Ecclesiastes 9
1 I have surely giuen mine heart to all this, and to declare all this, that the iust, and the wise, and their workes are in the hand of God: and no man knoweth eyther loue or hatred of all that is before them.
Hiche jonghi keiman chingthei tah in ka khol in: Pathen ngaisah hole miching ho jong Pathen khutna uma ahiuvin, amaho hi Pathen’in ahepi ding hinauvem ti koima ahetoh’a aumpoi.
2 All things come alike to all: and the same condition is to the iust and to the wicked, to the good and to the pure, and to the polluted, and to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner, he that sweareth, as he that feareth an othe.
Mi tinin atonsot mun diu ngah jinga uma ahiuve, michonpha hihen, migilou hijong leh, mipha hihen, miphalou hijongleh, athenga kigel ho hiuhen, athenglou hijongleu, hou ngaisah hihen, hou ngaisahlou hijongleh, mipha hon jong michonse ho bangma’a Pathen’a kitepna neiho jong kitepna neilouho toh kithakhatma ahije.
3 This is euill among all that is done vnder the sunne, that there is one condition to all, and also the heart of the sonnes of men is full of euill, and madnes is in their heartes whiles they liue, and after that, they goe to the dead.
Amitakip nipi noija umho jouse chan kibanga athiltou hi lungdon umtah ahi. Hitobang hohin thilpha bolbe nadinga ching thei lou’uva ahi. Chusang in amahon angol nau joh chu aki deilhen uve, ajeh chu amaho kinepna neilou ahiuve. Amasang uva imacha dang umlou thina bou chu uma ahi.
4 Surely whosoeuer is ioyned to all ye liuing, there is hope: for it is better to a liuing dog, then to a dead lyon.
Mihing ding in kinepna bou aum’e. Ama hon asei uvin, “Uicha hing chu keipi thisa sangin aphachom joi.”
5 For the liuing knowe that they shall dye, but the dead knowe nothing at all: neither haue they any more a rewarde: for their remembrance is forgotten.
Mihngho chun athi diu beh akihet’uvin, hinlah athisa hon imacha ahe tapouve.
6 Also their loue, and their hatred, and their enuie is now perished, and they haue no more portion for euer, in all that is done vnder the sunne.
Amahon ahinkhouva ipi hijongleh abholchanu chu ki-ngailut, ki-thet, ki-mitthip abonna achemangsa ahitai. Amahon hiche leiset chunga hin bolbe ding anei tapouve.
7 Goe, eate thy bread with ioy, and drinke thy wine with a cheerefull heart: for God nowe accepteth thy workes.
Hijeh chun na-an chu kipah thanomtah in nen, chule na-lengpitwi chu lung kipah pum in don in, ajeh chu Pathen’in hichu aphatsah ahi.
8 At all times let thy garments be white, and let not oyle be lacking vpon thine head.
Von hoipen chun kivon in, chule lou namtui chu kinu-in.
9 Reioyce with the wife whom thou hast loued all the dayes of the life of thy vanitie, which God hath giuen thee vnder the sunne all the dayes of thy vanitie: for this is thy portion in the life, and in thy trauaile wherein thou labourest vnder the sunne.
Numei nangailutnu chuto nipi noija Pathen’in napeh nahinkho umpet chun kipahtah in hing khom in. Najia nanei chuto phaten hingkhom lhon in.
10 All that thine hand shall finde to doe, doe it with all thy power: for there is neither worke nor inuention, nor knowledge, nor wisedome in the graue whither thou goest. (Sheol h7585)
Nabol chan chu hoitah’in bol tan. Ajeh chu nangma lhankhuh’a na chetengleh natoh ding um talou ding, tohgon jong um talou ding, hetna jeng jong umta pontin, chihna geija bei ding ahitai. (Sheol h7585)
11 I returned, and I sawe vnder the sunne that the race is not to the swift, nor the battell to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor also riches to men of vnderstanding, neither yet fauour to men of knowledge: but time and chance commeth to them all.
Keiman nipi noija adang chom khat jong ka mudoh’e. Lhaija hat penpan jong kipaman amu jing ahipoi, chule galsatna hatpenpa jeng jong chu galjona chang jing ahipoi. Miching jong chu kelthoh’a avale jipet aum in, chule khut them hon jong lungkimna amudeh pouve. Chule lekhathem tahho jong chu lolhinna hinkho mang jinga ahipouve. Hiche ho jouse hi vang'in apohji ahin, hitia chu aphatcha amuna gatoh kha kiti ahi.
12 For neither doth man knowe his time, but as the fishes which are taken in an euill net, and as the birdes that are caught in the snare: so are the children of men snared in the euill time when it falleth vpon them suddenly.
Itobang phat hahsa hunglhung ding ahi koima asei theija aum poi. Ngalen sung’a um vacha athangkol sunga um tobang'in miho chu phulou helouvin hamset nan apha jiuve.
13 I haue also seene this wisedome vnder the sunne, and it is great vnto me.
Hichea hin chihna themkhat keima vannoi khosah dan hin eilung lut sah aume.
14 A litle citie and fewe men in it, and a great King came against it, and compassed it about, and builded fortes against it.
Khopi neocha khat asunga cheng mijong themkhat bou ahiuve, chule leng lentah khat chu asepai hotoh ahung un, khopi chu aum kimvel tauve.
15 And there was founde therein a poore and wise man, and he deliuered the citie by his wisedome: but none remembred this poore man.
Mivaicha, michingtah khat chun hiche khopi chu iti huhdoh ding ahi ahen, chule hitichun huhdoh in aumtai. Hinlah hiche jou chun koima chan akoma kipa thu aseipouve.
16 Then said I, Better is wisdome then strength: yet the wisedome of the poore is despised, and his wordes are not heard.
Hiti chun, chihna hi thahat sanga aphatjoh vang'in, miching chu avaichatleh mi nahsahmo achang e. Athuseidoh ho chu kipapi sotna koiman anei poi.
17 The wordes of the wise are more heard in quietnes, then the crye of him that ruleth among fooles.
Leng ngolpa kisen aw jahsang in michingpan olcha thu asei jah nom aum joi.
18 Better is wisedome then weapons of warre: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Galman chah hoa kivon kichei sang in chih thujah apha joi. Hinlah michonse khat chun apha tampi asuh mang thei joh ahi.
