Ecclesiastes 4
1 But I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun; and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter.
Avel in, keiman nipi noija kibol hesohna jouse ka mun ahi. Keiman akibol hesohho mitlhi lon kamun, alhamon ding’u koima aum poi. Agimbol hou chun thuneina lentah anei juvin, chule amaho khutnoija umho chun ima thuneina aneipouve.
2 Wherefore I praised the dead that are already dead more than the living that are yet alive;
Hiti hin keiman kangel lhah chu, mithisa hohi mihingho sangin aphat johnau aum’e, kati.
3 but better than they both is he that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
Ahinlah apeng lou laiho ding in gam cheng in apha chom jo nalaije. Ajeh chu nipi noija thilse kibol hohi amahon amukhah louvu ahi.
4 Again, I considered all labour and all excelling in work, that it is a man's rivalry with his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Chutah in keiman kamu doh chu mi atamjo hi lolhinna ding in akitilkhou uve, ajeh chu amaho aheng le akom-u mihou jeng ahi. Hinlah hiche jong hi ajeh bei tobang aum den lou ding hija ahi.
5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
‘‘Mingol hon athasetnau khut akisip chah’u chu amahthahna ding’u ahi.’’
6 Better is a handful of quietness, than both the hands full of labour and striving after wind.
Ahijeng vang'in, “Khut khat dim thip khen cha nei ding hi khutni dimset aum den lou ding, tongimma nei sang in aphajoi.”
7 Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.
Keiman nipi noija vetsahna jat chom beh khat kavet be kit in ahi.
8 There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches: 'for whom then do I labour, and bereave my soul of pleasure?' This also is vanity, yea, it is a grievous business.
Hiche hi mikhat ama changseh’a khosapa thudol ahin, cha khat jong neilou, sopi pasal jong neilou ahia, ajo channa tong gimma neile nga khol khoma ahi. Hiti chun amale ama aki dong in, “Koi dinga tonggima ka him? Tua hi ibola keiman nopsahna donse louva kahi hitam?” ati. Hiche ho jouse hi ajeh apol beihel le lung lhahna thei tah ahibouve.
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
Mini hi mikhat sang in aphachom joi, ajeh chu amani chu kihuto thei gel hilhonna lolhing thei ding ahi lhon’e.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.
Mikhat chu alhuh’a ahi leh, khat joh chun akhut alhan doh’a akithopi thei ahi. Hinlah koiham khat chu achangin lhu taleh boimong mong ding ahi tai.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?
Hitobangma chun, mini chu alup khom lhonna ahileh aki sang lum to gel lhon thei je. Hinlah mikhat chu iti lum doh jou ding hitam?
12 And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Mikhat achanga ding chu midang in adelkhuma chule ajo paithei ahin, hijongleh mini vang chu kinung thopto lhonna chule ajothei lhon ding ahi. Thumchu pha cheh’a ahi, ajeh chu khaohol thum'a kihal lhop chu bailam tah’a kibot tanlou ding ahi.
13 Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.
Khangthah mivaicha le chingtah pachu tehse le lungngol koimahil lalou Lengpa sang in apha chom joi.
14 For out of prison he came forth to be king; although in his kingdom he was born poor.
Chutobang khangdongpa chu vaichatna a konna hung kithou dohtheija chule lolhing thei ahije. Ama chu songkulla umjong leh ama chu leng hung chang thei jong ahi nalaije.
15 I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the child, the second, that was to stand up in his stead.
Hinlah amitakip chu athalhenga pangpa, khangdong chomdangpa koma chun aga lhailut jo jiuvin ahi.
16 There was no end of all the people, even of all them whom he did lead; yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Mihonpi chu kichai tih um louvin akoma chun ahung ding khom’uvin, hinlah khang ahung kikhel phat chun ama jong chu adeimo bolkittauvin ahi. Hijeh chun hiche ho jouse hi ajeh beile phatchomna bei ahi sohkeije.
