Thuhilpa 11
1 Nangman na muchi chu twipi gallam geijin thotdoh in, chule aphatcha a-pungdoh chu nahenga hung le lhun kit ding ahi.
Cast your bread on the waters: for you shall find it after many days.
2 Hinlah nangman na sumkhol ho chu mun tampia homjal in, ajeh chu ipi hahsatna in ahinphah ding nangin nahepoi.
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for you know not what evil shall be on the earth.
3 Meibol kitol atam tengleh, go ahung julha jin ahi. Thingphung chu sahlam hihen lhanglam hijongleh alhuhna’a chun aum den jeng’e.
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall be.
4 Loubol mi chun gophat pet anga leh chang phutdoh ponte. Meibol kitol avetsui jing uleh, itih in jong chang at pouvinte.
He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that regards the clouds shall not reap.
5 Nangman huinun na chu alampi na hetdoh theilou tobang'in, ahilouleh naocha anu oisunga kijil chu iti hungkhan let ham ti na het thei lou tobang'in, nangman hiche ho jouse hinbol’a Pathen chaloh dan nahet thei lou ding ahi.
As you know not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so you know not the works of God who makes all.
6 Jingkah tengleh na muchi kitun lang, ni lhangkai jongleh gunchun ponpan in, ijeh inem itileh hoipenna chu apung ding pen chu hung sohdoh ding ham ti nangman nahe poi.
In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening withhold not your hand: for you know not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
7 Vah hi anom’e! Khovah thah hunglhun vet hi iti lunglhai um hitam?
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
8 Mi chu ateh geija ahinna ahileh, anitin hinkhoa kipah hen. Chujongleh hinkhoa gimna nikho jong tampi hunglhung ding ahiti jong geldoh uhen. Thil ahung lhungbe dingho hi ajeh bei tobangbep hung hi theija ahi.
But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.
9 Khangdong ho, khandonlai hi iti kidan hitam! Kipana tothon nalunggil in kihilna nei jing in, na bolnom chan bol lin; nalunggot nalam jousea chelen, chule namit tenin avetthei chan vehen. Ahinlah nathilbol chan chu Pathen henga namopohna hiding ahi, ti geldoh in.
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes: but know you, that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
10 Hijeh chun lungkhamna kiti bol hih in, chule natahsa damtheina din kichin tup in; chule hiche hi geldoh jing in, khandonlai na masanga na hinkho umsun hi ajehbei tobangbep ahibouve.
Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
