< Nehemiah 6 >

1 And it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobijah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
Kamelmateu Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem kiti Arab mipale midang hon, kotpi chengse le kelkot dunga katundoh loulai vangun, Jerusalem pal chu akigen chaiyin avanglai mun khatcha aum tapoi ti amudoh phat’un;
2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Sanballat le Geshem in Ono phaicham Hakkephirim kho ah kimutou hite tin thu eihin thot in ahi. Ahinlah amani hin keima chunga thilse agon lhon ahichu keiman kahen ahi.
3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down. Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to you?
Hijeh chun keiman adonbutna in thu hiti hin kathot in ahi, “Keiman natoh lentah khat katoh ahi, hijeh hin hungthei ponge, nangni toh kimuto ding gunsetna iti kanatoh ka ngah thei ding ham?
4 And they sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them in the same manner.
Hitobang hin amanin livei jen thu eihin thot lhonin kenjong kadonbut ngai ngaiyin kadonbut in ahi.
5 Then sent Sanballat his servant to me in this manner the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand,
Anga-vei channan Sanballat in alhachapa kakomah ahin sol in akhut’ah hondohsa lekhathot khat ahinchoiye.
6 in which was written: It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says [it, that] thou and the Jews think to rebel, for which cause thou buildest the wall, and according to these words thou wilt become their king.
Hiche chun hitin aseiye, “Hiche vella um nam mite lah a hin thu kithang khat akijan, Geshem in jong hichu adih ahi ati, hichu ahileh nangleh Judah tehin lengpa dounan galbol ding agon ahi, hiche jeh'a hi pal nasemphat’u ahi tithu kithang dungjuiya nanghi leng chang dinga kigong nahi,” akiti.
7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning thee at Jerusalem saying, There is a king in Judah! And now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
Aman athupoh dungjuiyin nanghin Jerusalem a nangma chung chang phongdoh dingin thempu ho jong apansah e akiti, veuvin Judah gammah lengkhat aumtai; Hiche thu kithang hi lengpa kom a athu hi gale lhun teiding ahi ti nahet ding doltah ahi, hijeh chun hungin lang hiche thuhi seikhom hite.”
8 And I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
Hichun keiman thu lethuh na kapen, “Nahin thusei chu khatcha adih aumpoi, aboncha chu nangin nabol thu ngen ahibouve,” kati.
9 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be slackened from the work, that it be not carried out. — Now therefore strengthen my hands!
Amaho hin suh kichat a chule keiho hi lunglhah sah ding chule anatoh’u hi suhtang ding atiu ahi. Hijeh chun keiman natoh chu gut tah in kamano jon ahi.
10 And I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who had shut himself 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 are coming to kill thee; even in the night are they coming to kill thee.
Khonungin, Mehetabal tupa Delaiah chapa Shemai’ah chu a in muna aum na a kaga chen kaga kimupi in ahi, hichun aman hitin aseiye, “Eiho Pathen houin sunga kimu tou hitin kot kikha khumu hite, chule namelmaten tujan na hi nahung thadiu ahi.”
11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, could go into the temple, and live? I will not go in.
Ahinla keiman kadonbut’in, “Koiham kei din muna dinga kichat jeh a jam ding ngah? Chule koiham kei dinmuna dinga ahinkho kihuhdoh na dinga houin sunga kisel ding ngah? Ahipoi hitia chu ka umlou ding ahi,” kati.
12 And I perceived, and behold, God had not sent him; for he pronounced this prophecy against me; and Tobijah and Sanballat had hired him.
Pathenin ama koma chun thu aseipoi ti kahei, aman hiche gaothu chu Tobiah leh Sanballat in achohdoh lhon na aseisah lhon ahibouve ti kahet ahi.
13 Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have wherewith to spread an evil report, that they might reproach me.
Amahon kichat sah a chule chonset sah ding eigot lhon ahibouve. Hiteng chuleh oimoa thepmo sah ding eigot lhon ahi.
14 My God, remember Tobijah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets who would have put me in fear.
Vo Ka-Pathen Tobiah leh Sanballat thilse bol ho pihi hingel doh in, chuleh keima kichatsah tei ding eigoa themgaonu Noadiah le themgao dangho jouse jonghi hingel doh in.
15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.
Hiti chun ‘Elul’ lha nileh som ni le nga chan ni kasah pat niuva pat ni som nga le ni ni channin pal chu kagen chai tauvin ahi.
16 And it came to pass that when all our enemies heard [of it], all the nations that were about us were afraid and were much cast down in their own eyes, and they perceived that this work was wrought by our God.
Kamel ma hou le avel a cheng mite hon ajahdoh phat’un akicha lheh jengun jum akisa lheh jengun ahi. Hiche hi Pathen panpina jal a atohdoh jouvu ahi ti amahon ahedoh tauvin ahi.
17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobijah, and those of Tobijah came to them.
Hiche ni som nga le ni ni sung hin Tobiah leh Judah mithupi ho kikah a hin lekha thot tamtah akithot to le le jengun ahi.
18 For there were many in Judah sworn to him; for he was a son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Ajeh chu Judah gam'a mitam tah in ama koma hi kihahsel a kihen ohna ananeiju ahi. Ipijeh inen itileh amahi Arab chapa Secaniah tupa ahin, chujongleh achapa Jehohanan chun Berekiah chapa Meshullam chanu chu akipuiya akichen pi ahi.
19 Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. [And] Tobijah sent letters to put me in fear.
Hijeh chun mihon keikoma ama thilpha bol jeng aseiyun; kei thusei jouse jong ama henga alhut jiuvin ahi. Chule Tobiah hin keima suh kichat teina dingin lekha eihin thot jingin ahi.
