< Nehemiah 6 >
1 Kamelmateu Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem kiti Arab mipale midang hon, kotpi chengse le kelkot dunga katundoh loulai vangun, Jerusalem pal chu akigen chaiyin avanglai mun khatcha aum tapoi ti amudoh phat’un;
And it comes to pass, when it has been heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our enemies, that I have built the wall, and there has not been left in it a breach (also, until that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
2 Sanballat le Geshem in Ono phaicham Hakkephirim kho ah kimutou hite tin thu eihin thot in ahi. Ahinlah amani hin keima chunga thilse agon lhon ahichu keiman kahen ahi.
that Sanballat sends, also Geshem, to me, saying, “Come and we meet together in the villages, in the Valley of Ono”; and they are thinking to do to me evil.
3 Hijeh chun keiman adonbutna in thu hiti hin kathot in ahi, “Keiman natoh lentah khat katoh ahi, hijeh hin hungthei ponge, nangni toh kimuto ding gunsetna iti kanatoh ka ngah thei ding ham?
And I send to them messengers, saying, “A great work I am doing, and I am not able to come down; why does the work cease when I let it alone, and have come down to you?”
4 Hitobang hin amanin livei jen thu eihin thot lhonin kenjong kadonbut ngai ngaiyin kadonbut in ahi.
And they send to me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.
5 Anga-vei channan Sanballat in alhachapa kakomah ahin sol in akhut’ah hondohsa lekhathot khat ahinchoiye.
And Sanballat sends to me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
6 Hiche chun hitin aseiye, “Hiche vella um nam mite lah a hin thu kithang khat akijan, Geshem in jong hichu adih ahi ati, hichu ahileh nangleh Judah tehin lengpa dounan galbol ding agon ahi, hiche jeh'a hi pal nasemphat’u ahi tithu kithang dungjuiya nanghi leng chang dinga kigong nahi,” akiti.
it is written in it, “Among the nations it has been heard, and Gashmu is saying: You and the Jews are thinking to rebel, therefore you are building the wall, and you have been to them for a king—according to these words!
7 Aman athupoh dungjuiyin nanghin Jerusalem a nangma chung chang phongdoh dingin thempu ho jong apansah e akiti, veuvin Judah gammah lengkhat aumtai; Hiche thu kithang hi lengpa kom a athu hi gale lhun teiding ahi ti nahet ding doltah ahi, hijeh chun hungin lang hiche thuhi seikhom hite.”
And also, you have appointed prophets to call for you in Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by the king according to these words; and now come, and we take counsel together.”
8 Hichun keiman thu lethuh na kapen, “Nahin thusei chu khatcha adih aumpoi, aboncha chu nangin nabol thu ngen ahibouve,” kati.
And I send to him, saying, “It has not been according to these words that you are saying, for from your own heart you are devising them”;
9 Amaho hin suh kichat a chule keiho hi lunglhah sah ding chule anatoh’u hi suhtang ding atiu ahi. Hijeh chun keiman natoh chu gut tah in kamano jon ahi.
for all of them are making us afraid, saying, “Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done”; and now, strengthen my hands.
10 Khonungin, Mehetabal tupa Delaiah chapa Shemai’ah chu a in muna aum na a kaga chen kaga kimupi in ahi, hichun aman hitin aseiye, “Eiho Pathen houin sunga kimu tou hitin kot kikha khumu hite, chule namelmaten tujan na hi nahung thadiu ahi.”
And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel—and he is restrained—and he says, “Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming to slay you—indeed, by night they are coming to slay you.”
11 Ahinla keiman kadonbut’in, “Koiham kei din muna dinga kichat jeh a jam ding ngah? Chule koiham kei dinmuna dinga ahinkho kihuhdoh na dinga houin sunga kisel ding ngah? Ahipoi hitia chu ka umlou ding ahi,” kati.
And I say, “A man such as I—does he flee? And who as I, that goes into the temple, and lives? I do not go in.”
12 Pathenin ama koma chun thu aseipoi ti kahei, aman hiche gaothu chu Tobiah leh Sanballat in achohdoh lhon na aseisah lhon ahibouve ti kahet ahi.
And I discern, and behold, God has not sent him, for in the prophecy he has spoken to me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him,
13 Amahon kichat sah a chule chonset sah ding eigot lhon ahibouve. Hiteng chuleh oimoa thepmo sah ding eigot lhon ahi.
so that he [is] a hired worker, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me.
14 Vo Ka-Pathen Tobiah leh Sanballat thilse bol ho pihi hingel doh in, chuleh keima kichatsah tei ding eigoa themgaonu Noadiah le themgao dangho jouse jonghi hingel doh in.
Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.
15 Hiti chun ‘Elul’ lha nileh som ni le nga chan ni kasah pat niuva pat ni som nga le ni ni channin pal chu kagen chai tauvin ahi.
And the wall is completed in the twenty-fifth of Elul, on the fifty-second day;
16 Kamel ma hou le avel a cheng mite hon ajahdoh phat’un akicha lheh jengun jum akisa lheh jengun ahi. Hiche hi Pathen panpina jal a atohdoh jouvu ahi ti amahon ahedoh tauvin ahi.
and it comes to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and all the nations who are all around us see, that they fall greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God has this work been done.
17 Hiche ni som nga le ni ni sung hin Tobiah leh Judah mithupi ho kikah a hin lekha thot tamtah akithot to le le jengun ahi.
Also, in those days the nobles of Judah are multiplying their letters going to Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming to them;
18 Ajeh chu Judah gam'a mitam tah in ama koma hi kihahsel a kihen ohna ananeiju ahi. Ipijeh inen itileh amahi Arab chapa Secaniah tupa ahin, chujongleh achapa Jehohanan chun Berekiah chapa Meshullam chanu chu akipuiya akichen pi ahi.
for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan has taken the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah;
19 Hijeh chun mihon keikoma ama thilpha bol jeng aseiyun; kei thusei jouse jong ama henga alhut jiuvin ahi. Chule Tobiah hin keima suh kichat teina dingin lekha eihin thot jingin ahi.
also, they have been speaking of his good deeds before me, and they have been taking my words out to him; Tobiah has sent letters to make me afraid.
