Nehemiah 6
1 And when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall, and that there were no more breaches therein, (though at that time I had not set vp the doores vpon the gates)
Ka wach nobiro ne Sanbalat, Tobia, Geshem ma ja-Arabu kod wasikwa mamoko modongʼ nine wagero ohinga kendo ne onge kamoro amora mane otuch, kata obedo ni e sechego ne pod ok aguro dhorangach.
2 Then sent Sanballat and Geshem vnto me, saying, Come thou that we may meete together in the villages in the plaine of Ono: and they thought to doe me euill.
Sanbalat kod Geshem noorona wach kama: “Bi mondo warom e achiel kuom mier mantiere e holo mar Ono.” To ma ne en mana riekogi mar hinya;
3 Therefore I sent messengers vnto them, saying, I haue a great worke to doe, and I can not come downe: why should the worke cease, whiles I leaue it, and come downe to you?
omiyo ne aoronegi jaote gi dwoko niya, “An kod tich maduongʼ kendo ok anyal lor piny. Ere gima tangʼ mi tich chungʼ mi aweye kendo alor piny abi iri?”
4 Yet they sent vnto me foure times after this sort. And I answered them after the same maner.
Ne giorona wach achielni nyadingʼwen, to seche duto ne amiyogi dwoko machalre.
5 Then sent Sanballat his seruant after this sorte vnto me the fift time, with an open letter in his hand,
Eka, e ote mar abich, Sanbalat noorona jakonyne mana gi wach achielni, kendo e lwete ne nitie baruwa ma ok omuon
6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu hath sayd it, that thou and the Iewes thinke to rebel, for the which cause thou buildest the wall and thou wilt bee their King according to these wordes.
mane ondike niya: “Oselandi e dier ogendini, kendo Geshem osewacho ni en adier ni in kod jo-Yahudi uchano mar monjowa, to ma emomiyo ugero ohingani. Kendo kaluwore gi wach moselandore en ni idwaro bedo ruodhgi
7 Thou hast also ordeyned the Prophets to preach of thee at Ierusalem, saying, There is a King in Iudah: and nowe according to these wordes it shall come to the Kings eares: come now therefore, and let vs take counsell together.
kendo iseyiero jonabi mondo okor wachni Jerusalem ni, ‘Nitiere ruoth e piny Juda!’ Koro wachni biro dwogone ruoth; omiyo bi, mondo wapim wachni.”
8 Then I sent vnto him, saying, It is not done according to these wordes that thou sayest: for thou feynest them of thine owne heart.
Ne aorone dwoko niya, “Gima iwachono ok en adier; mano iparo mana gi pachi owuon.”
9 For all they afrayed vs, saying, Their handes shalbe weakened from the worke, and it shall not be done: nowe therefore incourage thou me.
Ne gitemo mana mar bwogowa, kagiwacho niya, “Lwetgi biro bedo mayom yom, kendo ok gibi tieko tijni.” To ne alemo niya, “Yie imi lweta obed gi teko koro.”
10 And I came to the house of Shemaiah the sonne of Delaiah the sonne of Mehetabeel, and he was shut vp, and he said, Let vs come together into the house of God in the middes of the Temple, and shut the doores of the Temple: for they will come to slay thee: yea, in the night will they come to kill thee.
Chiengʼ moro achiel ne adhi e od Shemaya wuod Delaya, ma wuod Mehetabel, mane olorne ei dalane. Nowacho niya, “We warom e od Nyasaye, ei hekalu, kendo mondo walor dhout hekalu, nikech gibiro negi gotienoni.”
11 Then I said, Should such a man as I, flee? Who is he, being as I am, that would go into the Temple to liue? I will not goe in.
To ne awacho niya, “Bende dichwo machalo koda kama diringi? Koso ngʼato kaka an nyalo dhi ei hekalu mondo ores ngimane? Ok abi dhi kata nade!”
12 And loe, I perceiued, that God had not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecie against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Ne afwenyo ni Nyasaye ne ok oore, to ne osekoro wach kuoma nikech Tobia kod Sanbalat ne osengʼiewe mar timo kamano.
13 Therefore was he hyred, that I might be afrayde, and doe thus, and sinne, and that they might haue an euill report that they might reproche me.
Ne osengʼiewe mondo obwoga eka atim richo mar timo ma, bangʼe gimiya nying marach mar njawo kita.
14 My God, remember thou Tobiah, and Sanballat according vnto these their workes, and Noadiah the Prophetesse also, and the rest of the Prophets that would haue put me in feare.
Par Tobia kod Sanbalat, yaye Nyasacha, kuom gima gisetimo; par bende janabi madhako miluongo ni Noadia kod jonabi mamoko mosetemo bwoga.
15 Notwithstanding the wall was finished on the fiue and twentieth day of Elul, in two and fiftie dayes.
Omiyo gedo mar ohinga norumo e odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo gabich mar Elul, kendo gedono nokawo ndalo piero abich gariyo.
16 And when all our enemies heard thereof, euen all the heathen that were about vs, they were afraid, and their courage failed them: for they knew, that this worke was wrought by our God.
Ka wasikwa duto nowinjo ma, ogendini molworowa luoro nomako kendo chunygi nobwok, nikech negifwenyo ni tijni notim gi teko mar Nyasachwa.
17 And in these dayes were there many of the princes of Iudah, whose letters went vnto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah came vnto them.
Bende, e ndalogo joka ruoth ma Juda ne oro barupe mangʼeny ne Tobia, kendo dwoko mag Tobia ne medo bironegi.
18 For there were many in Iudah, that were sworne vnto him: for he was the sonne in lawe of Shechaniah, the sonne of Arah: and his sonne Iehonathan had the daughter of Meshullam, the sonne of Berechiah.
Nimar ji mangʼeny Juda nokwongʼorene, nikech ne en or Shekania wuod Ara, to wuode Jehohanan nonywomo nyar Meshulam wuod Berekia.
19 Yea, they spake in his praise before me, and tolde him my wordes, and Tobiah sent letters to put me in feare.
Kata kamano, negisiko ka gikelona wach mar timne maber kendo nyise gima awacho. To Tobia nodhi nyime ka orona barupe mondo gibwogago.
