Esela 4
1 Yuda fi dunu amola Bediamini fi dunu ilia ha lai dunu da mugululi asi dunu da buhagili, Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu gagubi nabi.
Now the enemies of Juda and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple to the Lord the God of Israel.
2 Amaiba: le, ilia da Selubabele amola Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu ilima asili, amane adole ba: i, “Ninia amola da Debolo diasu gagumusa: fidimu da defeala: ? Ninia Godema sia: ne gadosu da dilia Godema sia: ne gadosu amo defele sia: ne gadosa. Amola Asilia hina bagade Isaha: done da sia: beba: le ninia guiguda: misi, amo fa: no ninia da Godema gobele salasu hou huluane hamonana.”
And they came to Zorobabel, and the chief of the fathers, and said to them: Let us build with you, for we seek your God as ye do: behold we have sacrificed to him, since the days of Asor Haddan king of Assyria, who brought us hither.
3 Selubabele, Yosiua amola Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu da ilima amane adole i, “Ninia da Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu gagusia, eno fidisu dunu hame lamu. Ninisu amo Besia hina bagade Sailase amo ea sia: i defele, gagumu.”
But Zorobabel, and Josue, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel said to them: You have nothing to do with us to build a house to our God, but we ourselves alone will build to the Lord our God, as Cyrus king of the Persians hath commanded us.
4 Amalalu, dunu da musa: Isala: ili sogega esalu da Yu dunu beda: ma: ne gasa fi hamosu. Ilia da Yu dunu ilia Debolo gagumu hawa: hamosu hedofamusa: dawa: i galu.
Then the people of the land hindered the hands of the people of Juda, and troubled them in building.
5 Ilia da Besia eagene dunu amo Yu dunu ilia Debolo gagusu hawa: hamosu hedofama: ne, hano suligili muni ilima i. Amo hou ilia da Sailase ea Besia soge ouligisia amola fa: no Da: liase da Besia soge ouligisia, amo esoha ilia da mae fisili hamosu.
And they hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their design all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
6 Hina bagade amo Segesisi da Besia ouligisu hou lai dagoi. Ea ouligisu degabo laloba, dunu amo Yuda soge amola Yelusaleme ganodini esalu, ilima ha lai dunu da ilima fofada: musa: meloa dedene i.
And in the reign of Assuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Juda and Jerusalem.
7 Fa: no, hina bagade eno amo Adasegesisi da Besia soge ouligisia, ha lai dunu amo Bisila: me, Mililida: de amola Da: ibia: le ilia da Adasegesisima meloa dedene i. Amo meloa ilia da A: lama: ia: ge sia: ga dedei. Idisia, ilia da bu Besia sia: amoga afadenema: ne sia: i.
And in the days of Artaxerxes, Beselam, Mithridates, and Thabeel, and the rest that were in the council wrote to Artaxerxes king of the Persians: and the letter of accusation was written in Syriac, and was read in the Syrian tongue.
8 Amola eagene hina dunu amo Lihame amola soge dedesu dunu amo Simisai, ela da Adasegesisi ema Yelusaleme ea hou olelemusa: meloa dedene i, amane,
Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe wrote a letter from Jerusalem to king Artaxerxes, in this manner:
9 “Lihame (eagene hina dunu), Simisai (soge dedesu dunu), ela fidisu dunu, fofada: su dunu amola ouligisu dunu eno huluane (amo huluane da musa: Ila: me soge moilai bai bagade amo Ilege, Ba: bilone amola Susa amoga misi) amola
Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe and the rest of their counsellors, the Dinites, and the Apharsathacites, the Therphalites, the Apharsites, the Erchuites, the Babylonians, the Susanechites, the Dievites, and the Elamites,
10 dunu eno amo gasa bagade hina Asoba: niba: le da ilia moilaia mugululi, ilia da Samelia moilai bai bagade amola eno sogebi Guma: dini Iufala: idisi Soge amo ganodini fima: ne oule asi, da amo meloa dedene iaha.”
And the rest of the nations, whom the great and glorious Asenaphar brought over: and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria and in the rest of the countries of this side of the river in peace.
11 Ilia da meloa agoane dedene i, “Ninia da di, hina bagade Adasegesisi, ninia da dia hawa: hamosu dunu Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge amo ganodini esala, dima meloa dedene iaha.
(This is the copy of the letter, which they sent to him: ) To Artaxerxes the king, thy servants, the men that are on this side of the river, send greeting.
12 Hina bagade! Di da Yelusaleme amoma doaga: i hou dawa: mu da defea. Yu dunu da dia soge eno amoga misini, Yelusaleme amo ganodini fili, ilia amo wadela: i amola hame nabasu moilai bai bagade amo bu gagulala. Ilia amo moilai bai bagade gagoi gagulala amola ea gagui da gadenenewane dagomu ba: sa.
