Nehemiah 7
1 Vongtung te a sak phoeiah tah thohkhaih te ka buen tih thoh tawt neh laa sa khaw, Levi khaw ka khueh.
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
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 put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
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.
I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his 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 wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not 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.
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:
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.
