Nehemiah 6
1 Now it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gesam the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and [that] there was no opening left therein; ([but] hitherto I had not set up the doors on the gates; )
Tango Sanibala, Tobiya, Geshemi, moto ya mokili ya Arabi, mpe banguna na biso mosusu bayokaki ete nasilisi kotonga lisusu mir mpe etikali na lidusu ata moko te, atako na tango wana namitielaki nanu bizipelo ya bikuke te,
2 that Sanaballat and Gesam sent to me, saying, Come and let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they [were] plotting to do me mischief.
Sanibala mpe Geshemi batindelaki ngai maloba oyo: — Yaka, tokutana na Kefirimi, kati na lubwaku ya Ono. Bazalaki na likanisi ya kosala ngai mabe.
3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I shall not be able to come down, lest the work should cease: as soon as I shall have finished it, I will come down to you.
Natindelaki bango bamemi sango koyebisa bango eyano oyo: — Nazali na mosala monene ya kosala, nakokoka te koya kuna. Mpo na nini mosala etelema tango nakotika yango mpo na koya kokutana na bino?
4 And they sent to me [again] to this effect; and I sent them [word] accordingly.
Mbala minei, batindelaki ngai sango kaka moko; mpe tango nyonso, ngai mpe nazalaki kozongisela bango eyano kaka moko.
5 Then Sanaballat sent his servant to me with an open letter in his hand.
Na mbala ya mitano, Sanibala atindelaki ngai sango moko kaka wana na nzela ya mosali na ye, oyo asimbaki mokanda ya kofungwama na loboko na ye.
6 And in it was written, It has been reported amongst the Gentiles that you and the Jews are planning to revolt: therefore you are building the wall, and you will be a king to them.
Kati na mokanda yango, bakomaki: « Sango ezali kopanzana kati na bikolo, Geshemi abeti kutu sete mpo na koloba na ngai ete ezali penza solo, ete yo mpe Bayuda bozali komibongisa mpo na kotomboka, mpe ezali mpo na yango nde bozali kotonga lisusu mir oyo. Kolanda sango yango, ozali na posa ya kokoma mokonzi na bango;
7 And moreover you has appointed prophets to yourself, that you might dwell in Jerusalem as a king over Juda: and now these words will be reported to the king. Now then, come, let us take counsel together.
mpe osili kutu kopona basakoli mpo ete bapanza sango kati na Yelusalemi ete okomi mokonzi ya Yuda! Sik’oyo, yeba ete sango oyo ekokoma kino penza na matoyi ya mokonzi. Boye, yaka mpo ete tosolola na tina na yango! »
8 And I sent to him, saying, It has not happened according to these words, [even] as you say, for you frame them falsely out of your heart.
Natindelaki ye eyano oyo: — Kati na nyonso oyo olobi, moko te ezali solo. Ezali makambo oyo yo moko ozali kokanisa na moto na yo!
9 For all were trying to alarm us, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from this work, and it shall not be done. Now therefore I have strengthened my hands.
Bato wana nyonso bazalaki koluka kobangisa biso; bazalaki komilobela: — Maboko na bango ekolemba makasi, ekokoka lisusu kosala te; mpe mosala ekosila te, ekotelema! Bakolemba nzoto mpe bakosundola mosala! Kasi ngai nasambelaki: — Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, lendisa maboko na ngai!
10 And I came into the house of Semei the son of Dalaia the Son of Metabeel, and he was shut up; and he said, Let us assemble together in the house of God, in the midst of it, and let us shut the doors of it; for they are coming by night to kill you.
Mokolo moko, nakendeki na ndako ya Shemaya, mwana mobali ya Delaya, koko ya Metabeyeli, oyo amikangelaki na ndako na ye. Alobaki: — Tokutana kati na Ndako ya Nzambe, na kati-kati ya Esika ya bule, mpe tokanga bikuke na yango, pamba te bato bazali koya mpo na koboma yo; bakoya na butu mpo na koboma yo.
11 And I said, Who is the man that shall enter into the house, that he may live?
Kasi nazongiselaki na ye: — Boni, moto lokola ngai akoki penza kokima! Kutu, moto nani lokola ngai akoki kokimela kati na Ndako ya Nzambe mpe abikisa bomoi na ye? Nakokende te!
12 And I observed, and, behold, God had not sent him, for the prophecy was a fable [devised] against me:
Nasosolaki mbala moko ete ezali Nzambe te nde atindi ye. Kasi apesaki lisakoli wana na tina na ngai, pamba te Tobiya mpe Sanibala bapesaki ye kanyaka.
13 and Tobias and Sanaballat had hired against me a multitude, that I might be frightened, and do this, and sin, and become to them an ill name, that they might reproach me.
Bapesaki ye kanyaka mpo na kobangisa ngai, mpo ete nasala masumu tango nakolanda toli na ye; mpe mpo ete babebisa lokumu ya kombo na ngai mpe bayokisa ngai soni.
14 Remember, O God, Tobias and Sanaballat, according to these their deeds, and the prophetess Noadia, and the rest of the prophets who tried to alarm me.
Oh Nzambe na ngai, kanisa Tobiya mpe Sanibala mpo na misala na bango! Kanisa lisusu Noadia, mwasi mosakoli, elongo na basakoli mosusu oyo bazalaki komeka kobangisa ngai!
15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the [month] Elul, in fifty-two days.
Boye, misala ya kotonga mir esilaki na mokolo ya tuku mibale na mitano ya sanza ya Eluli; esalaki mikolo tuku mitano na mibale.
16 And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard [of it], that all the nations round about us feared, and great alarm fell upon them, and they knew that it was of our God that this work should be finished.
Tango banguna na biso bayokaki sango yango, bato ya bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga bakomaki kobanga mpe koyoka soni na miso na bango moko, mpo ete basosolaki ete ezali kaka na lisungi ya Nzambe na biso nde mosala ya ndenge wana esalemaki.
17 And in those days letters came to Tobias from many nobles of Juda, and those of Tobias came to them.
Na mikolo wana, bankumu ya Yuda bazalaki kotinda mikanda ebele epai ya Tobiya, mpe biyano ya Tobiya ezalaki kokomela bango.
18 For many in Juda were bound to him by oath, because he was son-in-law of Sechenias the son of Herae; and Jonan his son had taken the daughter of Mesulam the son of Barachia to wife.
Pamba te bato ebele ya Yuda basalaki boyokani elongo na ye, na nzela ya ndayi, mpo ete azalaki bokilo ya Shekania, mwana mobali ya Ara, mpe mpo ete Yoanani, mwana na ye ya mobali, abalaki mwana mwasi ya Meshulami, mwana mobali ya Berekia.
19 And they reported his words to me, and carried out my words to him: and Tobias sent letters to terrify me.
Bazalaki kutu kokumisa misala na ye na miso na ngai mpe koyebisa ye maloba na ngai. Ezalaki Tobiya wana moto azalaki kotinda mikanda mpo na kobangisa ngai.
