Ecclesiastes 5
1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
Pathen houna in na nalut tengleh, nakol sung in lang chule na kam kihup in. Geltoh louva Pathenna kilhaina sem chu pha louva ahi.
2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
Kitepna geltoh louvin mohsem sem hih in, chule Pathen angsunga thil hinlhut loi ding kino hih beh in. Pathen chu vanna uma ahin, nangma hiche leisetna hi uma na hije. Hijeh chun na thusei chom hen.
3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice [is known] by multitude of words.
Naha chaloh behset naho hin kichol dothei louna mang namat sah ding, thu na tam seival hin mingol nasosah bep ding ahi.
4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Nangman Pathenna kitepna nanei tengleh, hichu jui lhung ding khongai sot hih in, ijeh inem itileh Pathen’in mingol ho chunga lunglhai na anei poi. Ama henga na kitepna jouse chu bulhit molson.
5 Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Kitepna neija ahiala suhbulhit louva um sang in, imacha sei lou beh chu pha joa ahi.
6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
Nakam in na chonset sah hih beh hen. Nangman hou-in lhacha pa jah’a chun kitepna ka nanei chu ka seikhel ahitai tin nangle nang kihonnan sei hih in. Hichun Pathen a lunghan sah joh ding, chule aman natohdoh umsa chengse chu su-mang loget inte.
7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
Mangmat le pannabei thilbol apunbe tobang'in, thu sei doh jong abai lam in ahi. Hinlah nangman Pathen ging jon.
8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher than they.
Thanei tah khat in mivaicha chu agimbol hesoh namua chule gamsung pumpia thutahle chonphatna chu alamlouva akiheikoija ahiltah jongleh hichu datmo hih in. Ajeh chu achungnung penna thuneipa sanga chung nungjo chun agel khoh ahin, chule amaho sanga sangjo ho aum uve.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king [himself] is served by the field.
Chu kal val in, leiset hi mi jouse phatchomna ding ahi; hitia chu lengpa alouma’a kihinso ahi.
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.
Sum ngailu ho chun suma ning lhin tih anei lou diu. neile gouvin kipana dihtah apeh ding gel’a chun phatchompi ponte.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good [is there] to the owners thereof, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes?
Natamnei channa chu na suhmang huding mi tamcheh hung um ding ahi. Hijeh chun neile gou hi na khuttah’a konna aki toldoh navet tilou ipi aphat chomna nahet em?
12 The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Na tonggimho chun tamneh henlang, lhom neh jong leh a-ihmut’u anom’e. Hinlah mihao chun ih-mut nopna amu joupoi.
13 There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
Nipi noija aboitah khat kamu doh kit aum ben ahi. Neile gou kikhol khom hi aneipa ding in aphat mona aum e.
14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
Sum hi apung dinga kikhol khom jong hi hahsatna ahinle sodoh jin, chule hiche jeh hin ijakai amanlo jibep’e. Achaina tengleh achate dinga ima pehson ding nei louvin aum jitai.
15 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
Eiho jouse hi i-hungpen uva banga sagohkeu le khut gohkeuva i-hinkho’u hi hung kichai ding ahi. Nei le gou inei hou kipoh thei ihi pouve.
16 And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
Chule hiche jong hi boi-umtah ahi. Mihon hiche vannoi adalhah’uhi ahungpen sanguva aphat john a aumpoi. Atohgim nau jouse hi amang thah bep ding ahibouve.
17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
Ahinkho lhung keijuva lungkim louna, lunglhahna chule lunghanna meipi noija uma ahiuve.
18 Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion.
Hiti chu ahi vang'in, thilpha khat keiman kahin mudoh in ahi. Hichu mihem in nipi noija Pathen in apeh hinkho chomcha um sunga aneh’a, adon’a, chule anatoh chunga akipa thanop pia chule achan chunga alung lhai ding hi ahi.
19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.
Chule Pathenna konna neile gou chule damtheina anei kipapina anei dinghi thilpha ahi. Nanatoh nathanoppia chule nahinkhoa nachan chu nalung oipia ahileh hiche hi Pathen thilpeh chu ahije.
20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.
Pathen in hitobang miho hi akisah boisah lhehji jeh in, amahon achesa ho gelna phat anei man pouve.
