Nehemiah 4
1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we built the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
Keihon pal kasah phat nauva kana toh’u hi Sanballat in ahin hetdoh phat’in alunghang lheh jengin ahi; ahin ama alunghan behseh jeh in Judate chu i-sahloutah in ahousen ahi.
2 And he spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
Hitihin aloi agolho masangle Samaria sepai lamkai ho masanga hiti hin aseiye, “Hiche Israel mimote le tah lalte hin ipi bola kingaito hiuvaham? Gan kilhaina maicham gahbol mai maiya kona hi nikhat sunga hiche pal hi agah tundoh joujeng diuva angaitou ham? Chule hiche meiyin akahsa song hole bohse nong nai hohi mangcha a tohdoh ding agotnu hintem?” ati.
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
Chule akomuva um Ammon mi Tobiah chun hitin ana seiye, “Itobangin kasaphai tijongleu, achunga khun sial khat galhai jongleh chonchim tante,” ati.
4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach on their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
Hichun keima hiti hin kataove, “Vo Kapa Pathen kataonao hi neihin ngaipeh’un, keiho hi noise tah in eikihouse tauve, hijeh chun eihouset nauhi amaho chunga chuh sah inlang; chule amaho joh migam a sohchangin umsah jotan:
5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before you: for they have provoked you to anger before the builders.
Asuhkhel nau hi nahsah mon koi hih beh in, chule achonset naohi geldao hih beh in, ajeh chu amahohin natongho masang laitah a hin nangma naphin lunghang tauvin ahi,” kati.
6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
Hitihin keihon khopi pumpi kimvel chu kagen jom toupeh un hiti chun akim kalhut tauvin ahi, ajeh chu mipiten thanom tah in na atongun ahi.
7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
Ahinla hitobang tah a hi natoh achal a Jerusalem pal achimsa lai jouse akisemphat hi Sanballat le Tobiah chuleh Arab mite, Amon mite le Ashdod miten ajahdoh phat’un alunghang lheh jeng tauvin ahi.
8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
Hijeh chun amaho hin Jerusalem hindel khuma kisatpia suhboi dingin agong tauvin ahi.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
Ahinlah keiho Pathen hengah kataovun khopi chu kangah’un asun ajan in keiho le keiho kaki veng tauvin ahi.
10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
Hichejou hin Juda mipite natongho la athachol lheh tan, song lhoh dingla atamlheh nalaiyin ahi. Hijeh chun eiho changseh in pal hi saphajou pouhite tin aphun tauvin ahi.
11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the middle among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
Alangkhatna kamelma teuvin jong, “Ipi thil soha ham ti ahetdoh kah’uvin, eihon delkhum’u hitin ithagam’uva anatohu hi isuhtang diu ahi,” tin aseiyun ahi.
12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelled by them came, they said to us ten times, From all places from where you shall return to us they will be on you.
Hitia melmate toh cheng khom Judah ho ahungun avel vel in ahung seiyun, “Muntin a kona hunguva eihung delkhum diu ahi,” atiuve.
13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
Hijeh chun keiman paltom mun nemlang akilang dom mun hoa chun thalchoi angah ding kakoiyin ahi. Chule keiman ama ama insung dungjuiyin chem, tengcha leh moltum kichoiya angah ding jong kaban goltoh in ahi.
14 And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not you afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Hiche joujin keiman thil umdan chu kavetoh in, mithupi hole vaihom ho chule mipi dang hochu kakou khomin akomuvah hitin kaseiye, “Melmate jeh khun kicha hih behun! loupitah le thaneitah Pakai chu geldoh un chuleh nasopite, najiteu, nachateu leh na insungu huhnan galsat din pangun,” katin ahi.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one to his work.
Kamelmateu chun athilse gon’u kahehdoh’u chu ajadoh tauvin chuleh Pathenin athilse gon’u chu asuhboipeh phat un, keiho palmuna kana toh nao mun cheh a kakile kit tauve.
16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants worked in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
Ahinlah hichea konchun kamite akeh khatin bou na atongun, adangsen tengcha akidop’un, lum akichoi’un, chule thalpi akipat’un, thih sangkhol aki’ah sohkei tauve. Chuleh lamkai ho jouse chu Judah mipiho atilkhou in apang jingun ahi.
17 They which built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands worked in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
Chule natong hochun akhut langkhat in athilpoh’u chu atuh’un, chuleh akhut langkhat in manchah akichoi’un ahi.
18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
Hitichun natong ho jouse chun apang peh’uva chem akiko soh keiyun ahi. Chule sumkon mutna pangpa chu mutdinga kigo sadem’in keikoma aum jinge.
19 And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another.
Hichun keiman mithupi hole vaihom ho kom leh mipiho koma chun, kahet themsah in, “Inatoh’u hi akithe jal’in hijeh a chu eiho jong pal gol dungjuiya ikithe thang jengu ahi.
20 In what place therefore you hear the sound of the trumpet, resort you thither to us: our God shall fight for us.
Hiche sumkon gin hi najah tengu leh agina langa chun hindel cheh jengun chutengleh I-Pathen un gal eisat peh dingu ahi,” kati.
21 So we labored in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
Keihon jingkah apat nilhah geiyin, chule nisoa pat nilhun geiyin na katongun ahi. Chule mi akeh khat chu manchah kichoi pumin eingah jingun ahi.
22 Likewise at the same time said I to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labor on the day.
Keiman pal koma cheng ho koma chun Jerusalem khopi sunga hung um dau vin tin kasei pehin ahi. Hitia chu amaho le alhacha hon janleh eingah’uva pangdiu sunteng leh na atohdiu ahi, kati.
23 So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
Hiti hin hiche sunghin keiho lah a koima chan kikahin kasopiho ahin, kalhacha ho ahin, keitoh umkhom eingah ho ahin kavon’u chu sopding tilouvin kaladoh khapouve, ajeh chu phattin in manchah kakichoi jingun ahi.
