Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;
Keiman nipi noija thil chombeh aphamo tah khat kamudoh aum in, hichu mihemte lah’a aum jing in ahi.
2 A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.
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.
3 If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.
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.
4 In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.
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.
5 Yes, it saw not the sun, and it had no knowledge; it is better with this than with the other.
6 And though he goes on living a thousand years twice over and does not see good, are not the two going to the same place?
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?
7 All the work of man is for his mouth, and still he has a desire for food.
Mijousen ahinkhou apum pia anholna’n kimai jun tin, hinlah anei lhingset diu ginchat aum poi.
8 What have the wise more than the foolish? and what has the poor man by walking wisely before the living?
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?
9 What the eyes see is better than the wandering of desire. This is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
Na nei lou na ngaichat sang in, nanei chunga lunglhaijon. Thilpha thilhoi nei nomna lunggel kiti hi aphat chomna bei kidel tobang ahi.
10 That which is, has been named before, and of what man is there is knowledge. He has no power against one stronger than he.
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.
11 There are words without number for increasing what is to no purpose, but what is man profited by them?
Thu naha seitam chan-a ima phachomlou ahi. Ahileh hiche ho chu ipi phachom em?
12 Who is able to say what is good for man in life all the days of his foolish life which he goes through like a shade? who will say what is to be after him under the sun?
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?
