1 Nangman na muchi chu twipi gallam geijin thotdoh in, chule aphatcha a-pungdoh chu nahenga hung le lhun kit ding ahi.
Cast thy bread vpon the waters: for after many daies thou shalt finde it.
2 Hinlah nangman na sumkhol ho chu mun tampia homjal in, ajeh chu ipi hahsatna in ahinphah ding nangin nahepoi.
Giue a portion to seuen, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what euill shalbe vpon ye earth.
3 Meibol kitol atam tengleh, go ahung julha jin ahi. Thingphung chu sahlam hihen lhanglam hijongleh alhuhna’a chun aum den jeng’e.
If the clouds be full, they wil powre forth raine vpon the earth: and if the tree doe fall toward the South, or toward the North, in the place that the tree falleth, there it shalbe.
4 Loubol mi chun gophat pet anga leh chang phutdoh ponte. Meibol kitol avetsui jing uleh, itih in jong chang at pouvinte.
He that obserueth ye winde, shall not sow, and he that regardeth the cloudes, shall not reape.
5 Nangman huinun na chu alampi na hetdoh theilou tobang'in, ahilouleh naocha anu oisunga kijil chu iti hungkhan let ham ti na het thei lou tobang'in, nangman hiche ho jouse hinbol’a Pathen chaloh dan nahet thei lou ding ahi.
As thou knowest not which is ye way of the spirit, nor how the bones doe growe in the wombe of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the worke of God that worketh all.
6 Jingkah tengleh na muchi kitun lang, ni lhangkai jongleh gunchun ponpan in, ijeh inem itileh hoipenna chu apung ding pen chu hung sohdoh ding ham ti nangman nahe poi.
In the morning sowe thy seede, and in the euening let not thine hand rest: for thou knowest not whither shall prosper, this or that, or whether both shalbe a like good.
7 Vah hi anom’e! Khovah thah hunglhun vet hi iti lunglhai um hitam?
Surely the light is a pleasant thing: and it is a good thing to the eyes to see the sunne.
8 Mi chu ateh geija ahinna ahileh, anitin hinkhoa kipah hen. Chujongleh hinkhoa gimna nikho jong tampi hunglhung ding ahiti jong geldoh uhen. Thil ahung lhungbe dingho hi ajeh bei tobangbep hung hi theija ahi.
Though a man liue many yeeres, and in them all he reioyce, yet hee shall remember the daies of darkenesse, because they are manie, all that commeth is vanitie.
9 Khangdong ho, khandonlai hi iti kidan hitam! Kipana tothon nalunggil in kihilna nei jing in, na bolnom chan bol lin; nalunggot nalam jousea chelen, chule namit tenin avetthei chan vehen. Ahinlah nathilbol chan chu Pathen henga namopohna hiding ahi, ti geldoh in.
Reioyce, O yong man, in thy youth, and let thine heart cheere thee in the dayes of thy youth: and walke in the waies of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but knowe that for all these things, God wil bring thee to iudgement.
10 Hijeh chun lungkhamna kiti bol hih in, chule natahsa damtheina din kichin tup in; chule hiche hi geldoh jing in, khandonlai na masanga na hinkho umsun hi ajehbei tobangbep ahibouve.
Therefore take away griefe out of thine heart, and cause euil to depart from thy flesh: for childehood and youth are vanitie.
