Nehemiah 6
1 Now it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gesam the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and [that] there was no opening left therein; ([but] hitherto I had not set up the doors on the gates; )
Vongtung ka sak uh te Sanballat, Tobiah, Arab Geshem neh kaimih thunkha coihpaih loh a yaak. Te vaengah a khuikah a puut tah hmaai voel pawt dae te vaeng tue hil vongka ah thohkhaih ka buen hlan.
2 that Sanaballat and Gesam sent to me, saying, Come and let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they [were] plotting to do me mischief.
Te dongah Sanballat neh Geshem loh kai taengla ol han tah tih, “Ha lo lamtah Ono kolbawn kah sathuengca ah tuentah uh rhoi sih,” a ti. Tedae amih te kai taengah boethae huet hamla cai uh.
3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I shall not be able to come down, lest the work should cease: as soon as I shall have finished it, I will come down to you.
Amih rhoi taengla puencawn rhoek te ka tueih tih, “Bibi tung he ka saii dongah suntlak ham ka coeng moenih. Balae tih bitat he ka toeng eh? Te te ka hlong vetih nang taengla ka suntla aya?
4 And they sent to me [again] to this effect; and I sent them [word] accordingly.
He ol he kai taengla voei li ham pat uh coeng dae amih te he tlam ni ol ka mael.
5 Then Sanaballat sent his servant to me with an open letter in his hand.
A voei nga nah dongah khaw he kah ol bangla Sanballat loh kai taengla a taengca kut neh ham pat dae ca te a kut dongah a ong coeng.
6 And in it was written, It has been reported among the Gentiles that thou and the Jews are planning to revolt: therefore thou art building the wall, and thou wilt be a king to them.
A khuikah a daek te namtom lakli neh Geshem te a yaak sak tih, “Nang neh Judah rhoek hlang tah tloelh ham ka moeh eh na ti rhoi. He dongah ni nang loh vongtung he na tlaih. Nang te he kah ol bangla amih taengah manghai la na om la te.
7 And moreover thou has appointed prophets to thyself, that thou mightest dwell in Jerusalem as a king over Juda: and now these words will be reported to the king. Now then, come, let us take counsel together.
Tonghma rhoek pataeng Jerusalem ah nang kawng aka doek la, Judah ah manghai om tih he ol bangla manghai taengah yaak sak pawn saeh, halo lamtah tun dawt uh thae pawn sih,’ aka ti hamla na pai sak,”.
8 And I sent to him, saying, It has not happened according to these words, [even] as thou sayest, for thou framest them falsely out of thy heart.
Te vaengah anih te ol ka pat tih, “Na thui ol bang he a om noek moenih. Tedae te te na lungbuei lamkah na thainawn,” ka ti nah.
9 For all were trying to alarm us, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from this work, and it shall not be done. Now therefore I have strengthened my hands.
A pum la kaimih n'hih uh tih, “Bibi dongah a kut kha uh vetih saii uh mahpawh,” ti mai cakhaw ka kut he ham moem laeh.
10 And I came into the house of Semei the son of Dalaia the Son of Metabeel, and he was shut up; and he said, Let us assemble together in the house of God, in the midst of it, and let us shut the doors of it; for they are coming by night to slay thee.
Te phoeiah kamah te Mehetabel koca, Delaiah capa Shemaiah im la ka pawk. Te vaengah anih te ying tih, “Bawkim khui kah Pathen im ah hum uh rhoi sih. Nang aka ngawn ham te ha pawk dongah bawkim thohkhaih te khai sih. Khoyin ah khaw nang aka ngawn ham hlang te ha pawk,” a ti.
11 And I said, Who is the man that shall enter into the house, that he may live?
Tedae, “Kai bang hlang he yong a? Kai bang he unim bawkim khuila kun vetih a hing eh? Ka kun mahpawh,” ka ti nah.
12 And I observed, and, behold, God had not sent him, for the prophecy was a fable [devised] against me:
Te vaengah Pathen loh anih tueih pawt la he tila ka hmat. Tedae anih te Tobiah neh Sanballat loh a paang dongah ni kai taengah tonghma ol a thui.
13 and Tobias and Sanaballat had hired against me a multitude, that I might be frightened, and do this, and sin, and become to them an ill name, that they might reproach me.
Kai hih tih he tla ka saii vaengah kai tholh sak ham neh amih taengah ming thae la om sak ham anih te a paang tangloeng, kai he m'veet uh tangloeng.
14 Remember, O God, Tobias and Sanaballat, according to these their deeds, and the prophetess Noadia, and the rest of the prophets who tried to alarm me.
Ka Pathen aw, Tobiah taeng neh Sanballat taengah khaw, tonghmanu Noadiah taeng neh tonghma a noi rhoek taengah kaw, a khoboe bangla thoelh pah. Amih te kai aka hih rhoek ni.
15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the [month] Elul, in fifty-two days.
Te cakhaw Elul pakul panga kah sawmnga neh hnin nit vaengah tah vongtung a khah uh.
16 And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard [of it], that all the nations round about us feared, and great alarm fell upon them, and they knew that it was of our God that this work should be finished.
Ka thunkha boeih loh a yaak uh tih kaimih kaep kah namtom boeih loh a rhih dongah a maelhmai rhep a buenglueng uh. Bitat a saii he kaimih kah Pathen taeng lamkah ni tila a ming uh.
17 And in those days letters came to Tobias from many nobles of Juda, and those of Tobias came to them.
Te vaeng khohnin ah Judah hlangcoelh rhoek loh amih ca te Tobiah taengla muep a pha sak tih Tobiah taeng lamkah te khaw amih taengla cet.
18 For many in Juda were bound to him by oath, because he was son-in-law of Sechenias the son of Herae; and Jonan his son had taken the daughter of Mesulam the son of Barachia to wife.
Arah capa Shekaniah loh Tobiah a cava nah tih a capa Jehohanan long khaw Berekiah capa Meshullam canu te a loh dongah Judah kah boei rhoek khaw anih taengah olhlo neh muep omuh.
19 And they reported his words to me, and carried out my words to him: and Tobias sent letters to terrify me.
Ka mikhmuh ah a then aka thui khaw om uh tih a taengla kai ol aka thak khaw om uh. Tobiah long khaw kai hih hamla ca ham pat.
