Nehemiah 4
1 But it happened that when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
A LOHE o Sanebalata, e uhau ana makou i ka pa, alaila huhu mai no ia a nkiuki loa iho la, a akaaka mai no hoi ia i ka Iuda.
2 And he spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, which are burned?"
A olelo ae la ia imua o kona mau hoahanau a me ka poe koa no Samaria, i ae la, Heaha ka mea a ka Iuda a ka poe nawaliwali e hana nei? E oki anei lakou, o lakou iho? e mohai anei lakou? e hoopau anei lakou i ka la hookahi? e hoala anei lakou i na pohaku mailoko ae o na puu opala i puhiia?
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, "What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall."
A aia o Tobia ka Amona ma kona aoao; a i ae la ia, O keia mea a lakou e uhau nei, ea, ina e pii kekahi alopeke maluna iho, e hoohiolo no ia i ko lakou papohaku.
4 "Hear, our God; for we are despised; and turn back their insults on their own head, give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;
E hoolohe mai oe, e ko makou Akua; no ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia makou; a e hoihoi aku oe i ka lakou hoino ana maluna o ko lakou poo iho, a e hoolilo aku oe ia lakou i poe pio ma ka aina e noho pio ai.
5 do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders."
Mai uhi oe i ko lakou hala, aole hoi e holoi i ko lakou hewa mai kou alo aku; no ka mea, ua hoonaukiuki mai lakou ma ke alo o ka poe e uhau ana.
6 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height: for the people had a mind to work.
A uhau iho la makou i ka pa; a huiia ka pa a pau a hiki i ka waenakonu ona; no ka mea, he hoihoi ko ka poe kanaka e hana.
7 But it happened that when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, then they were very angry;
A i ka wa i lohe ai o Sanebalata, a me Tobia, a me ko Arabia, a me ko Amona, a me ko Asedoda, ua hoalaia ka pa o Ierusalema, a ua kiekie a kokoke no e paniia ae na wahi i wawahiia, alaila huhu loa iho la lakou.
8 and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion in it.
A ohumu pu ae ia lakou a pau e hele mai a e kaua mai ia Ierusalema, a e hana i ka mea e keakea ai.
9 But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
Aka, pule aku la makou i ko makou Akua, a hoonoho iho la i poe nana e kiai aku ia lakou i ka po a me ke ao. mamua mai o ko lakou alo.
10 Judah said, "The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall."
A i mai la o Iuda, Ua pau ae la ka ikaika o ka poe nana e amo, a ua nui ka opala; a aole e hiki ia makou ke uhau i ka pa.
11 Our adversaries said, "They shall not know, neither see, until we come into their midst, and kill them, and cause the work to cease."
A olelo ae la ko makou poe enemi, Aole e ike lakou, aole hoi e nana mai, a hiki makou iwaena konu I o lakou, a Iuku aku ia lakou, a hooki ae i ka hana.
12 It happened that when the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."
A i ka wa i hiki mai ai ka poe o ka Iuda, e noho ana ma kahi kokoko io lakou la, he umi ka lakou olelo ana mai ia makou, Maluna auanei o oukou, mai na wahi mai a pau a oukou e hoi mai ai ia makou.
13 Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
A hoonoho iho la au ma na wahi haahaa iho ma ke kua o ka pa, a ma na wahi kiekie ae no hoi, hoonoho iho au i ka poo kanaka ma ko lakou mau ohana me ka lakou mau pahikaua, a me ka lakou mau ihe, a me ka lakou mau kakaka.
14 I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses."
A nana au a ku ae, a olelo aku la i na kaukaualii, a me na luna, a me ke koena o ka poe kanaka, Mai makau oukou imua o lakou; e hoomanao oukou i ka Haku nui hooweliweli, a e kaua oukou no ko oukou mau hoahanau, a me ka oukou mau keikikane, a me ka oukou mau kaikamahine, a me ka oukou mau wahine, a me ko oukou mau hale.
15 It happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, that we returned all of us to the wall, everyone to his work.
A lohe ko makou poe enemi, ua ikea ia e makou, a ua hookahuli ke Akua i ko lakou manao, alaila hoi ae la makou a pau ma ka pa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kana hana iho.
16 It happened from that time forth that half of my servants would do the work and half of them held the spears, and the shields, and the bows, and the body armor; and the rulers stood behind the whole house of Judah
A mai ia la mai, hana iho la ka hapalua o ka'u poe kauwa ma ka hana, a paa iho la kekahi hapalua o lakou i na ihe, a me na palekaua, a me na kakaka, a me na puliki koa; a o na luna, ma ke kua lakou o ko ka hale a pau o Iuda.
17 who were building the wall. And those who carried loads held their load with one hand and with the other held a weapon;
O ka poe e uhau ana i ka pa, a o ka poe e amo ana, a me ka poe e hoouka ana, hana iho la kela mea keia mea me kekahi lima ona ma ka hana, a me kekahi lima hoi paa iho la ia i ka mea kaua.
18 and the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.
No ka mea, o ka poe o uhau ana, ua kaeiia lakou ma ko lakou mau puhaka, kela kanaka keia kanaka me kana pahikaua, a uhau iho la. A o ka mea nana i puhi ka pu, ma ko'u aoao ia.
19 I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, "The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another.
A i aku la au i na kaukaualii, a me na luna, a me ke koena o ka poe kanaka, Ua nui no ka hana, a ua palahalaha aku la, a ua kaawale kakou ma ka pa, a ua mamao aku kakou kekahi me kekahi.
20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally there to us. Our God will fight for us."
Ma kahi a oukou e lohe ai i ke kani o ka pu, malaila oukou o akoakoa mai ai io makou la: o ko kakou Akua, oia ka mea nana e kaua marauli o kakou.
21 So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.
A hana iho la makou i ka hana; a o ka hapalua o lakou, paa iho la lakou i na ihe, mai ka wanaao a kau mai la na hoku.
22 Likewise at the same time said I to the people, "Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day."
A ia manawa olelo aku hoi au i ka poe kanaka, E moe kela kanaka keia kanaka me kana kauwa iloko o Ierusalema, i lilo lakou i poe kiaipo no kakou i ka po, a e hana hoi i ke ao.
23 So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.
Aole hoi au, a me ko'u poe hoahanau, a me ko'u poe kauwa, a me ka poe koa i hahai mahope o'u, aole makou i wehe ae i ko makou kapa: me kela kanaka keia kanaka hoi kana mea kaua i ke kii ana i ka wai.
