Nihemaia 4
1 Sa: naba: la: de da ninia Yu dunu da moilai gagosu gagobe amo nababeba: le, e da ninima ougili bagadewane lasogole oufesega: su.
And it came to pass, when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, that it displeased him, and he became very angry, and he mocked at the Jews.
2 E da ea dogolegei dunu odagiaba, amola Samelia dadi gagui dunu odagiaba, amane sia: i, “Goe Yu hahaninisi dunu da adi hamosala: ? Ilia da moilai bu hahamomusa: dawa: bela: ? Ilia Godema gobele salasu hamobeba: le, eso afae amoga hawa: hamosu dagomusa: dawa: bela: ? Amola, ilia da isu laluga nei amoga diasu gagusu gele noga: i hamomusa: dawa: bela: ?”
And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will people suffer them [to build]? will they sacrifice? will they complete it in one day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish, seeing that they have been burnt?
3 Doubaia amola da Sa: naba: la: de dafulili lelu. E amane sia: i, “Mae dawa: ma! Ilia gagoi noga: i gagomu da hamedei! Fogisi fonobahadi da ilia gagoi amo fuli fasimusa: defele ba: mu,” e oufesega: ne amane sia: i.
And Tobiyah the 'Ammonite was near him, and he said, Even what they are building, if a fox were to run up, he would readily break through their stone wall.
4 Amo sia: nababeba: le, na da Godema sia: ne gadoi amane, “Gode! Dia ilia oufesega: su nabima! Ilia oufesega: su amo ilima sinidigima! Di da eno dunu ilia liligi wamolama: ne yolesima. Amola ha lai dunu da ili se dabe hamoma: ne, sedaga sogega oule masa: ma.
Hear, O our God! how we are become a scorn; and bring their reproach back upon their own head, and give them up for prey in the land of captivity.
5 Ilia wadela: i hou mae gogolema: ne olofoma. Bai ilia da ninia moilai gagosu hawa: hamonanoba, ilia da ninima lasogole oufesega: lala.”
And cover not up their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have taunted [us] in the presence of the builders.
6 Amalalu, ninia da gagoi amo bu gagolalu. Fonobahadi hedolowane ninia da gagolalu damana yolei defei amoga doaga: i. Bai dunu ilia da hawa: hamomu hanai galu.
But we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together up to the half thereof; for the people had a heart to work.
7 Sa: naba: la: de, Doubaia, A:la: be soge dunu, A:mone soge dunu amola A: siedode soge dunu da ninia hehenane Yelusaleme gagoi gagolalebe amola dibi amo gagoi ganodini nini ga: simusa: ahoanebe amo nababeba: le, ilia da ougi bagade ba: i.
And it came to pass, when Sanballat and Tobiyah, and the Arabians, and the 'Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were restored, and that the breaches began to be closed up, that it displeased them greatly.
8 Amaiba: le, ilia da Yelusaleme amoga doagala: musa: amola ninia hawa: hamoi wadela: musa: sia: dasu.
And they conspired all of them together to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to do it an injury.
9 Be ninia da ninia Godema sia: ne gadosu. Amola ninia da eso amola gasi ganodini, sosodo aligisu dunu ili liligi noga: le ouligima: ne, ilegei dagoi.
But we prayed unto our God, and set a watch over them day and night, because of the others.
10 Yuda dunu da agoane gesami hea: su, “Ninia gisasu liligi da dioi bagade, amola gisabeba: le ninia da gasa hamedesa. Wadela: i isu ninia gisawene, gaguli ahoa da gilisidafa. Amaiba: le, ninia da moilai gagoi wali eso habodane gaguma: bela: ?”
And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of the burden is failing, and there is much rubbish; and we are not able to build on the wall.
11 Ninima ha lai dunu da sia: dasu amo ninia Yu dunu da ilia hamobe da hame dawa: iyale ilia dawa: i. Ilia da ninima hedolo doagala: loba, nini huluane medole legele amola ninia hawa: hamosu hedofamusa: dawa: i.
And our adversaries said, “They shall not know, nor see until we come in the midst of them, and slay them, and so stop the work.”
