Nehemiah 1
1 The story of Nehemiah, son of Hacaliah, —and it came to pass, in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when, I, was in Shusan the fortress,
Hacaliah capa Nehemiah e lawk teh, Artaxerxes abawinae kum 20, Khislev thapa, siangpahrang khopui Shushan im ka o navah,
2 that Hanani one of my brethren came, he and certain men out of Judah, —so I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
ka nawngha Hanani hoi Judah ram e tami tangawn a tho awh teh Judah taminaw san dawk hoi ka hlout ni teh kaawm rae naw hoi, Jerusalem e a kongnaw hah ka pacei.
3 And they said unto me, The remnant who are left of the captivity, there in the province, are in great misfortune and reproach, the wall of Jerusalem, is broken down, and, the gates thereof, are burned with fire.
Ahnimouh ni kai koevah, san thung hoi ka tâcawt ni teh hot ram dawk kaawm awh rae naw ni, kalenpounge roedengnae hoi hnephnapnae thung ao awh. Jerusalem rapan pueng a rawp teh longkhanaw hmai koung a kak telah a dei awh.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and I mourned certain days, —and continued fasting and praying, before the God of the heavens;
Hote lawk ka thai navah ka tahung teh ka kâ. A hnin moikasawlah ka lung a mathoe teh rawcahai lahoi kalvan kaawm Cathut koe ka ratoum e teh,
5 and said, I beseech thee, O Yahweh God of the heavens, the great and fearful GOD, —keeping the covenant and lovingkindness for them who love him and keep his commandments:
Oe kalvan kaawm e Jehovah Cathut, kalen ni teh takikatho poung e Cathut, nang lungpataw niteh, na kâpoelawknaw ka tarawi e lathueng vah, lawkkam na kuep sak teh lungmanae kamnueksakkung,
6 Let, I pray thee, thine ears be attentive and thine eyes open—to hearken unto the prayer of thy servant—which, I, am praying before thee now, day and night, for the sons of Israel, thy servants, —and making confession concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have committed against thee, both I and the house of my father, have sinned.
Isarelnaw hanelah, na hmalah amom tangmin ka ratoum teh Isarelnaw lah kaawm e kaimouh ni ka sakpayon e yonnaw ka pâpho awh teh ka kâhei awh e naw hah sahnin na thai pouh haw.
7 We have dealt, very corruptly, against thee, —and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes nor the regulations, which thou didst command Moses thy servant.
Kai hoi ka miphunnaw ni ka payon awh toe. Cathut nang koe ka yon awh teh, panuetthopounge hno ka sakpayon awh toe. Na san Mosi koe na poe e kâpoelawknaw, phunglawknaw, lawkcengnaenaw ka tarawi awh hoeh toe.
8 Remember, I pray thee, the word, which thou didst command Moses thy servant, saying, —If, ye, are unfaithful, I, will scatter you among the peoples:
Na san Mosi koevah yuemkamcu lah na awm awh hoehpawiteh miphun pueng kâkapek sak han.
9 When ye return unto me and keep my commandments and do them, though it should be that ye have been driven out unto the uttermost part of the heavens, from thence, will I gather them, and bring them into the place that I have chosen to make a habitation for my Name there.
Hatei kai koe bout na ban awh teh kâpoelawknaw bout na tarawi awh pawiteh kalvan rahim ahla poungnae koe pâlei e lah na o awh nakunghai, hote hmuen koehoi bout na pâkhueng vaiteh ka min o nahan ka rawi e hmuen koe na ceikhai han telah Mosi koe lawk na poe e hah pahnim hanh lah.
10 They, therefore, are thy servants, and thy people, —whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy firm hand.
Atuvah taminaw teh kalenpounge na thaonae hoi karang poung e na kut hoi na ratang e taminaw doeh.
11 I beseech thee O My Lord, let—I pray thee—thine ear be attentive unto the prayer of thy servant, and unto the prayer of thy servants who delight to revere thy Name, and oh prosper, I pray thee, thy servant to-day, and grant him compassion before this man. Now, I, was cup-bearer unto the king.
Oe BAWIPA na san ni ratoumnae hoi na min ka bari e na sannaw ratoumnae lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Na san heh sahnin yawhawinae poe haw. Hete tami hmalah minhmai kahawi na hmawt sak haw telah ka ratoum. Hatnavah kai teh siangpahrang e manang kuenkung lah ka o.
