< Nehemiah 6 >

1 Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates; )
मैले पर्खाल पुनर्निर्माण गरेर सिद्ध्याएको र टाल्नुपर्ने कुनै भाग नरहेको कुरो कुरो सन्बलत, तोबिया र अरबी गेशेमसाथै हाम्रा बाँकी शत्रुहरूले सुने, यद्यपि मैले मूल ढोकाहरूका खापाहरू भने बनाइसकेको थिइनँ ।
2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
सन्बलत र गेशेमले मलाई यसो भनी खबर पठाए, “आऊ, हामी ओनोको मैदानको कतैतिर भेटघाट गरौँ ।” तर तिनीहरूले मेरो हानि गर्ने मनसाय बनाएका थिए ।
3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
मैले यसो भनी तिनीहरूकहाँ सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएँ, “मैले महान् काम गरिरहेकोले म आउन सक्दिनँ । मैले काम छोडी तिमीहरूकहाँ आएर यो काम किन रोकिने?”
4 And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
तिनीहरूले मकहाँ उही खबर चार पटक पठाए, र मैले प्रत्येक पटक तिनीहरूलाई उही जवाफ दिएँ ।
5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
उसै गरी सन्बलतले पाँचौँ पटक पनि मकहाँ तिनको सेवक पठाए, जसको हातमा खोलिएको चिट्ठी थियो ।
6 wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou buildest the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words.
त्यहाँ यस्तो लेखिएको थियो, “जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा यस्तो खबर पुगेको छ र गेशेम पनि त्यही भन्छन्, कि तिमी र यहूदीहरूले विद्रोह गर्ने योजना बनाउँदै छौ । त्यसकारण तिमीहरूले यो पर्खाल पुनर्निर्माण गर्दै छौ । तिमी तिनीहरूका राजा हुनै लागेका छौ भनी यी खबरहरूले बताउँछन् ।
7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
यरूशलेममा तिम्रो बारेमा यो घोषणा गर्न तिमीहरूले अगमवक्ताहरू पनि नियुक्त गरेका छौ, 'यहूदामा राजा हुनुहुन्छ!' राजाले यी खबरहरू सुन्‍नेछन् भनी तिमी निश्‍चित हुन सक्छौ । त्यसकारण, आऊ र एक-अर्कासित कुराकानी गरौँ ।”
8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
तब मैले तिनीकहाँ यसो भनी खबर पठाएँ, “तिमीले भनेजस्ता कुनै पनि कुरा भएकै छैन, किनकि तिमीले आफ्नै ह्रदयमा ती रचेका हौ ।”
9 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. But now, [O God], strengthen thou my hands.
तिनीहरू सबैले हामीलाई यस्तो सोच्न लगाई भयभीत पार्न चाहन्थे, “काम गर्नदेखि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हात रोक्‍ने छन्, र यो काम सकिने थिएन ।” तर अब हे परमेश्‍वर, मेरा हात मजबुत पार्नुहोस् ।
10 And I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
म दलायाहका छोरा, महेतबेलका नाति शमायाहको घरमा गएँ, जो आफ्नै घरमा बन्दी बनाइएका थिए । तिनले भने, “हामी परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरभित्र भेटौँ, र मन्दिरका ढोकाहरू बन्द गरौँ किनकि तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंलाई मार्न आउँदै छन् । तपाईंलाई मार्न तिनीहरू रातमा आउँदै छन् ।”
11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “के मजस्तो मान्छे भाग्छ र? के मजस्तो मान्छे आफ्नै जीवन बचाउन मन्दिरभित्र जान सक्छ र? म भित्र जाने छैनँ ।”
12 And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him: but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएको होइन, तर तिनी आफैले मेरो विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी गरेका थिए भनी मैले महसुस गरेँ । तोबिया र सन्बलतले तिनलाई भाडामा लिएका थिए ।
13 For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
तिनले भनेझैँ गरेर पाप गर्न र मेरो अपमान हुने गरी मेरो ख्याति बिगार्न तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भाडामा लिई मलाई डराउन चाहन्थे ।
14 Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
हे मेरा परमेश्‍वर, तोबिया र सन्बलत अनि तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै कामलाई सम्झनुहोस् । साथै, मलाई डराउन खोज्ने अगमवादिनी नोअदिया र अरू बाँकी अगमवक्ताहरूलाई पनि सम्झनुहोस् ।
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.
यसरी बाउन्‍न दिनपछि एलूल महिनाको पच्‍चिसौँ दिनमा पर्खालको काम समाप्‍त भयो ।
16 And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard [thereof], that all the heathen that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
जब हाम्रा वरिपरि भएका हाम्रा सबै शत्रु र जातिहरूले यो सुने तिनीहरू डराए, तिनीहरू हतोत्साहित भए । किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको मदतले यो काम गरिएको थियो भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थियो ।
17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came unto them.
यस बेला यहूदाका कुलीनहरूले तोबियालाई धेरै चिट्ठीहरू पठाए, र तोबियाका चिट्ठीहरू पनि तिनीहरूकहाँ आए ।
18 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife.
किनकि यहूदामा कैयौँ मानिसहरू थिए जो तिनीसित शपथद्वारा बाँधिएका थिए किनकि तिनी आराका छोरा शकन्याहका जुवाइँ थिए । तिनका छोरा येहोहानानले बेरेक्याहका छोरा मशुल्लामकी छोरीसित विवाह गरेका थिए ।
19 Also they spake of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. [And] Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
तिनीहरूले तिनका असल कार्यहरू पनि मलाई बताए, र मेरा कामहरू तिनलाई बताइदिए ।
