Nehemiah 2
1 And it cometh to pass, in the month of Nisan, the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, wine [is] before him, and I lift up the wine, and give to the king, and I had not been sad before him;
Siangpahrang Artaxerxes bawi kum 20, Nisan thapa nah misurtui ka la teh, siangpahrang hah ka poe. Ha hoehnahlan teh, a hmalah ka minhmai mathout boihoeh.
2 and the king saith to me, 'Wherefore [is] thy face sad, and thou not sick? this is nothing except sadness of heart;' and I fear very much,
Siangpahrang ni bangkongmaw na minhmai a mathoe. Patawnae hai na tawn hoeh. Alouke bang mahoeh, na lungthung hoi lungmathoe e doeh kaawm telah na ti pouh.
3 and say to the king, 'Let the king to the age live! wherefore should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of the graves of my fathers, [is] a waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?'
Kai ni hai siangpahrang na hringsaw seh. Ka mintoenaw onae khopui a rawk teh longkhanaw hmai koung a kak navah, minhmai mathout laipalah bangtelamaw ka o thai han telah ka ti pouh.
4 And the king saith to me, 'For what art thou seeking?' and I pray unto the God of the heavens,
Siangpahrang ni bangmaw hei han na ngai telah na pacei. Hahoi, kalvan kaawm e Cathut koe ka ratoum.
5 and say to the king, 'If to the king [it be] good, and if thy servant be pleasing before thee, that thou send me unto Judah, unto the city of the graves of my fathers, and I built it.'
Siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang na lungkuep boilah, na san ni minhmai kahawi kahmawt pawiteh, ka mintoenaw onae khopui bout ka pathout thai nahanelah, Judah kho ka cei thai nahanlah ka kâhei telah ka ti pouh.
6 And the king saith to me (and the queen is sitting near him), 'How long is thy journey? and when dost thou return?' and it is good before the king, and he sendeth me away, and I set to him a time.
Siangpahrangnu hai ateng vah a tahung teh, siangpahrang ni nâyittouh maw na ro han. Nâtuek maw bout na ban han telah na pacei. Hahoi kai ni atueng ka khoe teh, siangpahrang ni lunghawicalah na cei sak.
7 And I say to the king, 'If to the king [it be] good, letters let be given to me for the governors beyond the River, that they let me pass over till that I come in unto Judah:
Hahoi siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang na lungkuep pawiteh tui namran lah kaawm e lawkcengkungnaw ka kâhmo nah Judah ram totouh ka cei thai nahanlah ca na thun pouh haw.
8 and a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the paradise that the king hath, that he give to me trees for beams [for] the gates of the palace that the house hath, and for the wall of the city, and for the house into which I enter;' and the king giveth to me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Siangpahrang e ratu ka ring e Asaph koe, Bawkim longkha hoi longkha khomnaw hane, khorapan hoi ka o nahane im han lah thing na poe nahane hoi kâpoenae ca hai na poe nahanelah ka hei e patetlah, Cathut pahren lahoi Siangpahrang ni kai koe na poe.
9 And I come in unto the governors beyond the River, and give to them the letters of the king; and the king sendeth with me heads of a force, and horsemen;
Hahoi tui namran lah kaawm e khobawinaw koe ka pha teh siangpahrang koe e ca hah ka poe. Hahoi siangpahrang ni kai koevah ransabawi hoi marangransanaw hah a tha.
10 and Sanballat the Horonite heareth, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and it is evil to them — a great evil — that a man hath come in to seek good for the sons of Israel.
Isarel miphunnaw hanlah hnokahawi ka sak hane tami buet touh a tho tie Horon tami Sanballat hoi Ammon tami san lah kaawm e Tobiahnaw ni a thai awh navah puenghoi a lungkhuek awh.
11 And I come in unto Jerusalem, and I am there three days,
Hahoi Jerusalem vah ka pha teh hnin thum touh hawvah ka o.
