Nehemiah 2
1 Artexerxes vaihom na kum somni lhin Nisan lhasungin, lengpa koma a adon ding ju kadoplut peh in ahi. Keiman akoma khat vei cha lungkham mel kana put khahlou hel anahi.
Nowe in the moneth Nisan in the twentieth yere of king Artahshashte, the wine stoode before him, and I tooke vp the wine, and gaue it vnto the King. nowe I was not before time sad in his presence.
2 Hijeh chun lengpan eina dongin, “Ipi dinga hibangtah a hi lungkham a nahim? Adammo dan la nahi pon, lungkham na khohtah khat vang nanei hinte eiti; hichun keima kati ajalheh jengin ahi.
And the king said vnto me, Why is thy coutenance sad, seeing thou art not sicke? this is nothing, but sorow of heart. Then was I sore afrayd,
3 Ahinlah keiman kadonbut’in, “Lengpa hingsot’in! Keima iti kalungkham da ding ham? Kapu kapate ana kivuina khopi chu amangthah tan, chuleh akulpi kelkot hojong meiyin akalha gamtai,” kati.
And I said to the King, God saue the King for euer: why should not my countenance be sad, when the citie and house of the sepulchres of my fathers lieth waste, and the gates thereof are deuoured with fire?
4 Hichun lengpan eidongin’ “Aphai; chuti chu ahileh ipi lampen a kaki thopi thei ding ham?” eiti; hichun keima van Pathen koma kataovin;
And the King said vnto me, For what thing doest thou require? Then I prayed to the God of heauen,
5 Hitin kadonbut tai, “Lengpa nasohpa keima chunga khoto na naneiya nalunglhaina ahi dingle Judah gam'a neisol’in lang kapu kapate kivuina khopi chu gasa phange” kati.
And sayde vnto the King, If it please the King, and if thy seruant haue found fauour in thy sight, I desire that thou wouldest send me to Iudah vnto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I may buyld it.
6 Hiche pet’a chu lengnu toh toukhom lhon ahin, lengpan phat itih chan naga sulut dem? itih donleh nahung kile thei dem?” eiti, Keiman phat itih chan kaga suh lut ding ham ti kahetsah jou chun aman eiphat sah peh tai.
And the King sayd vnto me, (the Queene also sitting by him) How long shall thy iourney be? and when wilt thou come againe? So it pleased the King, and he sent me, and I set him a time.
7 Lengpa koma chun keiman kaseibe kitin, “Lengpa nalung alhai dinga ahile, Eupharates vadung gal lhanglam gamkaiya gam vaipo ho koma lekha eijih peh in lang Judah gam kajot na a agamsungu boilouhel a kajot galkai theina dingin thupeh neithot peh in,” kati.
After I saide vnto the King, If it please the King, let them giue mee letters to the captaines beyond the Riuer, that they may conuay me ouer, till I come into Iudah,
8 “Chule lengpa thing gampo pa Asaph koma lekha neijih peh in lang, Houin kulpi khopi kulbang sah na dingle keima chen na ding in sahna a Kaman chah ding thing eipeh thei na dingin thupeh neithot peh in,” kati. Hichun Pathenin kachunga khotona anei jal'in lengpan kathum jouse eiphal pehin ahi.
And letters vnto Asaph the keeper of the Kings parke, that hee may giue me timber to buylde the gates of the palace (which apperteined to the house) and for the walles of the citie, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the King gaue me according to the good hand of my God vpon me.
9 Eupharates vadung lhumlam gamkaiya gamvaipo ho kom kalhun phat in lengpa lekha jih ho chu kape lutin ahi. Gahseibe ding chun lengpan sakol sepai hole vaipo ho keima eiveng dingin eihin solpeh in ahi.
Then came I to the captaines beyonde the Riuer, and gaue them the Kings letters. And the King had sent captaines of the armie and horsemen with me.
10 Ahin Horon mi Samballat leh Ammon mi Tobiah leng lhacha a pang teni hin kavai lhun ahetdoh lhon phatin Israel chate panpi ding mikhat ahungtai tin alung nom mo lheh jeng lhonin ahi.
But Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah a seruant an Ammonite heard it, and it grieued them sore, that there was come a man which sought the wealth of the children of Israel.
11 Hiti hin nithum jouvin Jerusalem kaga lhung tai.
So I came to Ierusalem, and was there three dayes.
12 Jankhangin aguh in kathoudoh in mi phabep toh kahin, Pathenin Jerusalem a eitoh sah nom ho chu koima cha kasei peh pon ahi. Katouna sa-ngan tailou gancha dang khat cha kapui pouvin ahi.
And I rose in the night, I, and a fewe men with me: for I told no man, what God had put in mine heart to do at Ierusalem, and there was not a beast with me, saue the beast whereon I rode.
13 Hiti chun jan khang kim in kapot doh’un phaicham kelkot langa kacheuvin, Sial twikul chu kaho pauvin, ehbohna kelkot geiyin kacheuvin akivo chimsa pal hole akihal lha kakhol toh soh keiyun ahi.
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, and came before the dragon well, and to the dung porte, and vewed the walles of Ierusalem, howe they were broken downe, and the portes thereof deuoured with the fire.
14 Chujouvin, twisam putna kelkot le lengpa twikul geiyin kacheuvin ahileh katounau sa-ngan chu songchip ho lah a chun athol tapoi.
Then I went foorth vnto the gate of the fountaine, and to the Kings fishpoole, and there was no rowme for the beast that was vnder me to passe.
15 Hiti chun jan khanglai chun Kidron phaicham geiyin kachen, palchu kahin kholpeh in, chujouvin kahung kilen phaicham kelkot langa kahung lut tai.
Then went I vp in ye night by the brooke, and viewed the wall, and turned backe, and comming backe, I entred by the gate of the valley and returned.
16 Hiti chun khopi vaihom hon itih a kapot doh a ipi kaga bol ham ti ahepouve; ajeh chu keiman katoh gon chu koima cha kana hetsah pon ahi. Judah lamkai hole thempu ho, chule mithupi hole vaihom ho ahilou leh vaihom na muna umho khat cha kana hetsahpon ahi.
And the rulers knewe not whither I was gone, nor what I did, neither did I as yet tell it vnto the Iewes, nor to the Priestes, nor to the noble men, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that laboured in the worke.
17 Tun vang keiman amaho chu kahet sah tan ahi, “Itobang hahsat na itou hitam Jerusalem hi khopigem ahitan, akelkot ho jousela maiyin akavam soh tai tihi nanghon nahe soh kei’uve; tun eihon Jerusalem kulpi pal hi sapha kitnu hitin ijum nao hi subei tao hite,” katin ahi.
Afterward I said vnto them, Ye see the miserie that we are in, how Ierusalem lyeth waste, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire: come and let vs buylde the wall of Ierusalem, that we be no more a reproche.
18 Hiche jou chun keiman itibang Pathen kaihoi kachan ham chuleh lengpa toh iti kahung kihou lim lhon ham ti kasei peh tan ahi.
Then I tolde them of the hande of my God, (which was good ouer me) and also of the Kings wordes that he had spoken vnto me. And they sayd, Let vs rise, and buyld. So they strengthened their hand to good.
19 Ahin lah Samballat, Tobiah le Arab mi Geshem te hon katoh gon’u chu ahet doh phat’un noise tah in eina houvun ahi. “Ipi nabol’u ham? Lengpa douna a na natoh u ham?” tin eidongun ahi.
But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the seruant an Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian heard it, they mocked vs and despised vs, and said, What a thing is this that ye doe? Will ye rebell against the King?
20 Hichun keiman kadonbut’in, “Van Pathenin eipan hu’uva eitoh chai sah diu ahi. chule keiho ama lhachaten khopi pal hi kasah phat diu ahi; amavang nanghon hiche ahin chan anei pouve, thanei na jong nanei pouve, Jerusalem khopi ahin nachan diu goujong nanei pouvin ahi,” kati.
Then answered I them, and sayd to them, The God of heauen, he will prosper vs, and we his seruants will rise vp and buylde: but as for you, ye haue no portion nor right, nor memoriall in Ierusalem.
