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.
Iti bulan ti Nisan, iti maika-duapulo a tawen a panagturay ni Artaxerxes nga ari, nangpili isuna iti arak, innalak ti arak ket intedko daytoy iti ari. Ita, saanak pay a pulos a nagliday iti imatang ti ari.
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,
Ngem kinuna ti ari kaniak, “Apay a nagliday ta rupam? Kasla saanka met a masakit. Mabalin a kinaliday ti puso daytoy.” Ket kasta unay ti panagbutengko.
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?
Kinunak iti ari, “Agbiag koma ti ari iti agnanayon! Apay koma a saan nga agliday ti rupak? Ti siudad, a nakaitaneman dagiti ammak, ket nadadael ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy.”
4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
Ket kinuna ti ari kaniak, “Ania ti kayatmo nga aramidek?” Isu a nagkararagak iti Dios ti langit.
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.
Ket insungbatko iti ari, “No kasla nasayaat daytoy iti ari, ken no makaay-ayo ti inaramid ti adipenmo iti imatangmo, ibaonnak koma a mapan idiay Juda, iti siudad a nakaitaneman dagiti ammak, tapno bangonek manen daytoy.”
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.
Insungbat ti ari kaniak (nakatugaw met idi ti reyna iti abayna), “Kasano kabayag ti kaawanmo ken kaanoka nga agsubli?” Naragsakan ti ari a nangibaon kaniak idi imbagak kenkuana dagiti petsa.
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;
Ket kinunak iti ari, “No pakaragsakan ti ari, ikkannak koma kadagiti surat para kadagiti gobernador iti ballasiw ti Karayan tapno palubosandak a lumabas kadagiti masakupanda iti panagturongko idiay Juda.
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.
Adda koma pay surat a para kenni Asaf nga agay-aywan iti kabakiran ti ari, tapno ikkannak iti tarikayo a maaramid nga awanan kadagiti ruangan ti sarikedked iti abay ti templo, para iti pader ti siudad, ken para iti balay a pagnaedak.” Ket gapu ta adda kaniak ti ima ti Dios, pinatgan ti ari dagiti kiddawko.
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.
Dimtengak kadagiti gobernador iti ballasiw ti Karayan, ket intedko kadakuada dagiti surat ti ari. Ita, pinakuyogannak ti ari kadagiti opisial ti armada ken lallaki a nakakabalio.
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.
Idi nangngeg daytoy da Sanballat a Horonita ken Tobias nga adipen nga Ammonita, saanda a naragsakan nga adda immay nga agtarigagay a tumulong kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
Isu a napanak idiay Jerusalem ken addaak idiay iti tallo nga aldaw.
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.
Bimmangonak iti rabii, siak ken dagiti sumagmamano a lallaki a kaduak. Awan ti nangibagaak iti inkabil ti Diosko iti pusok nga aramidek para iti Jerusalem. Awan ti intugotko nga ayup, ti laeng ayup a pagsaksakayak.
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.
Iti rabii, rimmuarak iti Ruangan ti Tanap, nga agturong iti Bubon ti Atap nga aso ken iti Ruangan a Pagiruaran ti Rugit ket sinukimatko dagiti pader ti Jerusalem a narba ken dagiti kayo a ruangan a napuoran.
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.
Kalpasanna, napanak iti Ruangan ti Burayok ken iti tangke ti ari. Nailet unay ti disso a paglasatan ti ayup a pagsaksakayak.
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.
Isu a napankami iti dayta a rabii iti tanap ket sinukimatmi ti pader, nagsubliak ket simrekak iti Ruangan ti Tanap ket nakasubliak ngarud.
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.
Saan nga ammo dagiti mangiturturay ti napanak wenno ti inaramidko ken saanko pay nga impakaammo kadagiti Judio, wenno kadagiti padi, wenno kadagiti opisial, wenno kadagiti mangiturturay, wenno kadagiti dadduma a nangaramid iti trabaho.
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.
Kinunak kadakuada, “Makitayo ti parikut a sangsangoentayo, no kasano a nadadael ti Jerusalem ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy. Umaykayo, ket bangonentayo manen ti pader ti Jerusalem tapno saantayon a maibabain.”
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.
Imbagak kadakuada nga adda kaniak ti ima ti Dios ken kasta met dagiti sao ti ari nga imbagana kaniak. Kinunada, “Tumakdertayo ket bangonentayo.” Isu a pinapigsada dagiti imada para iti nasayaat a trabaho.
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?
Ngem idi nadamag da Sanballat a Horonita, Tobias, ti adipen nga Ammonita ken Gesem nga Arabo ti maipapan iti daytoy, linalais ken kinatkatawaandakami, ket kinunada, “Ania ti ar-aramidenyo? Busbusorenyo kadi ti ari?”
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.
Ket insungbatko kadakuada, “Ti Dios ti langit ti mangted kadakami iti balligi. Adipennakami ket rugiananmi ti agpatakder. Ngem awan ti bingayyo, awan ti karbenganyo ken awan ti pasetyo iti pakasaritaan ti Jerusalem.”
