1The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the fortress,
1Hakalia tapa Nehemia thute. Kisleu kha, kum sawmnihna kuma, Susan inpia ka omin, hichi a honghi a.
2that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and [certain] men of Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
2Hanania, ka unaute laka khat, a honga, amah leh Juda akipan mi kua te hiam; amaute kiangah saltanna akipana nutsiata omte, Juda suaktate tanchin leh Jerusalem thu ka donga.
3And they said to me, Those who remain, that are left of the captivity there in the province, are in great affliction and reproach; and the wall of Jerusalem is in ruins, and its gates are burned with fire.
3Huan amau ka kiangah, Huai lai biala saltanna akipan omlaite gimthuakna thupi thuak leh simmohin a om uh: Jerusalem kulhbangte leng a chima, huan huai a kongpite leng meiin a kang, a chi ua.
4And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat and wept, and mourned for days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of the heavens,
4Huan hichi ahi a, hiai thute ka jak laiin, ka tua ka kapa, ni bangzah hiam ka suna; huan van Pathian maah an ka ngawla ka thuma.
5and said, I beseech thee, Jehovah, God of the heavens, the great and terrible ùGod, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and keep his commandments.
5Aw TOUPA, van Pathian, Pathian thupi leh lauhuai, amah ita a thupiakte juite tunga thukhun theigige leh chitna nei gige:
6Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, confessing the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
6Tuin na bilin honhungaih henla, na mitte hong kihong hen, huchia na sikha thumna, huai huna, sun leh jana, na sikhate Israel tate a dia, nangmah tunga ka hihkhelh uh, Israel tate khelhna thupha tawi kawma, ka thumna non ngaihkhiak sak theihna din: ahi, kei leh ka pa inkote ka khialta uhi.
7We have acted very perversely against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances that thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
7Thanghuaitakin na tungah ka gamta ta ua, na thupiakte ka juita kei ua, na sikha Mosi kianga na thupiak, thusehte, leh vaihawmte.
8Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye act unfaithfully, I will scatter you among the peoples;
8Theigigein, ka honngen ahi, na sikha Mosi kianga thu na piak, Na tatlek uhlehm mite lakah ka honthehjak ding:
9but if ye return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heavens, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
9Himahleh ka kianga na hongkik ua, ka thupiakte na zuih ua na hih uleh, delhkhiaka na omna uh van tawp mun pekah himahleh, huai akipanin amau te ka kaikhawm dinga, huan ka min tenna dia ka mun telsa ah amau ka pi khawm ding, chiin.
10And they are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power and by thy strong hand.
10Tuin hiaite, na thilhihtheihna thupi leh, na ban hata na tatsa, na sikhate leh na mite ahi uh.Aw TOUPA, ka honngen ahi, na min laudansiam nuamsa, na sikha thumna leh, na sikhate thumna na bilin hungaih hen: ka honngen ahi, tuniin na sikha lohchingsak inla, hiai mi mitmuhin a kiangah chitna piain. (Kei bel kumpipa dawndingpepa ka hi. )
11O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who delight to fear thy name; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was the king's cupbearer.
11Aw TOUPA, ka honngen ahi, na min laudansiam nuamsa, na sikha thumna leh, na sikhate thumna na bilin hungaih hen: ka honngen ahi, tuniin na sikha lohchingsak inla, hiai mi mitmuhin a kiangah chitna piain. (Kei bel kumpipa dawndingpepa ka hi. )
