Nehemiah 4
1 And it came to pass, that when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall he was angry: and being moved exceedingly he scoffed at the Jews.
Da Sanballat ya ji cewa muna sāke ginin katangar, sai ya husata, ya haukace ƙwarai. Ya yi wa Yahudawa dariya,
2 And said before his brethren, and the multitude of the Samaritans: What are the silly Jews doing? Will the Gentiles let them alone? will they sacrifice and make an end in a day? are they able to raise stones out of the heaps of the rubbish, which are burnt?
a gaban abokansa da kuma sojojin Samariya ya ce, “Me waɗancan Yahudawan nan marasa ƙarfi suke yi? Za su maido da katangarsu ne? Za su miƙa hadayu ne? Za su gama a rana ɗaya? Za su iya samun duwatsun gini daga tsibin matattun duwatsu?”
3 Tobias also the Ammonite who was by him said: Let them build: if a fox go up, he will leap over their stone wall.
Tobiya wakilin mutanen Ammon wanda yake a gefensa ya ce, “Abin nan da suke gini, ko dila ma ya hau, zai rushe shi!”
4 Hear thou our God, for we are despised: turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them to be despised in a land of captivity.
Ka ji mu, ya Allahnmu, gama an rena mu. Bari zagin da suke yi mana yă koma kansu. Ka sa a kwashe su a kai su bauta a wata ƙasa.
5 Cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thy face, because they have mocked thy builders.
Kada ka rufe laifinsu, kada kuwa ka gafarta musu, gama sun ci mutuncinmu, mu da muke gini.
6 So we built the wall, and joined it all together unto the half thereof: and the heart of the people was excited to work.
Sai muka sāke ginin katangar sai da duka ta kai rabin tsayinta, gama mutane sun yi aiki da dukan ƙarfinsu.
7 And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Azotians heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and the breaches began to be closed, that they were exceedingly angry.
Amma da Sanballat, da Tobiya, da Larabawa, da Ammonawa, da kuma mutanen Ashdod suka ji cewa gyare-gyaren katangar Urushalima yana cin gaba, ana kuma tattoshe wuraren da suka tsattsaga, sai suka husata ƙwarai.
8 And they all assembled themselves together, to come, and to fight against Jerusalem, and to prepare ambushes.
Dukansu suka ƙulla su zo, su yi yaƙi da Urushalima, su tā da hankali a cikinta.
9 And we prayed to our God, and set watchmen upon the wall day and night against them.
Amma muka yi addu’a ga Allahnmu muka kuma sa masu tsaro da rana da kuma dare don mu magance wannan barazana.
10 And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.
Ana cikin haka, mutane a Yahuda suka ce, “Ƙarfin ma’aikata yana kāsawa, akwai kuma sauran tarkace da yawa da ba za mu iya sāke gina katangar ba.”
11 And our enemies said: Let them not know, nor understand, till we come in the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.
Abokan gābanmu sun ce, “Ba za su sani ba, ba kuwa za su gan mu ba, sai dai kawai su gan mu a cikinsu, za mu karkashe su, mu tsai da aikin.”
12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us,
Sau da yawa Yahudawan da suke da zama kusa da abokan gābanmu sun yi ta zuwa suna yin mana magana, suna cewa “Ko’ina muka juya, za su fāɗa mana.”
13 I set the people in the place behind the wall round about in order, with their swords, and spears, and bows.
Saboda haka na sa jama’a su ja ɗamara bisa ga iyalinsu a bayan katanga, a wuraren da ba a gina ba. Suna riƙe da takuba, da māsu, da bakkuna.
14 And I looked and rose up: and I said to the chief men and the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: be not afraid of them. Remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, and your wives, and your houses.
Bayan na dudduba abubuwa, sai na miƙe tsaye na ce wa manyan gari da shugabanni da kuma sauran jama’a, “Kada ku ji tsoronsu. Ku tuna da Ubangiji, wanda yake mai girma da banrazana, ku yi yaƙi don’yan’uwanku, da’ya’yanku maza da mata, da matanku da kuma gidajenku.”
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that the thing had been told us, that God defeated their counsel. And we returned all of us to the walls, every man to his work.
Da abokan gābanmu suka ji muna sane da shirinsu, Allah kuma ya wargaje shirin nan, sai duk muka dawo ga katangar, kowa ya kama aikinsa.
16 And it came to pass from that day forward, that half of their young men did the work, and half were ready for to fight, with spears, and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, and the rulers were behind them in all the house of Juda.
Daga wannan rana zuwa gaba, rabin mutane suka yi aiki, yayinda sauran rabin suka kintsa da māsu, da garkuwa, da bakkuna da makamai. Shugabanni suka goyi bayan dukan mutanen Yahuda
17 Of them that built on the wall and that carried burdens, and that laded: with one of his hands he did the work, and with the other he held a sword.
waɗanda suke ginin katanga. Waɗanda suke ɗaukan kaya suka yi aikinsu da hannu ɗaya, suna kuma riƙe da makami a ɗaya hannun,
18 For every one of the builders was girded with a sword about his reins. And they built, and sounded with a trumpet by me.
kuma kowane mai gini ya ɗaura takobinsa a gefe yayinda yake aiki. Amma mutum mai busa ƙaho ya kasance tare da ni.
19 And I said to the nobles, and to the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: The work is great and wide, and we are separated on the wall one far from another:
Sai na ce wa manyan gari, da shugabanni, da sauran jama’a, “Aikin nan babba ne kuma mai yawa, ga shi muna a rarrabe nesa da juna a katangar.
20 In what place soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, run all thither unto us: our God will fight for us.
Duk inda kuka ji an busa ƙaho, sai ku taru a wurin. Allahnmu zai yi yaƙi dominmu!”
21 And let us do the work: and let one half of us hold our spears from the rising of the morning, till the stars appear.
Saboda haka muka ci gaba da aiki, rabin mutane suna riƙe da māsu, daga wayewar gari har zuwa fitowar taurari.
22 At that time also I said to the people: Let every one with his servant stay in the midst of Jerusalem, and let us take our turns in the night, and by day, to work.
A wannan lokaci na kuma ce wa mutane, “A sa kowane mutum da mataimakinsa su zauna a Urushalima da dare, domin a yi tsaro da dare, da safe kuma a kama aiki.”
23 Now I and my brethren, and my servants, and the watchmen that followed me, did not put off our clothes: only every man stripped himself when he was to be washed.
Saboda haka ni, da’yan’uwana, da bayina, da matsaran da suke tare da ni, ba wanda ya tuɓe tufafinsa; kowa ya rataye makaminsa, ko ya je shan ruwa ma.
