Nehemiah 7
1 Vongtung te a sak phoeiah tah thohkhaih te ka buen tih thoh tawt neh laa sa khaw, Levi khaw ka khueh.
Then, after the wall was built, and I set up the double doors, and I enrolled the gatekeepers, and the singing men, and the Levites,
2 Te vaengah ka mana Hanani neh Hananiah te Jerusalem rhalmah im ah mangpa la ka uen. Anih tah oltak kah hlang la om tih Pathen te muep a rhih ngai.
I instructed Hanani, my brother, and Hananiah, the leader of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed to be a truthful man, fearing God more than the others, )
3 Te phoeiah amih te ka uen tih, “Khohmik a saeham hil Jerusalem vongka te ah uh boel saeh. Amamih a rhaih pai vaengah thohkhaih te khai uh saeh lamtah kalh uh saeh. Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek tah amah rhaltawt ah pakhat neh a im hmai ah pakhat te rhaltawt la pai bal saeh,” ka ti nah.
and I said to them: “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot.” And while they were standing there, the gates were closed and barred. And I stationed guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one in his turn, and each one opposite his own house.
4 Khopuei te hmatoeng lamtah sang tih len dae a khui kah pilnam tah a yol dongah im sa om pawh.
Now the city was great and very wide, and the people in its midst were few, and the houses were not yet built.
5 Ka pathen loh ka lungbuei ah a khueh dongah hlangcoelh rhoek khaw, ukkung rhoek khaw, pilnam khaw a khuui bangla ka coi. Te vaengah lamhma la aka mael rhoek kah rhuirhong cabu te ka hmuh tih a khuiah a daek tangtae la ka hmuh.
But God had given to my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the magistrates, and the common people, so that I might enroll them. And I found a book of the census of those who first went up, and in it there was found written:
6 He tah vangsawn tamna lamkah aka mael rhoek paeng ca rhoek ni. Amih te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a poelyoe dae Jerusalem la, Judah la, amah kho la rhip mael uh.
These are the sons of the province, who ascended from the captivity of the transmigration, those whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had taken away, and who returned into Jerusalem and Judea, each one to his own city.
