1Now it happened, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;)
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; )
2that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm me.
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.
3I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?”
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.
4They sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them the same way.
4Huan hichibang ngenin li vei ka kiangah mi a honsawl ua; huan a ngeingeiin amaute ka dawng jel hi.
5Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
5Huan Sanballatin ka kiangah hichibangin a ngaveina dingin a sikha a khuta laikhak honsa toh a honsawla;
6in which was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.
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,
7You have also appointed prophets to preach of you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.”
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.
8Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart.”
8A kiangah mi ka sawla, Na gen banga huchibang thil hih a om keia, himahleh na lungtang akipan na lawmtawm ahi, chiin.
9For they all would have made us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done. But now, strengthen my hands.”
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.
10I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you; yes, in the night will they come to kill you.”
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.
11I said, “Should such a man as I flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”
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.
12I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
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.
13He hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
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.
14“Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.”
14Aw ka Pathian, Tobia leh Sanballat hiai nasepte uh bangjel leh jawlneinu Noadi leh, jawlnei dangte, lausak hontumte, theigige in.
15So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.
15Huchiin Elul kha ni sawmnih leh ni nganiin kulh bang zohin a omta hi, ni sawmnga leh nihin.
16It happened, when all our enemies heard of it, that all the nations that were about us were afraid, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was worked of our God.
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.
17Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them.
17Huailouin huai laiin Juda milianten laikhak tampi Tobia kiangah a khak ua, amau kiangah Tobia laikhakte a hongtung hi.
18For there were many in Judah sworn to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as wife.
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.
19Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
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.
