Thuhilpa 8
1 Chihna neihi iti kidan hitam, thil ho geltohna neija chule ipi kiseina ahi phongdoh chihna hin, mihem amai avahsah in lungkhohna asunem theije.
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
2 Nangman Pathen thua nung dinga nakitepna dung jui chun lengpa thu thun nung in.
I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
3 Natoh ding kin bollou ding in kigo hih in, chule lungthim phalou gongho tojong pan lakhom hih beh-in, ajeh chu lengpan abolnom nom abolthei ahije.
Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
4 Athupeh chu thaneina in ajuijin, koima ananjou dingleh ipi dinga hitia nabol ham tia seithei ding aum poi.
Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
5 Athua nungho chun talen man pouvinte. Miching ho chun adih bolna ding phat ahaimil pouvin chule abolje ahet tei ding’u ahi.
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.
6 Ajeh chu thil ijakai bolna ding phat le bolje hetna phat mikhat chun hahsatna ato teng jongleh amuji ahi.
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
7 Ahimong in, ipi hunglhung ding ahi hephalou mipi chun iti hichu apel thei diu hitam?
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
8 I-lah’uva ithi diu nikho atuhtang thei ium pouve. Hiche muthim galsatna, ito diu hi ahoidohna ding aum poi.
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
9 Hiche nipi noija che jinga, chal jinga um miho chun khat le khat kisuh khah tona aneiyu hi lunggil tah in kangaiton ahi.
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
10 Keiman migilou ho jabol tah’a akivui kamui. Hinlah amaho hi houin sunga chu kijomtah’a athilbol phalouvu umna mun ma’a chun jabolna achanguve! Hiche jong hi ajeh bei tobangbep ahi kit’e.
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
11 Asukhel chu gimbolna akipeh paiji louva ahileh, miho chun thilse bol ding in ahung kitil khou doh jiuvin ahi.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12 Hinlah mikhat chun chonset javei jen bol hen lang chule sotpi hing nalai henlang hijongleh, Pathen gingho dingin aphajo cheh ahiti, keiman kahei.
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
13 Migilouho chu lolhing lou diu ahi, ajeh chu amahon Pathen ginna anei pouve. Nilhah lam lim tobangbep’in ahinkhou sotponte.
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
14 Chule hiche hi i-chen nau vannoi leisetna ajehbeija ahideh poi. Hiche lei hinkhoa hin miphaho jong chu migilouho bolla akibol kom aum jiuvin, chule migilouho hi miphatah bolla akibol nau jong aumjie. Hiche jong hi ajehbei tobangbep chu ahi.
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
15 Hiti chun keiman nuijat’umna chu ka phatsah’in ahi, ajeh chu mihon aneh uva, adon uva chule hinkho akipa thanoppi diu hi kaphat sahpeh ahi. Hitia chu Pathen’in amaho chu nipi noija ana tohgim nauva kon kipana khat anei theina diu ahi.
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
16 Keiman chihna kaholna’a hin, chule hiche vannoi leiset chunga miho pohgih poh kavet jingna’a hin, keiman kakholdoh chu sunle janna kichol tih um louva kho-sahna ka mudoh in ahi.
When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes: )
17 Keiman kahetdoh chu mihem koimachan Pathen’in nipi noija anatohdoh chu akholdoh joulou ding ahi, tihi ahi. Mihem koima chan ipi seijong leh miching penho jengin jong ijakai akholdoh joulou diu ahi.
Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
