Nehemiah 9
1 Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel assembled with fasting, and in sackcloths, and with ashes on their head.
Chuche lha nisomni le ni li nin, mipi akikhom kit’un, tuchung hin an angol’un khaodip pon asil’un, aluchunguva vut akinu’uvin ahi.
2 And the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
Israel chilhah ho jouse gamchom miho a konin akidal se uvin chule amaho chonset nale apu apateu chonset na aphongdoh tauvin ahi.
3 And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their god: and they confessed [their sins] to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God.
Pakai Pathen danbu a kona akisim phong tengleh, nidan thum sungin adinnau munah ading chahkheh jiuvin ahi. Chujou tengleh nidan thum ma achonset nau phondoh nale Pakai a Pathen’u chibai bohnan amangun ahi.
4 [And] there stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jesus, and the sons of Cadmiel, Sechenia the son of Sarabia, sons of Choneni; and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
Levite - Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, chuleh Kenani- hichenghi Levite kalbia adingun Pakai a Pathen u kom’ah othong sangtah in asamun apentho jengun ahi.
5 And the Levites, Jesus and Cadmiel, said, Rise up, bless the Lord our God forever and ever: and let them bless your glorious name, and exalt it with all blessing and praise.
Chujouchun Levite lamkaiho chu: Joshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, chule Pethahiah chun mipi ho chu ahin sam in, hiti hin ajah uvah ahinsei taove: “Dingdoh uvin lang Pakai na Pathen’u thangvah un, ajeh chu ama tonsot tonsotna hingjing jeng ahi,” atiuve. Hijouchun amaho ataovun, “Namin loupi hi vahchoiyin umhen! Phatthei bohna le thangvahna ho jouse chunga choisangin umhen!” atiuve.
6 And Esdras said, You are the only true Lord; you made the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and you quicken all things, and the hosts of heaven worship you.
“Nangma changseh bou Pakai nahi. Nangin vanho leh vanthamjol chuleh ahsi jouse nasem ahi. Nangin leiset le twikhanglen chuleh asunga umho jouse nasem ahi. Nangin aboncha hi nahoibit ahin vanna vantilte jousen chibai naboh un ahi.”
7 You are the Lord God, you did choose Abram, and brought him out of the land of the Chaldeans, and gave him the name of Abraam:
“Nangma hi Pakai Pathen nahin Ur gam'a um Chaldea mite lah a kona Abram nana lhendoh a nahin puidoh a, amin jong Abraham a nakhel peh ahi.”
8 and you found his heart faithful before you, and did make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and you have confirmed your words, for you [are] righteous.
“Aman kitah na ana subulhit jeh'in Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amon mite, Periz mite, Jebus mite, chule Gargash mite, gamhi amaleh achilhahte peh dingin kitepna nana neipi in ahi. Chuleh nangin nakitepna bangin nana tongdoh in ahi. Ajehchu nangma hi aseidohsa thuchenga kitah jing jenga nahi.”
9 And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and you heard their cry at the Red Sea.
“Nangin kapu kapateu Egypt gam'a aum laiyuva agenthei nau nana mupeh in, chuleh twikhanglen panga akanao nangaipeh in ahi.”
10 And you showed signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you know that they behaved insolently against them: and you made yourself a name, as at this day.
“Hitichun kapu kapateu anabol genthei jeh’un nangman Pharaoh leh avaihomho chuleh amipite dounan melchihna thilkidang tah tah nana boldoh in ahi.”
11 And you did cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and you did cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.
“Nangman twikhanglen chu nana homkhen in namite tolgo’a lam nana jotsah in ahi. Chule nangman agalmiteu chu twikhanglen sunga nana lehlut’in ahi. Chujongle amaho chu twipi noilanga song bangin analhum mang jengun ahi.”
12 And you guided them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
“Nangman kapu kapateu chu sun tengleh meilom in nana puiyin, jan tengleh meikong lomin nana puiyin, alampi diu nana musah jingin ahi.”
13 Also you came down upon mount Sina, and you spoke to them out of heaven, and gave them right judgments, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.
“Chule nangma Sinai molsang chunga nahung kumlhan chuleh vanna konin nahin seiyin ahi, che na daan le thuhil dihtah tah nanapen chuleh thupeh leh thugahna hoitah tah nana pen ahi.”
14 And you did make known to them your holy sabbath; you did enjoin upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of your servant Moses.
“Chule nangman nachol ngah nitheng chungchang hilchet na jong nana pen chule nangman nalhachapa Mose mangchan nathupeh ho le nathu gah na chuleh nathuhil ho anit diuvin nana seipeh in ahi.”
15 And you gave them bread from heaven for their food, and you brought them forth water from a rock for their thirst; and you bade them go in to inherit the land over which you stretched out your hand to give [it] them.
