Ecclesiastes 4
1 And I have turned, and I see all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and lo, the tear of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and at the hand of their oppressors [is] power, and they have no comforter.
Avel in, keiman nipi noija kibol hesohna jouse ka mun ahi. Keiman akibol hesohho mitlhi lon kamun, alhamon ding’u koima aum poi. Agimbol hou chun thuneina lentah anei juvin, chule amaho khutnoija umho chun ima thuneina aneipouve.
2 And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive.
Hiti hin keiman kangel lhah chu, mithisa hohi mihingho sangin aphat johnau aum’e, kati.
3 And better than both of them [is] he who hath not yet been, in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done under the sun.
Ahinlah apeng lou laiho ding in gam cheng in apha chom jo nalaije. Ajeh chu nipi noija thilse kibol hohi amahon amukhah louvu ahi.
4 And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
Chutah in keiman kamu doh chu mi atamjo hi lolhinna ding in akitilkhou uve, ajeh chu amaho aheng le akom-u mihou jeng ahi. Hinlah hiche jong hi ajeh bei tobang aum den lou ding hija ahi.
5 The fool is clasping his hands, and eating his own flesh:
‘‘Mingol hon athasetnau khut akisip chah’u chu amahthahna ding’u ahi.’’
6 'Better [is] a handful [with] quietness, than two handfuls [with] labour and vexation of spirit.'
Ahijeng vang'in, “Khut khat dim thip khen cha nei ding hi khutni dimset aum den lou ding, tongimma nei sang in aphajoi.”
7 And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun:
Keiman nipi noija vetsahna jat chom beh khat kavet be kit in ahi.
8 There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], 'For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.
Hiche hi mikhat ama changseh’a khosapa thudol ahin, cha khat jong neilou, sopi pasal jong neilou ahia, ajo channa tong gimma neile nga khol khoma ahi. Hiti chun amale ama aki dong in, “Koi dinga tonggima ka him? Tua hi ibola keiman nopsahna donse louva kahi hitam?” ati. Hiche ho jouse hi ajeh apol beihel le lung lhahna thei tah ahibouve.
9 The two [are] better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour.
Mini hi mikhat sang in aphachom joi, ajeh chu amani chu kihuto thei gel hilhonna lolhing thei ding ahi lhon’e.
10 For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but woe to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up!
Mikhat chu alhuh’a ahi leh, khat joh chun akhut alhan doh’a akithopi thei ahi. Hinlah koiham khat chu achangin lhu taleh boimong mong ding ahi tai.
11 Also, if two lie down, then they have heat, but how hath one heat?
Hitobangma chun, mini chu alup khom lhonna ahileh aki sang lum to gel lhon thei je. Hinlah mikhat chu iti lum doh jou ding hitam?
12 And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken.
Mikhat achanga ding chu midang in adelkhuma chule ajo paithei ahin, hijongleh mini vang chu kinung thopto lhonna chule ajothei lhon ding ahi. Thumchu pha cheh’a ahi, ajeh chu khaohol thum'a kihal lhop chu bailam tah’a kibot tanlou ding ahi.
13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who hath not known to be warned any more.
Khangthah mivaicha le chingtah pachu tehse le lungngol koimahil lalou Lengpa sang in apha chom joi.
14 For from a house of prisoners he hath come out to reign, for even in his own kingdom he hath been poor.
Chutobang khangdongpa chu vaichatna a konna hung kithou dohtheija chule lolhing thei ahije. Ama chu songkulla umjong leh ama chu leng hung chang thei jong ahi nalaije.
15 I have seen all the living, who are walking under the sun, with the second youth who doth stand in his place;
Hinlah amitakip chu athalhenga pangpa, khangdong chomdangpa koma chun aga lhailut jo jiuvin ahi.
16 there is no end to all the people, to all who were before them; also, the latter rejoice not in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Mihonpi chu kichai tih um louvin akoma chun ahung ding khom’uvin, hinlah khang ahung kikhel phat chun ama jong chu adeimo bolkittauvin ahi. Hijeh chun hiche ho jouse hi ajeh beile phatchomna bei ahi sohkeije.
