1Tus uas tsis yuav luag tej lus ntuas, nws lub neej yuav puastsuaj thiab tsis muaj hnub zoo ntxiv li lawm.
2Thaum cov neeg ncaj ncees los ua nom kav, tej pejxeem zoo siab kawg, tiamsis thaum cov neeg siab phem los ua nom kav, tej pejxeem tau kev quaj ntsuag.
3Tus tub uas muaj tswvyim, leej txiv yuav txaus siab heev rau nws, tiamsis tus uas muab tej nyiaj mus siv rau tej niamntiav, ces yog muab nyiaj povtseg ntag.
4Thaum vajntxwv tswjhwm ncaj ncees, lub tebchaws yuav nyob ruaj khov, tiamsis thaum nws muab nyiaj txiag saib hlob, nws yuav ua rau lub tebchaws puastsuaj.
5Yog koj ua txuj qhuas tej phoojywg, ces yog koj rov cuab vojhlua tos koj kev.
6Cov neeg ua phem txojkev txhaum yuav rov los raug lawv, tiamsis cov neeg ncaj ncees yuav hu nkauj thiab muaj kev kaj siab lug.
7Tus neeg ncaj ncees yeej ua ncaj rau cov neeg pluag, tiamsis cov neeg siab phem tsis quavntsej txog li.
8Cov neeg uas thuam lwm tus yog cov uas ua rau lub nroog muaj kev kub ntxhov, tiamsis cov neeg ntse ua rau lub nroog nyob sib haumxeeb.
9Thaum tus neeg ntse ua plaub nrog tus neeg ruam, tus neeg ruam tsuas yog luag, qw thiab cem phem xwb.
10Cov neeg uas nyiam ua kom luag nqaij ntuag ntshav nrog ntxub tus neeg ua ncaj, tiamsis cov neeg ncaj ncees yuav tiv thaiv tus ntawd txojsia.
11Cov neeg ruam chim thiab npautaws sai, tiamsis cov neeg thoob tsib to nrog ua taus siab ntev thiab muab txojkev chim npog tseg.
12Yog tus thawjcoj nyiam mloog tej lus fi xov tsis tseeb, nws cov nomtswv yuav ua neeg dag.
13Qhov uas tus neeg pluag thiab tus neeg uas tsimtxom tus neeg pluag zoo ib yam yog li no: Tus TSWV pub rau nkawd muaj qhovmuag ib yam nkaus.
14Yog vajntxwv txiav txim ncaj ncees rau cov neeg pluag, nws yuav tau tswjhwm mus ntev.
15Kev qhuab ntuas thiab nplawm menyuam yuav ua rau tus menyuam tsimtxiaj; yog cia menyuam ua ywj siab, nws yuav ua rau leej niam raug kev txajmuag.
16Thaum cov neeg siab phem tau los ua tus tswjhwm, kev kub ntxhov yuav loj tuaj, tiamsis cov neeg ncaj ncees yuav pom cov neeg ua phem raug kev puastsuaj.
17Qhuab ntuas koj tej menyuam, lawv thiaj yuav ua rau koj zoo siab; lawv thiaj tsis ua rau koj raug txajmuag.
18Lub tebchaws uas tsis cia Vajtswv ua tus coj, lub tebchaws ntawd tsis muaj kev tswjhwm zoo. Tus neeg uas muaj kev kaj siab yog tus uas coj raws li Vajtswv txoj kevcai.
19Tus tubtxib uas koj ntuas ntawm ncauj xwb, nws yuav tsis mloog; nws yeej paub, tiamsis nws tsis ua li koj hais.
20Cia siab rau tus neeg ruam zoo dua li cia siab rau tus neeg uas hais lus tsis xav tom ntej tom qab.
21Yog koj muab txhua yam rau koj tus tubtxib raws li nws xav tau thaum tseem hluas los, muaj ib hnub nws yuav txeeb tagnrho tej uas koj muaj huv tibsi.
22Cov neeg uas npautaws sai ua kom muaj kev sib cav sib ceg thiab kev kub ntxhov.
23Kev khavtheeb yuav ua rau koj poob ntsejmuag, tiamsis yog koj txo hwjchim luag yuav hwm koj.
24Tus neeg tubsab tus kwvluag yog nws tus yeebncuab uas phem tshaj plaws; yog nws qhia qhov tseeb nyob hauv tsev tu plaub, nws yuav raug tsimtxom; yog nws tsis qhia qhov tseeb Vajtswv yuav foom phem rau nws.
25Kev ntshai luag ces yog lub vojhlua cuab tos koj kev, tiamsis yog koj cia siab rau tus TSWV mas koj yuav kaj siab lug.
26Txhua leej txhua tus xav kom tus thawjcoj txaus siab rau nws, tiamsis tsuas yog tus TSWV thiaj muab tau kev ncaj ncees.
27Cov neeg ncaj ncees ntxub cov neeg tsis ncaj ncees, thiab cov neeg ua phem ntxub cov neeg ua zoo.

1Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes
will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
2When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
when the wicked rule, the people groan.
3A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,
but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
4By justice a king gives a country stability,
but those who are greedy for⚓ bribes tear it down.
5Those who flatter their neighbors
are spreading nets for their feet.
6Evildoers are snared by their own sin,
but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.
7The righteous care about justice for the poor,
but the wicked have no such concern.
8Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.
9If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
10The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity
and seek to kill the upright.
11Fools give full vent to their rage,
but the wise bring calm in the end.
12If a ruler listens to lies,
all his officials become wicked.
13The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.
14If a king judges the poor with fairness,
his throne will be established forever.
15A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.
16When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.
17Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.
18Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
19Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.
20Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.
21A servant pampered from youth
will turn out to be insolent.
22An angry person stirs up conflict,
and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.
23Pride brings a person low,
but the lowly in spirit gain honor.
24The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies;
they are put under oath and dare not testify.
25Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
26Many seek an audience with a ruler,
but it is from the Lord that one gets justice.
27The righteous detest the dishonest;
the wicked detest the upright.
