< Nihemaia 2 >
1 Oubi biyadu uduli, eso afaega hina bagade Adasegesisi da ea diasuga ha: i naha esaloba, na da waini ema gaguli misini iasu. Na da da: i dioiwane esalebe ba: i. Be e da musa: na hou amo ganodini fofagi hame ba: i.
And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, [that] wine [was] before him: and I took up the wine, and gave [it] to the king. Now I had not [before] been sad in his presence.
2 Amaiba: le, e da nama amane adole ba: i, “Di da abuliba: le da: i dioiwane ba: sala: ? Di da oloi hame. Amaiba: le di da hahawane hame ganabela: ?” Na da ea sia: nababeba: le, fofogadigi.
Wherefore the king said to me, Why [is] thy countenance sad, seeing thou [art] not sick? this [is] nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was very greatly afraid,
3 Na da ema bu adole i, “Hina bagade! Di eso huluane esalalalumu da defea. Moilai bai bagade amo ganodini na aowalali da bogole uli dogoi, amo da mugululi, wadela: lesi dagoi diala amola ea logo ga: su da laluga nei dagoi. Amaiba: le, na da da: i dioi.”
And said to the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchers, [lieth] waste, and its gates are consumed with fire?
4 Hina bagade da bu adole ba: i, “Di da adi hanai ganabela: ?” Na da Gode Hebene ganodini esala Ema sia: ne gadole,
Then the king said to me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
5 ema amane sia: i, “Di da na hahawane ba: sea amola na edegesu amo nama imunusa: dawa: sea, defea, na da Yuda soge ganodini moilaiga na aowalali da uli dogoi, amoga amo moilai mugului bu gagumusa: masa: ne, na logo doasima.”
And I said to the king, If it should please the king, and if thy servant hath found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldst send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchers, that I may build it.
6 Hina bagade ea uda da e dafulili esalebe ba: i. Adasegesisi da na edegei amo hahawane nabi. E da nama amane adole ba: i, “Di da habowali asili esaloma: bela: ? Amola habogala buhagima: bela: ?” Na da na hou hamomu ema adole i.
And the king said to me, (the queen also sitting by him, ) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
7 Amalalu, na da ema eno adole ba: i amo, e da Iufala: idisi Guma: dini Soge eagene ouligisu dunu ilima meloa dedene nama imunusa: edegei. Amo meloa ganodini, e da amo dunuma, na da Yuda sogega masa: ne logo doasima: ne e da sia: mu, na edegei.
Moreover, I said to the king, If it should please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah:
8 Na meloa dedei eno edegei. Amo da hina bagade ea ifa iwila ouligisu dunu A: isa: fema dedene ima: ne, na edegei. Amo meloa ganodini, e da A: isa: fe amoma e da ifa amo da logo ga: su gagoi dobea amo da Debolo diasu sisiga: sa, moilai bai bagade gagoi dobea amola diasu amo ganodini na da esalumu amo huluane gaguma: ne, e da amo nama ima: ne A: isa: fema adoma: ne, na da edegei. Gode da na noga: le fidibiba: le, na edegei huluane, hina bagade da nama i dagoi.
And a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which [appertained] to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
9 Adasegesisi da dadi gagui ouligisu dunu amola dadi gagui dunu gilisisu hosi amoga fila heda: i dunu, amo na fidila asunasi. Na da asili, Iufala: idisi Guma: dini Sogega doaga: i. Amalalu, na da hina bagade ea meloa dedei amo eagene ouligisu dunuma i.
Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
10 Be eagene dunu ea dio amo Sa: naba: la: de (e da moilai Bede Houlone amoga esalu) amola Doubaia (A: mone soge eagene ouligisu dunu) ela da dunu da Isala: ili dunu fidimusa: misi, amo sia: nababeba: le, mi hanai galu.
When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard [of it], it grieved them exceedingly that there had come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
11 Na da baligili asili, Yelusalemega doaga: i. Eso udiana ouesalu,
So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
12 Gode da nama Yelusaleme moilai amo fidima: ne sia: i, amo na dunu enoma hame adoi. Be gasimogoa, na da wa: legadole amola na fidisu dunu mogili oule asili, soge abodemusa: asi. Ohe afae amo dougi amoga na fila heda: i, ninia da amo fawane oule asi.
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I [any] man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither [was there any] beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
13 Be amo gasi da mae hagili dialobawane, na da moilai fisili, gagoi dobea logo ga: su amo ea dio da Fago Ga: su amoga guma: dini golili, gadili asili, Da: la: gone Hano bubuga: su amo baligili, Isu Salasu Logo Ga: su amoga doaga: i. Na da ahoana ba: loba, moilai gagoi dobea amo mugului amola logo ga: su laluga nei dagoi ba: i.
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon-well, and to the dung-port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and their gates were consumed with fire.
14 Amalalu, moilai ea eso mabe la: ididili, na da ganogoe (north) asili, Hano Bubuga: su Logo Ga: su amoga asili, hina bagade Wayabo amoga doaga: i. Be isu bagade dialebeba: le, dougi amoga na fila heda: i, da logo hame ba: beba: le, masunu gogolei.
Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but [there was] no place for the beast [that was] under me to pass.
15 Amaiba: le, na da Gidalone Fago amoga asili, gagoi dobea amo boba: la asi. Amalalu, na da buhagili, na musa: asi logoga amodili asili, Fago Logo Ga: su amoga moilaiga golili sa: i.
Then I went up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and [so] returned.
16 Yelusaleme eagene dunu amo ilia da na da habi asi, amola adi hamonana, ilia hame dawa: i. Amola na da na na: iyado Yu dunu, gobele salasu dunu amola hina dunu eno dunu ilia fa: no hawa: hamoma: ne amoma hame adosu.
And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told [it] to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
17 Be wali na da ilima amane sia: i, “Yelusaleme moilai da mugului dagoiba: le, amola ea logo ga: su da wadela: lesi dagoiba: le, ninia se bagade naba. Ninia da amo gogosiasu fisili, gagoi dobea mugului bu gagomu da defea.”
Then said I to them, Ye see the distress that we [are] in, how Jerusalem [lieth] waste, and its gates are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may be no more a reproach.
18 Amola Gode da na noga: le fidi amola hina bagade da nama asigiba: le fidi, nama na hanaiga hamoma: ne sia: i, amo amola na da ilima olelei. Amo sia: nababeba: le, ilia da amane nodone sia: i, “Ninia da bu buga: le muni hawa: hamola: di!” Amola ilia amo hawa: hamomusa: , liligi momagele ouesalu.
Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken to me. And they said, Let us rise and build. So they strengthened their hands for [this] good [work].
19 Be Sa: naba: la: de, Doubaia amola A: la: be dunu ea dio amo Giseme ilia da ninia hawa: hamomusa: sia: sa: i nabaloba, ilia da niniba: le oufesega: lu, amane sia: i, “Dia hamobe go da adi dawa: bela: ? Di da eagene hina bagade ea sia: mae nabawane, ema odoga: sala: ?”
But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard [it], they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What [is] this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?
20 Be na da bu adole i, “Hebene Gode da ninima gasa defele imunu. Ninia da Ea hawa: hamosu dunu. Amaiba: le, ninia da amo hawa: hamosu muni hamomu. Be Yelusaleme moilai amo ganodini, soge da dilima hame ilegei. Amola Isala: ili dunu ilia hou dilia hame dawa:”
Then I answered them, and said to them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
