Nehemiah 6
1 When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left—though to that time I had not yet installed the doors in the gates—
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.
2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to harm me.
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.
3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it to go down to you?”
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.
4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave the same reply.
Ilia da amo sia: eso biyaduyale agoane adole guda: beba: le, na da ilima na musa: sia: i defele adole ia gudui.
5 The fifth time, Sanballat sent me this same message by his young servant, who had in his hand an unsealed letter
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.
6 that read: “It is reported among the nations—and Geshem agrees—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and this is why you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their king,
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.
7 and you have even appointed prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf: ‘There is a king in Judah.’ Soon these rumors will reach the ears of the king. So come, let us confer together.”
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.
8 Then I sent him this reply: “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind.”
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.”
9 For they were all trying to frighten us, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will never be finished.” But now, my God, strengthen my hands.
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.
10 Later, I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his house. He said: “Let us meet at the house of God inside the temple. Let us shut the temple doors because they are coming to kill you— by night they are coming to kill you!”
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.”
11 But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!”
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!”
12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
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.
13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would sin by doing as he suggested, so they could give me a bad name in order to discredit me.
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.
14 O my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who tried to intimidate me.
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.
15 So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul.
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.
16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and disheartened, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God.
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.
17 Also in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came back to them.
Be hawa: hamosu eso huluane amoga, Yu ouligisu dunu mogili da Doubaiama meloa dedene iasu.
18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, since he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.
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.
19 Moreover, these nobles kept reporting to me Tobiah’s good deeds, and they relayed my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
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.
