Ecclesiastes 3
1 For everything an appointed time and an time for every matter under the heavens.
Hmuen boih hanah atue to oh, van tlim ah sak atimhaih hmuennawk nuiah khaeh ih atue to oh boih:
2 A time to bear a child and a time to die a time to plant and a time to pluck up [what] is planted.
tapenhaih atue oh, duekhaih atue oh; patithaih atue oh, patit ih akung aphonghaih atue doeh oh,
3 A time to kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build.
humhaih atue oh, ngantuihaih atue oh; phraekhaih atue oh, sakhaih atue oh.
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance.
Qahhaih atue oh, pahnuihaih atue oh; palungsethaih atue oh, hnawhaih atue oh,
5 A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones a time to embrace and a time to be far from embracing.
thlungnawk vah phaenghaih atue oh, nawnto pakhueng lethaih atue oh; takoihaih atue oh, takoih han ayae ih atue oh,
6 A time to seek and a time to count as lost a time to keep and a time to throw away.
hakhaih atue oh, sunghaih atue oh; pakuemhaih atue oh moe, vahhaih atue oh,
7 A time to tear and a time to sew a time to be silent and a time to speak.
abuuhaih atue oh, huihhaih atue oh; anghngai duemhaih atue oh, lok apaehhaih atue oh,
8 A time to love and a time to hate a time of warfare and a time of peace.
amlunghaih atue oh, hnukmahaih atue oh; misatukhaih atue oh, angdaehhaih atue oh.
9 What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
Toksah kami mah tha pathok moe, toksakhaih atho timaw oh?
10 I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
Kaminawk mah sak hanah, Sithaw mah paek ih hmuenzit to ka hnuk boeh.
11 Everything he has made beautiful in time its also perpetuity he has put in heart their because not which not he will find humankind the work which he has done God from beginning and to end.
Hmuen boih hae Angmah ni angmah ih atue thuem ah khet kamcuk ah sak; Sithaw mah sak ih tok amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to mi mah doeh hnuk thai han ai ah, nihcae palungthin thungah boeng thai ai panoek koehhaih to a suek pae.
12 I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
Hing thung kami loe anghoe moe, kahoih hmuen sak pongah kahoih kue hmuen tidoeh om ai boeh, tiah ka panoek.
13 And also every person that he will eat and he will drink and he will see good in all toil his [is] a gift of God it.
Sithaw mah paek ih tangqum ah oh pongah ni, kami boih mah caak o thaih, naek o thaih moe, a toksakhaih atho to kanawm ah patoh o thaih.
14 I know that all that he does God it it will be for ever to it not to add and from it not to take away and God he has acted that people will fear from to before him.
Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen boih, dungzan khoek to om tih, tiah ka panoek; maeto doeh patomh thai mak ai, maeto doeh azuk ving thai mak ai; kami mah anih to khingza thai hanah, Sithaw mah to tiah sak.
15 Whatever that is [has been] already it and [that] which [is] to be already it has been and God he will seek [what] was pursued.
Vaihi ih kaom hmuen loe kaom tangcae hmuen hoiah anghmong; kaom han koi hmuen doeh kaom tangcae hmuen baktiah ni oh; kalaem tangcae hmuennawk to Sithaw mah omsak let tih.
16 And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
Ni tlim ah kaom lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah kasae sakhaih oh; toenghaih ahmuen ah sakpazaehaih to oh.
17 I said I in heart my the righteous and the wicked he will judge God for a time [is] for every matter and on every deed there.
Sithaw mah katoeng kami hoi kasae kami to lokcaek hmaek tih, tiah ka panoek; to pongah tok amsakhaih atue oh moe, toksakhaih atue doeh oh.
18 I said I in heart my on cause of [the] children of humankind to test them God and to see that they [are] animal[s] they for themselves.
Kami capanawk khosakhaih kawng pongah hae tiah ka poek; kaminawk mah angmacae hoi angmacae to kasan moinawk baktiah ni ka oh o, tiah panoek o thai hanah, Sithaw mah nihcae khaeah amtuengsak tih.
19 For [the] fate of [the] children of humankind and [the] fate of animal[s] and fate one [belongs] to them like [the] death of this so [the] death of this and breath one [belongs] to all and [the] advantage of humankind [is] more than the animal[s] not for everything [is] futility.
Kaminawk ih taham loe moinawk ih taham hoiah anghmong; to tiah kanghmong taham to ni nihnik mah zing hoi hmaek; maeto duek baktiah, kalah maeto doeh duek toeng; ue, nihnik loe anghahhaih takhi maeto ni tawnh hoi; kami loe moi pongah amek kuehaih om ai; hmuen boih loe azom pui ni.
20 Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
Hmuen boih ahmuen maeto ah ni caeh o; hmuen boih maiphu hoiah tacawt o baktih toengah, maiphu ah amlaem o boih let.
21 Who? [is] knowing [the] spirit of [the] children of humankind that is going up it upwards and [the] spirit of the animal[s] that is going down it downwards to the earth.
Toe kami ih pakhra loe ranui bangah caeh tahang moe, moi ih pakhra loe long ah caeh tathuk, tiah mi mah maw panoek?
22 And I saw that there not [is] good more than that he will be happy humankind in work his for that [is] portion his for who? will he bring him to look on whatever that will be after him.
To pongah kami loe angmah ih taham ah kaom, a sak ih tok nuiah anghoe pongah kahoih kue, tidoeh om ai boeh, tiah ka panoek; anih pacoengah timaw om vop tih, tiah panoek thai hanah, mi mah maw anih to patuek tih?
