1A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
1Kßaxal us nak tâabîk resil nak châbil xnaßleb junak chiru nak cuânk nabal lix biomal. Kßaxal us nak tâqßuehekß xlokßal chiru nak cuânk nabal lix oro ut lix plata.
2The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
2Li biom ut li nebaß juntakßêteb xban nak li Dios quiyîban reheb.
3A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
3Eb li cuanqueb xnaßleb nequeßxqßue retal li mâusilal ut nequeßxcol ribeb chiru. Abanan eb li mâcßaßeb xnaßleb nequeßxcßul li raylal nachal saß xbêneb xban nak incßaß nequeßxnau xqßuebal retal.
4By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
4Li ani naxcubsi rib ut naxxucua ru li Kâcuaß, aßan tixcßul chokß xkßajcâmunquil lix yußam, lix biomal ut lix lokßal.
5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
5Junes raylal nequeßxcßul li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Abanan li nequeßxbânu cuênt riqßuin lix yußameb incßaß nequeßxcßul chi joßcan.
6Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
6Nak toj coqßueb li cocßal, us xcßutbal chiruheb chanru li cuânc saß tîquilal ut nak ac xeßnînkan incßaß teßxcanab xbânunquil.
7The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
7Eb li biom nequeßnumta saß xbêneb li nebaß. Ut li ani natoßonin riqßuin li cuan xtumin, chanchan chic xmôs nacana cuiß.
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
8Li ani naxbânu mâusilal, mâusilal ajcuiß tixcßul. Ut tâcuulak xkßehil nak incßaß chic târûk tixcßutbesi lix joskßil.
9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
9Li ani natokßoban u tâosobtesîk xban nak tixqßueheb xtzacaêmk li mâcßaß cuan reheb.
10Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
10Isihomakeb saß êyânk li nequeßhoboc. Chi joßcan mâcßaßak chic pletic ut hoboc saß êyânk.
11He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
11Li ani nacuan saß tîquilal ut châbil naâtinac, li rey tixcßam rib saß amiguil riqßuin.
12The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
12Li Kâcuaß junelic na-iloc reheb li cuanqueb xnaßleb. Ut naxcßut nak moco yâl ta li nequeßxye li nequeßticßtißic.
13The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
13Li ani incßaß naraj trabajic naxsicß xyâlal chanru nak incßaß nacßanjelac. Naxye nak incßaß naru naxic chi trabajic xban nak cuan jun li cakcoj saß be naru nacamsîc xban.
14The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
14Li cßaßru naxye li ixk incßaß us xnaßleb, aßan chanchan jun li jul cham ut aran nequeßtßaneß li nequeßtzßektânâc xban li Kâcuaß.
15Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
15Eb li cocßal nequeßxbânu li incßaß us xban nak mâcßaßeb xnaßleb. Abanan cui teßqßuehekß chi tzßûm teßxtau xnaßleb.
16He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
16Tâcuulak xkßehil nak tânebaßokß li ani nabiomoß xban xrahobtesinquil li nebaß. Ut li ani naxqßue xtumin re li biom tâcanâk saß nebaßil.
17Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
17Cheqßuehak retal li nequeßxye li cuanqueb xnaßleb. Ut cheqßuehak retal chi us li cßaßru nincßut chêru.
18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
18Kßaxal us nak tâcanâk saß lê chßôl li cßaßru têtzol. Chi joßcan naru têye re jalan li cßaßru xetzol.
19That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
19Nacuaj xqßuebal ênaßleb anakcuan re nak tênau ut re ajcuiß nak têcacuubresi êchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß.
20Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
20Lâin xintzßîba lajêb xcaßcßâl chi naßleb re nak têtzol êrib ut têtau ênaßleb.
21That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
21Aßin yôquin chixyebal êre re nak tênau xyâlal ut re ajcuiß nak tênau xsumenquil li cßaßru tâpatzßekß êre.
22Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
22Li xbên naßleb, aßan aßin: Mêrelkßa li cßaßru reheb li nebaß yal xban nak nebaßeb. Chi moco têrahobtesiheb nak yôk chi rakecß âtin saß xbêneb yal xban nak incßaß naru teßxcol ribeb.
23For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
23Li Kâcuaß, aßan tâcolok reheb li nebaß ut tixrahobtesiheb li nequeßrahobtesin reheb li nebaß.
24Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
24Li xcab li naßleb, aßan aßin: Incßaß têcßam êrib saß amiguil riqßuineb laj plêt, chi moco têcßam êrib riqßuineb li chßinpoßeb.
25Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
25Mâre têtzol êre lix naßlebeb aßan ut incßaß chic usak lê naßleb.
26Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
26Li rox li naßleb, aßan aßin: Mêcßuluban saß êbên xtojbal xcßas jalan cristian.
27If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
27Cui lâex incßaß naru têtoj li cßas, naru nequeßxcßam lê cuarib re xtojbal li cßas.
28Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
28Li xcâ li naßleb, aßan aßin: Mêjal xnaßaj li nubâl li ac qßuebil xbaneb lê xeßtônil yucuaß.Li roß li naßleb, aßan aßin: Li ani naxnau cßanjelac chi châbil, aßan tâcßanjelak riqßuineb li rey. Moco riqßuin ta yalak ani tâtrabajik.
29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
29Li roß li naßleb, aßan aßin: Li ani naxnau cßanjelac chi châbil, aßan tâcßanjelak riqßuineb li rey. Moco riqßuin ta yalak ani tâtrabajik.
