Nehemiah 4
1 Now, Sanballat, hearing that we were building the wall, was very angry, and in his wrath made sport of the Jews.
Keihon pal kasah phat nauva kana toh’u hi Sanballat in ahin hetdoh phat’in alunghang lheh jengin ahi; ahin ama alunghan behseh jeh in Judate chu i-sahloutah in ahousen ahi.
2 And in the hearing of his countrymen and the army of Samaria he said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will they make themselves strong? will they make offerings? will they get the work done in a day? will they make the stones which have been burned come again out of the dust?
Hitihin aloi agolho masangle Samaria sepai lamkai ho masanga hiti hin aseiye, “Hiche Israel mimote le tah lalte hin ipi bola kingaito hiuvaham? Gan kilhaina maicham gahbol mai maiya kona hi nikhat sunga hiche pal hi agah tundoh joujeng diuva angaitou ham? Chule hiche meiyin akahsa song hole bohse nong nai hohi mangcha a tohdoh ding agotnu hintem?” ati.
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Such is their building that if a fox goes up it, their stone wall will be broken down.
Chule akomuva um Ammon mi Tobiah chun hitin ana seiye, “Itobangin kasaphai tijongleu, achunga khun sial khat galhai jongleh chonchim tante,” ati.
4 Give ear, O our God, for we are looked down on: let their words of shame be turned back on themselves, and let them be given up to wasting in a land where they are prisoners:
Hichun keima hiti hin kataove, “Vo Kapa Pathen kataonao hi neihin ngaipeh’un, keiho hi noise tah in eikihouse tauve, hijeh chun eihouset nauhi amaho chunga chuh sah inlang; chule amaho joh migam a sohchangin umsah jotan:
5 Let not their wrongdoing be covered or their sin washed away from before you: for they have made you angry before the builders.
Asuhkhel nau hi nahsah mon koi hih beh in, chule achonset naohi geldao hih beh in, ajeh chu amahohin natongho masang laitah a hin nangma naphin lunghang tauvin ahi,” kati.
6 So we went on building the wall; and all the wall was joined together half-way up: for the people were working hard.
Hitihin keihon khopi pumpi kimvel chu kagen jom toupeh un hiti chun akim kalhut tauvin ahi, ajeh chu mipiten thanom tah in na atongun ahi.
7 But when it came to the ears of Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites, that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and the broken places were being made good, they were full of wrath;
Ahinla hitobang tah a hi natoh achal a Jerusalem pal achimsa lai jouse akisemphat hi Sanballat le Tobiah chuleh Arab mite, Amon mite le Ashdod miten ajahdoh phat’un alunghang lheh jeng tauvin ahi.
8 And they made designs, all of them together, to come and make an attack on Jerusalem, causing trouble there.
Hijeh chun amaho hin Jerusalem hindel khuma kisatpia suhboi dingin agong tauvin ahi.
9 But we made our prayer to God, and had men on watch against them day and night because of them.
Ahinlah keiho Pathen hengah kataovun khopi chu kangah’un asun ajan in keiho le keiho kaki veng tauvin ahi.
10 And Judah said, The strength of the workmen is giving way, and there is much waste material; it is impossible for us to put up the wall.
Hichejou hin Juda mipite natongho la athachol lheh tan, song lhoh dingla atamlheh nalaiyin ahi. Hijeh chun eiho changseh in pal hi saphajou pouhite tin aphun tauvin ahi.
11 And those who were against us said, Without their knowledge and without their seeing us, we will come among them and put them to death, causing the work to come to a stop.
Alangkhatna kamelma teuvin jong, “Ipi thil soha ham ti ahetdoh kah’uvin, eihon delkhum’u hitin ithagam’uva anatohu hi isuhtang diu ahi,” tin aseiyun ahi.
12 And it came about that when the Jews who were living near them came, they said to us ten times, From all directions they are coming against us.
Hitia melmate toh cheng khom Judah ho ahungun avel vel in ahung seiyun, “Muntin a kona hunguva eihung delkhum diu ahi,” atiuve.
13 So in the lowest part of the space at the back of the walls, in the open places, I put the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
Hijeh chun keiman paltom mun nemlang akilang dom mun hoa chun thalchoi angah ding kakoiyin ahi. Chule keiman ama ama insung dungjuiyin chem, tengcha leh moltum kichoiya angah ding jong kaban goltoh in ahi.
14 And after looking, I got up and said to the great ones and to the chiefs and to the rest of the people, Have no fear of them: keep in mind the Lord who is great and greatly to be feared, and take up arms for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives and your houses.
Hiche joujin keiman thil umdan chu kavetoh in, mithupi hole vaihom ho chule mipi dang hochu kakou khomin akomuvah hitin kaseiye, “Melmate jeh khun kicha hih behun! loupitah le thaneitah Pakai chu geldoh un chuleh nasopite, najiteu, nachateu leh na insungu huhnan galsat din pangun,” katin ahi.
15 And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work
Kamelmateu chun athilse gon’u kahehdoh’u chu ajadoh tauvin chuleh Pathenin athilse gon’u chu asuhboipeh phat un, keiho palmuna kana toh nao mun cheh a kakile kit tauve.
16 And from that time, half of my servants were doing their part of the work, and half kept the spears and body-covers and the bows and the metal war-dresses; and the chiefs were at the back of the men of Judah.
Ahinlah hichea konchun kamite akeh khatin bou na atongun, adangsen tengcha akidop’un, lum akichoi’un, chule thalpi akipat’un, thih sangkhol aki’ah sohkei tauve. Chuleh lamkai ho jouse chu Judah mipiho atilkhou in apang jingun ahi.
17 Those who were building the wall and those who were moving material did their part, everyone working with one hand, with his spear in the other;
Chule natong hochun akhut langkhat in athilpoh’u chu atuh’un, chuleh akhut langkhat in manchah akichoi’un ahi.
18 Every builder was working with his sword at his side. And by my side was a man for sounding the horn.
Hitichun natong ho jouse chun apang peh’uva chem akiko soh keiyun ahi. Chule sumkon mutna pangpa chu mutdinga kigo sadem’in keikoma aum jinge.
19 And I said to the great ones and the chiefs and the rest of the people, The work is great and widely spaced and we are far away from one another on the wall:
Hichun keiman mithupi hole vaihom ho kom leh mipiho koma chun, kahet themsah in, “Inatoh’u hi akithe jal’in hijeh a chu eiho jong pal gol dungjuiya ikithe thang jengu ahi.
20 Wherever you may be when the horn is sounded, come here to us; our God will be fighting for us.
Hiche sumkon gin hi najah tengu leh agina langa chun hindel cheh jengun chutengleh I-Pathen un gal eisat peh dingu ahi,” kati.
21 So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.
Keihon jingkah apat nilhah geiyin, chule nisoa pat nilhun geiyin na katongun ahi. Chule mi akeh khat chu manchah kichoi pumin eingah jingun ahi.
22 And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.
Keiman pal koma cheng ho koma chun Jerusalem khopi sunga hung um dau vin tin kasei pehin ahi. Hitia chu amaho le alhacha hon janleh eingah’uva pangdiu sunteng leh na atohdiu ahi, kati.
23 So not one of us, I or my brothers or my servants or the watchmen who were with me, took off his clothing, everyone went armed to the water.
Hiti hin hiche sunghin keiho lah a koima chan kikahin kasopiho ahin, kalhacha ho ahin, keitoh umkhom eingah ho ahin kavon’u chu sopding tilouvin kaladoh khapouve, ajeh chu phattin in manchah kakichoi jingun ahi.
