< Nehemiah 2 >

1 In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes' reign, when the wine was brought in for him, I picked it up and gave it to the king. I had never before appeared before him looking sad,
Hanki Artserksisi'ma kinima manino egeno 20tima hia kafumofona Nisani ikampina, ko'ma nehuaza hu'na kini ne'mofo waini tina tagi'na eme ami'noe. Hianagi mago'a zupama nehuazana hu'na ana zupa musena osugeno navugosamo'a evurami'ne.
2 so the king asked me, “Why are you looking so sad, even though you don't seem to sick? You must be really upset.” I was absolutely terrified,
Ana'ma higeno'a kini ne'mo'a nantahigeno, Kagra kria e'ori'nananagi na'a higeno kavugosamo'a evuneramigenka musena nosane? Mago'a zamo higeno krimpamo'a musena nosifi? Anagema hige'na nagra tusi koro nehu'na,
3 but I replied to the king, “Long live the king live! How can I help being sad? The city where my forefathers are buried is in ruins, and its gates have been burned down.”
kini ne'mofo ke'arera amanage hu'na kenona'a hu'noe, kini ne'moka knare hunka za'zate kinia maninka vugahane. Nagrama musema nosuana na'ankure, nagehe'mokizmima asezamante'naza rankuma'mo'a tusi'a zampi havizantfa huno me'negeno, ana kuma'mofo kafana tevemo tefanane hu'negu anara nehue.
4 “So what do you want?” the king asked me. I prayed to the God of heaven, and answered the king,
Anagema hugeno'a kini nemo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Na'a kagrira hugantesuegu kave'nesie, hige'na anante ame hu'na monafi Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'noe.
5 “If it pleases Your Majesty, and if you are happy with me, I request you send me to Judah, to the city where my forefathers are buried, so I can rebuild it.”
Nehu'na amanage hu'na kini ne'mofona antahige'noe, kagrama antahi musema hunantesnanke'na Juda mopare mopa agafa'nire vu'na ome kete'na, maka'zana ome eri so'e hanue.
6 The king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked me, “How long will your journey take, and when will you come back?” The king agreed to send me, and I told him how long I would be gone.
Hanki kini ne'mofo nenaro kuini a'mo'a kini nemofo tava'onte mani'negeno kini ne'mo'a nantahigeno, nama'a kna umanitenka etema esanana ina zupa egahane? Anage nehuno amne vugahane huno hu izo hige'na, etema esanua kna fatgogura asami'noe.
7 I also asked him, “If it pleases Your Majesty, let letters be provided to give to the governors west of the Euphrates, so that they will allow me to pass safely until I reach Judah.
Hagi anante mago'ene kini nera amanage hu'na antahige'noe, Kini ne'mokama antahi so'ema hunantesnunka, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmimpima kva hu'naza vahetega knare mago'a avona kre namisnanke'na, nevu'nama ana kumapi gavana vahetamina ana avona ome zamisanuge'za, nege'za mago'zana osu natresage'na Juda moparera vu'na uhanatigahue.
8 May I also have a letter for Asaph, warden of the king's forest, so he can give me timber to make beams for the gates of Temple fortress, for the city walls, and for the house I will live in.” Because my gracious God was upon me, the king gave me what I asked.
Hanki kini ne'mofo zafa tanopare'ma kvama hu'nea ne' Asapuna, zafama naminige'nama ra mono no tvaonte'ma, sondia vahe'ma mani'nezama kvama hanaza nomofo kafama tro'ma hu zafaramine kuma keginare'ma eri'zama erisanuna zafane nagrama masesanua noma kisanuna zafaramima namisigura, mago avon krento hu'na antahige'noe. Hanki Ra Anumzamo'a nagrane mani'negu nazanoma kini ne'mofonku'ma antahigoa zana amne tro hunante'ne.
9 Then I went to the governors of the province west of the Euphrates and gave them the king's letters. The king also sent a military escort of cavalry with me.
Hanki sondia vahete ugota hu'naza vahe'ene hosi afu'mofo agumpima mani'nezama ha'ma nehaza sondia vahera kini ne'mo'a mago'a huzmantege'za nagrane vu'naze. Ana higeta Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatmima kvama hu'naza vahera vu'na kini ne'mo'ma krenami'nea avona ome zami'noe.
10 But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were upset. For them this was a total disaster—that someone had arrived to help out the Israelites.
Hianagi Bet-Horoni kumateti kamani eri'zama eneria ne' Senbalati'ene, Amoni kumateti kamani eri'za eneria ne' Tobia'enema nagrama oanke'ma nentahikea zanarinpamo'a haviza hu'ne. Na'ankure zanagrama antahi'ana Israeli vahe zamaza hunaku neaze nehuke anara hu'na'e.
