Nehemiah 4
1 But it came to pass, when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, it angered him, and he was greatly displeased, —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 spake before his brethren, and the army of Samaria, and said, What are, these feeble Jews, doing? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they bring to life the stones out of the heaps of dust, when, they, have been burned up?
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 beside him, —so he said, Even that which they are building, if a fox should go up, he would 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 have become a contempt, and turn thou back their reproach upon their own head, —and give them up as 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 do not cover their iniquity, and, their sin before thee, let it not be blotted out, —for they have caused vexation before them who are building.
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 we built the wall, and all the wall was finished unto the half thereof, —and 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, when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem had gone up, that the breaches began to be stopped, that it angered them exceedingly;
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 they conspired, all of them together, to come, to fight against Jerusalem, —and to cause it harm;
Hijeh chun amaho hin Jerusalem hindel khuma kisatpia suhboi dingin agong tauvin ahi.
9 howbeit we prayed unto 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 Then said Judah, The strength of the burden-bearer faileth, and, the rubbish, aboundeth, —and, we, are not able to build at 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 have said, They shall not know, neither shall they see, until we come into their midst, and slay them, —so shall we 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 But it came to pass, when the Jews dwelling near them came in, then said they unto us, ten times, From all places whither ye shall turn, [they will be] upon us!
Hitia melmate toh cheng khom Judah ho ahungun avel vel in ahung seiyun, “Muntin a kona hunguva eihung delkhum diu ahi,” atiuve.
13 So I set—on the lower slopes of the place behind the wall in the waste grounds, —yea I set the people, by 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 Then I looked and rose up, and said—unto the nobles and unto the deputies and unto the rest of the people, Do not ye fear because of them, —the great and fearful Lord, remember ye, so shall ye fight for your brethren, 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 that God had overturned their counsel, then returned we, all of us, unto the wall, every man unto 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 day, the half of my young men, were working in the work, and, the half of them, were grasping the spears, the bucklers, and the bows, and the coats of mail, —but, 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 who were building at the wall and they who were carrying burdens, they who were lifting, [each man], with his one hand, was working at the work, and, with the other, was grasping the weapon.
Chule natong hochun akhut langkhat in athilpoh’u chu atuh’un, chuleh akhut langkhat in manchah akichoi’un ahi.
18 Even they who were building, every man, had his sword girded upon his loins, and so was building, —and, he that sounded the horn, was by my side.
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 So I said unto the nobles and unto the deputies, and unto the rest of the people, The work, is great and large, —and, we, are separated upon the wall, far away, each man from his brother:
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 soever ye shall hear the sound of the horn, thither, gather yourselves unto us, —our God, will 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, were working at the work, —one half of them, grasping the spears, from the uprisings of the dawn, until the coming out of the stars.
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 Moreover, at that time, I said to the people, Let, every one with his young man, lodge for the night in the midst of Jerusalem, —so shall they serve us, in the night, as a watch, and, the day, for work.
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 brethren, nor my young men, nor the men of the watch that followed me, none of us, put off our clothes, —every one [went] with his weapon to the water.
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.
