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)
Tango Sanibala, Tobiya, Geshemi, moto ya mokili ya Arabi, mpe banguna na biso mosusu bayokaki ete nasilisi kotonga lisusu mir mpe etikali na lidusu ata moko te, atako na tango wana namitielaki nanu bizipelo ya bikuke te,
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.
Sanibala mpe Geshemi batindelaki ngai maloba oyo: — Yaka, tokutana na Kefirimi, kati na lubwaku ya Ono. Bazalaki na likanisi ya kosala ngai mabe.
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?
Natindelaki bango bamemi sango koyebisa bango eyano oyo: — Nazali na mosala monene ya kosala, nakokoka te koya kuna. Mpo na nini mosala etelema tango nakotika yango mpo na koya kokutana na bino?
4 Yet they sent vnto me foure times after this sort. And I answered them after the same maner.
Mbala minei, batindelaki ngai sango kaka moko; mpe tango nyonso, ngai mpe nazalaki kozongisela bango eyano kaka moko.
5 Then sent Sanballat his seruant after this sorte vnto me the fift time, with an open letter in his hand,
Na mbala ya mitano, Sanibala atindelaki ngai sango moko kaka wana na nzela ya mosali na ye, oyo asimbaki mokanda ya kofungwama na loboko na ye.
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.
Kati na mokanda yango, bakomaki: « Sango ezali kopanzana kati na bikolo, Geshemi abeti kutu sete mpo na koloba na ngai ete ezali penza solo, ete yo mpe Bayuda bozali komibongisa mpo na kotomboka, mpe ezali mpo na yango nde bozali kotonga lisusu mir oyo. Kolanda sango yango, ozali na posa ya kokoma mokonzi na bango;
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.
mpe osili kutu kopona basakoli mpo ete bapanza sango kati na Yelusalemi ete okomi mokonzi ya Yuda! Sik’oyo, yeba ete sango oyo ekokoma kino penza na matoyi ya mokonzi. Boye, yaka mpo ete tosolola na tina na yango! »
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.
Natindelaki ye eyano oyo: — Kati na nyonso oyo olobi, moko te ezali solo. Ezali makambo oyo yo moko ozali kokanisa na moto na yo!
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.
Bato wana nyonso bazalaki koluka kobangisa biso; bazalaki komilobela: — Maboko na bango ekolemba makasi, ekokoka lisusu kosala te; mpe mosala ekosila te, ekotelema! Bakolemba nzoto mpe bakosundola mosala! Kasi ngai nasambelaki: — Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, lendisa maboko na ngai!
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.
Mokolo moko, nakendeki na ndako ya Shemaya, mwana mobali ya Delaya, koko ya Metabeyeli, oyo amikangelaki na ndako na ye. Alobaki: — Tokutana kati na Ndako ya Nzambe, na kati-kati ya Esika ya bule, mpe tokanga bikuke na yango, pamba te bato bazali koya mpo na koboma yo; bakoya na butu mpo na koboma yo.
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.
Kasi nazongiselaki na ye: — Boni, moto lokola ngai akoki penza kokima! Kutu, moto nani lokola ngai akoki kokimela kati na Ndako ya Nzambe mpe abikisa bomoi na ye? Nakokende te!
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.
Nasosolaki mbala moko ete ezali Nzambe te nde atindi ye. Kasi apesaki lisakoli wana na tina na ngai, pamba te Tobiya mpe Sanibala bapesaki ye kanyaka.
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.
Bapesaki ye kanyaka mpo na kobangisa ngai, mpo ete nasala masumu tango nakolanda toli na ye; mpe mpo ete babebisa lokumu ya kombo na ngai mpe bayokisa ngai soni.
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.
Oh Nzambe na ngai, kanisa Tobiya mpe Sanibala mpo na misala na bango! Kanisa lisusu Noadia, mwasi mosakoli, elongo na basakoli mosusu oyo bazalaki komeka kobangisa ngai!
15 Notwithstanding the wall was finished on the fiue and twentieth day of Elul, in two and fiftie dayes.
Boye, misala ya kotonga mir esilaki na mokolo ya tuku mibale na mitano ya sanza ya Eluli; esalaki mikolo tuku mitano na mibale.
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.
Tango banguna na biso bayokaki sango yango, bato ya bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga bakomaki kobanga mpe koyoka soni na miso na bango moko, mpo ete basosolaki ete ezali kaka na lisungi ya Nzambe na biso nde mosala ya ndenge wana esalemaki.
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.
Na mikolo wana, bankumu ya Yuda bazalaki kotinda mikanda ebele epai ya Tobiya, mpe biyano ya Tobiya ezalaki kokomela bango.
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.
Pamba te bato ebele ya Yuda basalaki boyokani elongo na ye, na nzela ya ndayi, mpo ete azalaki bokilo ya Shekania, mwana mobali ya Ara, mpe mpo ete Yoanani, mwana na ye ya mobali, abalaki mwana mwasi ya Meshulami, mwana mobali ya Berekia.
19 Yea, they spake in his praise before me, and tolde him my wordes, and Tobiah sent letters to put me in feare.
Bazalaki kutu kokumisa misala na ye na miso na ngai mpe koyebisa ye maloba na ngai. Ezalaki Tobiya wana moto azalaki kotinda mikanda mpo na kobangisa ngai.
