Nehemiah 6
1 And when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall, and that there were no more breaches therein, (though at that time I had not set vp the doores vpon 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 Then sent Sanballat and Geshem vnto me, saying, Come thou that we may meete together in the villages in the plaine of Ono: and they thought to doe me euill.
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 Therefore I sent messengers vnto them, saying, I haue a great worke to doe, and I can not come downe: why should the worke cease, whiles I leaue it, and come downe 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 Yet they sent vnto me foure times after this sort. And I answered them after the same maner.
He ol he kai taengla voei li ham pat uh coeng dae amih te he tlam ni ol ka mael.
5 Then sent Sanballat his seruant after this sorte vnto me the fift time, 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,” ka ti nah.
6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu hath sayd it, that thou and the Iewes thinke to rebel, for the which cause thou buildest the wall and thou wilt bee their King according to these wordes.
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 Thou hast also ordeyned the Prophets to preach of thee at Ierusalem, saying, There is a King in Iudah: and nowe according to these wordes it shall come to the Kings eares: come now therefore, and let vs take counsell 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,” a ti.
8 Then I sent vnto him, saying, It is not done according to these wordes that thou sayest: for thou feynest them of thine owne 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 ni,” ka ti nah.
9 For all they afrayed vs, saying, Their handes shalbe weakened from the worke, and it shall not be done: nowe therefore incourage thou me.
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 to the house of Shemaiah the sonne of Delaiah the sonne of Mehetabeel, and he was shut vp, and he said, Let vs come together into the house of God in the middes of the Temple, and shut the doores of the Temple: for they will come to slay thee: yea, in the night will they come to kill 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 Then I said, Should such a man as I, flee? Who is he, being as I am, that would go into the Temple to liue? I will not goe in.
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 loe, I perceiued, that God had not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecie against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
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 Therefore was he hyred, that I might be afrayde, and doe thus, and sinne, and that they might haue an euill report that they might reproche 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 My God, remember thou Tobiah, and Sanballat according vnto these their workes, and Noadiah the Prophetesse also, and the rest of the Prophets that would haue put me in feare.
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 Notwithstanding the wall was finished on the fiue and twentieth day of Elul, in two and fiftie dayes.
Te cakhaw Elul pakul panga kah sawmnga neh hnin nit vaengah tah vongtung a khah uh.
16 And when all our enemies heard thereof, euen all the heathen that were about vs, they were afraid, and their courage failed them: for they knew, that this worke was wrought by our God.
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 these dayes were there many of the princes of Iudah, whose letters went vnto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah came vnto 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 there were many in Iudah, that were sworne vnto him: for he was the sonne in lawe of Shechaniah, the sonne of Arah: and his sonne Iehonathan had the daughter of Meshullam, the sonne of Berechiah.
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 om uh.
19 Yea, they spake in his praise before me, and tolde him my wordes, and Tobiah sent letters to put me in feare.
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.
