Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it [is] great on man:
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 gives wealth, and riches, and honor, and there is no lack to his soul of all that he desires, and God does not give him power to eat of it, 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 begets one hundred, and lives many years, and is great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he has not had a grave, I have said, “Better than he [is] the untimely birth.”
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 in vanity he came in, and in darkness he goes, and in darkness his name is covered,
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 even the sun he has not seen nor known, more rest has this than that.
6 And though he had lived one thousand years twice over, yet he has not seen good; does not everyone go to the same 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 soul is not filled.
Mijousen ahinkhou apum pia anholna’n kimai jun tin, hinlah anei lhingset diu ginchat aum poi.
8 For what advantage [is] to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who 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 going of the soul. This [is] also vanity and distress 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 What [is] that which has been? Already is its name called, and it is known that it [is] man, And he is not able to contend with him who is stronger 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 For there are many things multiplying vanity; What advantage [is] to man?
Thu naha seitam chan-a ima phachomlou ahi. Ahileh hiche ho chu ipi phachom em?
12 For who knows what [is] good for a man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he makes them as a shadow? For who declares to man what is 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?
