Ecclesiastes 5
1 Guard your foot, when you step into the house of God, and draw near, so that you may listen. For obedience is much better than the sacrifices of the foolish, who do not know the evil that they are doing.
Pathen houna in na nalut tengleh, nakol sung in lang chule na kam kihup in. Geltoh louva Pathenna kilhaina sem chu pha louva ahi.
2 You should not speak anything rashly, nor should your heart be hasty to present a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth. For this reason, let your words be few.
Kitepna geltoh louvin mohsem sem hih in, chule Pathen angsunga thil hinlhut loi ding kino hih beh in. Pathen chu vanna uma ahin, nangma hiche leisetna hi uma na hije. Hijeh chun na thusei chom hen.
3 Dreams follow many worries, and in many words foolishness will be found.
Naha chaloh behset naho hin kichol dothei louna mang namat sah ding, thu na tam seival hin mingol nasosah bep ding ahi.
4 If you have vowed anything to God, you should not delay to repay it. And whatever you have vowed, render it. But an unfaithful and foolish promise displeases him.
Nangman Pathenna kitepna nanei tengleh, hichu jui lhung ding khongai sot hih in, ijeh inem itileh Pathen’in mingol ho chunga lunglhai na anei poi. Ama henga na kitepna jouse chu bulhit molson.
5 And it is much better not to make a vow, than, after a vow, not to fulfill what was promised.
Kitepna neija ahiala suhbulhit louva um sang in, imacha sei lou beh chu pha joa ahi.
6 You should not use your mouth so as to cause your flesh to sin. And you should not say, in the sight of an Angel, “There is no Providence.” For God, being angry at your words, may scatter all the works of your hands.
Nakam in na chonset sah hih beh hen. Nangman hou-in lhacha pa jah’a chun kitepna ka nanei chu ka seikhel ahitai tin nangle nang kihonnan sei hih in. Hichun Pathen a lunghan sah joh ding, chule aman natohdoh umsa chengse chu su-mang loget inte.
7 Where there are many dreams, there are many vanities and innumerable words. Yet truly, you must fear God.
Mangmat le pannabei thilbol apunbe tobang'in, thu sei doh jong abai lam in ahi. Hinlah nangman Pathen ging jon.
8 If you see false accusations against the indigent, and violent judgments, and subverted justice in the government, do not be surprised over this situation. For those in high places have others who are higher, and there are still others, more eminent, over these.
Thanei tah khat in mivaicha chu agimbol hesoh namua chule gamsung pumpia thutahle chonphatna chu alamlouva akiheikoija ahiltah jongleh hichu datmo hih in. Ajeh chu achungnung penna thuneipa sanga chung nungjo chun agel khoh ahin, chule amaho sanga sangjo ho aum uve.
9 But finally, there is the King who rules over the entire earth, which is subject to him.
Chu kal val in, leiset hi mi jouse phatchomna ding ahi; hitia chu lengpa alouma’a kihinso ahi.
10 A greedy man will not be satisfied by money. And whoever loves wealth will reap no fruit from it. Therefore, this, too, is emptiness.
Sum ngailu ho chun suma ning lhin tih anei lou diu. neile gouvin kipana dihtah apeh ding gel’a chun phatchompi ponte.
11 Where there are many riches, there will also be many to consume these things. And how does it benefit the one who possesses, except that he discerns the wealth with his own eyes?
Natamnei channa chu na suhmang huding mi tamcheh hung um ding ahi. Hijeh chun neile gou hi na khuttah’a konna aki toldoh navet tilou ipi aphat chomna nahet em?
12 Sleep is sweet to one who works, whether he consumes little or much. But the satiation of a wealthy man will not permit him to sleep.
Na tonggimho chun tamneh henlang, lhom neh jong leh a-ihmut’u anom’e. Hinlah mihao chun ih-mut nopna amu joupoi.
13 There is even another most burdensome infirmity, which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept to the harm of the owner.
Nipi noija aboitah khat kamu doh kit aum ben ahi. Neile gou kikhol khom hi aneipa ding in aphat mona aum e.
14 For they are lost in a most grievous affliction. He has produced a son, who will be in the utmost destitution.
Sum hi apung dinga kikhol khom jong hi hahsatna ahinle sodoh jin, chule hiche jeh hin ijakai amanlo jibep’e. Achaina tengleh achate dinga ima pehson ding nei louvin aum jitai.
15 Just as he went forth naked from his mother’s womb, so shall he return, and he shall take nothing with him from his labors.
Eiho jouse hi i-hungpen uva banga sagohkeu le khut gohkeuva i-hinkho’u hi hung kichai ding ahi. Nei le gou inei hou kipoh thei ihi pouve.
16 It is an utterly miserable infirmity that, in the same manner as he has arrived, so shall he return. How then does it benefit him, since he has labored for the wind?
Chule hiche jong hi boi-umtah ahi. Mihon hiche vannoi adalhah’uhi ahungpen sanguva aphat john a aumpoi. Atohgim nau jouse hi amang thah bep ding ahibouve.
17 All the days of his life he consumes: in darkness, and with many worries, and in distress as well as sadness.
Ahinkho lhung keijuva lungkim louna, lunglhahna chule lunghanna meipi noija uma ahiuve.
18 And so, this has seemed good to me: that a person should eat and drink, and should enjoy the fruits of his labor, in which he has toiled under the sun, for the number of the days of his life that God has given him. For this is his portion.
Hiti chu ahi vang'in, thilpha khat keiman kahin mudoh in ahi. Hichu mihem in nipi noija Pathen in apeh hinkho chomcha um sunga aneh’a, adon’a, chule anatoh chunga akipa thanop pia chule achan chunga alung lhai ding hi ahi.
19 And this is a gift from God: that every man to whom God has given wealth and resources, and to whom he has granted the ability to consume these, may enjoy his portion, and may find joy in his labors.
Chule Pathenna konna neile gou chule damtheina anei kipapina anei dinghi thilpha ahi. Nanatoh nathanoppia chule nahinkhoa nachan chu nalung oipia ahileh hiche hi Pathen thilpeh chu ahije.
20 And then he will not fully remember the days of his life, because God occupies his heart with delights.
Pathen in hitobang miho hi akisah boisah lhehji jeh in, amahon achesa ho gelna phat anei man pouve.
