Thuhilpa 5
1 Pathen houna in na nalut tengleh, nakol sung in lang chule na kam kihup in. Geltoh louva Pathenna kilhaina sem chu pha louva ahi.
Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
2 Kitepna geltoh louvin mohsem sem hih in, chule Pathen angsunga thil hinlhut loi ding kino hih beh in. Pathen chu vanna uma ahin, nangma hiche leisetna hi uma na hije. Hijeh chun na thusei chom hen.
Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. After all, God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.
3 Naha chaloh behset naho hin kichol dothei louna mang namat sah ding, thu na tam seival hin mingol nasosah bep ding ahi.
As a dream comes through many cares, so the speech of a fool comes with many words.
4 Nangman Pathenna kitepna nanei tengleh, hichu jui lhung ding khongai sot hih in, ijeh inem itileh Pathen’in mingol ho chunga lunglhai na anei poi. Ama henga na kitepna jouse chu bulhit molson.
When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, because He takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill your vow.
5 Kitepna neija ahiala suhbulhit louva um sang in, imacha sei lou beh chu pha joa ahi.
It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
6 Nakam in na chonset sah hih beh hen. Nangman hou-in lhacha pa jah’a chun kitepna ka nanei chu ka seikhel ahitai tin nangle nang kihonnan sei hih in. Hichun Pathen a lunghan sah joh ding, chule aman natohdoh umsa chengse chu su-mang loget inte.
Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not tell the messenger that your vow was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?
7 Mangmat le pannabei thilbol apunbe tobang'in, thu sei doh jong abai lam in ahi. Hinlah nangman Pathen ging jon.
For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.
8 Thanei tah khat in mivaicha chu agimbol hesoh namua chule gamsung pumpia thutahle chonphatna chu alamlouva akiheikoija ahiltah jongleh hichu datmo hih in. Ajeh chu achungnung penna thuneipa sanga chung nungjo chun agel khoh ahin, chule amaho sanga sangjo ho aum uve.
If you see the oppression of the poor and the denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be astonished at the matter; for one official is watched by a superior, and others higher still are over them.
9 Chu kal val in, leiset hi mi jouse phatchomna ding ahi; hitia chu lengpa alouma’a kihinso ahi.
The produce of the earth is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
10 Sum ngailu ho chun suma ning lhin tih anei lou diu. neile gouvin kipana dihtah apeh ding gel’a chun phatchompi ponte.
He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is futile.
11 Natamnei channa chu na suhmang huding mi tamcheh hung um ding ahi. Hijeh chun neile gou hi na khuttah’a konna aki toldoh navet tilou ipi aphat chomna nahet em?
When good things increase, so do those who consume them; what then is the profit to the owner, except to behold them with his eyes?
12 Na tonggimho chun tamneh henlang, lhom neh jong leh a-ihmut’u anom’e. Hinlah mihao chun ih-mut nopna amu joupoi.
The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich man permits him no sleep.
13 Nipi noija aboitah khat kamu doh kit aum ben ahi. Neile gou kikhol khom hi aneipa ding in aphat mona aum e.
There is a grievous evil I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,
14 Sum hi apung dinga kikhol khom jong hi hahsatna ahinle sodoh jin, chule hiche jeh hin ijakai amanlo jibep’e. Achaina tengleh achate dinga ima pehson ding nei louvin aum jitai.
or wealth lost in a failed venture, so when that man has a son there is nothing to pass on.
15 Eiho jouse hi i-hungpen uva banga sagohkeu le khut gohkeuva i-hinkho’u hi hung kichai ding ahi. Nei le gou inei hou kipoh thei ihi pouve.
As a man came from his mother’s womb, so he will depart again, naked as he arrived. He takes nothing for his labor to carry in his hands.
16 Chule hiche jong hi boi-umtah ahi. Mihon hiche vannoi adalhah’uhi ahungpen sanguva aphat john a aumpoi. Atohgim nau jouse hi amang thah bep ding ahibouve.
This too is a grievous evil: Exactly as a man is born, so he will depart. What does he gain as he toils for the wind?
17 Ahinkho lhung keijuva lungkim louna, lunglhahna chule lunghanna meipi noija uma ahiuve.
Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.
18 Hiti chu ahi vang'in, thilpha khat keiman kahin mudoh in ahi. Hichu mihem in nipi noija Pathen in apeh hinkho chomcha um sunga aneh’a, adon’a, chule anatoh chunga akipa thanop pia chule achan chunga alung lhai ding hi ahi.
Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of life that God has given him—for this is his lot.
19 Chule Pathenna konna neile gou chule damtheina anei kipapina anei dinghi thilpha ahi. Nanatoh nathanoppia chule nahinkhoa nachan chu nalung oipia ahileh hiche hi Pathen thilpeh chu ahije.
Furthermore, God has given riches and wealth to every man, and He has enabled him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.
20 Pathen in hitobang miho hi akisah boisah lhehji jeh in, amahon achesa ho gelna phat anei man pouve.
For a man seldom considers the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.
