Ecclesiastes 11
1 Cast thy bread upon the running waters: for after a long time thou shalt find it again.
Na rawca hah tui dawk tâkhawng haw, atueng moi a ro hnukkhu bout na hmu han.
2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
Tami sari touh dueng na hoeh, tami taroe touh hah rei lah. Talai dawk bangmaw kaawm han tie na panuek hoeh.
3 If the clouds be full, they will pour out rain upon the earth. If the tree fall to the south, or to the north, in what place soever it shall fall, there shall it be.
Tâmainaw teh khotui hoi a kawi torei teh talai dawk kho a rak. Thingkung ni akalah, atunglah a rawp nakunghai thoseh, A rawpnae hmuen dawk roup ao.
4 He that observeth the wind, shall not sow: and he that considereth the clouds, shall never reap.
Kahlî dueng ka khen e tami ni cati kahei hoeh, Tâmainaw banglahai ka noutna hoeh e ni hai canga mahoeh.
5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones are joined together in the womb of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the works of God, who is the maker of all.
Kahlî a cei nahane lam hai thoseh, camo ka neng e napui e von dawk a hrunaw ni bangtelamaw a roung tie hai thoseh, panue thai hoeh e patetlah a cawngca pueng kasakkung Cathut ni a tawksak e panuek thai hoeh.
6 In the morning sow thy seed, and In the evening let not thy hand cease: for thou knowest not which may rather spring up, this or that: and if both together, it shall be the better.
Amom lae atueng dawk cati kahei nateh, tangmin lahai kahei laipalah awm hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bangpatet hah maw aphu o han tie hai thoseh, hot roi teh kâvan e lah aphu ao han tie hai thoseh, panuek thai hoeh.
7 The light is sweet, and it is delightful for the eyes to see the sun.
Atangcalah, angnae teh a radip, kanî raeng a hmu nah lunghawi han kawi lah ao.
8 If a man live many years, and have rejoiced in them all, he must remember the darksome time, and the many days: which when they shall come, the things past shall be accused of vanity.
Hatnavah tami ni a hringyung asaw teh a lunghawi nakunghai, hmonae tueng hah pouk naseh, hote atueng teh moi a ro han. Kaawm tangcoung e hnonaw teh a hrawnghrang la doeh be ao.
9 Rejoice therefore, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart be in that which is good in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: and know that for all these God will bring thee into judgment.
Thoundoun nang, na naw lahun nah nawmnae sak awh haw, na nawnae tueng nah lunghawinae tawn haw. Ma ngainae lamthung hoi, na panuenae koe lah dawn haw, hat navah, hote hnonaw pueng Cathut ni lawkceng vaiteh, nang yon na pen han tie panuek awh.
10 Remove anger from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh. For youth and pleasure are vain.
Hatdawkvah, lungreithainae hoi na roedengnae hah takhoe haw, camonae hoi thoundounnae hai a hrawnghrang doeh.
