< 傳道書 12 >
1 在你年輕的時日,在災禍的日子來到之前,即在你說的那些「沒有歡樂」的日子來到之前,你應記念你的造主;
Nakhangdonlai thanopna chun na Sempa suhmilna sodoh hih hen. Natehset masang nakhangdon laihin, Ama chu jabollin chule “Hinkho hi anomtapoi,” tin seijin.
2 不要等到太陽、光體、月亮、星辰失光,雨後雲彩再來;
Nateh’a namit tenin nisa lha le ahsiho vah avetna athim masang in, chule meibol’a kona go hung ju lha ding van chu athim masangin Ama chu geldoh in.
3 因為那時,看門者戰慄,大力士屈伏,推磨的婦女因為少而停工,眺望窗外的女人面目昏黑,
Na in ngah’a pang nakengho chu ahung kithin masang in, na mihat ho alhahsuh uva chule na lengkou teni ahung bon masang in, na Sempa geldoh in. Nasoh um amoh chengse le naha hon ima alhai theilou masang in; chule namit tenin amutheina bangkot, numei hon avetna chu ahung thim masang in, Ama chu geldoh in.
4 兩扇街門將要關閉,磨聲低微,雀鳥息聲,歌女低吟,
Hinkhoa phat kijen naneipat ahung kichai masang in chule natohgim phat ahung kichai masang in, Ama chu geldoh in. Husat ginho ahung thipma chule vacha hamgin najah masat tengleh nangma nahung kithodoh ding ahi.
5 怕上高處,行路危險,杏子被棄,蚱蜢被嫌,續隨子失去效力,因為人要回永久的家鄉,哀悼的人徘徊街頭;
Nangma lhuh ding nahung kichat tijatna, chule lamlen jotna’a jong setto ding nalung khama, vaopah banga nasam ho ahung kana, chule khaokhopi tobanga nakhupboh’a lam nahin jot masang in, chule jitoh kingaina imacha nei talouva nahung um masang in, Ama chu geldoh in. Nangman na tonsot mun na jot masanga, lhankhuh nanai tul tul’a, na kivuina muna lunghem ho aka phat’u hung lhun masang in, Ama chu geldoh in.
6 那時銀鏈將斷,金燈將碎,水罐將破於泉旁,輪子將爛於井邊,
Nangma nakhandon pat hin dangka khaogui akibotan masang, sana khon aki vohkeh masang, twinah phunga twibel aki tachip masang, twibel phunga kangtalai aki vohbal masang in, na Sempa geldoh in.
7 灰塵將歸於原來的土中,生氣將歸於天主,因為原是天主之所賜。
Ijeh inem itileh hiche phat chu ahung lhunteng, vut leiset kisoh kit intin; chule lhagao chu apepa Pathen henga kile kit ding ahi.
Thuhilpa chun, “Ijakai ajehbei tobangbep ahi, ajeh bei ahisoh keije,” ati.
9 訓道者不但是智者,並且教人獲得知識,在沉思推究之後,編撰了許多格言。
Hiche hi nalung in ching jing in: Thuhilpa chu miching ahin, chule amachun ahetchan chu miho ahilji ahi. Ama chun thuchih tampi chingthetah’a angaitoa, agel-a chule ahop khen tohle ahi.
10 訓道者費神尋找適當的語句,忠誠地寫下了真理之言。
Thuhilpa chun, thudihtah chu mudoh dinga ahol-a thutah chu kichehtah’a aphondoh nom ahi.
11 智者的話好似錐子,收集起的言論集,好像釘牢的釘子:二者都是一位牧者所賜。
Miching thusei hochu tengcha hemtah tobanga ahin, najongleh phachoma ahi. Athuseiju kilakhom hohi thingkil kikil matchet tobang leuva kelngoi chingpan akelngoi ho huikhomna’a amanchah ji tobang ahi.
12 除此之外,我兒,不必再找別的書籍,書不論寫多少,總沒有止境;用功過度,必使身體疲倦。
Hinlah kacha, Keiman thuhilna naneibe kit inge: Chingthei jin, ajeh chu lekhabu ho jihdoh kitia kichai tih aumpoi, chule lekha hasim hin na cholsah ahije.
13 總而言之:「你應敬畏天主,遵守他的誡命,因為這是眾人的義務。」
Hiche hi aboncha thu kaigom ahi. Tun keiman thukhumkhana kanei hi ngai phan: Pathen ginna neijin chule athupeh ho jui jin, ajeh chu hiche hi amitakip tohding kin ahi.
14 因為天主對一切行為,連最隱秘的,不論好壞,都要一一審判。
Ijakai chung changa, guhthim thudol- apha hihen ase hijongleh, Pathen in eiho thilbol dungjui cheh’a thutanna anei ding ahi.
