Nehemiah 4
1 Now when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he was furious and filled with indignation. He ridiculed the Jews
Sa: naba: la: de da ninia Yu dunu da moilai gagosu gagobe amo nababeba: le, e da ninima ougili bagadewane lasogole oufesega: su.
2 before his associates and the army of Samaria, saying, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Can they restore the wall by themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Can they bring these burnt stones back to life from the mounds of rubble?”
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: ?”
3 Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said, “If even a fox were to climb up on what they are building, it would break down their wall of stones!”
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.
4 Hear us, O God, for we are despised. Turn their scorn back upon their own heads, and let them be taken as plunder to a land of captivity.
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.
5 Do not cover up their iniquity or let their sin be blotted out from Your sight, for they have provoked the builders.
Ilia wadela: i hou mae gogolema: ne olofoma. Bai ilia da ninia moilai gagosu hawa: hamonanoba, ilia da ninima lasogole oufesega: lala.”
6 So we rebuilt the wall until all of it was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
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.
7 When Sanballat and Tobiah, together with the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they were furious,
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.
8 and all of them conspired to come and fight against Jerusalem and create a hindrance.
Amaiba: le, ilia da Yelusaleme amoga doagala: musa: amola ninia hawa: hamoi wadela: musa: sia: dasu.
9 So we prayed to our God and posted a guard against them day and night.
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.
10 Meanwhile, the people of Judah said: “The strength of the laborer fails, and there is so much rubble that we will never be able to rebuild the wall.”
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: ?”
11 And our enemies said, “Before they know or see a thing, we will come into their midst, kill them, and put an end to the work.”
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.
12 At that time the Jews who lived nearby came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”
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.
13 So I stationed men behind the lowest sections of the wall, at the vulnerable areas. I stationed them by families with their swords, spears, and bows.
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.
14 After I had made an inspection, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”
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.”
15 When our enemies heard that we were aware of their scheme and that God had frustrated it, each of us returned to his own work on the wall.
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.
16 And from that day on, half of my servants did the work while the other half held spears, shields, bows, and armor. The officers stationed themselves behind all the people of Judah
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.
17 who were rebuilding the wall. The laborers who carried materials worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other.
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.
18 And each of the builders worked with his sword strapped at his side. But the trumpeter stayed beside me.
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.
19 Then I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people: “The work is great and extensive, and we are spread out far from one another along the wall.
Na da dunu amola ilia ouligisu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia hawa: hamosu sogebi da bagadedafa amola dilia hisu hisuya hawa: hamonana.
20 Wherever you hear the sound of the horn, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us!”
Dilia ‘biugale’ wele sia: su nabasea, nama gilisila misa. Amola ninia Gode da nini fidili gegemu,” na amane sia: i.
21 So we continued the work, while half of the men held spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out.
Amaiba: le, eso huluane hadigibi galu, dunu mogili da hawa: hamonanea, mogili da gegemusa: oulelu. Amalalu, daeya gasili gasumuni aligibiba: le fisi.
22 At that time I also said to the people, “Let every man and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they can stand guard by night and work by day.”
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.
23 So neither I nor my brothers nor my servants nor the guards with me changed out of our clothes; each carried his weapon, even to go for water.
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.
