ⚓wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their ⚓fall.
17Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18⚓Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But ⚓happy is he who keeps the law.
19A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.
20Do you see a man hasty in his words?
⚓There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21He who pampers his servant from childhood
Will have him as a son in the end.
22⚓An angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.
23⚓A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
24Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
⚓He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
25⚓The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.
26⚓Many seek the ruler’s favor,
But justice for man comes from the Lord.
27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
