Nehemiah 2
1 And it came to pass, in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that, wine, was before him, —so I took up the wine, and gave unto the king, and I had never been sad before him.
Siangpahrang Artaxerxes bawi kum 20, Nisan thapa nah misurtui ka la teh, siangpahrang hah ka poe. Ha hoehnahlan teh, a hmalah ka minhmai mathout boihoeh.
2 Then said the king unto me, Wherefore is thy countenance sad, seeing that, thou, art not sick? this is nothing else, but sadness of heart. Then feared I exceedingly,
Siangpahrang ni bangkongmaw na minhmai a mathoe. Patawnae hai na tawn hoeh. Alouke bang mahoeh, na lungthung hoi lungmathoe e doeh kaawm telah na ti pouh.
3 and said unto the king—Let the, king, unto times age-abiding, live! Wherefore should my countenance, not be sad, when, the city—the place of the sepulchres of my fathers, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
Kai ni hai siangpahrang na hringsaw seh. Ka mintoenaw onae khopui a rawk teh longkhanaw hmai koung a kak navah, minhmai mathout laipalah bangtelamaw ka o thai han telah ka ti pouh.
4 Then the king said to me, Concerning what, is it, thou, wouldst make request? So I prayed unto the God of the heavens,
Siangpahrang ni bangmaw hei han na ngai telah na pacei. Hahoi, kalvan kaawm e Cathut koe ka ratoum.
5 and then said unto the king, If, unto the king, it seemeth good, and if thy servant might find favour before thee, That thou wouldst send me unto Judah, unto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I might build it.
Siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang na lungkuep boilah, na san ni minhmai kahawi kahmawt pawiteh, ka mintoenaw onae khopui bout ka pathout thai nahanelah, Judah kho ka cei thai nahanlah ka kâhei telah ka ti pouh.
6 And the king said unto me, the queen, also sitting beside him, For how long would be thy journey? and when wouldst thou return? So it seemed good before the king to send me, and I set him a time.
Siangpahrangnu hai ateng vah a tahung teh, siangpahrang ni nâyittouh maw na ro han. Nâtuek maw bout na ban han telah na pacei. Hahoi kai ni atueng ka khoe teh, siangpahrang ni lunghawicalah na cei sak.
7 Then said I unto the king, If, unto the king, it seemeth good, may, letters, be given me, unto the pashas Beyond the River, —that they may convey me over, until I come into Judah;
Hahoi siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang na lungkuep pawiteh tui namran lah kaawm e lawkcengkungnaw ka kâhmo nah Judah ram totouh ka cei thai nahanlah ca na thun pouh haw.
8 also a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the park that belongeth unto the king, that he may give me timber to build up the gates of the fortress which pertaineth to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house whereinto I shall enter. And the king gave me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Siangpahrang e ratu ka ring e Asaph koe, Bawkim longkha hoi longkha khomnaw hane, khorapan hoi ka o nahane im han lah thing na poe nahane hoi kâpoenae ca hai na poe nahanelah ka hei e patetlah, Cathut pahren lahoi Siangpahrang ni kai koe na poe.
9 Then came I unto the pashas Beyond the River, and gave them the letters of the king, —now the king, had sent with me, captains of the army, and horsemen.
Hahoi tui namran lah kaawm e khobawinaw koe ka pha teh siangpahrang koe e ca hah ka poe. Hahoi siangpahrang ni kai koevah ransabawi hoi marangransanaw hah a tha.
10 And, when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, heard of it, it vexed them, with a great vexation, —that there had come a man, to seek welfare, for the sons of Israel.
Isarel miphunnaw hanlah hnokahawi ka sak hane tami buet touh a tho tie Horon tami Sanballat hoi Ammon tami san lah kaawm e Tobiahnaw ni a thai awh navah puenghoi a lungkhuek awh.
11 So I entered Jerusalem, —and was there three days.
Hahoi Jerusalem vah ka pha teh hnin thum touh hawvah ka o.
