Nihemaia 6
1 Sa: naba: la: de, Doubaia, Giseme amola eno ninima ha lai dunu ilia nabi da moilai gagoi da gagole dagoi amola gelabo afae hamedafa gala. Be ninia logo ga: su amo logo holeiga hame sagai.
And it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobijah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
2 Amaiba: le, Sa: naba: la: de amola Giseme ela da nama sia: adole iasi. Amo da na da ela amola sia: sa: imusa: , ilia moilai afae Ounou Umi ganodini dialu amoga misa: ne sia: i. Be ilia da na fane legemusa: ogogole misa: ne sia: i.
that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
3 Na da ilima sia: alofele ia ahoasu dunu asunasili, ilima amane sia: i, “Na da hawa: hamosu bagadedafa hamonana. Na da dia sogega gudu sa: imu da hamedei. Na da dilima misa: ne, hawa: hamosu fisimu da noga: i hame galebe,” na sia: i.
And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down. Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to you?
4 Ilia da amo sia: eso biyaduyale agoane adole guda: beba: le, na da ilima na musa: sia: i defele adole ia gudui.
And they sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them in the same manner.
5 Amalalu, Sa: naba: la: de da ea sia: biyale amo nama adosi. Amo sia: da meloa dedei, gobele legesu amoga hame ga: su. Ea hawa: hamosu dunu afae da amo meloa dedei nama gaguli misi.
Then sent Sanballat his servant to me in this manner the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand,
6 Sia: dedei da agoane ba: i, “Na da Sa: naba: la: de. Giseme da nama adoi amo na: iyado dunu fi da di amola Yu fi dunu da Besia eagene amo fisimusa: dawa: sa, amola di fawane da eagene ouligisu dunu aligimusa: dawa: , na: iyado dunu fi da amane sia: daha.
in which was written: It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says [it, that] thou and the Jews think to rebel, for which cause thou buildest the wall, and according to these words thou wilt become their king.
7 Ilia eno sia: daha amane, di da balofede (Gode Sia: alofesu dunu) ilima ilia da Yelusaleme moilai amo ganodini di da Yuda hina bagade hamoi dagoi, amo sia: ma: ne sia: i. Besia hina bagade da amo sia: nabimu. Amaiba: le, di amola na da amo sia: sa: imusa: , gilisimu da defea,” e amane dedei.
And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning thee at Jerusalem saying, There is a king in Judah! And now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
8 Na da ema bu dedene i, amane, “Sia: dia meloa dedene i amo huluane da ogogosa. Amo sia: da di fawane lafia lale sia: i galebe.”
And I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
9 Ilia da nini beda: ma: ne, amola hawa: hamosu yolema: ne, amo hou hamoi. Be na Godema sia: ne gadobeba: le, Gode da nama gasa i.
For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be slackened from the work, that it be not carried out. — Now therefore strengthen my hands!
10 Amo esoga, na da Siema: iya (Dila: iya egefe amola Mehedabele ea aowa) amo ba: musa: asi. Bai e da ea diasu fisili gadili masunu da hamedei galu. E da nama amane sia: i, “Di amola na ania da Hadigi Malei Sesei amo Debolo diasu ganodini heda: le, logo ga: sili wamoaligimu. Bai dilima ha lai da di fane legemusa: , udigili gasia misini fane legemu.”
And I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who had shut himself up. And he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for they are coming to kill thee; even in the night are they coming to kill thee.
11 Na da ema bu adole i, “Na da dunu amo da hobeale, wamoaligisa, agoai dunu hame. Na mae medole legema: ne amola na esalusu mae fisima: ne, na da Debolo diasua wamo aligima: ne dawa: bela: , dia da na wamo aligima: beale dawa: bela: ? Hame mabu! Na da amane hame hamomu!”
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, could go into the temple, and live? I will not go in.
12 Amo sia: na da bu dadawa: loba, na amane dawa: i. Gode da Siema: iyama hame adoi. Be Doubaia amola Sa: naba: la: de ela da amo sia: adoma: ne ema muni i.
And I perceived, and behold, God had not sent him; for he pronounced this prophecy against me; and Tobijah and Sanballat had hired him.
13 Ilia da na amo sia: nabaloba, beda: iba: le wadela: i hamomu, ilia da dawa: i galu. Amola na dio wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu, amola na da bagadewane gogosiamu, ilia dawa: i galu.
Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have wherewith to spread an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14 Na da Godema sia: ne gadoi, amane, “Gode dawa: ma! Doubaia amola Sa: naba: la: de elea hou dawa: le, elama se dabe bagade ima. Amola uda Nouadaia amola ogogosu balofede dunu eno da na beda: ma: ne hamoi, amo huluane ilima se dabe bagade ima,” na amane sia: ne gadoi.
My God, remember Tobijah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets who would have put me in fear.
15 Ninia da eso 52 amoga hawa: hamonanu, musa: mugului gagoi da bu gagoi dagoi ba: i. Dagosu eso da eso 25 amo oubi ea dio Eloule amoga ba: i.
So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.
16 Amola ninia ha lai dunu, na: iyado gadenene ga fi amo ganodini esalu, ilia amo sia: naba: beba: le gogosia: i. Bai dunu huluane, Gode da amo gagoi hawa: hamosu fidibiba: le dagoi, dunu hulu da dawa: i galu.
And it came to pass that when all our enemies heard [of it], all the nations that were about us were afraid and were much cast down in their own eyes, and they perceived that this work was wrought by our God.
17 Be hawa: hamosu eso huluane amoga, Yu ouligisu dunu mogili da Doubaiama meloa dedene iasu.
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobijah, and those of Tobijah came to them.
18 Dunu bagohame Yuda soge ganodini da Doubaia fuligala: su. Bai esoa: amo Sieganaia (A: ila egefe) da Yu dunudafa. Amola bai eno da Doubaia egefe Youha: ina: ne da Misiala: me (Belegaia egefe) amo ea idiwi lai dagoi.
For there were many in Judah sworn to him; for he was a son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
19 Dunu mogili da na nabima: ne, Doubaia ea fidisu hou ida: iwane hamobe, sia: dalu. Amola na sia: i liligi huluane, ilia da ema bu sia: su. Amola, e da na beda: ma: ne, eso huluane nama dedene iasu.
Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. [And] Tobijah sent letters to put me in fear.
