Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Neemias the son of Chelcia. And it came to pass in the month Chaseleu, of the twentieth year, that I was in Susan the palace.
Hacaliah capa Nehemiah e lawk teh, Artaxerxes abawinae kum 20, Khislev thapa, siangpahrang khopui Shushan im ka o navah,
2 And Anani, one of my brethren, came, he and [some] men of Juda; and I asked them concerning those that had escaped, who had been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
ka nawngha Hanani hoi Judah ram e tami tangawn a tho awh teh Judah taminaw san dawk hoi ka hlout ni teh kaawm rae naw hoi, Jerusalem e a kongnaw hah ka pacei.
3 And they said to me, The remnant, [even] those that are left of the captivity, [are] there in the land, in great distress and reproach: and the walls of Jerusalem [are] thrown down, and its gates are burnt with fire.
Ahnimouh ni kai koevah, san thung hoi ka tâcawt ni teh hot ram dawk kaawm awh rae naw ni, kalenpounge roedengnae hoi hnephnapnae thung ao awh. Jerusalem rapan pueng a rawp teh longkhanaw hmai koung a kak telah a dei awh.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, [that] I sat down and wept, and mourned for [several] days, and continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
Hote lawk ka thai navah ka tahung teh ka kâ. A hnin moikasawlah ka lung a mathoe teh rawcahai lahoi kalvan kaawm Cathut koe ka ratoum e teh,
5 And I said, Nay, I pray thee, O Lord God of heaven, the mighty, the great and terrible, keeping thy covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to those that keep his commandments:
Oe kalvan kaawm e Jehovah Cathut, kalen ni teh takikatho poung e Cathut, nang lungpataw niteh, na kâpoelawknaw ka tarawi e lathueng vah, lawkkam na kuep sak teh lungmanae kamnueksakkung,
6 let now thine ear be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, this day [both] day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and the house of my father have sinned.
Isarelnaw hanelah, na hmalah amom tangmin ka ratoum teh Isarelnaw lah kaawm e kaimouh ni ka sakpayon e yonnaw ka pâpho awh teh ka kâhei awh e naw hah sahnin na thai pouh haw.
7 We have altogether broken [covenant] with thee, and we have not kept the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which thou didst command thy servant Moses.
Kai hoi ka miphunnaw ni ka payon awh toe. Cathut nang koe ka yon awh teh, panuetthopounge hno ka sakpayon awh toe. Na san Mosi koe na poe e kâpoelawknaw, phunglawknaw, lawkcengnaenaw ka tarawi awh hoeh toe.
8 Remember, I pray thee, the word wherewith thou didst charge thy servant Moses, saying, If ye break covenant [with me], I will disperse you among the nations.
Na san Mosi koevah yuemkamcu lah na awm awh hoehpawiteh miphun pueng kâkapek sak han.
9 But if ye turn again to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; if ye should be scattered under the utmost [bound] of heaven, thence will I gather them, and I will bring them into the place which I have chosen to cause my name to dwell there.
Hatei kai koe bout na ban awh teh kâpoelawknaw bout na tarawi awh pawiteh kalvan rahim ahla poungnae koe pâlei e lah na o awh nakunghai, hote hmuen koehoi bout na pâkhueng vaiteh ka min o nahan ka rawi e hmuen koe na ceikhai han telah Mosi koe lawk na poe e hah pahnim hanh lah.
10 Now they [are] thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy great power, and with thy strong hand.
Atuvah taminaw teh kalenpounge na thaonae hoi karang poung e na kut hoi na ratang e taminaw doeh.
11 [Turn] not [away], I pray thee, O Lord, but let thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and cause him to find mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was the king's cup-bearer.
Oe BAWIPA na san ni ratoumnae hoi na min ka bari e na sannaw ratoumnae lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Na san heh sahnin yawhawinae poe haw. Hete tami hmalah minhmai kahawi na hmawt sak haw telah ka ratoum. Hatnavah kai teh siangpahrang e manang kuenkung lah ka o.
