Ecclesiastes 4
1 So I returned, and saw all the oppressions that were done under the sun: and behold the tear of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of them that oppressed them was power; but they had no comforter:
Avel in, keiman nipi noija kibol hesohna jouse ka mun ahi. Keiman akibol hesohho mitlhi lon kamun, alhamon ding’u koima aum poi. Agimbol hou chun thuneina lentah anei juvin, chule amaho khutnoija umho chun ima thuneina aneipouve.
2 and I praised all the dead that had already died more than the living, as many as are alive until now.
Hiti hin keiman kangel lhah chu, mithisa hohi mihingho sangin aphat johnau aum’e, kati.
3 Better also than both these is he who has not yet been, who has not seen all the evil work that is done under the sun.
Ahinlah apeng lou laiho ding in gam cheng in apha chom jo nalaije. Ajeh chu nipi noija thilse kibol hohi amahon amukhah louvu ahi.
4 And I saw all labour, and all the diligent work, that this is a man's envy from his neighbour. This is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.
Chutah in keiman kamu doh chu mi atamjo hi lolhinna ding in akitilkhou uve, ajeh chu amaho aheng le akom-u mihou jeng ahi. Hinlah hiche jong hi ajeh bei tobang aum den lou ding hija ahi.
5 The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.
‘‘Mingol hon athasetnau khut akisip chah’u chu amahthahna ding’u ahi.’’
6 Better is a handful of rest than two handfuls of trouble and waywardness of spirit.
Ahijeng vang'in, “Khut khat dim thip khen cha nei ding hi khutni dimset aum den lou ding, tongimma nei sang in aphajoi.”
7 So I returned, and saw vanity under the sun.
Keiman nipi noija vetsahna jat chom beh khat kavet be kit in ahi.
8 There is one [alone], and there is not a second; yes, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.
Hiche hi mikhat ama changseh’a khosapa thudol ahin, cha khat jong neilou, sopi pasal jong neilou ahia, ajo channa tong gimma neile nga khol khoma ahi. Hiti chun amale ama aki dong in, “Koi dinga tonggima ka him? Tua hi ibola keiman nopsahna donse louva kahi hitam?” ati. Hiche ho jouse hi ajeh apol beihel le lung lhahna thei tah ahibouve.
9 Two [are] better than one, [seeing] they have a good reward for their labour.
Mini hi mikhat sang in aphachom joi, ajeh chu amani chu kihuto thei gel hilhonna lolhing thei ding ahi lhon’e.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls, and there is not a second to lift him up.
Mikhat chu alhuh’a ahi leh, khat joh chun akhut alhan doh’a akithopi thei ahi. Hinlah koiham khat chu achangin lhu taleh boimong mong ding ahi tai.
11 Also if two should lie together, they also get heat: but how shall one be warmed [alone?]
Hitobangma chun, mini chu alup khom lhonna ahileh aki sang lum to gel lhon thei je. Hinlah mikhat chu iti lum doh jou ding hitam?
12 And if one should prevail against [him], the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord shall not be quickly broken.
Mikhat achanga ding chu midang in adelkhuma chule ajo paithei ahin, hijongleh mini vang chu kinung thopto lhonna chule ajothei lhon ding ahi. Thumchu pha cheh’a ahi, ajeh chu khaohol thum'a kihal lhop chu bailam tah’a kibot tanlou ding ahi.
13 Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knows not how to take heed any longer.
Khangthah mivaicha le chingtah pachu tehse le lungngol koimahil lalou Lengpa sang in apha chom joi.
14 For he shall come forth out of the house of the prisoners to reign, because [he] also that was in his kingdom has become poor.
Chutobang khangdongpa chu vaichatna a konna hung kithou dohtheija chule lolhing thei ahije. Ama chu songkulla umjong leh ama chu leng hung chang thei jong ahi nalaije.
15 I saw all the living who were walking under the sun, with the second youth who shall stand up in each one's place.
Hinlah amitakip chu athalhenga pangpa, khangdong chomdangpa koma chun aga lhailut jo jiuvin ahi.
16 There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them: and the last shall not rejoice in him: for this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
Mihonpi chu kichai tih um louvin akoma chun ahung ding khom’uvin, hinlah khang ahung kikhel phat chun ama jong chu adeimo bolkittauvin ahi. Hijeh chun hiche ho jouse hi ajeh beile phatchomna bei ahi sohkeije.
