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.
But it came to pass that when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked 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 do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
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.
Now Tobiah the Ammonite [was] by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox should go up, he would even break down 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; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a 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 their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked [thee] to anger before 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.
So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half of it, for the people had a mind 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.
But it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were set up, [and] that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8 Amaiba: le, ilia da Yelusaleme amoga doagala: musa: amola ninia hawa: hamoi wadela: musa: sia: dasu.
And conspired all of them together to come [and] to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
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.
Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
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 burdens is decayed, and [there is] much rubbish; so that we are not able to build 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, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
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, that when the Jews who dwelt by them came, they said to us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return to us [they will be upon you].
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.
Therefore I set in the lower places behind the wall, [and] on the higher places, I even set 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, and arose, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be ye not afraid of them: remember the LORD [who is] 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, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to naught, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one to 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 time forth, [that] the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers [were] 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.
They who built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that laded, [every one] with one of his hands wrought in 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.
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and [so] built. And he that sounded the trumpet [was] by 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 to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work [is] great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far 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 [therefore] ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither to 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 in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning 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 to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labor in the day.
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.
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us put off our clothes, [saving that] every one put them off for washing.
