Thuhilpa 2
1 Keile kei ka kihouvin, “Hung in nopsahna patep hitin, hinkhoa thilpha phaho vehite,” kati ahi. Hinlah hiche jong hi ajeh-beihel tobangbep ahiti, keiman kamu doh in ahi.
I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove you with mirth, and behold you good: and, behold, this is also vanity.
2 Hiti chun keiman, “Nui jong hi ngolhoi ahi bouvin, nopsahna hol jong hin ipi phatna ahinsodoh em,” kati.
I said to laughter, Madness: and to mirth, Why do you this:
3 Lunggel tampi gel jouvin, keiman judonna lungthim kipasah ding in kagel in ahi. Chule chihna ka holhol laijin, ngolhoithu jong kagel in ahi. Hiti hin keiman hiche vannoija hi chomcha ahinsunguva, mi atamjon kipana tah ahol hol-u chu kahetdoh nom in ahi.
And I examined whether my heart would excite my flesh as [with] wine, (though my heart guided [me] in wisdom, ) and [I desired] to lay hold of mirth, until I should see of what kind is the good to the sons of men, which they should do under the sun all the days of their life.
4 Hiti hin keiman chenna ding in-len tahtah sah’a chule lengpilei hoi tahtah ho semdoh a kon hin, hinlona jeh hidiham tin kanagel in ahi.
I enlarged my work; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards.
5 Keiman hon tampi le kicholdona mun tampi kasem in, theiphung jat tintang kaphut dimin ahi.
I made me gardens and orchards, and planted in them every kind of fruit tree.
6 Keiman thingphung mang keikoija ahung um doh theinan twichapna ding in twikhol khomna ding tampi jong kasem in ahi.
I made me pools of water, to water from them the timber-bearing wood.
7 Keiman soh pasal hole soh numeiho jong ka chon chule ka-in muna pengden soh phabep jong ka neijin ahi. Chule keiman masanga Jerusalema ana cheng leng ana umsa ho sang in jong, gancha hole gan lentah tah ho geijin jong kanei tam jon ahi.
I got servants and maidens, and servants were born to me in the house: also I had abundant possession of flocks and herds, beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.
8 Keiman lengtampi ho le agam sung uva dangka tamtah le sana tamtah ho ka kholkhom in ahi. Keiman numei hole pasal ho lah’a lasathem kidangtah tah kaki thalah in chule melhoitah tah thaikem ho jong ka neijin, pasal khat in alung’a adeichat chan chu ka neisoh kei jin ahi.
Moreover I collected for myself both silver and gold also, and the peculiar treasures of kings and provinces: I procured me singing men and singing women, and delights of the sons of men, a butler and female cupbearers.
9 Hiti chun keima ka masanga Jerusalema ana cheng ho jouse sang in ka loupi jon, chule ka chihna’n keima eidalha pon ahi.
So I became great, and advanced beyond all that were before in Jerusalem: also my wisdom was established to me.
10 Kalunga ka ngaichat chan kakilah ji'e. Nopsahna kiti pouva chun ka noplou na aum poi. Na hahsa toh jeng’a jong ka tha nom lheh in, katoh gimna jousea tohman ka kimu cheh in ahi.
And whatever mine eyes desired, I withheld not from them, I withheld not my heart from all my mirth: for my heart rejoiced in all my labor; and this was my portion of all my labor.
11 Hinlah kana tohna jouse hi kavetna ahileh bulhit molso kiti hi ahahlheh in, ajeh bei ngensen ahi-huinung gahdel tobangbep ahi. Hoilai mun hijong leh aphachom dihtah kiti hi aum deh poi.
And I looked on all my works which my hands had wrought, and on my labor which I laboured to perform: and behold, all was vanity and waywardness of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun.
12 Hitia hi keiman chihna hitoh ki ngolsah nale ngolna hi ka tekah in ahileh (ajeh chu keima Lengpa tah’in kabol banga hi koiyin abolthei ding ham?)
Then I looked on to see wisdom, and madness, and folly: for who is the man who will follow after counsel, in all things where in he employs it?
