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 when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and was very indignant, 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: ?”
He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are 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.
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would 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, our God, for we are despised. Turn back their reproach on their own head. Give them up for a plunder in a 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.”
Don’t cover their iniquity. Don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted 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 half its height, 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 when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, they were very angry;
8 Amaiba: le, ilia da Yelusaleme amoga doagala: musa: amola ninia hawa: hamoi wadela: musa: sia: dasu.
and they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion amongst us.
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 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: ?”
Judah said, “The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading and there is much rubble, 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.
Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in amongst them and kill 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.
When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, “Wherever you turn, they will attack 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.
Therefore I set guards in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places. I set the people by family groups 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.”
I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, 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.
When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, all of us returned to the wall, everyone 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.
From that time forth, half of my servants did the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows, and the coats of mail; 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.
Those who built the wall, and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands did the work, and with the other held his 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.
Amongst the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the shofar 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.
I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widely spread out, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.
20 Dilia ‘biugale’ wele sia: su nabasea, nama gilisila misa. Amola ninia Gode da nini fidili gegemu,” na amane sia: i.
Wherever you hear the sound of the shofar, rally there 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 did the work. Half of the people held the spears from the rising of the morning until 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 I said to the people, “Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labour 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 brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.
