Ecclesiastes 3
1 All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
Ijakai dingin aphat aumcheh in, vannoija hin ijakai achat loh thei ding in phat aum cheh’e.
2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
Penna ding phat aum in chule thiphat aum’e. Aphu phat aum in chule a‘at phat aum’e.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
Atha’phat aum in chule asuhdam phat aum’e. Aphet lhah phat aum in chule asahdoh phat aum’e.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
Ka phat aumin chule nui phat aume. Lunghem phat aum in chule lam phat aume.
5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
Song sethang phat aum in chule song khopkhom phat aum’e. Ki-angkol phat aum in chule kihei mang phat aum’e.
6 A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
Thil holphat aum in chule thilhol ngah phat aum’e. Akholkhom phat aumin chule athe cheh phat aum’e.
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
Abo-eh phat aumnin chule akhui bit phat aum’e. Thipbeh’a umphat aumin chule thusei phat aume.
8 A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.
Kingailut phat aumin chule kivetda phat aume. Kinah phat aum in chule kicham phat aum’e.
9 What hath man more of his labour?
Ana tohhat man uva miho hin ipi akimu mong mong uvem?
10 I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it.
Pathen’in i-bonchau chunga pohgih eikoipeh cheh’u kamu doh tai.
11 He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end.
Ahijeng vang'in, Pathen’in ijakai amachang cheh dingin hoisel in asem in ahi. Aman mihemte lungsunga tonsot akhum lut peh in, hinlah chuti ahijeng vang'in, mihem in Pathen tohgon apatna pat achaina geijin amu phapoi.
12 And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
Hijeh’a hi keiman, mihem chu akipa’a chule ijochan geijuva thanopna inei dingu sanga phajo dang aumpoi, tia ka gel lhah ahi tai.
13 For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God.
Chule miho hin aneh’uva chule adon’uva chule atohgim gahou, athanoppi diu hi Pathen’in manbeiya athil peh-u chu ahi.
14 I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared.
Chule ipi hijongleh Pathen in athilbol chan chu achaina ahi jenge. Imacha gah koibe ding ahilouleh gah lahdoh ding aum poi. Pathen in alung gon chu mihem ten Ama agin ding’u hi ahi.
15 That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.
Tua hung sohdoh hohi tumasanga ana sohdohsa ahitai, chule khonunga hung soh ding ho chu tuma’a ana sohdoh sa ahitai, ajeh chu Pathen in hiho chu avel vella ahin um dohsah kitji ahije.
16 I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity.
Nisa noija keiman ka mudoh kit chu, thutanna dan aphalou um ka hedoh’e. Tahbeh in, Dan Thutanna mun chu thudih aum poi.
17 And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.
Keimatah in ka lungthima, “Aphatcha Pathen in apha hileh ase hileh amichang cheh chu anatoh hou jouse jal'a achungthu’u atan ding ahi,” kati.
18 I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.
Keiman mihemte dinmun thua kagel lin-Pathen’in mihemte henga amaho jong gancha hole gamsaho tobangbep ahiuve, ti aphochen in ahi.
19 Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity.
Ajeh chu gamsaho le mihemte chan kibang ahinau aume-haitheina anei gel uvin chule thithei gel ahiuve. Hitia hi mihemin gamsa ho sanga phatchom john a tahbeh anei deh pouve. Ajeh bei iti hi’a hitam!
20 And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together.
Ania munkhatna chekhoma ahi-vutna kona hung kondoh’uva ahin, aniuva vut kisohkit diu ahi.
21 Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?
Ajeh chu koiham mihem lhagao akaltouvin chule gamsaho lhagao leisetna akumsuh’e ti, koi jin aphotchet thei jem?
22 And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him?
Hitia hi keiman mihem dinga anatoh chunga akipa diu sanga phajo kamupoi. Eiho hi koiman ithi jou tenguleh nopsahna dinga thina’a konna eihin lepui ding’u ahi tapoi.
