Nehemiah 2
1 It happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artachshasta the king, when wine was before me, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad before in his presence.
Iti bulan ti Nisan, iti maika-duapulo a tawen a panagturay ni Artaxerxes nga ari, nangpili isuna iti arak, innalak ti arak ket intedko daytoy iti ari. Ita, saanak pay a pulos a nagliday iti imatang ti ari.
2 The king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart." Then I was very much afraid.
Ngem kinuna ti ari kaniak, “Apay a nagliday ta rupam? Kasla saanka met a masakit. Mabalin a kinaliday ti puso daytoy.” Ket kasta unay ti panagbutengko.
3 I said to the king, "Let the king live forever. Why shouldn't my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?"
Kinunak iti ari, “Agbiag koma ti ari iti agnanayon! Apay koma a saan nga agliday ti rupak? Ti siudad, a nakaitaneman dagiti ammak, ket nadadael ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy.”
4 Then the king said to me, "For what do you make request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven.
Ket kinuna ti ari kaniak, “Ania ti kayatmo nga aramidek?” Isu a nagkararagak iti Dios ti langit.
5 I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may build it."
Ket insungbatko iti ari, “No kasla nasayaat daytoy iti ari, ken no makaay-ayo ti inaramid ti adipenmo iti imatangmo, ibaonnak koma a mapan idiay Juda, iti siudad a nakaitaneman dagiti ammak, tapno bangonek manen daytoy.”
6 The king said to me (the queen was also sitting by him), "For how long shall your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
Insungbat ti ari kaniak (nakatugaw met idi ti reyna iti abayna), “Kasano kabayag ti kaawanmo ken kaanoka nga agsubli?” Naragsakan ti ari a nangibaon kaniak idi imbagak kenkuana dagiti petsa.
7 Moreover I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;
Ket kinunak iti ari, “No pakaragsakan ti ari, ikkannak koma kadagiti surat para kadagiti gobernador iti ballasiw ti Karayan tapno palubosandak a lumabas kadagiti masakupanda iti panagturongko idiay Juda.
8 and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple, for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into." The king granted my requests, because of the good hand of my God on me.
Adda koma pay surat a para kenni Asaf nga agay-aywan iti kabakiran ti ari, tapno ikkannak iti tarikayo a maaramid nga awanan kadagiti ruangan ti sarikedked iti abay ti templo, para iti pader ti siudad, ken para iti balay a pagnaedak.” Ket gapu ta adda kaniak ti ima ti Dios, pinatgan ti ari dagiti kiddawko.
9 Then I came to the governors beyond the River, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.
Dimtengak kadagiti gobernador iti ballasiw ti Karayan, ket intedko kadakuada dagiti surat ti ari. Ita, pinakuyogannak ti ari kadagiti opisial ti armada ken lallaki a nakakabalio.
10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, because a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
Idi nangngeg daytoy da Sanballat a Horonita ken Tobias nga adipen nga Ammonita, saanda a naragsakan nga adda immay nga agtarigagay a tumulong kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
Isu a napanak idiay Jerusalem ken addaak idiay iti tallo nga aldaw.
12 I arose in the night, I and some few men with me. And I told no one what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; neither was there any animal with me, except the animal that I rode on.
Bimmangonak iti rabii, siak ken dagiti sumagmamano a lallaki a kaduak. Awan ti nangibagaak iti inkabil ti Diosko iti pusok nga aramidek para iti Jerusalem. Awan ti intugotko nga ayup, ti laeng ayup a pagsaksakayak.
13 I went out by night by the Valley Gate, even toward the Serpent's Well, and to the Dung Gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire.
Iti rabii, rimmuarak iti Ruangan ti Tanap, nga agturong iti Bubon ti Atap nga aso ken iti Ruangan a Pagiruaran ti Rugit ket sinukimatko dagiti pader ti Jerusalem a narba ken dagiti kayo a ruangan a napuoran.
14 Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool, but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass.
Kalpasanna, napanak iti Ruangan ti Burayok ken iti tangke ti ari. Nailet unay ti disso a paglasatan ti ayup a pagsaksakayak.
15 Then went I up in the night by the wadi, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the Valley Gate, and so returned.
Isu a napankami iti dayta a rabii iti tanap ket sinukimatmi ti pader, nagsubliak ket simrekak iti Ruangan ti Tanap ket nakasubliak ngarud.
16 The rulers did not know where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.
Saan nga ammo dagiti mangiturturay ti napanak wenno ti inaramidko ken saanko pay nga impakaammo kadagiti Judio, wenno kadagiti padi, wenno kadagiti opisial, wenno kadagiti mangiturturay, wenno kadagiti dadduma a nangaramid iti trabaho.
17 Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won't be disgraced."
Kinunak kadakuada, “Makitayo ti parikut a sangsangoentayo, no kasano a nadadael ti Jerusalem ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy. Umaykayo, ket bangonentayo manen ti pader ti Jerusalem tapno saantayon a maibabain.”
18 I told them of the hand of my God which was good on me, as also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. They said, "Let's rise up and build." So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
Imbagak kadakuada nga adda kaniak ti ima ti Dios ken kasta met dagiti sao ti ari nga imbagana kaniak. Kinunada, “Tumakdertayo ket bangonentayo.” Isu a pinapigsada dagiti imada para iti nasayaat a trabaho.
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they ridiculed us, and despised us, and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?"
Ngem idi nadamag da Sanballat a Horonita, Tobias, ti adipen nga Ammonita ken Gesem nga Arabo ti maipapan iti daytoy, linalais ken kinatkatawaandakami, ket kinunada, “Ania ti ar-aramidenyo? Busbusorenyo kadi ti ari?”
20 Then answered I them, and said to them, "The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem."
Ket insungbatko kadakuada, “Ti Dios ti langit ti mangted kadakami iti balligi. Adipennakami ket rugiananmi ti agpatakder. Ngem awan ti bingayyo, awan ti karbenganyo ken awan ti pasetyo iti pakasaritaan ti Jerusalem.”
