¹Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

¹Kßaxal us li cuânc saß tîquilal usta nebaßako chiru nak incßaß takatau kanaßleb ut tâcuulak chiku ticßtißic.

²Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

²Junak cristian mâcßaß xnaßleb incßaß naxcßoxla chi us li cßaßru naxbânu. Xban nak naxbânu saß junpât aßan naqßuehoc re chi mâcobc.

³The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

³Eb li cristian nequeßxtzßek rib xjuneseb rib xban li mâusilal nequeßxbânu. Abanan eb aßan nequeßxye nak aß li Kâcuaß cuan re nak joßcan nequeßxcßul.

⁴Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

⁴Li ani cuan xbiomal cuan nabal li ramîg. Abanan li nebaß incßaß nacuan ramîg xban nak mâcßaß cuan re.

⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

⁵Li ani naxic chi yehoc ticßtiß chiru laj rakol âtin tixcßul xtojbal xmâc. Ut mâcßaß naru tixcol cuiß rib.

⁶Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

⁶Nabaleb nequeßraj nak teßuxk usilal reheb xbaneb li cuanqueb xcuanquil xban nak nasihin. Nabaleb nequeßxcßam rib saß amiguil riqßuin li ani nasihin.

⁷All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

⁷Eb li nebaß nequeßtzßektânâc xbaneb li rechßalal. ¿Ma tojaß ta chic li ramîg incßaß teßtzßektânânk reheb? Usta nequeßxtzßâma usilal chiruheb, abanan eb aßan mâcßaß nequeßraj re.

⁸He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

⁸Li ani naxtau xnaßleb naxbânu li us xban nak naxra rib. Li ani naxqßue xlokßal li naßleb li naxtzol, us na-el riqßuin li naxbânu.

⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

⁹Li ani naxic chi yehoc ticßtiß chiru laj rakol âtin tixcßul xtojbal xmâc. Li ani naticßtißic, aß li câmc naroybeni.

¹⁰Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

¹⁰Eb li mâcßaßeb xnaßleb moco xcßulubeb ta nak tâcuânk xbiomaleb. Joßcan ajcuiß eb li môs. Moco xcßulubeb ta nak teßtaklânk saß xbêneb li cuanqueb xcuanquil.

¹¹The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

¹¹Li ani naxnau cßoxlac, naxnau xcuybal rib ut incßaß najoskßoß saß junpât. Ut lix lokßal, aßan nak incßaß naxqßue saß xchßôl nak nabânûc mâusilal re.

¹²The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

¹²Nak najoskßoß li rey, chanchan nak najoskßoß li cakcoj. Abanan nak naxbânu junak usil aßan chanchan li hab li naxtßakresi li acuîmk.

¹³A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

¹³Junak li alalbej incßaß naxtau xyâlal, aßan jun rahil chßôlej chokß re lix yucuaß. Ut junak li ixakilbej junes chßilânc naxbânu, aßan chanchan li oques li na-oc saß cab rajlal.

¹⁴House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

¹⁴Riqßuineb li naßbej yucuaßbej naru nakacßul kajun cablal ut kabiomal. Abanan junak li châbil ixakilbej, caßaj cuiß li Dios naru naqßuehoc re.

¹⁵Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

¹⁵Li ani incßaß nacuulac chiru trabajic, junes cuârc naraj. Ut li ani incßaß nacßanjelac, naxcuy xtzßocajic xban nak mâcßaß xcua.

¹⁶He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

¹⁶Li ani naxbânu li naxye saß lix chakßrab li Dios, aßan naxcol rix lix yußam. Ut li ani naxtzßektâna lix chakßrab li Dios, aßan tâcâmk.

¹⁷He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

¹⁷Li ani naxbânu usilal reheb li nebaß, chanchan ajcuiß re li Kâcuaß yô chixbânunquil. Ut li Kâcuaß tâqßuehok rêkaj re.

¹⁸Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

¹⁸Nak toj naru xkßusbaleb li cocßal, us xkßusbaleb xban nak cui incßaß nacakßuseb naru nequeßxic saß xbehil li câmc.

¹⁹A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

¹⁹Li ani kßaxal cuißchic najoskßoß, tento tixcßul li raylal naxbok saß xbên. Incßaß us xcolbal rix xban nak cui tâcol rix, tâcßâyk xbânunquil.

²⁰Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²⁰Kßaxal us nak têcßûluban lê naßleb li tâqßuehekß êre ut têqßue saß êchßôl lê kßusbal. Chi joßcan cuânk ênaßleb toj saß êtîxilal.

²¹There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

²¹Eb li cristian nabal li cßaßak re ru nequeßxcßûb ru. Abanan caßaj cuiß li Dios yal re ma tâuxmânk chixjunil li nequeßxcßûb ru.

²²The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

²²Cuan xsahil xchßôleb li nequeßuxtânan u. Joßcan nak kßaxal us li nebaßil chiru li balakßic.

²³The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

²³Li ani naxxucua ru li Kâcuaß cuan xyußam. Junelic sa saß xchßôl ut incßaß nachal li chßaßajquilal saß xbên.

²⁴A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²⁴Li incßaß nacuulac chiru cßanjelac naxchßic li rukß saß li plato. Abanan chi moco li tzacaêmk naraj xqßuebal saß re.

²⁵Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

²⁵Riqßuin lix kßusbal li incßaß us xnaßleb, nequeßxtzol ribeb li cubenakeb xcuanquil, usta mâcuaß aßan li yô xkßusbal. Joßcan ajcuiß li cuan xnaßleb. Naxqßue saß xchßôl lix kßusbal.

²⁶He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

²⁶Junak li alalbej narelkßa cßaßru re lix yucuaß ut narâlina lix naß, aßan kßaxal yibru ut xutânal tâêlk.

²⁷Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

²⁷Ex cualal incßajol, canabomak rabinquil li naßleb incßaß us, li na-isin êre riqßuin li châbil naßleb.

²⁸An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

²⁸Li naxic chi yehoc ticßtiß chiru laj rakol âtin, aßan incßaß naxqßue xcuanquil li tîquilal. Ut li incßaß useb xnaßleb junes mâusilal nequeßcuulac chiru xbânunquil.Ac cauresinbil chak li rakba âtin chokß reheb li nequeßhoboc. Ut ac cauresinbil ajcuiß li tzßûm chokß reheb li incßaß nequeßraj xtaubal xnaßleb.

²⁹Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

²⁹Ac cauresinbil chak li rakba âtin chokß reheb li nequeßhoboc. Ut ac cauresinbil ajcuiß li tzßûm chokß reheb li incßaß nequeßraj xtaubal xnaßleb.
