¹Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

¹Kßaxal us li tzacânc saß nebaßil chi sa saß kachßôl chiru nak yôko chi ninkßeîc rajlal ut yôko chi pletic.

²A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

³The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

³Li oro ut li plata isinbil lix tzßajnil riqßuin xam. Abanan li Kâcuaß narisi li mâusilal saß xchßôleb li cristian.

⁴A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

⁴Eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb nequeßxpâb chixjunil li incßaß us nequeßrabi. Ut eb laj ticßtiß nequeßxpâb li moco yâl ta li nayeheß reheb.

⁵Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

⁵Li ani nequeßhoboc reheb li nebaß, aß li Dios li quiyîban reheb nequeßxhob. Ut li ani nasahoß saß xchßôl chirilbal li raylal nequeßxcßul, aßan incßaß tâcanâk chi incßaß teßxtoj xmâc.

⁶Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

⁶Lix lokßaleb li ac tîxeb, aßaneb li ri. Ut lix lokßaleb li alalbej cßajolbej, aßaneb lix naß xyucuaßeb.

⁷Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

⁷Incßaß us chokß reheb li mâcßaß xnaßleb nak teßxnimobresi ribeb chi âtinac. Joßcan ajcuiß li cuînk li cuan xcuanquil, incßaß us cui naticßtißic.

⁸A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

⁸Li tuminânc u kßaxal terto xtzßak chiruheb li cßaynakeb chi tuminac u xban nak riqßuin aßan us nequeßel riqßuin chixjunil li nequeßxbânu.

⁹He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

⁹Li ani incßaß naâtinac chirix lix paltil li ramîg nacßutun nak naxra li ramîg. Ut li ani naâtinac chirix lix paltil naxqßue chßaßajquilal saß xyânkeb li ramîg.

¹⁰A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

¹⁰Li ani cuan xnaßleb naxqßue retal lix kßusbal. Aßut li mâcßaß xnaßleb usta tâqßue jun cientak lix lôb incßaß naxtau xyâlal.

¹¹An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

¹¹Li incßaß useb xnaßleb junes sicßoc plêt nequeßxbânu. Kßaxal ra li tojba mâc tâchâlk saß xbêneb.

¹²Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

¹²Kßaxal us nak tâcßul jun li oso yô xjoskßil li qui-elkßâc li ral, chiru nak tâchßic âcuib riqßuin jun li incßaß naxnau xyâlal xban nak kßaxal ra cuißchic tâcßul.

¹³Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

¹³Junelic cuânk li mâusilal saß lix jun cablal li ani naxbânu mâusilal re li nabânun usilal re.

¹⁴The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

¹⁴Li xtiquibanquil jun li plêt chanchan xtebal jun rok li haß xban nak junpât naniman ru. Joßcan nak kßaxal us chokß êre nak incßaß têchßic êrib saß li plêt.

¹⁵He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

¹⁵Incßaß us xyebal nak mâcßaßeb xmâc li nequeßxbânu li incßaß us. Ut incßaß ajcuiß us nak teßxye nak cuanqueb xmâc li mâcßaßeb xmâc. Li cuib chi naßleb aßin xicß naril li Kâcuaß.

¹⁶Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

¹⁶¿Cßaßru aj e nak cuânk xtumin li mâcßaß xnaßleb? Mâcßaß aj e xban nak moco naru ta tixlokß xnaßleb riqßuin lix tumin.

¹⁷A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

¹⁷Li châbil amigo junelic narahoc, ut tixcßojob âchßôl nak yôkat chi cßuluc raylal joß junak tzßakal asbej.

¹⁸A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

¹⁹Li ani nacuulac chiru pletic naxra li mâc. Li ani naxnimobresi rib yô chixbokbal raylal saß xbên.

²⁰He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

²⁰Li incßaß useb xnaßleb mâ jokße teßxtau li us. Ut li ani nacuulac chiru balakßic riqßuin li cßaßru naxye naxbok chßaßajquilal saß xbên.

²¹He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

²¹Junak cuînk cuan ralal mâcßaß xnaßleb junelic ra saß xchßôl. Mâcßaß sahil chßôlej chokß re junak li yucuaßbej cuan junak ralal incßaß naxtau xyâlal.

²²A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

²²Junak cristian sa saß xchßôl, aßan naxqßue sahil chßôlej joß li châbil ban. Abanan junak cristian ra saß xchßôl, aßan naxqßue xrahil xchßôl li ras rîtzßin joß junak yajel.

²³A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

²³Eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb nequeßtuminâc ru chi mukmu re xsachbal xcuanquil li tîquilal.

²⁴Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

²⁴Li cuan xnaßleb junelic yô chixcßoxlanquil chanru nak tixtau xtzßakob lix naßleb. Abanan li incßaß naxtau xnaßleb moco chßolchßo ta ru li cßaßru naxbânu.

²⁵A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

²⁵Li alalbej li incßaß naxtau xnaßleb, aßan naxqßue xjoskßileb ut xrahil xchßôleb lix naß xyucuaß.

²⁶Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

²⁶Relic chi yâl nak incßaß us nak teßxye nak cuan xmâc li mâcßaß xmâc. Ut incßaß ajcuiß us nak teßxqßue saß raylal li nequeßtaklan saß xyâlal.

²⁷He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

²⁷Eb li cuan xnaßlebeb incßaß nequeßcuulac chiruheb âtinac. Ut li ani naxnau cßoxlac incßaß najoskßoß saß junpât.Nequeßxye nak li incßaß naxtau xyâlal cuan xnaßleb cui incßaß naâtinac. Nequeßxye nak naxnau cßoxlac cui mâcßaß naxye.

²⁸Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

²⁸Nequeßxye nak li incßaß naxtau xyâlal cuan xnaßleb cui incßaß naâtinac. Nequeßxye nak naxnau cßoxlac cui mâcßaß naxye.
