Nehemiah 6
1 When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and our other enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and there were no gaps left—though at that time I still had not put the doors into 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 they sent a message to me, saying, “Come on, let's meet in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.” But they intended to kill 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 tell them, “I'm busy with important work and I can't come down. Why should I stop what I'm doing and leave it to come and see 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 They sent me the same message four times, and every time my reply was the same.
Ilia da amo sia: eso biyaduyale agoane adole guda: beba: le, na da ilima na musa: sia: i defele adole ia gudui.
5 Sanballat sent me the same message the fifth time by his servant, who brought in his hand an open 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 The letter read: “People around are saying, and Geshem confirms it, that you and the Jews are planning a rebellion, and that's why you're building the wall. You also plan to become their king, so they say,
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 arranged for prophets in Jerusalem to announce for you, ‘There is a king in Judah.’ The king will soon get to hear about this. So come, and let's talk this over.”
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 I replied, telling him, “Nothing's happening like you're saying! In fact you're just making it all up!”
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 They were all just trying to scare us, telling themselves, “They won't have the strength to work so it won't ever get finished.” But I prayed, now make me strong!
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 on, I went to Shemaiah's house (he was the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel) who had shut himself in his house. He said: “Come and meet me at the house of God inside the Temple. Then we can bolt the Temple doors shut because they are coming to kill you! They're coming to kill you tonight!”
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 I replied, “Should someone like me run away? Should someone like me go and hide in the Temple so I can survive? I'm not going!”
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 thought about it and saw that God hadn't sent him, but that he had spoken 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 They'd hired him thinking I'd be scared into doing something wrong. Then they'd be able to point the finger and ruin my reputation.
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 My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for doing this, and Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets too who tried to frighten 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 The wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul. It took fifty-two days.
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 found out they were frightened; all the nations around were very discouraged, for they recognized that this had been done 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 At that time the nobles of Judah were exchanging many letters with Tobiah,
Be hawa: hamosu eso huluane amoga, Yu ouligisu dunu mogili da Doubaiama meloa dedene iasu.
18 because many people in Judah had sworn an oath of loyalty to him as he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah, son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan was married to 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 They kept on telling me all the good things Tobiah was doing, and they reported to him what I said. Tobiah also sent letters to try and scare 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.
