Nehemiah 6
1 And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gossem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates, )
A LOHE iho la o Sanebalata, a A me Tobia, a me Gesema no Arabia, a me ke koena o ko makou poe enemi, ua uhau iho la au i ka pa, aole hoi i koe kauwahi ona i wawahiia'i, (aole nae au i kukulu iluna ia manawa i na pani ma na puka; )
2 Sanaballat and Gossem Rent to me, saying: Come, and let us make a league together in the villages, in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Alaila, hoouna mai la o Sanebalata a me Gesema io'u nei, i mai la, Ea, e halawai pu kakou ma na kulanakauhale o ka papu o Ono. Aka, manao iho la laua e hana ino mai ia'u.
3 And I sent messengers to them, saying: I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down, lest it be neglected whilst I come, and go down to you.
A hoouna aku la au io lakou la i mau elele, e olelo aku, He hana nui ka'u e hana nei aole e hiki ia'u ke iho aku: no ke aha la e oki ai ka hana, i ko'u waiho ana ia, a iho aku io oukou la?
4 And they sent to me according to this word, four times: and I answered them after the same manner.
Eha ka lakou hoouna ana mai ia'u e like me keia olelo ana; a pane aku la no hoi au ia lakou e like no me keia olelo ana.
5 And Sanaballat sent his servant to me the fifth time according to the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:
Alaila hoouna mai la o Sanehalata ia'u i kana kauwa me ka palapala i hoholaia ma kona lima, e like no me kela hana ana, a o ka lima hoi ia;
6 It is reported amongst the Gentiles, and Gossem hath said it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, and therefore thou buildest the wall, and hast a mind to set thyself king over them: for which end
A maloko olaila ua palapalaia, Ua lohoia e na lahuikanaka, a na Gasemu no i olelo ae, E ohumu ana oe a me ka Iuda e kipi: no ia mea kou uhau ana i ka pa, i lilo oe i alii no lakou e like me keia mau olelo.
7 Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together.
A ua hoonoho hoi oe i poe kaula e hai aku ma Ierusalema nou, me ka i ana'ku, He alii ma Iuda: eia hoi, e lohe auanei ke alii e like me keia mau olelo. Nolaila, ea, e kukakuka pu kakou.
8 And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart.
Alaila, hoouna aku la au io na la, i aku la, Aole i hanaia e like me keia mau mea au i olelo mai ai, aka, mai loko mai o kou naau iho kou kuhi ana ia mau mea.
9 For all these men thought to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would leave off. Wherefore I strengthened my hands the more:
No ka mea, hoomakau mai lakou a pau ia makou, i ae la, E kuuia'ku ko lakou mau lima mai ka hana aku, i paa ole ia. Aka, ano, e hooikaika mai oe i ko'u mau lima.
10 And I went into the house of Samaia the son of Delaia, the son of Metabeel privately. And he said: Let us consult together in the house of God in the midst of the temple: and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they will come to kill thee, and in the night they will come to slay thee.
Alaila komo aku la au iloko o ka hale o Semaia ke keiki a Delaia ke keiki a Mehetaheela, ka mea i pani paa ia maloko; a i mai la, E hoakoakoa pu kakou ma ka hale o ke Akua, iwaena konu o ka luakini, a e pani kakou i na puka o ka luakini: no ka mea, e hiki mai auanei lakou o pepehi ia oe; i ka po no e hiki mai ai lakou e pepehi ia oe.
11 And I said: Should such a man as I Bee? and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple, to save his life? I will not go in.
A i aku la au, E hoohee wale anei ke kanaka me au nei? Owai hoi ka mea e like me au nei e komo iloko o ka luakini i ola ia? Aole au e komo.
12 And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him.
A ike iho la au, aia hoi, aole i hoouna mai ke Akua ia ia; aka, ua hai ku e mai la oia ia olelo ia'u: no ka mea, ua hoolimalima o Tobia laua o Sanebalata ia ia.
13 For he had taken money, that I being afraid should do this thing, and sin, and they might have some evil to upbraid me withal.
A no ia mea oia i hoolimalimaia'i, i makau ai au, a hana pela, a hewa, i loaa ia lakou ka olelo hoino, e hoino mai ai ia'u.
14 Remember me, O Lord, for Tobias and Sanaballat, according to their works of this kind: and Noadias the prophet, and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.
E hoomanao oe, e ko'u Akua, ia Tobia a me Sanebalata e like me keia mau hana ana a laua, a ia Noadia hoi, ke kaula wahine, a me na kaula e ae i manao e hoomakau mai ia'u.
15 But the wall was finished the five and twentieth day of the month of Elul, in two and fifty days.
A ua paa ka pa i ka la iwakaluakumamalima o Elula, i na la he kanalimakumamalua.
16 And it came to pass when all our enemies heard of it, that all nations which were round about us, were afraid, and were cast down within themselves, for they perceived that this work was the work of God.
A lohe ko makou poe enemi a pau, a ike hoi na lahuikanaka a pau a puni makou, kulou loa iho la ko lakou maka ilalo; no ka mea, ike lakou, ua hanaia keia hana e ko makou Akua.
17 Moreover in those days many letters were sent by the principal men of the Jews to Tobias, and from Tobias there came letters to them.
Eia hoi, ia mau la, hoomahuahua iho la ka poe kaukaualii o Iuda i na palapala a lakou i hoouka aku ai io Tobia la, a hiki mai la hoi ka Tobia io lakou la.
18 For there were many in Judea sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Sechenias the son of Area, and Johanan his son had taken to wife the daughter of Mosollam the son of Barachias.
No ka mea, he nui ka poe ma Iuda i hoohikiia nona, no ka mea, he hunonakane no ia no Sekania ke keiki a Ara; a ua lawe hoi o Iohanana kana keiki i ke kaikamahine a Mesulama ke keiki a Berekia.
19 And they praised him also before me, and they related my words to him: And Tobias sent letters to put me in fear.
Eia hoi, olelo mai la lakou imua o'u ma na mea maikai ona, a hai aku la hoi lakou i ka'u mau mea ia ia. A hoouna mai o Tobia i na palapala e hoomakau mai ia'u.