12 Then rose I by night, I, and a few men with me, I having told no man, what, my God, had been putting in my heart, to do for Jerusalem, —and, beast, was there none with me, save the beast on which, I myself, was riding.
Tangmin vah ka thaw teh kama koe ka hrawi e tami tangawn hoi Jerusalem hanelah Cathut ni ka lungthin dawk na poe e hah alouke tami api koehai ka dei pouh hoeh. Ka kâcuie marang hloilah saring alouke banghai ka sin hoeh.
13 So I went forth through the valley-gate by night, even unto the front of the snake-fountain, and into the dung-gate, —and I viewed the walls of Jerusalem, how, they, were broken down, and, the gates thereof, consumed with fire.
Hat hnin tangmin vah, ayawn longkha koehoi ka tâco teh khorui longkha hoi vaipuen longkha koe lah ka cei. Jerusalem rapan ka rawk e hoi longkha ka kang e naw hah ka khet.
14 Then passed I over unto the fountain-gate, and unto the pool of the king, —but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
Tuikhu longkha koehoi siangpahrang tuiim totouh ka cei hatei, ka kâcuie marang a cei nahan lamthung awmhoeh.
15 Then went I up in the torrent-bed, by night, and viewed the wall, —and turned back, and entered by the valley-gate, and so returned.
Hahoi tangmin vah palang kahrawng teh rapannaw ka khet. Hahoi bout ka ban teh ayawn longkha dawk hoi bout ka kâen.
16 Now, the deputies, knew not whither I had gone, nor what I was doing, —not even to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the deputies, nor to the rest who were doing the work, had I as yet told it.
Ka lawkcengkungnaw ni nâmaw ka cei tie hoi bangmaw ka sak tie panuek awh hoeh. Judahnaw, vaihmabawinaw, lawkcengkungnaw, hoi alouke thaw katawkkungnaw koe banghai ka dei pouh hoeh rah.
17 So I said unto them, Ye, can see the misfortune that, we, are in, how that, Jerusalem, lieth waste, and, the gates thereof, are burned with fire: Come, and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may remain, no longer, a reproach.
Hahoi teh ahnimouh koevah maimouh ni khang e roedengnae Jerusalem a rawk e, kho longkha hmai kakangnaw hai na hmu awh toe tho awh haw pathoenae dawk hoi hlout nahanelah Jerusalem khopui teh bout sak lei sei telah ka dei pouh.
18 Then told I them, of the hand of my God, that, it, had been good upon me, as also of the words of the king, which he had spoken unto me, —so they said, We will arise and build! and they strengthened their hands right well.
Hahoi lathueng Cathut ahawinae hoi siangpahrang ni ca a thut e naw hah ka dei pouh teh, ahnimouh ni thâw awh vaiteh sak awh leih sei telah ati awh. Hahoi teh hote thaw kahawi tawk hanelah a kuttha ao sak awh.
19 But, when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed at us, and poured contempt upon us, —and said, What is this thing which ye would do? against the king, would ye rebel?
Hatnavah, Horon tami Sanballat san lah kaawm e Ammon miphun Tobiah, Arab tami Geshem tinaw ni a thai awh toteh na panuikhai awh teh na hnephnap awh. Hno na sak e naw heh bangmaw. Siangpahrang na taran awh e doeh khe telah na ti pouh awh.
20 Then answered I them, and said to them—The God of the heavens—he, will prosper us, therefore, we his servants, will arise and build, —But, to you, pertaineth no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
Hatnavah ahnimae lawk teh ka pathung; kalvan e Cathut ni kaimouh hanelah a kuep sak han. Hatdawkvah, Cathut e san lah kaawm e kaimouh ni ka thaw awh vaiteh ka sak awh han. Hatei, nangmouh teh Jerusalem e coe hane thoseh, kâtawn hane hai thoseh, pâkuem hane hai thoseh na tawn awh hoeh telah ka ti pouh.