13 “Khovah hi muthim sanga aphatjoh bang in, chihna hi ngolna sang in apha joi, tin ka gel in ahi.
And I saw that wisdom excels folly, as much as light excels darkness.
14 Ajeh chu miching hon achena ding aki muchet masat un, hinlah angol chu muthima avah lei. Hinlah miching le mingol jong achanding’u aki banggel in ahi.”
The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I perceived, even I, that one event shall happen to them all.
15 Keima lunggel’a, “Aniuva thigel ding ahi. Keima mingol banga kichai ding kahijeh in, kachihna jouse hi amanlutna ipi hintem? Hiche hi aboncha ajehbei hisohkei ahije!” kati.
And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, so shall it be to me, even to me: and to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, because the fool speaks of his abundance.
16 Ajeh chu miching le mingol aniuva athigellin ahi. Miching chu mingol sanga aki geldoh ding aumbe dehpoi. Ahung lhung ding nikhohoa aniuva ki geldoh lou ding ahi tauve.
For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool for ever; forasmuch as now [in] the coming days all things are forgotten: and how shall the wise man die with the fool?
17 Hitia keiman lei hinkho kahotna ajeh chu, hiche nisa noija kibol doh jouse hi lungboina bep ahije. Ijakai hi ajehbei tobang ahi-huinung gahdel tobangbep ahije.
So I hated life; because the work that was wrought under the sun was evil before me: for all is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
18 Keiman hiche leiset chunga kana toh gimna jouse hi kahin thei chim ahitai, ijeh- iham itileh keiman ka lodoh jouse hi midang ka dalhah peh ding ahije.
And I hated the whole of my labor which I took under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.
19 Chule keima panmun hinlo dingho chu ching diuha ahilouleh ngoldiu ha kon asei thei ding ham? Hinlah nipi noija keima boltheina le tohgimna jal'a phatchom pina kanei hohi, amahon ahin kimanchah diu ahitai. Itia ajeh bei soh hin tem!
And who knows whether he will be a wise [man] or a fool? and whether he will have power over all my labor in which I laboured, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? this is also vanity.
20 Hitia hi keima, hiche vannoija hi ka tohgimna jouse hi aphatchomna ipi um'em tia lung lha tah’a uma kahi.
so I went about to dismiss from my heart all my labor wherein I had laboured under the sun.
21 Mi phabep chun chingtheile hetna neijin, chule themtah in atongun, amaho chun chutia atohgimgau chu atong louhel khat dinga chu adalhah teidiu ahi. Hiche jong hi ajeh kihe lou ahin, lungnat umtah ahi.
For there is [such] a man that his labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; [yet] this man shall give his portion to one who has not laboured therein. This is also vanity and great evil.
22 Hitia hi mihon hiche hinkhoa hi atohgim nau jouse le alung gim nau jouseuva hi ipi akimu’u hinam?
For it happens to a man in all his labor, and in the purpose of his heart wherein he labors under the sun.
23 Atoh gimnau nikhoho chu thohgimna le lungnat nan adim un, jan ahi teng jongleh alung thim-u akicholdo theipoi. Chehi ajehbei tobangbep ahisoh keije.
For all his days [are days] of sorrows, and vexation of spirit is his; in the night also his heart rests not. This is also vanity.
24 Hiti hin keiman ka gellin mihem in aneh’a chule adonna, anatoh’a lungkimna anei ding sanga phajo aum poi kati. Hiti hin, hiche nopsahna hohi Pathen khutna hungkon ahi, ti keiman ka geldoh in ahi.
A man has nothing [really] good to eat, and to drink, and to show his soul [as] good in his trouble. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
25 Ajeh chu Amalouva kon aneh’a, ahilou leh nop asah ding hiya ham?
For who shall eat, or who shall drink, without him?
26 Pathen in chihna, hetna chule thanopna Ana lunglhaiho apeh ahi. Hinlah michonse khat chu neile gou ahaova ahileh hiche ahaona chu Pathen in alahmanga, ama lunglhaiho apeh ding ahi. Hiche jong hi ajeh beihel aphachom lou ding ahibouve.
For [God] has given to the man who is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but he has given to the sinner trouble, to add and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God; for this is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.
