Nehemiah 6
1 When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and our other enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and there were no gaps left—though at that time I still had not put the doors into 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 they sent a message to me, saying, “Come on, let's meet in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.” But they intended to kill me.
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 So I sent messengers to tell them, “I'm busy with important work and I can't come down. Why should I stop what I'm doing and leave it to come and see 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 They sent me the same message four times, and every time my reply was the same.
Hitobang hin amanin livei jen thu eihin thot lhonin kenjong kadonbut ngai ngaiyin kadonbut in ahi.
5 Sanballat sent me the same message the fifth time by his servant, who brought in his hand an open letter.
Anga-vei channan Sanballat in alhachapa kakomah ahin sol in akhut’ah hondohsa lekhathot khat ahinchoiye.
6 The letter read: “People around are saying, and Geshem confirms it, that you and the Jews are planning a rebellion, and that's why you're building the wall. You also plan to become their king, so they say,
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 you have even arranged for prophets in Jerusalem to announce for you, ‘There is a king in Judah.’ The king will soon get to hear about this. So come, and let's talk this over.”
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 I replied, telling him, “Nothing's happening like you're saying! In fact you're just making it all up!”
Hichun keiman thu lethuh na kapen, “Nahin thusei chu khatcha adih aumpoi, aboncha chu nangin nabol thu ngen ahibouve,” kati.
9 They were all just trying to scare us, telling themselves, “They won't have the strength to work so it won't ever get finished.” But I prayed, now make me strong!
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 Later on, I went to Shemaiah's house (he was the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel) who had shut himself in his house. He said: “Come and meet me at the house of God inside the Temple. Then we can bolt the Temple doors shut because they are coming to kill you! They're coming to kill you tonight!”
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 I replied, “Should someone like me run away? Should someone like me go and hide in the Temple so I can survive? I'm not going!”
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 I thought about it and saw that God hadn't sent him, but that he had spoken this prophecy against me because Tobiah 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 They'd hired him thinking I'd be scared into doing something wrong. Then they'd be able to point the finger and ruin my reputation.
Amahon kichat sah a chule chonset sah ding eigot lhon ahibouve. Hiteng chuleh oimoa thepmo sah ding eigot lhon ahi.
14 My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for doing this, and Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets too who tried to frighten me.
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 The wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul. It took 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 When all our enemies found out they were frightened; all the nations around were very discouraged, for they recognized that this had been done 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 At that time the nobles of Judah were exchanging many letters with Tobiah,
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 because many people in Judah had sworn an oath of loyalty to him as he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah, son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan was married to the daughter of Meshullam, 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 They kept on telling me all the good things Tobiah was doing, and they reported to him what I said. Tobiah also sent letters to try and scare me.
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.
