Nehemiah 6
1 Hatnavah, khopui longkha ka cum awh hoeh rah eiteh, khopui rapan teh a cak toe tie Sanballat hoi Tobiah hoi Arab tami Geshem hoi alouke tarannaw ni kamthang a thai awh toteh,
Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates; )
2 Sanballat hoi Geshem ni tho haw, Ono hmuen koe kâhmo awh sei telah kahawihoehe pouknae hoi lawk na thui.
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
3 Kai ni hai, patounenaw ka patoun teh, kai teh thaw kalenpounge ka tawk dawkvah ka tho thai mahoeh. Bangkong hete thawnaw ka ceitakhai vaiteh, nangmouh koe khuet ka tho han vaw telah lawk bout ka thaisak van.
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
4 Hottelah, vai pali touh hane lawk na thui eiteh, hettelah doeh boutbout ka dei pouh.
Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
5 Hat torei teh, Sanballat ni hottelah ca bout a thut teh, paawng tangcoung e ca a sanpa buet touh koe a phu sak.
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6 Ca dawk thut lah kaawm e teh, nang hoi Judahnaw ni kâtaran hane na noe awh dawkvah, rapan na pathoup awh titeh alouke miphunnaw ni a dei awh. Geshem ni hai a dei. Hete lawk hoi kâkuen lah nang teh Judah siangpahrang lah o han na ngai dawk doeh.
Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
7 Judah ram dawk siangpahrang ao telah na kong hah siangpahrang koevah karanglah a kamthang han. Hatdawkvah, tho nateh kâdeikâpan sei telah ca a thut.
And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
8 Hatnavah, kai ni hai lawk na dei e naw buet touh hai atang nahoeh. Na pouk e na dei rumram e doeh telah tami buet touh ka tha te ka dei sak.
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni a tawk e thawnaw teh cum thai awh mahoeh, thayoun awh han doeh telah pouk lahoi na pakhinae doeh. Hatdawkvah, atuteh oe Cathut ka kutnaw hah tha awm sak haw.
For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
10 Hahoi, Mehetabel capa, Delai capa Shemaiah ni kâhronae im dawk ka cei navah ahni ni Cathut e im Bawkim thung kâhmo awh vaiteh, Bawkim thonaw khan awh sei. Nang ka thet hane taminaw a tho awh han, tangmin nakunghai a tho awh han telah a ti.
Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
11 Kai nihai, kai patetlah e tami ni khuet ka yawng han namaw. Kai hoi kâvan e tami ni a hring nahanelah Bawkim thung kâen han namaw, ka kâen mahoeh ka ti pouh.
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
12 Hahoi kai ni ka thai panuek e teh, Cathut ni a tha e nahoeh. Kai hoi kâtaran lah sutdeilawk a pathang e doeh. Tobiah hoi Sanballat ni a hlai roi e doeh.
And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hottelah ka sak lahoi yonnae sak sak vaiteh, na pathoe hane a ngai dawk, a hlai e doeh.
Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14 Oe ka Cathut, hettelah ka sak e Tobiah hoi Sanballat hoi profet napui Noadiah hoi alouke profetnaw hah pahnim han.
My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
15 Rapan a cum awh teh, hnin 52 hnukkhu, Elul thapa hnin 25 nah ka cum awh.
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
16 Hote kamthang teh tarannaw ni a thai awh teh, alouke miphunnaw ni rapan a hmu awh navah, puenghoi a taki awh teh, hete hnonaw heh Cathut ni a sak e doeh tie a panue awh.
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
17 Hatnavah, Judah bawinaw ni Tobiah koe ca moi a patoun awh teh, Tobiah koe e ca hai a hmu awh.
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
18 Tobiah teh Arah capa, Shekaniah e cava lah ao teh, a capa Jehohanan Berekhiah, capa Meshullam, canu hoi ao roi dawkvah, Judahnaw ni Tobiah koe lawk a kam awh.
For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
19 Ahnimouh ni Tobiah hnokahawi a sak e naw hah kai koe bout a dei awh. Kaie lawk hai ahni koe bout a dei pouh awh. Ahnimouh ni hai kai ni taki sak nahane ca bout na poe.
Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
