Nehemiah 2
1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan of the twentieth year of king Arthasastha, that the wine was before me: and I took the wine, and gave [it] to the king: and there was not another before him.
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 And the king said to me, Why is your countenance sad, and do you not control yourself? and now this is nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was very much alarmed,
oru el siyuk, “Efu kom ku ngetnget in asor ouingan? Kom tia mas. Kalem lah kom supwar.” Nga lut
3 and I said to the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be said, forasmuch as the city, even the home of the sepulchres of my fathers, has been laid waste, and her gates have been devoured 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 And the king said to me, For what do you ask thus? 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 to the king, If [it seem] good to the king, and if your servant shall have found favor in your sight, [I ask] that [you] would send him into Juda, to the city of the sepulchres of my fathers; then will I rebuild 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, and his concubine that sat next to him, said to me, For how long will your journey be, and when will you return? and [the proposal] was pleasing before the king, and he sent me away, and I appointed 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 And I said to the king, If [it seem] good to the king, let him give me letters to the governors beyond the river, so as to forward me till I come to Juda;
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 to Asaph the keeper of the garden which belongs to the king, that he may give me timber to cover the gates, and for the wall of the city, and for the house into which I shall enter. And the king gave to me, according as the good hand of God [was 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 And I came to the governors beyond the river, and I gave them the king's letters. (Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.)
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 And Sanaballat the Aronite heard [it], and Tobia the servant, the Ammonite, and it was grievous to them that a man was come to seek good for 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 rose up by night, I and a few men with me; and I told no man what God put into my heart to do with Israel; and there was no beast with me, except the beast which 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 forth by the gate of the valley by night, and to the mouth of the well of fig trees, and to the dung-gate: and I mourned over the wall of Jerusalem which they were destroying, and her gates were devoured 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 And I passed on to the fountain gate, and to the king's pool; and there was no room for the beast to pass under me.
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 And I went up by the wall of the brook by night, and mourned over the wall, and passed through the gate of the valley, and 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 sentinels knew not why I went, nor what I was doing; and until that time I told [it] not to the Jews, or to the priests, or to the nobles, or to the captains, or to the rest [of the men] who wrought the works.
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 I said to them, You see this evil, in which we are, how Jerusalem is desolate, and her gates have been set on fire: come, and let us build throughout the wall of Jerusalem, and we shall be no longer 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 And I told them of the hand of God which was good upon me, also about the words of the king which he spoke to me: and I said, Let us arise and build. And their hands were strengthened for the 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 And Sanaballat the Aronite, and Tobia the servant, the Ammonite, and Gesam the Arabian, heard [it], and they laughed us to scorn, and came to us, and said, What [is] this thing that you are doing? are you revolting 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 And I answered them, and said to them, The God of heaven, he shall prosper us, and we his servants are pure, and we will build: but you have no part, 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.”
