Nehemiah 2
1 Nowe in the moneth Nisan in the twentieth yere of king Artahshashte, the wine stoode before him, and I tooke vp the wine, and gaue it vnto the King. nowe I was not before time sad in his presence.
E dwe mar Nisan e higa mar piero ariyo mar loch Ruoth Artaksases, kane okelne divai, ne akawo divai mi amiyo ruoth. Ne pok abedo ka an gi kuyo e nyime nyaka nene;
2 And the king said vnto me, Why is thy coutenance sad, seeing thou art not sicke? this is nothing, but sorow of heart. Then was I sore afrayd,
omiyo ruoth nopenja niya, “Ere gima omiyo ikuyo to ok ituo? Ma ok en kuyo akuya makmana ni en mar chuny.” Ne aluor ahinya,
3 And I said to the King, God saue the King for euer: why should not my countenance be sad, when the citie and house of the sepulchres of my fathers lieth waste, and the gates thereof are deuoured with fire?
makmana ne awachone ruoth niya, “Mad ruoth dag amingʼa! Dabed gi mor nade ka dala maduongʼ mane kwerena oyikie omukore, kendo dhorangeyene osewangʼ gi mach.”
4 And the King said vnto me, For what thing doest thou require? Then I prayed to the God of heauen,
Ruoth nowachona niya, “En angʼo midwaro?” Bangʼe to ne alamo Nyasach Polo,
5 And sayde vnto the King, If it please the King, and if thy seruant haue found fauour in thy sight, I desire that thou wouldest send me to Iudah vnto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I may buyld it.
mi adwoko ruoth niya, “Ka berne ruoth kendo ka jatichni oyudo ngʼwono e wangʼe, to ber mondo oora e dala maduongʼ man Juda kama kwerena oikie mondo agere kendo.”
6 And the King sayd vnto me, (the Queene also sitting by him) How long shall thy iourney be? and when wilt thou come againe? So it pleased the King, and he sent me, and I set him a time.
Eka ruoth, kaachiel gi mikache kobedo bathe nopenja niya, “Wuodhino biro kawo thuolo maromo nade, to ibiro duogo karangʼo?” Ne berne ruoth mondo oora; omiyo ne achiwo odiechiengʼ monego awuogie.
7 After I saide vnto the King, If it please the King, let them giue mee letters to the captaines beyond the Riuer, that they may conuay me ouer, till I come into Iudah,
Bende ne awachone niya, “Ka berne ruoth, to mad miya barupe mondo aterne jotelo man loka aora Yufrate, mondo omi gibi gimiya rit makare nyaka achopi Juda?
8 And letters vnto Asaph the keeper of the Kings parke, that hee may giue me timber to buylde the gates of the palace (which apperteined to the house) and for the walles of the citie, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the King gaue me according to the good hand of my God vpon me.
Kendo mad imiya baruwa ma aterone Asaf, ma jarit yiend bunge magi, mondo obi omiya sirni migerogo dhoranga dala maduongʼ mochomore gi hekalu kendo alosgo ohinga mar dala kod ot mabiro dakie?” To nikech lwet Nyasacha ma jangʼwono ne ni koda, ruoth noyie gi kwayona duto.
9 Then came I to the captaines beyonde the Riuer, and gaue them the Kings letters. And the King had sent captaines of the armie and horsemen with me.
Omiyo ne adhi ir jotelo man loka aora Yufrate mi amiyogi barupe ruoth. Ruoth noora gi jotend jolweny kod jolweny makedo koidho farese.
10 But Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah a seruant an Ammonite heard it, and it grieued them sore, that there was come a man which sought the wealth of the children of Israel.
Kane Sanbalat ma ja-Horon kod Tobia ja-Amon ma jatelo nowinjo ma, negibedo kod achiedh-nade ahinya ni ngʼato osebiro madwaro kelo dongruok ni jo-Israel.
11 So I came to Ierusalem, and was there three dayes.
Ne adhi Jerusalem, kendo bangʼ kane asetieko ndalo adek kanyo,
12 And I rose in the night, I, and a fewe men with me: for I told no man, what God had put in mine heart to do at Ierusalem, and there was not a beast with me, saue the beast whereon I rode.
ne awuok gotieno kod jomoko manok. Ne pod ok anyiso ngʼato angʼata gima Nyasacha noketo e chunya mondo atimne Jerusalem. Ne onge kweth mag farese mane an godo makmana mano mane aidho.
13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, and came before the dragon well, and to the dung porte, and vewed the walles of Ierusalem, howe they were broken downe, and the portes thereof deuoured with the fire.
Kane ochopo otieno ne adhi kaluwo Dhoranga Holo kochiko Soko mar Thuol kod Dhoranga Owuoyo, ka anono ohingni mag Jerusalem, mane osegore piny, kod dhorangeyigi mane osewangʼ gi mach.
14 Then I went foorth vnto the gate of the fountaine, and to the Kings fishpoole, and there was no rowme for the beast that was vnder me to passe.
Bangʼe ne adhi nyime nyaka e Dhoranga Thidhia kod Dago mar Ruoth, makmana ne onge thuolo kama farasa ne nyalo kadhogo;
15 Then went I vp in ye night by the brooke, and viewed the wall, and turned backe, and comming backe, I entred by the gate of the valley and returned.
omiyo nadhi nyaka e holo gotieno, kanono ohinga. Mogik, ne alokora mi achako adonjo kendo gie Dhoranga Holo.
16 And the rulers knewe not whither I was gone, nor what I did, neither did I as yet tell it vnto the Iewes, nor to the Priestes, nor to the noble men, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that laboured in the worke.
Jotelo ne ok ongʼeyo kuma ne adhiyoe, kata gima ne atimo, nikech ne pod ok awacho gimoro ne jo-Yahudi kata jodolo kata joka ruoth kata jotelo kata joma moko mane biro tiyo tijno.
17 Afterward I said vnto them, Ye see the miserie that we are in, how Ierusalem lyeth waste, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire: come and let vs buylde the wall of Ierusalem, that we be no more a reproche.
Bangʼe ne awachonegi niya, “Uneno thagruok ma wantiere godo: Jerusalem osemuki, to dhorangeyege osewangʼ gi mach. Biuru wager ohinga mar Jerusalem kendo, to ok wanachak wabed e wichkuot kendo.”
18 Then I tolde them of the hande of my God, (which was good ouer me) and also of the Kings wordes that he had spoken vnto me. And they sayd, Let vs rise, and buyld. So they strengthened their hand to good.
Ne akonegi bende kuom Nyasacha ma jangʼwono mane ni koda kod gima ruoth nowachona. Ne gidwoka niya, “Wachakuru gedo kendo.” Omiyo negichako tich maberni.
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the seruant an Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian heard it, they mocked vs and despised vs, and said, What a thing is this that ye doe? Will ye rebell against the King?
To ka Sanbalat ma ja-Horon, Tobia ma jatend jo-Amon kod Geshem ma ja-Arabu nowinjo wach gedoni, ne gijarowa kendo buonowa ka gipenjo niya, “Angʼo ma utimoni? Dibed ni ungʼanyo ne ruoth?”
20 Then answered I them, and sayd to them, The God of heauen, he will prosper vs, and we his seruants will rise vp and buylde: but as for you, ye haue no portion nor right, nor memoriall in Ierusalem.
Ne adwokogi niya, “Nyasach polo biro miyowa loch. Wan jotichne wabiro gedo kendo, makmana un, to uonge gi pok e Jerusalem kata dwaro moro amora kata rapar moro amora kuome.”
