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 it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though even to 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.
Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm 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, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease 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 to me four times like this; and I answered them the same way.
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 Sanballat sent his servant to me 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 which was written, “It is reported amongst the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.
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 proclaim of you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let’s 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.”
Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your 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 will be weakened from the work, that it not be done.” But now, 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 the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come 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 said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his 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 discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy 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.
He was hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for 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.
“Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets that 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 in the twenty-fifth day 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.
When all our enemies heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they lost their confidence; for they perceived that this work was done 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 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 sworn to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as wife.
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. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
