Nehemiah 7
1 Pal kaget chai phat’un keiman kotpi ho chu katungdoh in chule kelkot ngah ho le lasathem ho chule Levi ho chu atoh mun che’uva kapansah in ahi.
Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
2 Keiman Jerusalem khopi sunga vaihom dingin kasopipa Hanani kapansah in, Hananiah chu khopi kulpi vaipon kapansah in ahi; ajeh chu amahi tahsan umtah le midang sanga Pathen jana neitah mi ahi.
I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
3 Chule amaho koma chun keiman kaseiyin, “Nikhat sungin ni ahasat laisen kelkot chu honsan koi hih un, chuleh kelkot ngah hochun kot anga lai sung seuvin khah’unlang kotchu kamchah un. Chule Jerusalema cheng ho chu kot ngah dingin pan mun peuvin, chule phattin in nga sah jouvin, chule loikhat chu apan mun’uva umden’u hen lang loikhat chu ama cheh inmaiya ngasah un,” katin ahi.
I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
4 Hichepet chun khopi chu alen in akijal in ahi, ahinla asunga cheng mite chu alhomin ahi. Chule achen nau in ho jong chu sahphat lou ahi.
In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt.
5 Hitichun Pathenin eihetsah dungjuiyin, khopi sunga lamkai hole mithupi ho chu khosunga cheng milhom ho chutoh kakou khomun aminu kajih lut sah in ahi. Chule keiman Judah gamma ana kile masaho min kijihlut na lekhabu chu kana mudoh in ahi, hichea kamu chu hiche ho hi ahi:
My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
6 Hiche Judahte asohchan nauva hungkile doh a gamchom choma ana kithe-thang hochu ahiuve. Chule leng Nebuchednezzer in Babylona ana puilut ana chenna ngaisau Jerusalem le Judah khopi chom choma tua lelut kit ho chu ahiuve.
This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
