Ecclesiastes 5
1 Look well to thy feet, when thou goest to the house of God, and draw nigh to hear, rather than to offer sacrifice as 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 hasty with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be swift 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 with much bustle, and a fool's voice with a 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 to God, delay 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 shouldst not vow than that thou shouldst 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 bring punishment on thy flesh, and say not before the angel, “It was a mistake.” Wherefore should God be angry on account of thy voice, and destroy the work of thy 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 a multitude of dreams is a multitude of vanities; so also in a multitude of words; 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 oppression of the poor, and justice and equity perverted in a province, be not alarmed at the matter. For over the high there is a higher, who watcheth, and there is one higher than they all.
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 An advantage to a land in all respects is a king over cultivated ground.
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; and he that loveth riches shall have no profit from them. This also is 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 advantage hath the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his 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 Sweet is the sleep of a laboring man, whether he have eaten little or much; but the repletion 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, — riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt.
Nipi noija aboitah khat kamu doh kit aum ben ahi. Neile gou kikhol khom hi aneipa ding in aphat mona aum e.
14 For those riches perish by some calamity, and, if he have a son, 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 from his mother's womb naked, so shall he go away again, as he came, and shall take away nothing of his labor which he may carry 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 This is also a sore evil, that, in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit is there to him who toileth for 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 Also all his days he ate in darkness, and had much grief and anxiety and vexation.
Ahinkho lhung keijuva lungkim louna, lunglhahna chule lunghanna meipi noija uma ahiuve.
18 Behold, what I have seen is, that it is good and proper for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor which 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 To whatever man also God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him to enjoy them, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; 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 will not much remember the days of his life; for God answereth him with the joy of his heart.
Pathen in hitobang miho hi akisah boisah lhehji jeh in, amahon achesa ho gelna phat anei man pouve.
