1Pilnam boeih loh hekah he ya uh lah. Khosaknah dongkah khosa boeih loh hnatun uh.
1Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
2Hlang capa rhoek long khaw, hlang tongpa rhoek long khaw, hlanglen neh khodaeng long khaw thikat la hnatun uh.
2both low and high, rich and poor together.
3Ka ka loh cueihnah a thui vetih ka lungbuei poeknah loh a lungcuei om bitni.
3My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.
4Ka hna he taengla ka kaeng vetih, ka olkael he rhotoeng neh ka thuicaih ni.
4I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.
5Yoethaenah hnin ah ka khodil kathaesainah loh kai m'vael dae ba ham lae ka rhih eh?
5Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6A thadueng dongah pangtung uh tih a khuehtawn a yet neh thangthen uh dae,
6Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
7hlang loh a manuca te a lat khaw a lat thai moenih. A tlansum te Pathen taengah a paek thai moenih.
7none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
8A hinglu kah tlansum tah kuelka tih kumhal a toeng.
8For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
9Te koihnih a yoeyah la hing pueng sui tih hlan khaw hmuh pawt sue.
9that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
10Aka cueih rhoek long tah a duek te a hmuh. Aka ang neh kotalh khaw a milh vaengah a khuehtawn te hlang tloe ham a caehtak.
10For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11Amih kah poeknah nen tah a im te kumhal ah, a pohmuen te thawnpuei lamkah cadilcahma duela, om ni a ti uh tih tolhmuen te amih ming neh a khue uh.
11Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
12Tedae hlang he umponah khaw a rhaehrhong moenih, rhamsa banglam ni a thuidoek tih a hmata.
12But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.
13Tetl a amamih khosing tea uepnah tih amih kah olthui te a hnukbang rhoek loh a pom uh. Selah
13This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.
14Amih te saelkhui kah boiva la tael uh vetih, dueknah loh a luem puei ni. Tedae mincang ah amih te aka thuem rhoek loh a taemrhai uh ni. A muei neh a lungpang a imhmuen lamloh saelkhui la hmawn ni.
14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.
15Tedae Pathen loh ka hinglu he saelkhui kut lamkah n'lat dongah kai he n'loh bit ni. Selah
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
16Hlang pakhat loh boei tih a im kah thangpomnah loh pungtai cakhaw rhih boeh.
16Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17A duek vaengah pakhat khaw khuen mahpawh. A thangpomnah loh anih te suntlak puei mahpawh.
17for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.
18A hing vaengah a hinglu te yoethen a paek tih namah te na hoeikhang vaengah nang uem uh dae,
18Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
19A napa rhoek kah cadilcahma la cet vetih yoeyah la vangnah hmu uh mahpawh.
19he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
20Hlang he umponah neh om dae a yakming pawt atah rhamsa aka hmata rhoek bangla om.
20A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
