< Nehemiah 1 >
1 Words of Nehemiah son of Hachaliah. And it comes to pass, in the month of Chisleu, the twentieth year, and I have been in Shushan the palace,
Hacaliah chapa Nehemiah tohdoh chengse ho chu ahi, Artaxerxes in lengvai apoh kal kum somni lhin kum Kislev lhasungin, keima Nehemiah hi gamsung’a khopi lenpen Susa khopi sunga kana um'in ahi.
2 and Hanani, one of my brothers, he and men of Judah come in, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem;
Kasopi ho lah a mikhat Hanani kitipa chun mi phabep khat toh Judah gam'a konin eihung vil’un ahi. Keiman amaho chu Juda teho Babylon a asohchan nauva akona ana kile kit ho chu itobang nauvem chule Jerusalem chu itobang nam tithu kana dongin ahi.
3 and they say to me, “Those left, who have been left of the captivity there in the province, [are] in great evil, and in reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”
Amahon hiti hin eidonbut uve, “Sohchan naova konna hung kile Judate chu, hinkho hahsa tah le Avella cheng namdan ten anoise lheh uve, Chule Jerusalem kulpi bang chu akisuchim nia pat, kelkot ho jouse jong meiya ana kihal lhah gam jou apat semphat louvin aum e,” ti eiseipeh un ahi.
4 And it comes to pass, at my hearing these words, I have sat down, and I weep and mourn [for] days, and I am fasting and praying before the God of the heavens.
Hiche thuhi kajah phat in katou lha jengin kakap jah tai. Chuti chun nikho phabep sung chun lunghem tah in an ka-ngol’in chule van Pathen koma kataovin ahi.
5 And I say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, God of the heavens, God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and kindness for those loving Him, and for those keeping His commands,
“O Pakai, van Pathen, nathupeh nit hole nangma ngailu jingho chunga na milungset nale nakitepna chepi jinga oupe tah le tijat umtah Pathen nahi!
6 please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, to listen to the prayer of Your servant, that I am praying before You today, by day and by night, concerning the sons of Israel, Your servants, and confessing concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, that we have sinned against You; indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned;
Nami Israelte dinga sun le jana kataona hi venlang chule kataona hi neihin ngaipeh in! Ajeh chu keiho hi nangma douna a chonse kahi tauve, keima insung le keima tah jeng jong kachonse tauve tia kaphondoh ahi.
7 we have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, that You commanded Your servant Moses.
Chule nalhachapa Mose a kona neipeh’u nathupeh ho le chonna dan chule neithu gah na ho kanit pouvin melse tah in kachonse tauve.
8 Please remember the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, You trespass—I scatter you among peoples;
Chule nangman nalhachapa Mose koma nanaseisa, “Nangho keima koma nakitah lou’ule keiman chitin namtin laha kathe cheh ding nahiuve.
9 and you have turned back to Me, and kept My commands, and done them—if your outcast is in the end of the heavens, there I gather them, and have brought them to the place that I have chosen to cause My Name to dwell there.
Amavang nangho kaheng’a nahung kile hei’uva kathu peh nanit’uva hiche dungjuiya chu nachon’uva ahileh leiset kol mong geiya ana kithe chehsa hijong leu chun kamin dopsang na dinga keiman kagon pehnau gam ma chu kahin nung puilut kit diu ahi nati,” chu hingel doh kit’in.
10 And they [are] Your servants, and Your people, whom You have ransomed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand.
Hiche nam mite hi nalhacha te ahiuve, naban gol thahat nale natha neina’a nahuh dohsa ahiuve.
11 Ah, now, O Lord, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants, those delighting to fear Your Name; and please give prosperity to Your servant today, and give him for mercies before this man”; and I have been butler to the king.
O Pakai kataona hi lungset tah in neingai peh in! Nangma ja bolna a thanomte taona ngaipeh in, tuni hin lengpa khohsah na neimu sah in lang neilolhin sah in; lengpa lungsunga khoto na neimu sah in.” kati. Hiche phatlai chun, lengpa juhaidom in kana pange.
