Nehemiah 4
1 But when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, then was he wroth and sore grieued, and mocked the Iewes,
A LOHE o Sanebalata, e uhau ana makou i ka pa, alaila huhu mai no ia a nkiuki loa iho la, a akaaka mai no hoi ia i ka Iuda.
2 And sayde before his brethren and the armie of Samaria, thus he sayde, What doe these weake Iewes? wil they fortifie them selues? wil they sacrifice? will they finish it in a day? will they make the stones whole againe out of the heapes of dust, seeing they are burnt?
A olelo ae la ia imua o kona mau hoahanau a me ka poe koa no Samaria, i ae la, Heaha ka mea a ka Iuda a ka poe nawaliwali e hana nei? E oki anei lakou, o lakou iho? e mohai anei lakou? e hoopau anei lakou i ka la hookahi? e hoala anei lakou i na pohaku mailoko ae o na puu opala i puhiia?
3 And Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and said, Although they buylde, yet if a foxe goe vp, he shall euen breake downe their stonie wall.
A aia o Tobia ka Amona ma kona aoao; a i ae la ia, O keia mea a lakou e uhau nei, ea, ina e pii kekahi alopeke maluna iho, e hoohiolo no ia i ko lakou papohaku.
4 Heare, O our God (for we are despised) and turne their shame vpon their owne head, and giue them vnto a pray in the lande of their captiuitie,
E hoolohe mai oe, e ko makou Akua; no ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia makou; a e hoihoi aku oe i ka lakou hoino ana maluna o ko lakou poo iho, a e hoolilo aku oe ia lakou i poe pio ma ka aina e noho pio ai.
5 And couer not their iniquitie, neither let their sinne be put out in thy presence: for they haue prouoked vs before the builders.
Mai uhi oe i ko lakou hala, aole hoi e holoi i ko lakou hewa mai kou alo aku; no ka mea, ua hoonaukiuki mai lakou ma ke alo o ka poe e uhau ana.
6 So we built the wall, and all the wall was ioyned vnto the halfe thereof, and the heart of the people was to worke.
A uhau iho la makou i ka pa; a huiia ka pa a pau a hiki i ka waenakonu ona; no ka mea, he hoihoi ko ka poe kanaka e hana.
7 But when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodims heard that the walles of Ierusalem were repayred, (for the breaches began to be stopped) then they were very wroth,
A i ka wa i lohe ai o Sanebalata, a me Tobia, a me ko Arabia, a me ko Amona, a me ko Asedoda, ua hoalaia ka pa o Ierusalema, a ua kiekie a kokoke no e paniia ae na wahi i wawahiia, alaila huhu loa iho la lakou.
8 And conspired all together to come and to fight against Ierusalem, and to hinder them.
A ohumu pu ae ia lakou a pau e hele mai a e kaua mai ia Ierusalema, a e hana i ka mea e keakea ai.
9 The we prayed vnto our God, and set watchmen by them, day and night, because of them.
Aka, pule aku la makou i ko makou Akua, a hoonoho iho la i poe nana e kiai aku ia lakou i ka po a me ke ao. mamua mai o ko lakou alo.
10 And Iudah said, The strength of the bearers is weakened, and there is much earth, so that we are not able to build the wall.
A i mai la o Iuda, Ua pau ae la ka ikaika o ka poe nana e amo, a ua nui ka opala; a aole e hiki ia makou ke uhau i ka pa.
11 Also our aduersaries had sayde, They shall not knowe, neither see, till we come into the middes of them and slay them, and cause the worke to cease.
A olelo ae la ko makou poe enemi, Aole e ike lakou, aole hoi e nana mai, a hiki makou iwaena konu I o lakou, a Iuku aku ia lakou, a hooki ae i ka hana.
12 But when the Iewes (which dwelt beside them) came, they told vs ten times, From all places whence ye shall returne, they wil be vpon vs.
A i ka wa i hiki mai ai ka poe o ka Iuda, e noho ana ma kahi kokoko io lakou la, he umi ka lakou olelo ana mai ia makou, Maluna auanei o oukou, mai na wahi mai a pau a oukou e hoi mai ai ia makou.
13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall vpon the toppes of the stones, and placed the people by their families, with their swordes, their speares and their bowes.
