1Huan huchi ahia, kulhbang ka lamkhina, huaiah khangkham a om nawnta kei chih, Sanballat leh Tobia leh, Gesem Arabia mi leh, i melma dangdangte kianga a kitut laiin; (huai hun tanin leng kongpi kongkhakte tung nai kei mahleng; )
1Now it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)
2Sanballat leh Gesemin ka kiangah mi a honsawl ua, Hongpaiin, Ona phaijanga khuate laka khat ah kimuh khawmna i nei ding, chiin. Himahleh ka tunga gilou hih a ngaihtuah ua.
2That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
3Huchiin a kiang uah sawltakte ka sawla, Na thupi ka sep lai ahia, huchiin ka hongpai suk theikei: bangdia ka nut siata, na kiang ua ka hong suk jiaka, nasep khawl ding ahi oi? Ka chi a.
3And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
4Huan hichibang ngenin li vei ka kiangah mi a honsawl ua; huan a ngeingeiin amaute ka dawng jel hi.
4Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
5Huan Sanballatin ka kiangah hichibangin a ngaveina dingin a sikha a khuta laikhak honsa toh a honsawla;
5Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6Huaiah, Namte lak ah a kigena, Gasmuin a chi a, nang leh Judaten hel na tum uh; huai adingin kulhbang na lam hi: huchiin nang a kumpipa uh hi dingin, hiai thute dungjuiin,
6Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
7Jerusalema nang tanchin gen dingin jawlneite leng na sepa, Juda ah kumpipa a om, chiin: huchiin tuin hiai thute dungjuiin kumpipa kianga tut ding ahi; Hucaijiakin hongkuan inla, kihouna i nei ding, chiin.
7And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
8A kiangah mi ka sawla, Na gen banga huchibang thil hih a om keia, himahleh na lungtang akipan na lawmtawm ahi, chiin.
8Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
9Amau lah, Hih louh a hihna dingin, nasepna akipan a khutte uh hatlouhsakin a om ding, chia honlausak a ut chiat ngal ua. Himahleh tuin Aw Pathian, nang ka khutte hatsakin.
9For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
10Khuma om, Mehetabel tapa Delai tapa Semai in ah ka hoha; huan aman, Biakin sungah, Pathian in ah i kikhawm dia, huchiin biakin kongkhakte i khak ding: nang that dia hong ding uh lah ahi ngal ua; ahi, janin nang that ding a hong ding uh, a chi a.
10Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
11Huan ken, Mi kei bang a tai ding maw? Huan kua ahia, huchia om kei bang, a hinna humbitna dia biakin sunga hoh nuam ding? Ka lut kei ding, ka chi a.
11And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
12Huan ka ngaihtuaha, huchiin, ngaiin, Pathianin amah a sawl keia; himahleh ka siatna dingin hiai genkholhna a genkheta hi: Tobia leh Sanballatin amah a guai uh.
12And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13Hiai adinga goih ahi, ka launa ding leh, huchi banga hiha, khiala, thutut gilou dinga thubuai a neih theihna ding ua, kei a honsimmoh theihna ding un.
13Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14Aw ka Pathian, Tobia leh Sanballat hiai nasepte uh bangjel leh jawlneinu Noadi leh, jawlnei dangte, lausak hontumte, theigige in.
14My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
15Huchiin Elul kha ni sawmnih leh ni nganiin kulh bang zohin a omta hi, ni sawmnga leh nihin.
15So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
16Huan hichi ahi a, i melmate tengtengin huai a jak un, i kim i vel ua om khovelmi tengteng a lauta ua, a mitmuh ngei uah nakpi takin a lunglelta uhi: hiai nasep lah i Pathian uh hih ahi chih a thei ngal ua.
16And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
17Huailouin huai laiin Juda milianten laikhak tampi Tobia kiangah a khak ua, amau kiangah Tobia laikhakte a hongtung hi.
17Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
18Amah Arah tapa Sekania tanu pasal a hih jiakin, Juda ah mi tampi amah lama kichiam lah a om ngal ua; huan a tapa Jehohananin Berekia tapa Mesulam tanu jiin a nei hi.Huailou leng ka maah a thil hoih hihte a gen ua, amah kiangah ka thute a tun jel uhi. Huchiin Tobiain laikhakte kei honlausak dingin a khak hi.
18For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
19Huailou leng ka maah a thil hoih hihte a gen ua, amah kiangah ka thute a tun jel uhi. Huchiin Tobiain laikhakte kei honlausak dingin a khak hi.
19Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
