Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Khomik hmuiah ka hmuh he boethae la om tih te te hlang soah yet coeng.
1There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and that frequent among men:
2Pathen loh hlang te a taengah khuehtawn, koeva, neh thangpomnah a paek. Te dongah a ngaidam boeih khui lamloh a hinglu te talh pawh. Tedae te te a caak hamla Pathen loh anih a taemrhai sak moenih. Te te kholong hlang a cah he a honghi neh tloh thae ni.
2A man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and honour, and his soul wanteth nothing of all that he desireth: yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a stranger shall eat it up. This is vanity and a great misery.
3Hlang long he yakhat a sak tih kum a yet a hing mai khaming, a kum khohnin khaw muep lo mai khaming. Tedae a hinglu loh hnothen te cung pawt tih phuel ah khaw amah taengah a om pah moenih. Anih lakah aka rhumpu te then lah ka ti.
3If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he.
4Anih te a honghi la ha thoeng tih a hmuep ah a caeh dongah a ming khaw a hmuep ah a vuei pah.
4For he came in vain, and goeth to darkness, and his name shall be wholly forgotten.
5Khomik hmu pawt mai cakhaw mongnah he tah a tloe loh anih lakah a ming moenih.
5He hath not seen the sun, nor known the distance of good and evil:
6Kum thawngkhat a rhaep la hing sitoe cakhaw hnothen a hmuh hae moenih. Hmuen pakhat la boeih a caeh moenih a?
6Although he lived two thousand years, and hath not enjoyed good things: do not all make haste to one place?
7Hlang kah thakthaenah boeih he a ka ham ni. Tedae a hinglu khaw a cung tlaih moenih.
7All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled.
8Aka ang lakah aka cueih taengah balae a hoeikhang? Mulhing taengah aka pongpa mangdaeng te balae a ming?
8What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life?
9Hinglu a van lakah tah mik kah a hmuethma he then. He khaw a honghi neh khohli doinah mai ni.
9Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit.
10Mebang khaw aka om coeng te tah a ming oepsoeh la a sui dongah hlang he amah ah ming uh coeng. Tedae amah lakah thaom neh aka khulae taengah tah laitloek ham a noeng moenih.
10He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself.
11Ol muep a lo vaengah a honghi khaw ping tih hlang hamla balae a hoeikhang?
11There are many words that have much vanity in disputing.
12Hingnah khohnin tarhing kah hingnah dongah a honghi neh khokhawn bangla a khum te hlang hamla metla a then khaw unim aka ming? Khomik hmuiah anih hnukla aka om te hlang taengah ulong a thui thai?
