Nehemiah 5
1 And there occurred a great outcry of the people and their wives against their brothers, the Jews.
Hiche phat laitah hin pasal phabep leh ajiteuvin a Judah chanpi ho dounan kiphin na thu ahin samphong tauvin ahi.
2 And there were those who were saying: “Our sons and our daughters are very many. Let us receive grain as a price for them, and then we may eat and live.”
Amahon hitin aseiyun ahi, “Keiho hi insung mi tamte kahiuve, hijeh chun kaki hinso nadiuvin neh le chah kangaicha be uvin ahi,” atiuve.
3 And there were those who were saying: “Let us offer up our fields and vineyards, and our houses, and then we may receive grain during the famine.”
Adanghon aseiyun, keihon kel lhah sunga anneh kakimu na diuvin ka in ule kalouvu chuleh ka lengpileiyu katungdoh tauvin ahi.
4 And others were saying: “Let us borrow money for the tribute of the king, and let us surrender our fields and vineyards.”
Chuleh adangin aseikit’un, “Keihon kai pehna dingin kalouvu leh kalengpileiyu sumpa lah na in katung gam tauvin ahi.
5 “And now, as is the flesh of our brothers, so is our flesh; and as are their sons, so also are our sons. Behold, we have subjugated our sons and our daughters into servitude, and some of our daughters are slaves, nor do we have the ability to redeem them, for others possess our fields and our vineyards.”
Keiho hi ahao ho insung mi mama kahiuvin, kachateu jong amaho chate tobang ahiuvin, ahinla kaki hinso thei nadiuva hi kachateu hi sohchang dinga suma kaki joh gam diu ahitai. Chule keihon kachanuteu hi kada kachamlou’uva kajoh gammu ahitan alonaje kahe tapouvin ahi, ajeh chu kalou’u leh ka lengpilei houhi mi koma katundoh gamu ahitai,” atiuvin ahi.
6 And when I had heard their outcry in these words, I was exceedingly angry.
Hiche alunglhai lou nau thulhuh hi kajah doh phat in kalung ahanglheh jengin ahi.
7 And my heart considered within me. And I rebuked the nobles and the magistrates, and I said to them, “Have you each been exacting usury from your brothers?” And I gathered together a great assembly against them.
Giltah a lunggel kanei jouvin, mithupi hole vaihom hochu kaphoh’in, “Nanghon nasopi houvin sumpa alahnauva sumthoi nalah’uhi nasuh gentheiyu ahi,” katin ahi. Hitichun keiman hiche thu suhtohna dinga hin mipi kikhopna khat kana gongin ahi.
8 And I said to them: “As you know, in accord with what was possible for us, we have redeemed our brothers, the Jews, who had been sold to the Gentiles. And yet you now sell your brothers, and we must redeem them?” And they were silent, nor did they find anything to answer.
Hiche kikhopna a hin keiman hitin kana seiye, “Eihon isopi Judahte namdang ho koma amahole amaho ana kijohdoh hohi nung lhatdoh kitna dinga lung aki ngaito lai tah in nanghon amaho hi sohchang dingin nale joh doh kit tauvin ahi. Chule amaho hi i-jatvei lom i-lhadoh diu ham?” kati. Chujongle amahon akihon na diuvin ima sei ding ahepouvin ahi.
9 And I said to them: “The thing that you are doing is not good. Why are you not walking in the fear of our God, so that there may be no reproach against us from our enemies, the Gentiles?
Chuin keiman kaseibe kitin, “Nathil bol’u hi adihpoi! I-melma nam hohin einoise louna diuvin I-Pathen’u ginna a hi ikimanchah lou diu ham?
10 Both I and my brothers, with my servants, have lent money and grain to many. Let us agree not to ask for its return. Let us forgive the other money that is owed to us.
Keimatah le kasopi ho chule kana tonghon mipi ho koma hi sum le pai chule chang leh mim ho kana hom un ahi, ahinla tubeh hin sumthoi hi lah dau hite.
11 On this day, restore their fields, and their vineyards, and their olive groves, and their houses to them. Then, too, the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, wine, and oil, which you usually exact from them, give it to them.”
