Nehemiah 2
1 And it comes to pass, in the month of Nisan, the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, wine [is] before him, and I lift up the wine, and give to the king, and I had not been sad before him;
E dwe mar Nisan e higa mar piero ariyo mar loch Ruoth Artaksases, kane okelne divai, ne akawo divai mi amiyo ruoth. Ne pok abedo ka an gi kuyo e nyime nyaka nene;
2 and the king says to me, “Why [is] your face sad, and you not sick? This is nothing except sadness of heart”; and I fear very much,
omiyo ruoth nopenja niya, “Ere gima omiyo ikuyo to ok ituo? Ma ok en kuyo akuya makmana ni en mar chuny.” Ne aluor ahinya,
3 and say to the king, “Let the king live for all time! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of the graves of my fathers, [is] a desolation, and its gates have been consumed with fire?”
makmana ne awachone ruoth niya, “Mad ruoth dag amingʼa! Dabed gi mor nade ka dala maduongʼ mane kwerena oyikie omukore, kendo dhorangeyene osewangʼ gi mach.”
4 And the king says to me, “For what are you seeking?” And I pray to the God of the heavens,
Ruoth nowachona niya, “En angʼo midwaro?” Bangʼe to ne alamo Nyasach Polo,
5 and say to the king, “If [it is] good to the king, and if your servant is pleasing before you, that you send me to Judah, to the city of the graves of my fathers, and I have built it.”
mi adwoko ruoth niya, “Ka berne ruoth kendo ka jatichni oyudo ngʼwono e wangʼe, to ber mondo oora e dala maduongʼ man Juda kama kwerena oikie mondo agere kendo.”
6 And the king says to me (and the queen is sitting near him), “How long is your journey? And when do you return?” And it is good before the king, and he sends me away, and I set to him a time.
Eka ruoth, kaachiel gi mikache kobedo bathe nopenja niya, “Wuodhino biro kawo thuolo maromo nade, to ibiro duogo karangʼo?” Ne berne ruoth mondo oora; omiyo ne achiwo odiechiengʼ monego awuogie.
7 And I say to the king, “If [it is] good to the king, let letters be given to me for the governors beyond the River, that they let me pass over until I come to Judah:
Bende ne awachone niya, “Ka berne ruoth, to mad miya barupe mondo aterne jotelo man loka aora Yufrate, mondo omi gibi gimiya rit makare nyaka achopi Juda?
8 and a letter to Asaph, keeper of the paradise that the king has, that he give to me trees for beams [for] the gates of the palace that the house has, and for the wall of the city, and for the house into which I enter”; and the king gives to me, according to the good hand of my God on me.
Kendo mad imiya baruwa ma aterone Asaf, ma jarit yiend bunge magi, mondo obi omiya sirni migerogo dhoranga dala maduongʼ mochomore gi hekalu kendo alosgo ohinga mar dala kod ot mabiro dakie?” To nikech lwet Nyasacha ma jangʼwono ne ni koda, ruoth noyie gi kwayona duto.
9 And I come to the governors beyond the River, and give to them the letters of the king; and the king sends with me heads of a force, and horsemen;
Omiyo ne adhi ir jotelo man loka aora Yufrate mi amiyogi barupe ruoth. Ruoth noora gi jotend jolweny kod jolweny makedo koidho farese.
10 and Sanballat the Horonite hears, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and it is evil to them—a great evil—that a man has come to seek good for the sons of Israel.
Kane Sanbalat ma ja-Horon kod Tobia ja-Amon ma jatelo nowinjo ma, negibedo kod achiedh-nade ahinya ni ngʼato osebiro madwaro kelo dongruok ni jo-Israel.
11 And I come to Jerusalem, and I am there three days,
Ne adhi Jerusalem, kendo bangʼ kane asetieko ndalo adek kanyo,
12 and I rise by night, I and a few men with me, and have not declared to a man what my God is giving to my heart to do for Jerusalem, and there is no beast with me except the beast on which I am riding.
ne awuok gotieno kod jomoko manok. Ne pod ok anyiso ngʼato angʼata gima Nyasacha noketo e chunya mondo atimne Jerusalem. Ne onge kweth mag farese mane an godo makmana mano mane aidho.
13 And I go out through the Valley Gate by night, and to the front of the Dragon Fountain, and to the Refuse Gate, and I am inspecting the walls of Jerusalem, that are broken down, and its gates consumed with fire.
Kane ochopo otieno ne adhi kaluwo Dhoranga Holo kochiko Soko mar Thuol kod Dhoranga Owuoyo, ka anono ohingni mag Jerusalem, mane osegore piny, kod dhorangeyigi mane osewangʼ gi mach.
14 And I pass over to the Fountain Gate, and to the King’s Pool, and there is no place for the beast under me to pass over,
Bangʼe ne adhi nyime nyaka e Dhoranga Thidhia kod Dago mar Ruoth, makmana ne onge thuolo kama farasa ne nyalo kadhogo;
15 and I am going up through the brook by night, and am inspecting the wall, and turn back, and come in through the Valley Gate, and turn back.
omiyo nadhi nyaka e holo gotieno, kanono ohinga. Mogik, ne alokora mi achako adonjo kendo gie Dhoranga Holo.
16 And the prefects have not known to where I have gone, and what I am doing; and to the Jews, and to the priests, and to the nobles, and to the prefects, and to the rest of those doing the work, until now I have not declared [it];
Jotelo ne ok ongʼeyo kuma ne adhiyoe, kata gima ne atimo, nikech ne pod ok awacho gimoro ne jo-Yahudi kata jodolo kata joka ruoth kata jotelo kata joma moko mane biro tiyo tijno.
17 and I say to them, “You are seeing the evil that we are in, in that Jerusalem [is] desolate, and its gates have been burned with fire; come and we build the wall of Jerusalem, and we are not a reproach anymore.”
Bangʼe ne awachonegi niya, “Uneno thagruok ma wantiere godo: Jerusalem osemuki, to dhorangeyege osewangʼ gi mach. Biuru wager ohinga mar Jerusalem kendo, to ok wanachak wabed e wichkuot kendo.”
18 And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good on me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, “Let us rise, and we have built”; and they strengthen their hands for good.
Ne akonegi bende kuom Nyasacha ma jangʼwono mane ni koda kod gima ruoth nowachona. Ne gidwoka niya, “Wachakuru gedo kendo.” Omiyo negichako tich maberni.
19 And Sanballat the Horonite hears, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, and they mock at us, and despise us, and say, “What [is] this thing that you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?”
To ka Sanbalat ma ja-Horon, Tobia ma jatend jo-Amon kod Geshem ma ja-Arabu nowinjo wach gedoni, ne gijarowa kendo buonowa ka gipenjo niya, “Angʼo ma utimoni? Dibed ni ungʼanyo ne ruoth?”
20 And I return them word, and say to them, “The God of the heavens—He gives prosperity to us, and we His servants rise and have built; and to you there is no portion, and right, and memorial in Jerusalem.”
Ne adwokogi niya, “Nyasach polo biro miyowa loch. Wan jotichne wabiro gedo kendo, makmana un, to uonge gi pok e Jerusalem kata dwaro moro amora kata rapar moro amora kuome.”
