1 Hiche phat laitah chun Haggai themgao le Iddo chapa Zechariah themgaovin Jerusalem leh Judah gam sunga Judate lah a gaothu ana sei lhonin ahi. Amanin achung'uva vaihom’ah Israel Pathen min in gaothu anasei lhonin ahi.

Then Haggai a Prophet and Zechariah the sonne of Iddo a Prophet prophecied vnto the Iewes that were in Iudah, and Ierusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, euen vnto them.

2 Shealtiel chapa Zerubbabel leh Jehozadak chapa Jeshua in amani thusei ajahdoh lhon phat’in Jerusalam houin sahphatna natoh apan lhontan ahileh hiche themgao teni jong chun akithopi lhonin ahi.

Then Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak arose, and began to builde the house of God at Ierusalem, and with them were the Prophetes of God, which helped them.

3 Ahin Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaiya gamvai popa Tettanai leh Shethar-bozenai chuleh atoh khompi hocheng chu gangtah in Jerusalem ah ahung’un ajah uva, “Hitiahi houin sahphatna dinga koipen in thu napeh uva, amun jonghi koi thusah a nagon toh uham?” hiti chun thudoh ana neijun ahi

At the same time came to them Tatnai, which was captaine beyonde the Riuer, and Shether-boznai and their companions, and sayd thus vnto them, Who hath giuen you commandement to buylde this house, and to lay the foundations of these walles?

4 Hiche houin sahna-a kimangchaho chu koikoi ham tin amin u jong adongin ahi.

Then sayde we vnto them after this maner, What are the names of the men that buylde this buylding?

5 Ahivangin amaho chu a Pathen un avetsui jing jengu ahiyeh in, hiche thudol Darius lengpa henga akiseipeh a chutengleh aman athu umchan dingdol ahinle thot kit tokah in ahouin sah natoh uchu ana ngadeh pouvin ahi.

But the eye of their God was vpon the Elders of the Iewes, that they coulde not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they answered by letters thereunto.

6 Tattenai gamvaipo pa leh Setharbozenai chuleh Euphrates lhumlam gamkaija vaihom a pang jousen Darius lengpa chu hiti hin lekha ana thot un ahi:

The copie of the letter, that Tatnai captaine beyond the Riuer, and Shether-boznai and his companions, Apharsechaie, (which were beyond the Riuer) sent vnto King Darius.

7 “Darius lengpa kajanao salam kahin peuve:

They sent a letter vnto him, wherein it was written thus, VNTO DARIVS the king, all peace.

8 Lengpa nangman nahet tei dia kadei u chu ahile, Judah gamsunga kaga khol’un, loupitah a Pathen houin asahnao mun kagaphah uva thil umdan kamu houhi nahet teiding ngai kasaove. Hiche kisahphat ah in song phatah a kikheng ho akimangin, apaljong thing apum kikehso ho in akigen pantan ahi. Hiche anatoh uhi ahapan jeh un amachal lheh jengun ahi.

Be it knowen vnto the King, that we went into the prouince of Iudea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and beames are layde in the walles, and this worke is wrought speedily, and prospereth in their hands.

9 Keihon alamkai hojah a hiche houin hi sahphat nading leh amun gontoh nading’a hi koipen in phalna napeh uham tin kadongun ahi.

Then asked we those Elders, and sayd vnto them thus, Who hath giuen you commandement to buylde this house, and to lay the foundation of these walles?

10 Chuleh alamkai hou minjong kahin hetsah theina diuvin kadongun ahi.

We asked their names also, that we might certifie thee, and that we might write the names of the men that were their rulers.

11 Amahon hitihin eidinbut un ahi, “Keihohi lei leh van Pathen lhachate kahiuve, chuleh kum tamtah masanga Israel leng lentah khat’in anasahdohsa houin chu keihon asha phat kit u ahi,” atiuve.

But they answered vs thus, and sayd, We are the seruants of the God of heauen and earth, and buylde the house that was buylt of olde and many yeeres ago, which a great King of Israel builded, and founded it.

12 Ahinlah kapu kapa teuvin van Pathen chu ana sulunghang’un ahileh aman Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzer khutna ana pehdoh uva, aman houin chu asuhset’a amaho chu Babylon a sohchang ding in anakoijin ahi.

But after that our fathers had prouoked the God of heauen vnto wrath, he gaue them ouer into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel the Caldean, and he destroyed this house, and caryed the people away captiue vnto Babel.

13 Ahivangin, Babylon lengpa Cyrus in ama leng chanjou kumkhat sungin hiche Pathen houin hi sahphatna dingin thupeh ana neiyin ahi.

But in the first yere of Cyrus King of Babel, King Cyrus made a decree to buylde this house of God.

14 Nebuchadnezzer in Jerusalem a Pathen houin sung’a kona ana lahdoh, sana leh dangka khon, Babylon houin a anakoi hojong chu anale lahdoh in ahi. Hiche khon ana la doh hochu, Cyrus lengpan Judah gam vaipoa ana nganse Sheshbazzar khut’ah ana pelut in ahi.

And the vessels of golde and siluer of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar tooke out of the Temple, that was in Ierusalem, and brought them into the Temple of Babel, those did Cyrus the king take out of the Temple of Babel, and they gaue them vnto one Sheshbazzar by his name, whome he had made captaine.

15 Lengpan chun hiche khon hochu Jerusalem a alethah lut kit ding le Pathen houin chu amun mama a chu sahphat kit dingin thu anape in ahi.

And he sayde vnto him, Take these vessels and goe thy way, and put them in the Temple that is in Ierusalem, and let the house of God be buylt in his place.

16 Hijeh chun Sheshbazzar chu ahung in Jerusalem ah Pathen houin munchu ahung semtoh tan ahi. Hichea pat achu amipiten ana atoh pat’ u ahitan ahinla anajolou laiyu ahi.

Then came the same Sheshbazzar and layde the foundation of the house of God, which is in Ierusalem, and since that time euen vntill nowe, hath it bene in buylding, yet is it not finished.

17 Hijeh chun lengpa lunglam ahiding leh, Jerusalem a Pathen Houin chu sahphatna dinga thupeh umham um louham ti Babylon lengte thusimbu chu kikholchil leh tia ka-nga u ahi. Chujoutengle lengpan hiche thudolla nalunggel chu neihin hetsah diuva kahin ngeh u ahi,” atiuve.

Nowe therefore if it please the King, let there be searche made in the house of the Kings treasures, which is there in Babel, whether a decree hath bene made by King Cyrus, to build this house of God in Ierusalem, and let the King send his minde concerning this.