Nanghon alou hou le alengpilei hou, le Olive thinglei jouseu chule a in hou chu, tuni tah hin lepeh tauvin. Chule bat dinga sum, changle mim, lengpitwi le Olive thaova kona athoi nalah hou chu nale peh teitei diu ahi,” katin ahi.
12 And they said: “We will restore it, and we will require nothing from them. And we will do just as you say.” And I called the priests, and I had them swear an oath, so that they would act in accord with what I had said.
Chule amahon eidon but’un, “Keihon mipiho chu lepeh soh keijuving ting chule amahoa konin imacha ngeh tapou vinge, keihon nasei bang bang’a chu kabol diu ahitai,” atiuve. Hijou chun keiman thempuho le mithupi ho chule vaihom ho chu kakouvin akitepnau banga atohdoh tei na diuvin kakihahsel sah in ahi.
13 Moreover, I shook out my lap, and I said: “So may God shake out every man, who does not fulfill this word. From his house and from his labors, so may he be shaken out and become empty.” And the entire multitude said, “Amen.” And they praised God. Therefore, the people acted in accord with what was said.
Chuphat in keiman kaponchol chu kathingin kaseitai, “Nakitepnau dungjuija chu nabol louvu leh na insung’u leh na thilkeu houva konin nathing lhauhen kati,” Chule khoppi pumpin eidonbut’uvin, “Amen,” atiuvin Pakai athangvah’un ahi. Chule mipi ho chun akitepnau bang bangin atongdoh tauvin ahi.
14 Now from that day, on which the king had ordered me to be governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of king Artaxerxes, for twelve years, I and my brothers did not eat the yearly allowance that was owed to the governors.
Hitihin kum som le ni sung in Judah gamvaipo in kapangin chule Artexerxes lengchan kal kum somni a pat kum som thumle ni changei, kei kahin kanoiya vaipo ho ahin katoh nau dinmun dungjuiya kachan ding dol’u chanvou chu kalapouve.
15 But the former governors, the ones who had been before me, were a burden to the people, and they took from them bread and wine, and forty shekels of money each day. And their officials also oppressed the people. But I did not do so, out of fear of God.
Gamvaipo masa hon vang mipiho pohgih nasa tah anapoh sah un, dangka shekel som li kalval in mipi lah a neh le chah chule lengpitwi ana kidon jiuvin ahi. Chule alhachauva pangte ho jengin jong mipi chunga ana kinomsah jiuvin ahinlah keiman Pathen kagin jeh'in hiti chun kanabol pon ahi.
16 In fact, I preferred to build in the work of the wall, and I bought no land, and all my servants were gathered to do the work.
Keima tah jengin jong pal sem na a hin lunglut tah in na katongin chule gam leiset lamdoh ding jong kana gelpoi. Chule kalhacha ho jeng jong hiche pal semna ahin kana mangcha soh keiyin ahi.
17 Likewise, the Jews and the magistrates, one hundred and fifty men, were at my table, with those who came to us from among the Gentiles that are around us.
Gam chom choma kona kholjin hungji ho tilou vin jong Judah miho vaihom ho mi ja nga le som nga hi thonlou vin an neh kakhang jingjin ahivangin keiman ima kana ngeh pon ahi.
18 Now there was prepared for me, on each day, one ox and six choice rams, along with poultry. And once every ten days, I distributed diverse wines and many other things. Yet I did not require my yearly allowance as governor. For the people were greatly impoverished.
Niseh a keiman neh le chah a kato doh jing chu bongchal khat, kelngoi ahilou le kelcha gup ahcha tampi ahijinge. Chule nisom seh leh donding lengpitwi suhneng jing angaiyin ahi. Ahiyeng vang'in keiman gamvaipo kahina a eikipe nehle chah kachan ding dol chu kangeh deh poi, ajeh chu mipihon pohgih apohkhop set sau ahi.
19 Remember me, O my God, for good, in accord with all that I have done for this people.
Vo ka Pathen keima hiche mite dinga thil hijat kabol hi neigeldoh peh in lang hiche jeh hin phatthei neiboh in.
