Thuhilpa 1
1 Hiche hi Thuhilpa, Jerusalem’a vaipoa pang, Leng David chapa thuseidoh ho ahi.
The wordis of Ecclesiastes, sone of Dauid, the kyng of Jerusalem.
2 Thuhilpa chun, “Ijakai ajehbei tobang ngen ahi, ajeh bei tobang ngensen ahi sohkeije,” ati.
The vanyte of vanytees, seide Ecclesiastes; the vanyte of vanytees, and alle thingis ben vanite.
3 Nipi noija hi mihon atoh gim jeh’uva hi ipi aki mudoh uvem?
What hath a man more of alle his trauel, bi which he traueilith vndur the sunne?
4 Khang achemang in, khang ahung lhung kit in, hinlah leiset hin kikhelna aneikha hih laiye.
Generacioun passith awei, and generacioun cometh; but the erthe stondith with outen ende.
5 Nisa ahung sohdoh in chule alhum kit jin, chule kinotah’a kipandoh kit ding in akigopai jin ahi.
The sunne risith, and goith doun, and turneth ayen to his place;
6 Hui chu lhang lama anung in, chule sah lama ahung kihei jin ahi. Avel kol avelkol in, ahui nun chun akollin ahi.
and there it risith ayen, and cumpassith bi the south, and turneth ayen to the north. The spirit cumpassynge alle thingis goith `in cumpas, and turneth ayen in to hise cerclis.
7 Vadung ho tuikhanglenna alonglut’uvin, hinlah twikhanglen adim thei deh poi. Chuti chun twi ho chu vadunga ahung kile kit jiuvin chule ahung longdoh un twikhanglenna chun alut kit jiuve.
Alle floodis entren in to the see, and the see fletith not ouer the markis set of God; the floodis turnen ayen to the place fro whennus tho comen forth, that tho flowe eft.
8 Thil ijakai hi seithei lou hellin thachol chol a um'in ahi. Ijat imit uva imu vang un ilungnau achim poi. Ijat ina khang uva ijah jeng vang un ilunglhai jou pouve.
Alle thingis ben hard; a man may not declare tho thingis bi word; the iye is not fillid bi siyt, nether the eere is fillid bi hering.
9 Achesa thusim kivelso kitna ahibouve. Masang peh’a ana kibol chaisa ngensen ahiuve. Nisa noija imacha thil athah tahbeh aum poi.
What is that thing that was, that that schal come? What is that thing that is maad, that that schal be maad?
10 Khatvei veileh mihon aseijun, “Imacha athah kiti aum poi,” atiuve. Hinlah tahbeh mong in alui ahi bouvin, imacha athah kiti hi aum poi.
No thing vndir the sunne is newe, nether ony man may seie, Lo! this thing is newe; for now it yede bifore in worldis, that weren bifore vs.
11 Achesa phatna ipi anasoh em ti igeldoh pouve, chule khang ahung lhung ding hoa jong tua i-thilbol houhi koiman ahetdoh lou ding ahitai.
Mynde of the formere thingis is not, but sotheli nether thenkyng of tho thingis, that schulen come afterward, schal be at hem that schulen come in the last tyme.
12 Keima, Thuhilpa hi Israelte leng kahin, chule Jerusalema chenga kahi.
I Ecclesiastes was king of Israel in Jerusalem;
13 Hetkhen themna holdoh theina ding in keima ka kipum pehdoh jeng in, chule nisa noija na kitongdoh ho chengse hi chihna’a kholdoh ding in ka gel’e. Keiman kahin mudoh chu Pathen in mihemte henga aumna akiphondoh hi ahi.
and Y purposide in my soule to seke and enserche wiseli of alle thingis, that ben maad vndur the sunne. God yaf this werste ocupacioun to the sones of men, that thei schulden be ocupied therynne.
14 Keiman nisa noija thil ache jomho ijakai hi kavetna ahileh atahbeh in, abonchan ajeh bei aphachom lou ding tobangbep ahije.
I siy alle thingis that ben maad vndur the sunne, and lo! alle thingis ben vanyte and turment of spirit.
15 Adih lou chu aki sudih tahbeh joupon, chule amangsa jong chu akinung mukit tapoi.
Weiward men ben amendid of hard; and the noumbre of foolis is greet with outen ende.
16 Keima ka lungthima ka kihoulim in, ka seijin, “Ven, kamasanga Jerusalema leng changho vaihomlai sangin jong ka ching joi. Keima amaho khatpen sangin jong chih john a le hetjohna kaneije,” kati.
I spak in myn herte, and Y seide, Lo! Y am made greet, and Y passide in wisdom alle men, that weren bifore me in Jerusalem; and my soule siy many thingis wiseli, and Y lernede.
17 Hiti chun keima ijakai chihna’a konna ngolna chule kingol sahna geija hetdohna ding in ka kalsong doh in ahi. Hinlah keima tah in kahetdoh chu hiche ho jouse hi pannabei thil tobangbep ahije.
And Y yaf myn herte, that Y schulde knowe prudence and doctryn, and errours and foli. And Y knew that in these thingis also was trauel and turment of spirit;
18 Ka chihna akibe cheh le ka gimna akibe cheh in, hetna akalbe cheh le lunggim na akibe cheh bepmin ahi.
for in myche wisdom is myche indignacioun, and he that encressith kunnyng, encreessith also trauel.
