Ecclesiastes 3
1 For everything an appointed time and an time for every matter under the heavens.
A cungkuem dongah a tuetang om tih vaan hmuikah kongaih boeih dongah khaw a tue om.
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.
Cun ham tue neh duek ham tue khaw om. Aka phung hamla phung ham tue neh haih ham tue om.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build.
Ngawn ham tue neh hoeih sak ham tue khaw om. Phae ham tue neh sak ham tue khaw om.
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance.
Rhah tue neh luem tue khaw om. Rhaengsae tue neh soipet tue khaw om.
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.
Lungto voeih tue neh lungto calui tue khaw om. Kop tue neh a kop lamloh lakhla tue khaw om.
6 A time to seek and a time to count as lost a time to keep and a time to throw away.
Tlap tue neh paltham tue khaw om. Ngaithuen tue neh voeih tue khaw om.
7 A time to tear and a time to sew a time to be silent and a time to speak.
Phen tue neh bo tue khaw om. Duem om ham tue neh thui tue khaw om.
8 A time to love and a time to hate a time of warfare and a time of peace.
Lungnah tue neh thiinah tue om. Caemtloek tue neh rhoepnah tue om.
9 What? [is] [the] profit of the worker in [that] which he [is] a laborer.
Anih thakthaekung lamloh mebang rhoeikhangnah lae a saii?
10 I have seen the task which he has given God to [the] children of humankind to be busy with it.
Anih te phaep hamla Pathen loh hlang ca rhoek soah a paek te khaw bibi la ka hmuh.
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.
A cungkuem he amah tue neh sakthen la a saii tih kumhal kah te khaw amih lungbuei ah a khueh pah. Te pawt cakhaw, a tong lamloh a bawt hil Pathen loh a saii bibi te hlang loh a hmuh moenih.
12 I know that there not [is] good for them that except to rejoice and to do good in life his.
Amah hingnah dongah kohoe ham neh a then saii ham lakah amih ham a then a om moenih.
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.
Hlang boeih he khaw ca mai saeh lamtah o mai saeh, hnothen khaw hmu mai saeh. Te te amah kah thakthaenah cungkuem khuiah Pathen kah kutdoe ni.
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.
Pathen loh a cungkuem a saii tila ka ming. Amah tah kumhal duela om. Amah soah thap ham om pawt tih anih lamkah te yueh ham khaw a om bal moenih. Te dongah a mikhmuh ah a rhih uh ham ni Pathen loh a saii.
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.
Aka om oepsoeh te khaw, aka om ham te khaw om oepsoeh coeng. Te dongah a hloem tangtae te Pathen loh a toem.
16 And again I have seen under the sun [the] place of justice [was] there wickedness and [the] place of righteousness [was] there wickedness.
Laitloeknah hmuen ah halangnah hnap om tih, duengnah hmuen ah halangnah hnap a om te khomik hmuiah koep ka hmuh.
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.
Ka lungbuei ah tah, “A kongaih boeih ham neh a bibi boeih ham khaw a tue a om coeng dongah, aka dueng neh halang khaw Pathen loh lai a tloek ni,” ka ti.
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.
Hlang ca rhoek kah dumlai dongah khaw ka lungbuei ah, “Amih te Pathen loh coelh saeh lamtah, amih bang he rhamsa ni amamih loh hmu saeh,” ka ti mai.
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.
Hlang ca rhoek kah a hmatoeng neh rhamsa kah hmatoeng khaw hmatoeng pakhat ni. Amih ham he kah dueknah bangla ke dueknah khaw om tih a cungkuem ham hil pakhat la om. Te dongah rhamsa lakah hlang kah kumkonah a om moenih. A cungkuem he a honghi ni.
20 Everything [is] going to place one everything it was from the dust and everything [is] returning to the dust.
A cungkuem he hmuen pakhat la cet. A cungkuem he laipi lamloh ha thoeng. A cungkuem he laipi la mael.
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.
Hlang ca rhoek kah mueihla tah a so la cet tih rhamsa mueihla tah diklai khuila a suntlak thuk khaw ulong a ming?
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.
Te dongah a hamsum bangla a bibi dongah hlang a kohoe lakah ah a then om pawh tila ka hmuh. A hnukah aka thoeng ham te hmuh sak hamla ulong anih a khuen thai?