Be it known to the king, that the Jews, who came up from thee to us, are come to Jerusalem a rebellious and wicked city, which they are building, setting up the ramparts thereof and repairing the walls.
13 Hina bagade! Amo moilai bu gagusia amola amoea gagoi dagosea, Yu fi dunu da dima su muni iasu hou fisimu, amola dia su labe da ebelemu agoai ba: mu.
And now be it known to the king, that if this city be built up, and the walls thereof repaired, they will not pay tribute nor toll, nor yearly revenues, and this loss will fail upon the kings.
14 Di da nini huluane ouligisa. Amaiba: le, agoai hou doaga: mu ninia higa: i ba: mu. Ninia agoane dawa: ,
But we remembering the salt that we have eaten in the palace, and because we count it a crime to see the king wronged, have therefore sent and certified the king,
15 di da dia fidisu dunu ilima ilia meloa dedei dia aowalali ilia dedei, amo ganodini hogoma: ne sia: ma. Di agoane hamosea, Yelusaleme soge dunu da eso huluane mae fisili, hame nabasu hou hamosu di da ba: mu. Ilia gasa fi hou hamobeba: le, hina bagade amola soge ouligisu dunu da se bagade nabi amola ili ouligimu gasa bagade ba: i. Amaiba: le, amo moilai bai bagade da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: i.
That search may be made in the books of the histories of thy fathers, and thou shalt find written in the records: and shalt know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to the kings and provinces, and that wars were raised therein of old time: for which cause also the city was destroyed.
16 Amaiba: le ninia da agoane dawa: Ilia da amo moilai bai bagade amola ea gagoi bu gagusia, di hina bagade, da Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge ouligimu hamedeiwane ba: mu.” Ilia da amo meloa Adasegesisi ema dedene i.
We certify the king, that if this city be built, and the walls thereof repaired, thou shalt have no possession on this side of the river.
17 Adasegesisi da ilima dabe meloa amane dedene i, “Dilia! Lihame (eagene hina dunu), Simisai (soge dedesu dunu) amola ela fidisu dunu Samelia soge amola Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge amo ganodini esala. Asigi sia: sia: sa!
The king sent word to Reum Beelteem and Samsai the scribe, and to the rest that were in their council, inhabitants of Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, sending greeting and peace.
18 Dilia nama meloa dedene iasi amo na sia: alofele iasu dunu da afadenene, nama idili i.
The accusation, which you have sent to us, hath been plainly read before me,
19 Na sia: beba: le, na fidisu dunu da aowalali ilia meloa dedei amo hogolala ba: i. Dafawane! Musa: amola amo fa: no, Yelusaleme fi dunu da hina bagade ilia sia: hame nabasu, amola amo ganodini hame nabasu dunu amola nimi bagade dunu bagohame ba: su.
And I commanded: and search hath been made, and it is found, that this city of old time hath rebelled against kings, and seditions and wars have been raised therein.
20 Gasa bagade Ba: bilone hina dunu da Yelusaleme amola Guma: dini Iufala: idisi soge huluane ouligisu. Ilia da su (da: gisi) muni amo dunuma lasu.
For there have been powerful kings in Jerusalem, who hare had dominion over all the country that is beyond the river: and have received tribute, and toll and revenues.
21 Amaiba: le, amo dunuma ilia Yelusaleme bu gagusu go fisima: ne sia: ma. Na da bu gaguma: ne sia: sea fawane, ilima bu gaguma: ne sia: ma.
Now therefore hear the sentence: Hinder those men, that this city be not built, till further orders be given by me.
22 Ilia da na hou bu wadela: sa: besa: le, amo sia: hedolo adoma!” Adasegesisi da amo meloa dedene iasi.
See that you be not negligent in executing this, lest by little and little the evil grow to the hurt of the kings.
23 Sia: alofele iasu dunu da amo meloa Lihame amola Simisai amola ela fidisu dunu ilima idili i. Ilia da Yelusalemega hedolo asili, Yu dunu ilia moilai bai bagade gagusu logo hedofai dagoi.
Now the copy of the edict of king Artaxerxes was read before Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe, and their counsellors: and they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and hindered them with arm and power.
24 Debolo diasu bu gagusu logo da hedofaiba: le, ilia da hame hawa: hamosu. Amalalu, hina bagade eno ea dio amo Da: liase da Besia soge ouligisu hou lai. E da ode aduna ouligilalu,
Then the work of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem was interrupted, and ceased till the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
