Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
Keiman nipi noija thil chombeh aphamo tah khat kamudoh aum in, hichu mihemte lah’a aum jing in ahi.
2 A man to whom God has given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wants nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eats it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Pathen’in mi phabep chu haona bulhingset le jabolna chule angai chatbe chan diu geijin apen, hinlah hicheho chu nopsah pina neithei manlouva koi-mi aumin ahi. Amaho chu athiuvin, chule midang hetphah loubeh mi khatnin anei le gou, thil lamdoh chu anopsahpi lheh jin ahi! Hiche hi hamsetna nat pithei leu pannabei ahibouve.
3 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
Mi khat in cha jakhat jen nei theijinte chule atehset geijin hingkhat nante. Hinlah amachun hinkhoa lungkimna neihih henlang, chule kivuina pha neita hihleh, ama dinga chu ahungpena athisa ana-hitaleh phajo ding ahi.
4 For he comes in with vanity, and departs in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
Mihem a apen chu ajehbei tobang hi ding, chule muthim lhang khal kiheh lah’a ahinkho kichai tobangbep hi ding ahije. Ama chun min kiti jong nei louva, chule nisa jong mu talouva chule nisa-umlam jong hepha lou hiding ahi tai. Hijongleh ama chun kipah loutah’a ahung seilet sanga lung olna anei joh ding ahi.
5 Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this has more rest than the other.
6 Yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet has he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
Ama chu kum sangkhat val, nivei geijin hing ding hijongleh lungkimna aneitah lou ding ahi. Chule ama chun midang khat tobanga thina atoding, hichun ipi aphat chomsah ding ham?
7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
Mijousen ahinkhou apum pia anholna’n kimai jun tin, hinlah anei lhingset diu ginchat aum poi.
8 For what has the wise more than the fool? what has the poor, that knows to walk before the living?
Hitia hi miching hohi mingolho sanga phachom jouva hilou ham? Mivaicha hon achih jeh’uva ipi phatchomna akimuva chule midang masanga iti chon ding akihet’uvem?
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
Na nei lou na ngaichat sang in, nanei chunga lunglhaijon. Thilpha thilhoi nei nomna lunggel kiti hi aphat chomna bei kidel tobang ahi.
10 That which has been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
Thil ijakai hohi kigong tupsa ngen ahiuve. Mi khat cheh hi ipi ahi ding’u tona kigong sapeh ahi tauve. Hijeh chun natonsot khankho ding chung chang thua jong Pathen nanel kallou ding ahi.
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
Thu naha seitam chan-a ima phachomlou ahi. Ahileh hiche ho chu ipi phachom em?
12 For who knows what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
I-hinlonau pannabei nikho phabep sunga hi, i-hin nikhou hi iti kimang hoi thei pen ding ham ti koiyin ahet nem? I-hinkhou hi lelim tobangbep ahi. I-che nung tenguleh hiche leisetna hi ipi ahung lhung ding koiyin aseithei jem?
