茶の初穂を飲むと憎まれる, 幸福は共有されることによって決して減少しない

cha no hatsuho wo nomu to nikumarer, Kōfuku wa kyōyū sa reru koto ni yotte
kesshite genshō shinai'

One shouldn’t drink a good tea by oneself, it’s better to share it with
others. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

question
grammar
Is this translated right?
Roughly yes, and the first part is actually [common saying explained
here](http://www.ocha.tv/words/ta_06/index.html) (site in Japanese). It
explains that the very first tea leaves harvested were believed to bear the
best aroma and flavor (and thus could be a blessing to be shared as you write
in the latter part).
