< Nehemiah 2 >

1 And it came to pass, in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that, wine, was before him, —so I took up the wine, and gave unto the king, and I had never 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 Then said the king unto me, Wherefore is thy countenance sad, seeing that, thou, art not sick? this is nothing else, but sadness of heart. Then feared I exceedingly,
oru el siyuk, “Efu kom ku ngetnget in asor ouingan? Kom tia mas. Kalem lah kom supwar.” Nga lut
3 and said unto the king—Let the, king, unto times age-abiding, live! Wherefore should my countenance, not be sad, when, the city—the place of the sepulchres of my fathers, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are 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 Then the king said to me, Concerning what, is it, thou, wouldst make request? So I prayed unto the God of the heavens,
Na tokosra fulat el siyuk, “Mea kom enenu an?” Nga pre nu sin God lun Kusrao,
5 and then said unto the king, If, unto the king, it seemeth good, and if thy servant might find favour before thee, That thou wouldst send me unto Judah, unto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I might build 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 said unto me, the queen, also sitting beside him, For how long would be thy journey? and when wouldst thou return? So it seemed good before the king to send me, and I set 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 Then said I unto the king, If, unto the king, it seemeth good, may, letters, be given me, unto the pashas Beyond the River, —that they may convey me over, until I come into 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 also a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the park that belongeth unto the king, that he may give me timber to build up the gates of the fortress which pertaineth to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house whereinto I shall enter. And the king gave me, according to the good hand of my God upon 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 Then came I unto the pashas Beyond the River, and gave them the letters of the king, —now the king, had sent with me, captains of the army, 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, when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, heard of it, it vexed them, with a great vexation, —that there had come a man, to seek welfare, 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 So I entered Jerusalem, —and was there three days.
Nga som na nwe Jerusalem, ac ke len tolu
12 Then rose I by night, I, and a few men with me, I having told no man, what, my God, had been putting in my heart, to do for Jerusalem, —and, beast, was there none with me, save the beast on which, I myself, was 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 So I went forth through the valley-gate by night, even unto the front of the snake-fountain, and into the dung-gate, —and I viewed the walls of Jerusalem, how, they, were broken down, and, the gates thereof, 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 Then passed I over unto the fountain-gate, and unto the pool of the king, —but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
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 Then went I up in the torrent-bed, by night, and viewed the wall, —and turned back, and entered by the valley-gate, and so returned.
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 Now, the deputies, knew not whither I had gone, nor what I was doing, —not even to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the deputies, nor to the rest who were doing the work, had I as yet told 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 So I said unto them, Ye, can see the misfortune that, we, are in, how that, Jerusalem, lieth waste, and, the gates thereof, are burned with fire: Come, and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may remain, no longer, a reproach.
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 Then told I them, of the hand of my God, that, it, had been good upon me, as also of the words of the king, which he had spoken unto me, —so they said, We will arise and build! and they strengthened their hands right well.
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 But, when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed at us, and poured contempt upon us, —and said, What is this thing which ye would do? against the king, would ye rebel?
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 Then answered I them, and said to them—The God of the heavens—he, will prosper us, therefore, we his servants, will arise and build, —But, to you, pertaineth no portion, nor right, nor 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.”