12 Be eso bagohame amoga, Yu dunu amo da ninia ha lai dunu gilisisu ganodini esalu, amo da ninima misini, amo ha lai sia: dasu ninima sisasu olelei.
And it came to pass, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they said unto us ten times, “From all places whence ye may return home [they intend to come] over us.”
13 Amaiba: le na da dunu ilima gegesu gobihei, goge agei amola dadi, amo gegesu liligi ilima i. Amola ilia fi afae afae amo gagoi hame gagoi dagoi sogebi amoga sosodo aligima: ne sia: i.
I placed therefore on the lower parts of the place on the naked rocks behind the wall—there I placed the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14 Na ba: loba da dunu da bagadewane da: i dioi. Amaiba: le, na da ilia ouligisu dunu amola ouligisu hina dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia ha lai dunu amoba: le mae beda: ma. Hina Gode da gasa bagadedafa amola osobo bagade dunu huluane da ema beda: sa. Amo dawa: sea, dilia fi dunu, dilia mano, dilia uda amola dilia diasu amo gaga: ma: ne gegema.”
And I looked [about], and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: think on the Lord, the great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15 Fa: no, ninia ha lai dunu da ninia da ilia doagala: musa: sia: dasu nabi dagoi, amo ilia da nabi. Gode da ilia wadela: i logo ga: i dagoi, amo ilia da dawa: i. Amalalu, ninia huluane da gagoi bu gagomusa: , amoga buhagi.
And it came to pass, that, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, God frustrated their counsel: and we returned, all of us, to the wall, every one unto his work.
16 Amo esoga amola fa: no, na hawa: hamosu dunu eno dogoa mogili da gegesu liligi gaguli amola da: igene ga: ne, ninia ha lai dunu mabeale sosodo ouligili oulelu, amola eno mogili da gagoi gagomusa: hawa: hamosu. Amola ouligisu dunu da dunu huluane bagadewane fuligala: su.
And it came to pass from that day forth, that the half of my young men wrought at the work, while the other half of them were holding the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the princes stood behind all the house of Judah.
17 Be hawa: hamonanu dunu amola liligi gaguli ahoasu dunu da agoane hamosu. Ilia da lobo la: idi amoga dadi gagui amola lobo eno la: idi amoga hawa: hamosu.
Those that built on the wall, and those that bore burdens, with those that loaded, —every one with one of his hands wrought on the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18 Amola dunu da gagosu hawa: hamonoba, ilia huluane gegesu gobihei bagade bulua salawane hawa: hamonanu. Amola dunu amo da “biugale” wele sia: su liligi ouligisu da ani dafulili aligi.
And the builders had every one his sword fastened around his loins while they were building; and he that blew the cornet stood alongside of me.
19 Na da dunu amola ilia ouligisu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia hawa: hamosu sogebi da bagadedafa amola dilia hisu hisuya hawa: hamonana.
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and extensive, and we are separated upon the wall, distant one from another.
20 Dilia ‘biugale’ wele sia: su nabasea, nama gilisila misa. Amola ninia Gode da nini fidili gegemu,” na amane sia: i.
In what place [then] ye hear the sound of the cornet, thither must ye assemble unto us: our God will fight for us.
21 Amaiba: le, eso huluane hadigibi galu, dunu mogili da hawa: hamonanea, mogili da gegemusa: oulelu. Amalalu, daeya gasili gasumuni aligibiba: le fisi.
So we labored at the work, while the half of them were holding the spears from the rising of the morning-dawn till the stars appeared.
22 Amo esoga, ouligisu dunu amo da Yelusaleme moilai amo ganodini ouligilaleawane hadigima: ne na da sia: i dagoi. Bai ninia da gilisili esoga hawa: hamomu amola gasia moilai amo sosodo aligimusa: dawa: i.
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his young man lodge within Jerusalem, so that they may be in the night a guard to us, and during the day for the labor.
23 Na, na ouligisu dunu, dadi gagui dunu amola hawa: hamosu dunu, ninia golaloba, abula sali mae gisa: le amowane golasu amola ninia dadi amola gegesu liligi loboga gaguiwane golasu.
And neither I, nor my brothers, nor my young men, nor the men of the guard who followed me—none of us took off our clothes, no one leaving them off even for washing himself.