12 and I rise by night, I and a few men with me, and have not declared to a man what my God is giving unto my heart to do for Jerusalem, and there is no beast with me except the beast on which I am riding.
Tangmin vah ka thaw teh kama koe ka hrawi e tami tangawn hoi Jerusalem hanelah Cathut ni ka lungthin dawk na poe e hah alouke tami api koehai ka dei pouh hoeh. Ka kâcuie marang hloilah saring alouke banghai ka sin hoeh.
13 And I go out through the gate of the valley by night, and unto the front of the fountain of the dragon, and unto the gate of the dunghill, and I am measuring about the walls of Jerusalem, that are broken down, and its gates consumed with fire.
Hat hnin tangmin vah, ayawn longkha koehoi ka tâco teh khorui longkha hoi vaipuen longkha koe lah ka cei. Jerusalem rapan ka rawk e hoi longkha ka kang e naw hah ka khet.
14 And I pass over unto the gate of the fountain, and unto the pool of the king, and there is no place for the beast under me to pass over,
Tuikhu longkha koehoi siangpahrang tuiim totouh ka cei hatei, ka kâcuie marang a cei nahan lamthung awmhoeh.
15 and I am going up through the brook by night, and am measuring about the wall, and turn back, and come in through the gate of the valley, and turn back.
Hahoi tangmin vah palang kahrawng teh rapannaw ka khet. Hahoi bout ka ban teh ayawn longkha dawk hoi bout ka kâen.
16 And the prefects have not known whither I have gone, and what I am doing; and to the Jews, and to the priests, and to the freemen, and to the prefects, and to the rest of those doing the work, hitherto I have not declared [it];
Ka lawkcengkungnaw ni nâmaw ka cei tie hoi bangmaw ka sak tie panuek awh hoeh. Judahnaw, vaihmabawinaw, lawkcengkungnaw, hoi alouke thaw katawkkungnaw koe banghai ka dei pouh hoeh rah.
17 and I say unto them, 'Ye are seeing the evil that we are in, in that Jerusalem [is] waste, and its gates have been burnt with fire; come and we build the wall of Jerusalem, and we are not any more a reproach.'
Hahoi teh ahnimouh koevah maimouh ni khang e roedengnae Jerusalem a rawk e, kho longkha hmai kakangnaw hai na hmu awh toe tho awh haw pathoenae dawk hoi hlout nahanelah Jerusalem khopui teh bout sak lei sei telah ka dei pouh.
18 And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good upon me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, 'Let us rise, and we have built;' and they strengthen their hands for good.
Hahoi lathueng Cathut ahawinae hoi siangpahrang ni ca a thut e naw hah ka dei pouh teh, ahnimouh ni thâw awh vaiteh sak awh leih sei telah ati awh. Hahoi teh hote thaw kahawi tawk hanelah a kuttha ao sak awh.
19 And Sanballat the Horonite heareth, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, and they mock at us, and despise us, and say, 'What [is] this thing that ye are doing? against the king are ye rebelling?'
Hatnavah, Horon tami Sanballat san lah kaawm e Ammon miphun Tobiah, Arab tami Geshem tinaw ni a thai awh toteh na panuikhai awh teh na hnephnap awh. Hno na sak e naw heh bangmaw. Siangpahrang na taran awh e doeh khe telah na ti pouh awh.
20 And I return them word, and say to them, 'The God of the heavens — He doth give prosperity to us, and we His servants rise and have built; and to you there is no portion, and right, and memorial in Jerusalem.'
Hatnavah ahnimae lawk teh ka pathung; kalvan e Cathut ni kaimouh hanelah a kuep sak han. Hatdawkvah, Cathut e san lah kaawm e kaimouh ni ka thaw awh vaiteh ka sak awh han. Hatei, nangmouh teh Jerusalem e coe hane thoseh, kâtawn hane hai thoseh, pâkuem hane hai thoseh na tawn awh hoeh telah ka ti pouh.
