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;
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 says to me, “Why [is] your face sad, and you not sick? This is nothing except sadness of heart”; and I fear very much,
oru el siyuk, “Efu kom ku ngetnget in asor ouingan? Kom tia mas. Kalem lah kom supwar.” Nga lut
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?”
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 says to me, “For what are you seeking?” And I pray to the God of the heavens,
Na tokosra fulat el siyuk, “Mea kom enenu an?” Nga pre nu sin God lun Kusrao,
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.”
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 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.
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 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:
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, 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 And I come to Jerusalem, and I am there three days,
Nga som na nwe Jerusalem, ac ke len tolu
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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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];
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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?”
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 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.”
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.”