“Chuti chun amaho agil’u akel tengleh van'a konin changlhah nana pen; adangchah tengule songpia konin twi napen ahi; Nangin peh dinga nana tep peh gamho alokhum diuvin thupeh jong nana pen ahi.”
16 But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not listen to your commandments,
“Ahinlah kapu kapateu chu ana kiletsah’un chuleh ana louchal’un ahi, chuleh nathupeh chu ana nahsah pouvin ahi.”
17 and refused to listen, and remembered not your wonders which you wrought with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt: but you, O God, [are] merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy, and you did not forsake them.
“Amaho nathua nun ding ana nom pouvin, chuleh amaho dinga thilkidang nana bolpeh ho ana geldoh jitapouvin ahi. Chusangin alouchal’un Egypt’a asoh channa languva le puikit dingin lamkai ana kilhen doh’un ahi! Ahiyeng vang'in nangma hi mi ngaidam hat, milungset them le mikhoto them, lunghang vah lou chuleh ngailut na dimset Pathen nahi.”
18 And still farther they even made to themselves a molten calf, and said, These [are] the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they wrought great provocations.
“Amahon bongnou tobang milim semthu ana kisem doh’uva chuleh hitia ana seiyuva, hiche hi na Pathen’u Egypt a kona nahin puidoh pao chu ahi anatiuvin, hitobang tah hin Pathen taitom na chu ana neitaovin ahi.”
19 Yet you in your great compassions did not forsake them in the wilderness: you did not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
“Ahiyeng vang'in na mikhoto na alet jeh in nangin gamthip gam'a chun nana dalha pon ahi. Suntengleh meilom in napuiyin, jantengleh mei kongin napui jing nalaiyin ahi.”
20 And you gave your good Spirit to instruct them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water in their thirst.
“Naphat na Lhagao chu mangchan nana hiljing nalaiyin, agilkel tengule aneh diuvin vanna konin Manna napen adangchah tengule adon diu twi nape jingin ahi.
21 And you did sustain them forty years in the wilderness; you did not allow anything to fail them: their garments did not wax old, and their feet were not bruised.
“Kum somli sungin gamthip noiya nana khoukhah in, chuleh imacha lhahsam na anatoh khapouvin ahi. Aponsil’u jong asepon chuleh akengu jong ana napon ahi.”
22 Moreover, you gave them kingdoms, and did divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
“Chutengleh nangin kapu kapateu chu lenggam hole namdang ho chunga galjona nanapen chuleh namite hi gamsung ningkoi jousea nana koiyin ahi. Amahon Heshbon lengpa Sihon toh Bashan lengpa Og gam jong anala uvin ahi.”
23 And you did multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land of which you spoke to their fathers;
“Nangman achilhahteu chu ahsi jat naphah sahin apu apateu nana teppeh agama chun napui lutin ahi.”
24 And they inherited it: and you did destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and you gave into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do to them as it pleased them.
“Amaho analut’un agamu analah peh’un ahi; chule nangman nam pumpi amasanguva nana sunem in ahi. Chule gamsunga ana cheng Canaan mite jeng jong thaneilou bangin nana lhan ahi! Hitichun namiten hiche nam ho hi aleng teu pumin anop nop ana lotauvin ahi.”
25 And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and olive yards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in your great goodness.
“Kapu kapateuvin, kulpi kigen khum akhopi ho ahin, agam phalai jouseu ahin, analah peh’un ahi. Chule thil le lo phatah tah dimset in ho jong atou phauvin, twikul kigeihomsa hole lengpilei chuleh OIive thinglei le theiphung tamtah alahpeh’un ahi. Hitichun amahon lung nachim set’in athaodoh tokah seuvin aneuvin naphatthei bohna lhingset’a ana kivah’un ahi.”
26 But they turned, and revolted from you, and cast your law behind their backs; and they killed your prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to you, and they wrought great provocations.
“Ahiyeng vang'in amaho ana louchal’un, chuleh nangma dounan ana kiphin nalaiyuvin ahi; chule nadanthu ana nungsun’un, nathemgao ten na-henga hung kile dinga ana gihsal jeh un ana that gam’un, chule nangma dounan thet um tahtah thil anabol tauvin ahi.”
27 Then you gave them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to you in the time of their affliction, and you did hear them from your heaven, and in your great compassions gave them deliverers, and did save them from the hand of them that afflicted them.
“Hijeh chun nangman agalmiteu koma nana pedohjin, amahon ana sugenthei jiuvin ahi. Ahivangin amahon athoh gimuva nakoma ahung tao tengule nangman vanna konin ataonao nangai peh kit jin; chule nami khoto na jal’in nangin ahuhdoh diu nasolpeh kityin, amahon agal miuva konin aga huhdoh juivin ahi.”
