Thuituen 5
1 Pathen im la na caeh vaengkah bangla na kho neh na khokan te ngaithuen. Te dongah hnatun hamla n'tawn uh he aka ang kah hmueih nawn lakah then. Amih loh boethae a saii te khaw ming uh pawh.
Take heede to thy foote when thou entrest into the House of God, and be more neere to heare then to giue the sacrifice of fooles: for they knowe not that they doe euil.
2 Pathen mikhmuh ah ol aka thak la na ka te let sak boel lamtah na lungbuei loe boel saeh. Pathen tah vaan ah om tih nang tah diklai ah ni na om. Te dongah na ol yol saeh.
Be not rash with thy mouth, nor let thine heart be hastie to vtter a thing before God: for God is in the heauens, and thou art on the earth: therefore let thy wordes be fewe.
3 Bibi a cungkuem vaengah mueimang khaw om tih olka a cungkuem vaengah hlang ang ol la poeh.
For as a dreame commeth by the multitude of businesse: so the voyce of a foole is in the multitude of wordes.
4 Pathen taengah olcaeng na caeng vaengah na thuung ham uelh boeh. Na caeng bangla a thuung te aka ang kah kongaih moenih.
When thou hast vowed a vowe to God, deferre not to pay it: for he deliteth not in fooles: pay therefore that thou hast vowed.
5 Na caeng tih na thuung pawt lakah na caeng pawt te then.
It is better that thou shouldest not vowe, then that thou shouldest vow and not pay it.
6 Na pumsa te tholh sak hamla na ka te khueh boeh. Tohtamaeh kah te puencawn mikhmuh ah thui boeh. Na ol dongah balae tih Pathen thin a toek? Te dongah na kut dongkah bibi te a phae.
Suffer not thy mouth to make thy flesh to sinne: neither say before the Angel, that this is ignorance: wherefore shall God bee angry by thy voyce, and destroy the worke of thine hands?
7 Mueimang a yet vaengah a honghi neh ol khaw yet. Te dongah Pathen te rhih laeh.
For in the multitude of dreames, and vanities are also many wordes: but feare thou God.
8 Paeng ah khodaeng hnaemtaeknah khaw, tiktamnah neh duengnah lamloh pitnah na hmuh. Te te ngaihnah dongah khaw na ngaihmang sak boeh. A sang soah a sang la a dawn tih amih lakah sang lah ko.
If in a countrey thou seest the oppression of the poore, and the defrauding of iudgement and iustice, be not astonied at the matter: for hee that is higher then the highest, regardeth, and there be higher then they.
9 Amah khohmuen aka tawn manghai loh a cungkuem dongah khohmuen kah rhoeikhangnah te amah la a dang.
And the abundance of the earth is ouer all: the King also consisteth by the fielde that is tilled.
10 Tangka aka lungnah khaw tangka hah pawt tih boeinah aka lungnah te khaw a vueithaih a dang moenih. He khaw a honghi mai ni.
He that loueth siluer, shall not be satisfied with siluer, and he that loueth riches, shalbe without the fruite thereof: this also is vanitie.
11 Hnothen a ping ham vaengah te te aka ca rhoek khaw pungtai uh. Te dongah a kungmah te tah a mik loh danyoe sawthong phoeiah tah balae a thoemthainah voel.
When goods increase, they are increased that eate them: and what good commeth to the owners thereof, but the beholding thereof with their eyes?
12 Aka thotat tah a yol akhaw, a yet a caak akhaw a ih tui. Tedae hlanglen kah khobuh long tah amah te ih sak ham pataeng duem sak pawh.
The sleepe of him that traueileth, is sweete, whether he eate litle or much: but the sacietie of the riche will not suffer him to sleepe.
13 Boethae a om he khomik hmuiah a tloh la ka hmuh. Khuehtawn he a kungmah loh a ngaithuen akhaw amah yoethaenah ham ni.
There is an euill sickenes that I haue seene vnder the sunne: to wit, riches reserued to the owners thereof for their euill.
14 Khuehtawn he bibi thae ah a paltham mai. Te dongah capa a sak akhaw a kut dongah pakhat pataeng a om moenih.
And these riches perish by euill trauel, and he begetteth a sonne, and in his hand is nothing.
15 A manu bung lamloh pumtling ha thoeng tih a caeh vaengah khaw a thoeng vaengkah banglam ni a mael. A thakthaenah lamkah te pakhat pataeng a kut dongah a khuen hamla a phueih moenih.
As hee came foorth of his mothers belly, he shall returne naked to goe as he came, and shall beare away nothing of his labour, which hee hath caused to passe by his hand.
16 Ha thoeng vaengkah bangla voeivang a caeh he khaw boeih thae tih tlo bal. Te dongah khohli hamla a thakthae he anih ham balae a rhoeikhangnah.
And this also is an euill sickenes that in all pointes as he came, so shall he goe, and what profit hath he that he hath traueiled for the winde?
17 Amah tue khuiah khaw hmaisuep ah a caak tih a tlohtat neh a thinhul ah muep hue a sak.
Also all his dayes hee eateth in darkenes with much griefe, and in his sorowe and anger.
18 Sakthen la caak ham neh ok ham khaw, hnothen a hmuh ham khaw a then la ka hmuh coeng ne. Khomik hmui kah a hingnah khohnin tarhing la a thakthaenah cungkuem neh thakthae. A hingnah te Pathen loh anih taengah amah kah hamsum la a paek.
Beholde then, what I haue seene good, that it is comely to eate, and to drinke, and to take pleasure in all his labour, wherein he traueileth vnder the sunne, the whole nomber of the dayes of his life, which God giueth him: for this is his portion.
19 Pathen loh hlang boeih te a taengkah khuehtawn neh koeva a paek pai. Te dongah te lamloh a caak ham neh a hamsum a duen ham khaw, a thakthaenah khui lamloh kohoe sak ham khaw a taemrhai. He tah Pathen kah kutdoe rhoe ni.
Also to euery man to whom God hath giuen riches and treasures, and giueth him power to eate thereof, and to take his part, and to enioy his labour: this is the gift of God.
20 Pathen loh kohoenah neh a lungbuei a phaep pah dongah a hingnah khohnin te puet poek pawh.
Surely hee will not much remember the dayes of his life, because God answereth to the ioy of his heart.
