Nehemiah 4
1 And it came to pass, that when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall he was angry: and being moved exceedingly he scoffed at the Jews.
Hateiteh, hettelah ao. Sanballat ni rapan pathoupnae akong a thai toteh, puenghoi a lungkhuek teh Judahnaw hah a dudam.
2 And said before his brethren, and the multitude of the Samaritans: What are the silly Jews doing? Will the Gentiles let them alone? will they sacrifice and make an end in a day? are they able to raise stones out of the heaps of the rubbish, which are burnt?
A hmaunawnghanaw hoi Samaria ransanaw e hmalah lawk a dei teh, hate Judahnaw a tha kaawm hoehnaw ni bangmaw a sak thai awh han vai. Khopui bout kangdue sak hane maw a noe awh vai, thuengnae bout sak hanelah vaimoe ka kang tangcoung e talungnaw songnawng um e rasa vaiteh bout pathoup awh han vaimoe telah a dei pouh.
3 Tobias also the Ammonite who was by him said: Let them build: if a fox go up, he will leap over their stone wall.
Ateng kaawm e Ammon tami Tobiah ni sak e rapannaw hah Asui ni mah luen sin pawiteh, ei ka rawm ca han atipouh.
4 Hear thou our God, for we are despised: turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them to be despised in a land of captivity.
Oe ka Cathut na khenhaw! dudam e tami lah ka o awh. Kaimouh na pathoe e naw amamae lû dawk bawt naseh. Ahnimouh hai alouke ram buetbuet touh dawk yeiraipo van seh.
5 Cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thy face, because they have mocked thy builders.
Lawkkamnae hah ramuk pouh hanh. A yonnae teh na hmalah roum sak hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, rapan kapathoupnaw hmalah nang lung na khuek sak awh.
6 So we built the wall, and joined it all together unto the half thereof: and the heart of the people was excited to work.
Hateiteh, kaimouh ni khopui rapan hah ka pathoup awh. Ka pathoup e taminaw teh a lungmanae a len dawkvah, khopui a tengpam hoi khopui rapan rasang tangawn totouh ka pacoung awh.
7 And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Azotians heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and the breaches began to be closed, that they were exceedingly angry.
Hat navah, Sanballat hoi Tobiah hoi Arab taminaw, Ammonnaw hoi Asdodnaw ni Jerusalem rapan te pou a pathoup awh tie kong a thai awh navah, puenghoi a lungkhuek awh.
8 And they all assembled themselves together, to come, and to fight against Jerusalem, and to prepare ambushes.
Hahoi teh, Jerusalem tarantuk hane hoi runae poe hanelah a kâcai awh.
9 And we prayed to our God, and set watchmen upon the wall day and night against them.
Hateiteh, kaimouh ni Cathut koe ka ratoum awh teh, amom tangmin kâhat laipalah ramveng ka ta awh.
10 And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.
Judahnaw ni thaw katawkkungnaw teh a tâwn poung awh toe. Songnawngnaw hai apap poung, rapan pathoup thai mahoeh toe ati awh.
11 And our enemies said: Let them not know, nor understand, till we come in the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.
Tarannaw ni hai ahnimanaw kâhruetcuet awh hoeh nah cei awh vaiteh, thawnaw raphoe pouh sei ati awh.
12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us,
Ahnimae ateng kaawm e Judahnaw ni, tarannaw teh onae alouklouk lahoi tho awh vaiteh nangmouh na tuk awh han toe telah boutbout a dei awh.
13 I set the people in the place behind the wall round about in order, with their swords, and spears, and bows.
Hatdawkvah, rapan e a hnukkhu lah, ka rahnoum e hmuen kathounge, hmuen dawk tahloi, tahroe, licung ka sin e taminaw hah a miphun lahoi thaw ka poe.
14 And I looked and rose up: and I said to the chief men and the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: be not afraid of them. Remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, and your wives, and your houses.
Ka thaw teh ka khet. Bawinaw, lawkcengkungnaw hoi alouke taminaw ka kaw teh, tarannaw taket awh hanh, kalenpounge hoi takikatho poung e Cathut pahnim laipalah, hmaunawnghanaw, canunaw, yunaw hoi imnaw karoumcalah o thai nahan tawk awh ka ti pouh.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that the thing had been told us, that God defeated their counsel. And we returned all of us to the walls, every man to his work.
Tarannaw ni a noe awh e naw hah Cathut ni a raphoe pouh tie na panue sak e ka panue awh toteh, rapan pathoup hanelah mae hmuen koe lengkaleng ka ban awh teh ka tawk awh.
16 And it came to pass from that day forward, that half of their young men did the work, and half were ready for to fight, with spears, and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, and the rulers were behind them in all the house of Juda.
Hahoi teh, tangawn ni thaw a tawk awh, tangawn ni tahroe bahling, sumangkinaw a patuep awh. Hahoi lawkcengkungnaw teh Judah imthung e a hnuklah ao awh.
17 Of them that built on the wall and that carried burdens, and that laded: with one of his hands he did the work, and with the other he held a sword.
Rapan pathoup nahanlah hno kaphawtnaw ni hai kutvang hoi thaw tawk awh teh, kutvang hoi senehmaica a patuep awh.
18 For every one of the builders was girded with a sword about his reins. And they built, and sounded with a trumpet by me.
Kapathoupkungnaw ni tahloi hah a keng dawk a neng laihoi a tawk awh. Mongka kauengnaw teh ka teng vah, a kangdue awh.
19 And I said to the nobles, and to the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: The work is great and wide, and we are separated on the wall one far from another:
Thaw a len poung teh akawpoung dawkvah, rapan e a van vah buet touh hoi buet touh kâhlat poung lah ka tawk awh.
20 In what place soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, run all thither unto us: our God will fight for us.
Hatdawkvah, mongka lawk na thai awh toteh, alouklouk lahoi kai koe na tho awh vaiteh, maimae Cathut ni taran na tuk pouh han telah, bawinaw, lawkcengkungnaw hoi alouke taminaw koe ka dei pouh.
21 And let us do the work: and let one half of us hold our spears from the rising of the morning, till the stars appear.
Hottelah thaw teh ka tawk awh. tami tangawn ni khodai hoi e tangmin Âsi kamnue totouh senehmaica a patuep awh.
22 At that time also I said to the people: Let every one with his servant stay in the midst of Jerusalem, and let us take our turns in the night, and by day, to work.
Hahoi kai ni, taminaw pueng tangmin teh Jerusalem kho thung vah ip awh. Khodai vah thaw tawk awh vaiteh, karum vah kâletta lahoi ramveng ratawng awh han telah taminaw koe ka dei pouh.
23 Now I and my brethren, and my servants, and the watchmen that followed me, did not put off our clothes: only every man stripped himself when he was to be washed.
Hahoi, ka nawnghanaw thoseh, ka sannaw thoseh, ka hnukkâbangnaw thoseh, amamae khohna rading laipalah, ka o awh.
