¹The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

¹Eb li cristian nequeßxcßûb ru cßaßru nequeßxbânu, abanan li Kâcuaß, aßan yal re ma teßxbânu li cßaßru nequeßxcßûb ru malaj ut incßaß.

²All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

²Eb li cristian nequeßxcßoxla nak us chixjunil li nequeßxbânu. Abanan, li Kâcuaß naxnau ma us malaj ut incßaß us li cuan saß lix cßaßuxeb.

³Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

³Canab saß rukß li Dios chixjunil li cßaßru nacacßoxla xbânunquil. Ut aßan tâtenkßânk âcue re nak us tat-êlk riqßuin li cßaßru tâbânu.

⁴The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

⁴Cuan xyâlal nak quixyîb li cßaßak re ru li Dios. Ut quixyîbeb ajcuiß li incßaß useb xnaßleb re nak teßroybeni lix tojbal lix mâqueb.

⁵Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

⁵Li Kâcuaß xicß narileb li nequeßxkßetkßeti ribeb. Relic chi yâl nak incßaß teßcanâk chi incßaß teßxtoj rix lix mâqueb.

⁶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

⁶Riqßuin xbânunquil li yâl ut li châbilal naru nacuyeß li mâc. Ut riqßuin xqßuebal xlokßal li Kâcuaß naru xcanabanquil li mâusilal.

⁷When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

⁷Nak li Kâcuaß nacuulac chiru li cßaßru nequeßxbânu li cristian, aßan ajcuiß naqßuehoc reheb chixcßambaleb rib saß usilal riqßuineb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb.

⁸Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

⁸Kßaxal us nak cuânk cßaßru âcue saß tîquilal, usta caßchßin ajcuiß, chiru nak cuânk nabal cßaßru âcue riqßuin balakßic.

⁹A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

⁹Eb li cristian nequeßxcßoxla li cßaßru nequeßxbânu. Abanan li Kâcuaß yal re ma teßxbânu malaj ut incßaß.

¹⁰A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

¹⁰Li rey moco xjunes ta naâtinac. Li Dios ban nayehoc re cßaßru naxbânu. Ut aßan narakoc âtin saß xyâlal.

¹¹A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

¹¹Li ani nabisoc chi tzßakal re ru, aßan naxbânu joß naraj li Kâcuaß. Ut li Kâcuaß naraj nak li cristian teßbisok chi tzßakal re ru.

¹²It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

¹²Incßaß us chokß reheb li rey xbânunquil li incßaß us xban nak riqßuin xbânunquil li tîquilal xakxôqueb lix cuanquileb.

¹³Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

¹³Eb li rey nequeßxra li ani nequeßxye li yâl ut nequeßsahoß saß xchßôleb riqßuineb li cuanqueb saß xyâlal.

¹⁴The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

¹⁴Li ani cuan xnaßleb incßaß tixchikß xjoskßil li rey xban nak cui teßxchikß xjoskßil, li rey naru naxtakla xcamsinquileb.

¹⁵In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

¹⁵Li rey naxbânu usilal reheb li nequeßxbânu li cßaßru naraj aßan. Chanchan li hab li naqßuehoc re li acuîmk chi kßanoc.

¹⁶How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

¹⁶Kßaxal us nak cuânk ânaßleb chiru nak cuânk nabal lâ biomal. Kßaxal us nak tâtau xyâlal chiru nak cuânk nabal lâ tumin.

¹⁷The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

¹⁷Li cßaßru nequeßxbânu li tîqueb xchßôl, aßan xcanabanquil li mâusilal. Ut nequeßxqßue retal chi us li cßaßru nequeßxbânu re nak teßxcol rix lix yußameb.

¹⁸Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁸Li ani naxkßetkßeti rib tâosokß. Ut li ani naxnimobresi rib tâcubsîk xcuanquil.

¹⁹Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

¹⁹Kßaxal us nak takacubsi kib saß xyânkeb li nebaß chiru nak takanimobresi kib saß xyânkeb li cuanqueb xbiomal.

²⁰He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

²⁰Li ani naxqßue saß xchßôl li naßleb li naqßueheß re, us tâêlk riqßuin li cßaßru naxbânu. Us xak re li ani naxcßojob xchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß.

²¹The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

²¹Li ani naxnau cßoxlac, “cuan xnaßleb” chanqueb re. Ut nequeßabin chiru xban nak naxnau âtinac chi châbil.

²²Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

²²Li ani cuan xnaßleb naxtau xyußam chi junelic. Ut xqßuebal xnaßlebeb li incßaß nequeßxtau xyâlal, aßan mâcßaß aj e.

²³The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

²³Li ani cuan xnaßleb naxcßoxla chi us li cßaßru naxye. Ut li âtin li naxye na-abîc.

²⁴Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

²⁴Li châbil âtin, aßan chanchan li xyaßal cab. Sa xtzacanquil ut naxqßue xcacuilal li katibel.

²⁵There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

²⁵Cuanqueb li cuînk nequeßxcßoxla nak us li nequeßxbânu xjuneseb. Abanan li cßaßru nequeßxbânu, aßan ajcuiß li nacßamoc chak re li câmc saß xbêneb.

²⁶He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.

²⁶Li ani natrabajic, natrabajic xban nak tzacânc naraj. Xban nak cuaßac naraj, cau nacßanjelac.

²⁷An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

²⁷Eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb junes mâusilal nequeßxcßoxla xbânunquil. Ra nanak cuiß li râtineb. Chanchan li xam.

²⁸A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

²⁸Li incßaß useb xnaßleb nequeßyoßoban plêt. Ut li ani namoloc âtin nequeßxqßueheb saß chßaßajquilal li ramîgueb rib.

²⁹A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

²⁹Li ani najoskßoß saß junpât naxbalakßiheb li ras rîtzßin, ut naxcßameb chixbânunquil li incßaß us.

³⁰He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

³⁰Eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb nequeßxmutzß li ru nak nequeßoc chixcßoxlanquil chanru nak teßxbânu li mâusilal. Ut nequeßxcßux li reheb nak nequeßxbânu li mâusilal.

³¹The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

³¹Li ani natîx chi us, kßaxal lokß chokß re. Natîx chi us xban nak cuan saß tîquilal.

³²He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

³²Kßaxal us nak cuânk âcuyum chiru nak cauhak âcuib. Ut kßaxal us nak tânau xcuybal âcuib chiru nak tâcuêchani junak tenamit.Eb li cuînk nequeßxsicß cßaßru teßxbânu riqßuin bûlic. Abanan li Dios, aßan yal re saß xbên chixjunil.

³³The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

³³Eb li cuînk nequeßxsicß cßaßru teßxbânu riqßuin bûlic. Abanan li Dios, aßan yal re saß xbên chixjunil.
