Ecclesiastes 11
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
1Na buh te tui hman ah tueih lamtah a khohnin a cungkuem phoeiah na hmuh bitni.
2Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
2Parhih taeng neh parhet taengah khaw hamsum te pae lamtah khohmuen ah mebang yoethae a pai ham khaw na ming moenih.
3If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
3Khomai a thah atah diklai ah khonal nam tih thing te tuithim lam khaw, tlangpuei lam khaw cungku. Thing a cungku nah hmuen ah pahoi yalh.
4He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
4Khohli aka dawn loh soem pawt vetih khomai dongkah aka so loh at mahpawh.
5As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
5Khohli kah longpuei neh bungko khuikah rhuh a bae te khaw na ming pawt bangla, cungkuem aka saii Pathen kah bibi te na ming van moenih.
6In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
6Na cangti te mincang ah tuh lamtah hlaem ah khaw na kut te duem sak boeh. Heben hebang ah metla a khui he khaw na ming moenih. Te rhoi te vanat la then ngawn.
7¶ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
7Vangnah he didip pai tih khomik a hmuh te mik hamla then.
8But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
8Hlang he kum a yet a hing van atah a cungkuem dongah a kohoe saeh. Tedae hmaisuep kah khohnin te poek saeh. Aka thoeng ham boeih he a honghi la muep om pueng ni.
9¶ Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
9Na tongpang oila vaengah na kohoe sak lamtah na cacawn tue vaengah na lungbuei na voelphoeng sak mako. Na lungbuei kah khosing neh na mik kah hmuhnah dongah pongpa ngawn. Tedae te boeih ham te Pathen loh laitloeknah khuila nang n'khuen ni tila ming.
10Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
10Te dongah konoinah te na lungbuei lamloh khoe lamtah boethae khaw na pum lamloh pit laeh. Oila neh cavaa khaw a honghi mai ni.
