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.
Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and that there were no longer any sections left broken open, although I had not yet 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.
Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, “Come, let us meet together somewhere in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do harm to me.
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.
I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while 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.
They sent me the same message four times, and I answered them the same way each time.
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.
Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same way 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 it was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel, for that is why you are rebuilding the wall. From what these reports say, you are about to 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.
You have also appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem, saying, 'There is a king in Judah!' You can be sure the king will hear these reports. Therefore come, let us speak with one another.”
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.”
Then I sent word to him saying, “No such things have occurred as you say, for within your heart you invented them.”
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 wanted to make us afraid, thinking, “They will drop their hands from doing the work, and it will not be done.” But now, God, please 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.”
I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah son of Mehetabel, who was confined in his home. He said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. At night they are coming to kill you.”
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!”
I replied, “Would a man like me run away? Would a man like me go into the temple just so he could save his own life? 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.
I realized that it was not God who sent him, but that he had prophesied against me. Tobiah 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.
They hired him to make me afraid, so that I might do what he said and sin, so they could give me a bad name in order to humiliate 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.
Call to mind Tobiah and Sanballat, my God, and all that they did. Also call to mind the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who tried to make me be afraid.
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 day of the month of Elul, after 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.
When all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us, they became afraid and they fell greatly in their own eyes. For they knew the work was done with the help of our God.
17 Be hawa: hamosu eso huluane amoga, Yu ouligisu dunu mogili da Doubaiama meloa dedene iasu.
At this time the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters 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 who were bound by an oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah. His son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam 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.
They also spoke to me about his good deeds and reported my words back to him. Letters were sent to me from Tobiah to frighten me.
