Thuhilpa 6
1 Keiman nipi noija thil chombeh aphamo tah khat kamudoh aum in, hichu mihemte lah’a aum jing in ahi.
I have observed another evil here on earth, and it has a great impact on humanity.
2 Pathen’in mi phabep chu haona bulhingset le jabolna chule angai chatbe chan diu geijin apen, hinlah hicheho chu nopsah pina neithei manlouva koi-mi aumin ahi. Amaho chu athiuvin, chule midang hetphah loubeh mi khatnin anei le gou, thil lamdoh chu anopsahpi lheh jin ahi! Hiche hi hamsetna nat pithei leu pannabei ahibouve.
God gives wealth, possessions, and honor to someone. They have everything they want. But God doesn't let them enjoy what they have. Instead somebody else does! This is hard to fathom, and is truly evil.
3 Mi khat in cha jakhat jen nei theijinte chule atehset geijin hingkhat nante. Hinlah amachun hinkhoa lungkimna neihih henlang, chule kivuina pha neita hihleh, ama dinga chu ahungpena athisa ana-hitaleh phajo ding ahi.
A man could have one hundred children, and grow old, but it wouldn't matter how long his life was if he couldn't enjoy it and at the end receive a decent burial. I would say that a stillborn child would be better off than him.
4 Mihem a apen chu ajehbei tobang hi ding, chule muthim lhang khal kiheh lah’a ahinkho kichai tobangbep hi ding ahije. Ama chun min kiti jong nei louva, chule nisa jong mu talouva chule nisa-umlam jong hepha lou hiding ahi tai. Hijongleh ama chun kipah loutah’a ahung seilet sanga lung olna anei joh ding ahi.
The way a stillborn child comes into the world and then leaves is painfully hard to understand—arriving and departing in darkness—and who he would have been is never known.
He never saw the light of day or knew what it was like to live. Yet the child finds rest, and not this man.
6 Ama chu kum sangkhat val, nivei geijin hing ding hijongleh lungkimna aneitah lou ding ahi. Chule ama chun midang khat tobanga thina atoding, hichun ipi aphat chomsah ding ham?
Even if this man were to live a thousand years twice over he still wouldn't be happy. Don't we all end up in the same place—the grave?
7 Mijousen ahinkhou apum pia anholna’n kimai jun tin, hinlah anei lhingset diu ginchat aum poi.
Everyone works so they can live, but they're never satisfied.
8 Hitia hi miching hohi mingolho sanga phachom jouva hilou ham? Mivaicha hon achih jeh’uva ipi phatchomna akimuva chule midang masanga iti chon ding akihet’uvem?
So then, what real advantage do wise people have over those who are fools? And do poor people really gain anything in knowing how to behave in front of others?
9 Na nei lou na ngaichat sang in, nanei chunga lunglhaijon. Thilpha thilhoi nei nomna lunggel kiti hi aphat chomna bei kidel tobang ahi.
Be happy with what you have instead of running after what you don't! But this is also hard to do, like running after the wind.
10 Thil ijakai hohi kigong tupsa ngen ahiuve. Mi khat cheh hi ipi ahi ding’u tona kigong sapeh ahi tauve. Hijeh chun natonsot khankho ding chung chang thua jong Pathen nanel kallou ding ahi.
Everything that exists has already been described. Everyone knows what people are like, and that you can't win an argument with a superior.
11 Thu naha seitam chan-a ima phachomlou ahi. Ahileh hiche ho chu ipi phachom em?
For the more words you use, the harder it is to make sense. So what's the point?
12 I-hinlonau pannabei nikho phabep sunga hi, i-hin nikhou hi iti kimang hoi thei pen ding ham ti koijin ahet nem? I-hinkhou hi lelim tobangbep ahi. I-che nung tenguleh hiche leisetna hi ipi ahung lhung ding koijin aseithei jem?
Who knows what's best for us and our lives? During our short lives that pass like shadows we have many unanswered questions. And who can tell us what will happen when we're gone?
