Nehemiah 6
1 NOW it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates; )
Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem, ac mwet lokoalok lasr saya elos lohngak lah kut aksafyela tari pot uh, ac wangin acn lula ma soenna fonfon uh, tusruktu soenna tulokyak srungul nu ke mutunpot uh.
2 That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Ouinge Sanballat ac Geshem sapma nu sik tuh nga in osun yoroltal in sie siti ke acn tupasrpasr in acn Ono. Kutasrik se laltal pa inge, tuh eltal in orek lokoalok nu sik.
3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
Nga supwala mwet utuk kas in fahk nu seltal, “Nga kafofo ke sie orekma na yohk sripa, ac nga tia ku in fahsrot. Nga ac tia tulokinya orekma uh tuh nga in tufoki nu yurumtal.”
4 Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
Pacl akosr eltal supu kas sacna, ac ke kais sie pacl nga topkolos ke top sacna.
5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
Na Sanballat el supwama sie sin mwet kulansap lal nu yuruk ke sap soko aklimekosr, ac ma se inge tuku ke sie leta ma tia kauli.
6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
Pa inge kas kac uh: “Geshem el fahk nu sik mu oasr kas se srumunyuk inmasrlon mutanfahl raunikutla inge lah kom ac mwet Jew akola in tuyak lain kut, pa pwanang kowos sifil musai pot an. El fahk pac mu kom sifacna nunku in oru tuh kom in tokosra faclos,
7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
ac kom sapkin nu sin kutu mwet palu tuh elos in sulkakin in acn Jerusalem lah kom pa tokosra lun Judah. Kalem lah Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes el ac lohng ke ma inge, na pa nga ngisre tuh nga kom in osun ac aetuila ke ma inge nukewa.”
8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
Nga supwala top se inge nu sel: “Wangin kas pwaye ke ma kom fahk an. Ma na kom sifacna kinauk.”
9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
Elos srike na in aksangengye kut in tulokinya orekma uh. Na nga pre ac fahk, “Inge, O God, oru tuh nga in ku!”
10 Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
Ke pacl se inge, nga tuh tufokla in mutwata yorol Shemaiah su tia ku in illa liki lohm sel — el wen natul Delaiah, wen natul Mehetabel. El fahk nu sik, “Nga kom enenu in som ac tukeni wikla in Acn Mutal ke Tempul, ac lakiya srungul uh, mweyen elos ac tuku in unikomi. Siena sin fong inge elos ac tuku unikomi.”
11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
Na nga topuk ac fahk, “Nga tia kain mwet se ma kaing ac wikwik. Ya kom nunku mu nga ac som wikla in Tempul in molela moul luk? Nga fah tiana.”
12 And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Ke nga nunku kac, nga akilen tuh God El tiana kaskas nu sel Shemaiah, a Tobiah ac Sanballat tuh moli nu sel elan fahk nu sik kas in sensenkakin inge.
13 Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
Eltal moleang nu sel elan aksangengyeyu nga in oru ma koluk, eltal in mau akkolukyela inek, ac aklusrongtenyeyu.
14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
Nga pre, “O God, esamya ma Tobiah ac Sanballat eltal orala, ac sang kaiyuk nu seltal. Esam pac mutan sac Noadiah ac mwet palu saya nukewa su tuh srike in aksangengyeyu.”
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
Ke len aklongoul limekosr ke malem Elul, tukun len in orekma lumngaul luo, nufonna pot sac aksafyeyukla.
16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
Ke mwet lokoalok lasr in mutunfacl ma apinkutla lohng kac, elos pulakunak lah elos mwekinla, mweyen mwet nukewa etu na lah orekma sac orekla ke kasreyuk lun God.
17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
In pulan pacl sac nufon, leta puspis supweyuk inmasrlon mwet kol lun mwet Jew ac Tobiah.
18 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Mwet puspis in Judah tuh welul lac, mweyen papa talupal Tobiah pa Shecaniah, sie mwet Jew, wen natul Arah. Wikin pac lah Jehohanan, wen natul Tobiah, el payuk sin acn se natul Meshullam, wen natul Berechiah.
19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
Mwet uh kaskas na ye mutuk in srumun orekma wo nukewa Tobiah el orala, ac elos fahk pac nu sel ma nukewa ma nga fahk. A el nuna supweyuk leta nu sik in srike in aksangengyeyu.