11 I arrived in Jerusalem and rested for three days.
Hanki Jerusalema uhanati'na 3'a zagegna umanite'na,
12 Then I got up during the night and went out with just a few men. I didn't explain to anyone what my God had put in my head to do for Jerusalem. I only took one horse to ride.
kenagera otina osi'a venene zamavrogeta vu'none. Hianagi Jerusalemi kuma'mofonte'ma nazano tro hugahane huno'ma Anumzamo'ma nagu'afima ante'nea zana mago vahera osami'noe. Hanki nagrake tonki afu'mofo agumpina mani'na vu'noanki, mago'a vene'nea mopafi vu'naze.
13 So I rode in the dark through the Valley Gate toward the Spring of the Serpent and the Refuse Gate, and I inspected Jerusalem's walls that had been knocked over and the gates that had been burned down.
Hanki ana kenagera kuma keginamofona, Agupo Kafanema nehaza kafanteti atirami'na, Ra Osifave tinkerima nehazarega vute'na, Mikazama Harafi hu'zama ome netraza kafanema nehaza kafama me'nerega vu'noe. Hanki tonki afu'mofo agumpima mani'na nevu'na, Jerusalemi kuma'mofo have keginama ahefragu vazi'naza zantamine, kuma kafaramine tevemo'ma te havizama hu'nea zana keso'e hu'na vu'noe.
14 Then I continued on to the Fountain Gate and the King's Pool, but we couldn't get through as there wasn't enough room to pass.
Anantetira Kampu'i Tine nehaza kafante'ene, Kini Nemofo tirure nehaza tirute uhanati'noe. Hianagi ufre kafampina have keginama fragu'ma vazirami'nea havemo'a hihi huno mareri'negeno tonkimo'a ufregara osu'ne.
15 So I went up along the valley in the dark and inspected the wall. Then I returned, going back through the Valley Gate.
Anama hige'na Kidroni agupofi enevu'na ran kuma kegina ke'na evute'na, masa osu nege'na ete rukrahe hu'na Agupo Kafanema nehaza kafanteti emareri'na ran kumapina ufre'noe.
16 Those in charge of the city had no idea where I had gone or what I was doing, because I hadn't yet told the Jews, priests, nobles, or officials or any others about the construction plans.
Hanki ana kenage'ma vanoma nehu'nama hu'noa zamofo nanekea, Jerusalemima mani'naza kva vahe'mo'za ontahi'naze. Na'ankure magore hu'na Jiu vahepi, pristi nagapi eri'za vahepi mago'a eri'zama zamazama hu'za erisaza vahe'enena ozamasami'noe.
17 Then I said to them, “Look at the trouble we're in! Jerusalem is a heap of rubble, and its gates have been burned down. Come on, let's rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, so that we won't be so ashamed any more.”
Hianagi anante amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Tagrama knazampima mani'nonana tamagra ko keta antahita hu'naze. Jerusalemi kuma'mo'ma havizantfa higeno, kumamofo rankafana tevemo teno eri haviza hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu enketa Jerusalemi kuma'mofo kegina ete eriso'e huta hamaneno. Hagi e'inama hanunke'za mago'enena tazeri tagazea osugahaze.
18 Then I explained to them how good God had been to me, and what the king had told me. “Let's get on with the rebuilding,” they replied, and they set to work enthusiastically.
Anage nehu'na Ra Anumzamo'ma azama anteno nazama hu'nea zamofo kea nezamasami'na, kini ne'mo'ma hu'nea nanekenena zamasami'noe. Anankema huge'za zamagra amanage hu'naze, Knarekita hago eri'zana agafa huta erisune, nehu'za, ana kere eri'zana agafa hu'za eri'naze.
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab got to hear about it, they mocked and taunted us, asking, “What are you up to? Are you rebelling against the king?”
Hianagi Horoni kumateti ne' Sanbalati'ma, Amoniti ne' Tobiaki, Araputi ne' Gesemi'ma hu'za amana eri'zama eriku'ma huna nanekema nentahi'za, tusi tagiza nere'za zokago kea amanage hu'za hurante'naze, tamagra ama na'a hu'za nehaze? Tamagra kuma kegina ete azeri o'netitma, kini ne'mofona ha' hunte'za nehazo?
20 But I replied, telling them, “The God of heaven, he will make sure we're successful. We, his servants, will begin rebuilding, but Jerusalem doesn't belong to you, and you have no authority over it or claim to it.”
Hagi anante nagra amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, tagra monafi Anumzamofo eri'za vahe mani'nonankita ama ana eri'zana enerisanunkeno, taza huno tazeri so'ea hugahie. Hianagi ama Jerusalemi kumapina tamagrira tamagia omane'ne. Ana higeno tamagehe'zanena kora ama kumapinena zamagia omane'nea vahe mani'naze.
