< Nehemiah 6 >
1 And it comes to pass, when it has been heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our enemies, that I have built the wall, and there has not been left in it a breach (also, until that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
Sa’ad da magana ta zo kunnen Sanballat, da Tobiya, da Geshem mutumin Arab da kuma sauran abokan gābanmu cewa na sāke gina katangar har babu sauran tsaguwa da ta ragu, ko da yake har zuwa lokacin ban sa ƙofofi a ƙyamare ba
2 that Sanballat sends, also Geshem, to me, saying, “Come and we meet together in the villages, in the Valley of Ono”; and they are thinking to do to me evil.
Sanballat da Geshem suka aika mini wannan saƙo cewa, “Ka zo, mu sadu a wani ƙauye a filin Ono.” Amma makirci ne suke yi don su cuce ni;
3 And I send to them messengers, saying, “A great work I am doing, and I am not able to come down; why does the work cease when I let it alone, and have come down to you?”
saboda haka sai na aika musu da wannan amsa, na ce, “Ina cikin babban aiki, ba zan kuwa iya gangarawa ba. Don me zan bar aikin yă tsaya don in gangara zuwa wurinku?”
4 And they send to me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.
Suka yi ta aiko mini da wannan saƙo har sau huɗu, ni kuwa na yi ta ba su amsa irin ta dā.
5 And Sanballat sends to me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
Sai sau na biya, Sanballat ya aiki mataimakinsa gare ni da irin saƙo guda, kuma a hannunsa akwai wasiƙar da ba a yimƙe ba
6 it is written in it, “Among the nations it has been heard, and Gashmu is saying: You and the Jews are thinking to rebel, therefore you are building the wall, and you have been to them for a king—according to these words!
wadda aka rubuta cewa, “An ba da labari cikin al’ummai, kuma Geshem ya ce gaskiya ne, cewa kai da Yahudawa kun shirya tawaye, saboda haka kuke sāke ginin katangar. Ban da haka ma, bisa ga waɗannan rahotanni kana shirin zaman sarkinsu
7 And also, you have appointed prophets to call for you in Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by the king according to these words; and now come, and we take counsel together.”
har ma ka naɗa annabawa su yi wannan shela game da kai a Urushalima, su ce, ‘Akwai sarki a Yahuda!’ To, wannan rahoto zai koma wurin sarki; saboda haka ka zo, mu tattauna wannan batu.”
8 And I send to him, saying, “It has not been according to these words that you are saying, for from your own heart you are devising them”;
Sai na aika masa wannan amsa, na ce, “Babu wani abu haka da yake faruwa; ka dai ƙaga wannan daga tunaninka ne.”
9 for all of them are making us afraid, saying, “Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done”; and now, strengthen my hands.
Suka dai yi ƙoƙari su tsoratar da mu, suna cewa, “Hannuwansu za su rasa ƙarfin yin aiki, ba kuwa za su ƙare aikin ba.” Amma na yi addu’a na ce, “Yanzu, ya Allah, ka ƙarfafa hannuwana.”
10 And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel—and he is restrained—and he says, “Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming to slay you—indeed, by night they are coming to slay you.”
Wata rana na tafi gidan Shemahiya ɗan Delahiya, ɗan Mehetabel, wanda aka hana fita a gidansa. Ya ce mini, “Mu sadu gobe a gidan Allah, a cikin haikali, mu kuma kulle ƙofofin haikali, gama mutane suna zuwa su kashe ka, tabbatacce za su zo da dare su kashe ka.”
11 And I say, “A man such as I—does he flee? And who as I, that goes into the temple, and lives? I do not go in.”
Amma na ce, “Ya kamata mutum kamar ni yă gudu? Ko kuwa ya kamata wani kamar ni yă shiga cikin haikali don yă ceci ransa? Ba zan tafi ba!”
12 And I discern, and behold, God has not sent him, for in the prophecy he has spoken to me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him,
Na gane cewa Allah bai aike shi ba, ya yi annabci a kaina domin Tobiya da Sanballat sun yi hayarsa ne.
13 so that he [is] a hired worker, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me.
An yi hayarsa don yă sa in ji tsoro in yi zunubi ta yin haka, sa’an nan za su ba ni mugun suna, su wofinta ni.
14 Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.
Ya Allahna, ka tuna da Tobiya da Sanballat, saboda abin da suka yi; ka kuma tuna da annabiya Nowadiya da sauran annabawa waɗanda suke ƙoƙari su tsorata ni.
15 And the wall is completed in the twenty-fifth of Elul, on the fifty-second day;
Cikin kwana hamsin da biyu aka gama gina katangar, a ranar ashirin da biyar ga watan Elul.
16 and it comes to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and all the nations who are all around us see, that they fall greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God has this work been done.
Sa’ad da dukan abokan gābanmu suka ji haka, dukan al’umman da suke kewaye da mu suka ji tsoro, suka rasa ƙarfin halinsu, domin sun gane cewa wannan aiki an yi shi da taimakon Allahnmu ne.
17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah are multiplying their letters going to Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming to them;
A waɗannan kwanaki, manyan garin Yahuda suka yi ta aika wasiƙu masu yawa zuwa ga Tobiya, shi kuma ya yi ta aika musu da amsoshi.
18 for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan has taken the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah;
Gama mutane da yawa a cikin Yahuda sun rantse wa Tobiya za su goyi bayansa, domin ya auri’yar Shekaniya, ɗan Ara. Ɗansa kuma, wato, Yehohanan, ya auri’yar Meshullam, ɗan Berekiya.
19 also, they have been speaking of his good deeds before me, and they have been taking my words out to him; Tobiah has sent letters to make me afraid.
Ban da haka ma, mutanen sun yi ta ba ni labarin ayyuka masu kyau da Tobiya ya yi, sa’an nan kuma suna faɗa masa duk abin da na faɗa. Tobiya kuwa ya aika wasiƙu don yă tsorata ni.
