Nehemiah 2
1 AND it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
Sie len, tukun malem akosr, ke Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes el mongo, nga us wain nu yorol. El tia wi liye ngan ngetnget in asor ouinge meet,
2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
oru el siyuk, “Efu kom ku ngetnget in asor ouingan? Kom tia mas. Kalem lah kom supwar.” Nga lut
3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
ac nga fahk, “Finsrak in paht moul lal Tokosra! Ac fuka nga in tia ngetnget in asor, ke siti se ma mwet matu luk pukpuki we uh musalla, ac mutunpot uh firiryak?”
4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
Na tokosra fulat el siyuk, “Mea kom enenu an?” Nga pre nu sin God lun Kusrao,
5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.
na nga fahk nu sin tokosra fulat, “Nga fin ohi ye motom, ac kom fin insewowo in porongo mwe siyuk luk, lela tuh nga in som nu in acn Judah, nu ke siti se mwet matu luk pukpuki we, tuh nga in ku in sifilpa musaeak acn we.”
6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him, ) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
Na tokosra fulat el insese nu ke siyuk luk, ac kasra el muta siskal. Tokosra fulat el siyuk sik lusen pacl nga ac som ac nga ac foloko ngac, ac nga fahkang nu sel.
7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
Na nga siyuk sel elan nunak munas ase leta nu sin governor nukewa lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, in fahk nu selos elos in fuhlela tuh nga in fahla na nwe Judah.
8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Nga oayapa siyuk ke sie leta nu sel Asaph, mwet karingin insak lun tokosra, in akkalemye nu sel tuh elan kasreyu ke sak, ma in sang orala srungul ke pot ma karingin Tempul, oayapa pot lun siti uh, ac in musai sie lohm nga in muta loac. Tokosra fulat el se nu sik ma nukewa nga siyuk kac, mweyen God El wiyu.
9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
Tokosra fulat el sap kutu captain lun un mwet mweun, wi sie un mwet kasrusr fin horse, in wiyu, na nga mukuiyak som nu Roto-in-Euphrates. Nga sang leta lal tokosra fulat nu sin governor nukewa we.
10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
Tuh Sanballat, sie mwet liki siti srisrik Beth Horon, ac Tobiah, sie mwet pwapa in acn Ammon, eltal lohng lah oasr mwet se tuku in oru sie orekma su ac wo nu sin mwet Israel, na elos arulana sulungkin.
11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
Nga som na nwe Jerusalem, ac ke len tolu
12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
nga tia fahk nu sin kutena mwet ma God El pirikyu in oru ke acn Jerusalem. Na ke infulwen fong, nga tukakek ac tufoki, ac us kutu selos su wiyu. Kosro soko na pa kut us, pa donkey soko nga muta fac.
13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
Srakna fong ke kut illa liki siti sac ke Mutunpot Infahlfal, layen roto, ac fahla nu eir aliki Nien Kof Dragon, nu ke kut sun Mutunpot Kutkut. Ke nga fahsr, nga tuni pot mukukla lun siti sac ac mutunpot ma musalla ke e.
14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
Na ke layen kutulap in siti sac, nga fahla nu epang, nu ke Mutunpot Unon, ac Lulu lun Tokosra. Donkey soko nga muta fac kofla konauk acn elan ut we inmasrlon eot mukukla ah,
15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.
na nga tari na tufokla nu Infahlfal Kidron ac fahfahla intoein pot uh. Na nga folok ke pacna inkanek nga tuku kac, ac sifil utyak nu in siti ah ke Mutunpot Infahlfal ah.
16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
Wangin mwet fulat in siti sac etu yen nga som nu we, ku mea nga oru. In pacl sac nga soenna fahk kutena ma nu sin kutena mwet Jew saya — finne mwet tol, ku mwet kol, ku mwet pwapa, ku kutepacna mwet su ac wi oasr ip la ke orekma ah.
17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
Tuh pa inge, nga fahkang nu selos, “Liye elya se kut oasr kac inge ke sripen Jerusalem musalla ac mutunpot we uh kunanula! Lela kut in sifil musaeak pot lun siti uh, tuh in tia sifil sununteiyuk kut.”
18 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
Ac nga srumun nu selos ouiya nukewa ma God El tuh wiyu ac kasreyu kac, oayapa ke kas lun tokosra fulat nu sik. Elos topuk ac fahk, “Nokwal, kut sifilpa mutawauk musaela!” Ac elos akola in mutawauk orekma sac.
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?
Ke Sanballat, Tobiah, ac sie mwet Arab pangpang Geshem elos lohng ma kut lumahla in oru inge, elos isrun kut ac fahk, “Mea se komtal nunkeyuk oru ingan? Ya kowos ac orek keke lainul tokosra fulat?”
20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
Nga topkolos, “God lun Kusrao fah ase wo ouiya nu sesr. Kut mwet kulansap lal, ac kut ac mutawauk musa se inge. A funu komtal, wanginna acn lomtal in Jerusalem, ac wangin ip lomtal yorosr oemeet me.”
