Ecclesiastes 6
1 I have seen something [else here] on this earth that troubles people.
Keiman nipi noija thil chombeh aphamo tah khat kamudoh aum in, hichu mihemte lah’a aum jing in ahi.
2 God enables some people to get a lot of money and possessions and to be honored; they have everything [LIT] that they want. But God [sometimes] does not allow them to continue to enjoy those things. Someone else gets them and enjoys them. That seems senseless and unfair.
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 Someone might have 100 children and live for many years. But if he is not able to enjoy the things that he has acquired, and if he is not buried [properly after he dies], [I say that] a child that is dead when it is born is more fortunate.
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 That dead baby’s birth is meaningless; it does not even have a name. It goes directly to the place where there is only darkness.
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 It does not [live to] see the sun or know anything. But it finds more rest than rich people do [who are alive].
6 Even if people could live for 2,000 years, if they do not enjoy the things that God gives to them, [it would have been better for them never to have been born]. [All people who live a long time] certainly [RHQ] all go to the same place— [to the grave].
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 People work hard to [earn enough money to buy] food to eat [MTY], but [often] they never get enough to eat.
Mijousen ahinkhou apum pia anholna’n kimai jun tin, hinlah anei lhingset diu ginchat aum poi.
8 So it seems that [RHQ] wise people do not receive more lasting benefits than foolish people do. And it seems that [RHQ] poor people do not benefit from knowing how to conduct their lives.
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 It is better to enjoy the things that we already have [MTY] than to constantly want more things; continually wanting more things is [senseless], [like] the wind.
Na nei lou na ngaichat sang in, nanei chunga lunglhaijon. Thilpha thilhoi nei nomna lunggel kiti hi aphat chomna bei kidel tobang ahi.
10 All the things that exist [on the earth] have been given names. And everyone knows what people are like, [so] it is useless to argue with someone (OR, with God) who is stronger than we are.
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 The more [that we] talk, the more [often we say things that are] senseless, so it certainly does not [RHQ] benefit us to talk a lot.
Thu naha seitam chan-a ima phachomlou ahi. Ahileh hiche ho chu ipi phachom em?
12 We live for only a short time; we disappear like [SIM] a shadow disappears [in the sunlight]. No one [RHQ] knows what is best for us while we are alive, and no one [RHQ] knows what will happen to us after we die [EUP].
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?
