Nehemiah 5
1 Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews.
Hiche phat laitah hin pasal phabep leh ajiteuvin a Judah chanpi ho dounan kiphin na thu ahin samphong tauvin ahi.
2 For there were that said, "We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live."
Amahon hitin aseiyun ahi, “Keiho hi insung mi tamte kahiuve, hijeh chun kaki hinso nadiuvin neh le chah kangaicha be uvin ahi,” atiuve.
3 Some also there were that said, "We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine."
Adanghon aseiyun, keihon kel lhah sunga anneh kakimu na diuvin ka in ule kalouvu chuleh ka lengpileiyu katungdoh tauvin ahi.
4 There were also some who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral.
Chuleh adangin aseikit’un, “Keihon kai pehna dingin kalouvu leh kalengpileiyu sumpa lah na in katung gam tauvin ahi.
5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Look, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. Neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards."
Keiho hi ahao ho insung mi mama kahiuvin, kachateu jong amaho chate tobang ahiuvin, ahinla kaki hinso thei nadiuva hi kachateu hi sohchang dinga suma kaki joh gam diu ahitai. Chule keihon kachanuteu hi kada kachamlou’uva kajoh gammu ahitan alonaje kahe tapouvin ahi, ajeh chu kalou’u leh ka lengpilei houhi mi koma katundoh gamu ahitai,” atiuvin ahi.
6 I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Hiche alunglhai lou nau thulhuh hi kajah doh phat in kalung ahanglheh jengin ahi.
7 Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, "You exact usury, everyone of his brother." I held a great assembly against them.
Giltah a lunggel kanei jouvin, mithupi hole vaihom hochu kaphoh’in, “Nanghon nasopi houvin sumpa alahnauva sumthoi nalah’uhi nasuh gentheiyu ahi,” katin ahi. Hitichun keiman hiche thu suhtohna dinga hin mipi kikhopna khat kana gongin ahi.
8 I said to them, "We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?" Then they held their peace, and found never a word.
Hiche kikhopna a hin keiman hitin kana seiye, “Eihon isopi Judahte namdang ho koma amahole amaho ana kijohdoh hohi nung lhatdoh kitna dinga lung aki ngaito lai tah in nanghon amaho hi sohchang dingin nale joh doh kit tauvin ahi. Chule amaho hi i-jatvei lom i-lhadoh diu ham?” kati. Chujongle amahon akihon na diuvin ima sei ding ahepouvin ahi.
9 Also I said, "The thing that you do is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God, to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies?
Chuin keiman kaseibe kitin, “Nathil bol’u hi adihpoi! I-melma nam hohin einoise louna diuvin I-Pathen’u ginna a hi ikimanchah lou diu ham?
10 I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury.
Keimatah le kasopi ho chule kana tonghon mipi ho koma hi sum le pai chule chang leh mim ho kana hom un ahi, ahinla tubeh hin sumthoi hi lah dau hite.
11 Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them."
Nanghon alou hou le alengpilei hou, le Olive thinglei jouseu chule a in hou chu, tuni tah hin lepeh tauvin. Chule bat dinga sum, changle mim, lengpitwi le Olive thaova kona athoi nalah hou chu nale peh teitei diu ahi,” katin ahi.
12 Then they said, "We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as you say." Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.
Chule amahon eidon but’un, “Keihon mipiho chu lepeh soh keijuving ting chule amahoa konin imacha ngeh tapou vinge, keihon nasei bang bang’a chu kabol diu ahitai,” atiuve. Hijou chun keiman thempuho le mithupi ho chule vaihom ho chu kakouvin akitepnau banga atohdoh tei na diuvin kakihahsel sah in ahi.
13 Also I shook out my lap, and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn't perform this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied." All the assembly said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. The people did according to this promise.
Chuphat in keiman kaponchol chu kathingin kaseitai, “Nakitepnau dungjuija chu nabol louvu leh na insung’u leh na thilkeu houva konin nathing lhauhen kati,” Chule khoppi pumpin eidonbut’uvin, “Amen,” atiuvin Pakai athangvah’un ahi. Chule mipi ho chun akitepnau bang bangin atongdoh tauvin ahi.
14 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artachshasta the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor.
Hitihin kum som le ni sung in Judah gamvaipo in kapangin chule Artexerxes lengchan kal kum somni a pat kum som thumle ni changei, kei kahin kanoiya vaipo ho ahin katoh nau dinmun dungjuiya kachan ding dol’u chanvou chu kalapouve.
15 But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.
Gamvaipo masa hon vang mipiho pohgih nasa tah anapoh sah un, dangka shekel som li kalval in mipi lah a neh le chah chule lengpitwi ana kidon jiuvin ahi. Chule alhachauva pangte ho jengin jong mipi chunga ana kinomsah jiuvin ahinlah keiman Pathen kagin jeh'in hiti chun kanabol pon ahi.
16 Yes, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered there to the work.
Keima tah jengin jong pal sem na a hin lunglut tah in na katongin chule gam leiset lamdoh ding jong kana gelpoi. Chule kalhacha ho jeng jong hiche pal semna ahin kana mangcha soh keiyin ahi.
17 Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundred fifty men, besides those who came to us from among the nations that were around us.
Gam chom choma kona kholjin hungji ho tilou vin jong Judah miho vaihom ho mi ja nga le som nga hi thonlou vin an neh kakhang jingjin ahivangin keiman ima kana ngeh pon ahi.
18 Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I did not demand the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy on this people.
Niseh a keiman neh le chah a kato doh jing chu bongchal khat, kelngoi ahilou le kelcha gup ahcha tampi ahijinge. Chule nisom seh leh donding lengpitwi suhneng jing angaiyin ahi. Ahiyeng vang'in keiman gamvaipo kahina a eikipe nehle chah kachan ding dol chu kangeh deh poi, ajeh chu mipihon pohgih apohkhop set sau ahi.
19 Remember to me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
Vo ka Pathen keima hiche mite dinga thil hijat kabol hi neigeldoh peh in lang hiche jeh hin phatthei neiboh in.