A hoonoho iho la au ma na wahi haahaa iho ma ke kua o ka pa, a ma na wahi kiekie ae no hoi, hoonoho iho au i ka poo kanaka ma ko lakou mau ohana me ka lakou mau pahikaua, a me ka lakou mau ihe, a me ka lakou mau kakaka.
14 Then I behelde, and rose vp, and said vnto the Princes, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afrayde of them: remember the great Lord, and fearefull, and fight for your brethren, your sonnes, and your daughters, your wiues, and your houses.
A nana au a ku ae, a olelo aku la i na kaukaualii, a me na luna, a me ke koena o ka poe kanaka, Mai makau oukou imua o lakou; e hoomanao oukou i ka Haku nui hooweliweli, a e kaua oukou no ko oukou mau hoahanau, a me ka oukou mau keikikane, a me ka oukou mau kaikamahine, a me ka oukou mau wahine, a me ko oukou mau hale.
15 And when our enemies heard that it was knowen vnto vs, then God brought their counsell to nought, and we turned all againe to the wall, euery one vnto his worke.
A lohe ko makou poe enemi, ua ikea ia e makou, a ua hookahuli ke Akua i ko lakou manao, alaila hoi ae la makou a pau ma ka pa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kana hana iho.
16 And from that day, halfe of the yong men did the labour, and the other halfe part of them helde the speares, and shieldes, and bowes, and habergins: and the rulers stoode behinde all the house of Iudah.
A mai ia la mai, hana iho la ka hapalua o ka'u poe kauwa ma ka hana, a paa iho la kekahi hapalua o lakou i na ihe, a me na palekaua, a me na kakaka, a me na puliki koa; a o na luna, ma ke kua lakou o ko ka hale a pau o Iuda.
17 They that buylded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, and they that laded, did the worke with one hand, and with the other helde the sworde.
O ka poe e uhau ana i ka pa, a o ka poe e amo ana, a me ka poe e hoouka ana, hana iho la kela mea keia mea me kekahi lima ona ma ka hana, a me kekahi lima hoi paa iho la ia i ka mea kaua.
18 For euery one of the buylders had his sworde girded on his loynes, and so buylded: and he that blewe the trumpet, was beside me.
No ka mea, o ka poe o uhau ana, ua kaeiia lakou ma ko lakou mau puhaka, kela kanaka keia kanaka me kana pahikaua, a uhau iho la. A o ka mea nana i puhi ka pu, ma ko'u aoao ia.
19 Then saide I vnto the Princes, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The worke is great and large, and we are separated vpon the wall, one farre from another.
A i aku la au i na kaukaualii, a me na luna, a me ke koena o ka poe kanaka, Ua nui no ka hana, a ua palahalaha aku la, a ua kaawale kakou ma ka pa, a ua mamao aku kakou kekahi me kekahi.
20 In what place therefore ye heare the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither vnto vs: our God shall fight for vs.
Ma kahi a oukou e lohe ai i ke kani o ka pu, malaila oukou o akoakoa mai ai io makou la: o ko kakou Akua, oia ka mea nana e kaua marauli o kakou.
21 So we laboured in the worke, and halfe of them helde the speares, from the appearing of the morning, till the starres came foorth.
A hana iho la makou i ka hana; a o ka hapalua o lakou, paa iho la lakou i na ihe, mai ka wanaao a kau mai la na hoku.
22 And at the same time said I vnto the people, Let euery one with his seruant lodge within Ierusalem, that they may be a watch for vs in the night, and labour in the day.
A ia manawa olelo aku hoi au i ka poe kanaka, E moe kela kanaka keia kanaka me kana kauwa iloko o Ierusalema, i lilo lakou i poe kiaipo no kakou i ka po, a e hana hoi i ke ao.
23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my seruants, nor the men of the warde, (which followed me) none of vs did put off our clothes, saue euery one put them off for washing.
Aole hoi au, a me ko'u poe hoahanau, a me ko'u poe kauwa, a me ka poe koa i hahai mahope o'u, aole makou i wehe ae i ko makou kapa: me kela kanaka keia kanaka hoi kana mea kaua i ke kii ana i ka wai.
