Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an euill, which I sawe vnder the sunne, and it is much among men:
Taminaw ni kapap lah a kâhmo teh, kanî rahim ka hmu e hno kathoutnaw teh;
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.
A ngai e hno pueng, hnopai hoi bawinae, barinae naw hah Cathut ni a poe eiteh, canae kâ a poe hoeh dawkvah, amamouh ni cat laipalah, kâkuen hoeh e alouke ram e taminaw ni a ca e heh, ahrawnghrang doeh, kahawihoehe hno doeh.
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.
Tami ni kum moikasawlah a hring teh, a canaw, 100 touh ka tawn nakunghai, ngainae kuep laipalah, pakawp laipalah oun dout pawiteh, hote tami hlak camo ka hrun e ahawihnawn.
4 For he commeth into vanitie and goeth into darkenesse: and his name shall be couered with darkenesse.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hrun e camo teh ayawmyin lah a kamnue teh, hmonae thung a cei. Ahnie min teh hmonae ni a ramuk han.
5 Also he hath not seene ye sunne, nor knowen it: therefore this hath more rest then the other.
Kanî hai hmawt mahoeh. Banghai panuek mahoeh. Hateiteh, hmaloe dei e tami hlak ahawihnawn.
6 And if he had liued a thousand yeeres twise tolde, and had seene no good, shall not all goe to one place?
Hmaloe dei e tami teh a kum thawnghni touh ka hring nakunghai aphu awmhoeh. A hmuen buet touh koe nahoehmaw koung a khup awh heh vaw.
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth: yet the soule is not filled.
Tami ni panki thapatho e naw pueng teh, vonpui hanelah panki thapatho awh eiteh, cangainae lung roum thai hoeh.
8 For what hath the wise man more then the foole? what hath the poore that knoweth how to walke before the liuing?
Lungkaang e tami teh ka pathu e tami hlak bangmaw hawinae kaawm. Kahring e taminaw hmalah, ka tawk e mathoe ni a coe e hawinae teh bangne.
9 The sight of ye eye is better then to walke in ye lustes: this also is vanitie, and vexation of spirit.
Mit hoi hmu e teh pouk e hlak ahawi. Hote hno teh ahrawnghrang e hno, kahlî man e hoi doeh a kâvan.
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.
Kaawm tangcoung e hnonaw, pâkuem lah ao toe. Tami teh bang patet e tami maw tie hai panue tangcoung e lah ao toung dawkvah, ama hlak tha ka sai e tami tâ thai mahoeh.
11 Surely there be many things that increase vanitie: and what auaileth it man?
Cungkeihoehnae hoe a pung dawkvah, tami teh bangmaw hawinae kaawm.
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?
Tâhlip patetlah kaloum ni teh ahrawnghrang hring nathung, tami dawk hnokahawi sak e heh apinimaw a panue thai han. Kanî rahim tami hnukkhu kaawm hane naw hai apinimaw a dei thai han.