28 But when they rested, they did evil again before you: so you left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to you, and you heard [them] from heaven, and did deliver them in your great compassions.
“Ahinlah amahon olna ahin muphat phat’ule avelin nangma mitmun thilse ahin bol kit jiuvin; chuleh nangin agal mihou noiyah nasunem kit jin ahi. Ahiyeng vang'in amahon kap pum puma panpi ngaicha a nangma kom ahinbel tengule vana konin ataonao nahin sanpeh kitjin ahi. Chuti chun nami khoto na kidangtah jal'in nangin avel vel in nahuhdoh kit jin ahi.”
29 And you did testify against them, to bring them back to your law: but they listened not, but sinned against your commandments and your judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.
“Nangman na danthua ahung kilehei kitna diuvin nagih saljin ahinla amaho akiletsah un, alouchal’un, nathupeh anah sahmo jiuvin ahi. Chule na danthu ho hi ajuiju leh ahindoh jeng theina diu jong ajui nom pouvin ahi; amaho alouchal’un nangma nanung ngat’un nathu angai nom pouvin ahi.”
30 Yet you did bear long with them many years, and did testify to them by your Spirit by the hand of your prophets: but they listened not; so you gave them into the hand of the nations of the land.
“Na mingailut na jal’in kum hijat pi hi nahin khongaiyin ahi; chule nangman na Lhagao Theng nahin sol in, aman themgao ho mangchan agihsal sahjin ahi. Ahinla amahon anahsah deh jipouve! Hijeh chun nangman agamsung miho khutna gal nalel sahjin ahi.”
31 But you in your many mercies did not appoint them to destruction, and did not forsake them; for you are strong, and merciful, and pitiful.
Ahinlah na mikhoto na anat sat jeh in amaho chu nasu mangpai deh pon chule nadonda deh pon ahi. Itobanga lungset them leh khoto them nahi hitam?”
32 And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping your covenant and your mercy, let not all the trouble seem little in your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all your people, from the days of the kings of Assur even to this day.
“Tun vang ka Pathen’u loupi tah leh thahattah chuleh gimneitah ami ngailut na longlou puma akitepna nit jing Pathen, kathoh gimnao hi nahsah mon neikoi peh hihbeh’un; ajeh chu Assyria lengten eichotpha uva pat tuni geihin keiho le ka lengteu, kalamkai teu, ka themputeu, le kapu kapateu, namite ho jouse chunga hin hahsat na nasatah achutan ahi.”
33 But you [are] righteous in all the things that come upon us; for you have wrought faithfully, but we have greatly sinned.
“Nei-engbol chan’un nangma hi nadih jinge, chule keiho kachonset val jeh uvin nangman kachan diuva kilom bep neipeh jiu ahi.”
34 And our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our fathers, have not performed your law, and have not given heed to your commandments, and [have not kept] your testimonies which you did testify to them.
“Kaleng teu, ka lamkaiteu, ka themputeu, kapu kapate uvin na daan anit pouvin, na daan thupeh leh nagihsal na jong anahsah pouvin ahi.”
35 And they did not serve you in your kingdom, and in your great goodness which you gave to them, and in the large and fat land which you did furnish before them, and they turned not from their evil devices.
“Amahon lenggam tum aneiyun, nangman naphat naho nabuhlhah khum vangun amahon nangma najen pouve; chule nangman gampha tah leh gam lentah napen ahinlah amahon athilse bolnauva konin ahung kilehei nom deh pouve.”
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and [as for] the land which you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good things of it, behold, we are servants upon it:
“Hijeh chun tuni kho hin, nangin kapu kapa teuvin nengtah le lungmong tah a anehdiu gampha tah napeh na muna hin sohchangin kaum tauve! Hiche gampha lai tah a hin kasoh changtauve.”
37 and its produce [is] abundant for the kings whom you did appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.
“Kachonset jeh’uvin hiche gamsung sohdoh ga phatah tah ho hi nangin keiho chunga vaihom dinga na tun lengho khut nah achugam tan ahi; chule amahon keiho chungleh kagancha hou chunga tha aneitauve. Chujongle amahon adei deiyin eimangchauvin keiho kagenthei lheh jengtauve,” atiuvin ahi.
38 And in regard to all these circumstances we make a covenant, and write [it], and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, set their seal to [it].
Hichun mipihon adonbut’un, “Hiche chung changa hin keihon kitepna giltah kaneiyun, hichu kajih lut’un ahi. Hiche mohor kinam khum thulhuhna lekha chunga hin ka lamkaiteu, Levite, chuleh kathempuhou min achongin ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
