Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an euill, which I sawe vnder the sunne, and it is much among men:
Khomik hmuiah ka hmuh he boethae la om tih te te hlang soah yet coeng.
2 A man to whom God hath giuen riches and treasures and honour, and he wanteth nothing for his soule of all that it desireth: but God giueth him not power to eate thereof, but a strange man shall eate it vp: this is vanitie, and this is an euill sicknesse.
Pathen loh hlang te a taengah khuehtawn, koeva, neh thangpomnah a paek. Te dongah a ngaidam boeih khui lamloh a hinglu te talh pawh. Tedae te te a caak hamla Pathen loh anih a taemrhai sak moenih. Te te kholong hlang a cah he a honghi neh tloh thae ni.
3 If a man beget an hundreth children and liue many yeeres, and the dayes of his yeeres be multiplied, and his soule be not satisfied with good things, and he be not buried, I say that an vntimely fruite is better then he.
Hlang long he yakhat a sak tih kum a yet a hing mai khaming, a kum khohnin khaw muep lo mai khaming. Tedae a hinglu loh hnothen te cung pawt tih phuel ah khaw amah taengah a om pah moenih. Anih lakah aka rhumpu te then lah ka ti.
4 For he commeth into vanitie and goeth into darkenesse: and his name shall be couered with darkenesse.
Anih te a honghi la ha thoeng tih a hmuep ah a caeh dongah a ming khaw a hmuep ah a vuei pah.
5 Also he hath not seene ye sunne, nor knowen it: therefore this hath more rest then the other.
Khomik hmu pawt mai cakhaw mongnah he tah a tloe loh anih lakah a ming moenih.
6 And if he had liued a thousand yeeres twise tolde, and had seene no good, shall not all goe to one place?
Kum thawngkhat a rhaep la hing sitoe cakhaw hnothen a hmuh hae moenih. Hmuen pakhat la boeih a caeh moenih a?
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth: yet the soule is not filled.
Hlang kah thakthaenah boeih he a ka ham ni. Tedae a hinglu khaw a cung tlaih moenih.
8 For what hath the wise man more then the foole? what hath the poore that knoweth how to walke before the liuing?
Aka ang lakah aka cueih taengah balae a hoeikhang? Mulhing taengah aka pongpa mangdaeng te balae a ming?
9 The sight of ye eye is better then to walke in ye lustes: this also is vanitie, and vexation of spirit.
Hinglu a van lakah tah mik kah a hmuethma he then. He khaw a honghi neh khohli doinah mai ni.
10 What is that that hath bene? the name thereof is nowe named: and it is knowen that it is man: and he cannot striue with him that is stronger then he.
Mebang khaw aka om coeng te tah a ming oepsoeh la a sui dongah hlang he amah ah ming uh coeng. Tedae amah lakah thaom neh aka khulae taengah tah laitloek ham a noeng moenih.
11 Surely there be many things that increase vanitie: and what auaileth it man?
Ol muep a lo vaengah a honghi khaw ping tih hlang hamla balae a hoeikhang?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in the life and in the nomber of the dayes of the life of his vanitie, seeing he maketh them as a shadowe? For who can shewe vnto man what shall be after him vnder the sunne?
Hingnah khohnin tarhing kah hingnah dongah a honghi neh khokhawn bangla a khum te hlang hamla metla a then khaw unim aka ming? Khomik hmuiah anih hnukla aka om te hlang taengah ulong a thui thai?
