< Nehemiah 2 >
1 And it was - in [the] month of Nisan year twenty of Artaxerxes the king wine [was] before him and I took the wine and I gave [it]! to the king and not I had been sad before him.
Heoi i te marama Nihana i te rua tekau o nga tau o Kingi Arataherehe, i te mea he waina i tona aroaro, ka hapainga ake e ahau te waina, hoatu ana ki te kingi. Kahore hoki ahau i pouri i mua atu i tona aroaro.
2 And he said to me the king why? - [is] face your sad and you not you [are] sick [is] nothing this that except sadness of heart and I was afraid greatly very.
Na ka mea te kingi ki ahau, He aha tou kanohi i pouri ai; kahore nei hoki ou mate? ehara tenei i te mea ke atu i te pouri o te ngakau. Na nui atu toku wehi.
3 And I said to the king the king for ever may he live why? not will they be sad face my that the city [the] house of [the] tombs of ancestors my [is] desolate and gates its they have been consumed by fire.
Ano ra ko ahau ki te kingi, Kia ora tonu te kingi: he aha toku mata i kore ai e pouri, i te mea kua ururuatia te pa, te whare o nga tanumanga o oku matua, a kua pau ona keti i te ahi?
4 And he said to me the king on what? this [are] you requesting and I prayed to [the] God of the heavens.
Ano ra ko te kingi ki ahau, He aha te mea ka tonoa nei e koe? Heoi ko taku inoinga ki te Atua o te rangi.
5 And I said to the king if [is] on the king good and if he is good servant your before you that you will send me to Judah to [the] city of [the] tombs of ancestors my and I will rebuild it.
Na ka ki atu ahau ki te kingi, Ki te pai te kingi, ki te mea hoki e paingia ana tau pononga i tou aroaro, kia unga ahau e koe ki Hura, ki te pa o nga tanumanga o oku matua, kia hanga ai e ahau.
6 And he said to me the king and the queen-consort - [was] sitting beside him until when? will it be journey your and when? will you return and it was good before the king and he sent me and I gave! to him a time.
Na ka mea te kingi ki ahau, i tona taha ano hoki te kuini e noho ana, Kia pehea te roa ou ka haere nei; a hei a hea koe hoki mai ai? Na kua pai ki te kingi kia unga ahau: a whakaritea ana e ahau he wa ki a ia.
7 And I said to the king if [is] on the king good letters let people give to me to [the] governors of beyond the River that they will allow to pass through me until that I will come to Judah.
I mea ano ahau ki te kingi, Ki te pai te kingi, me homai he pukapuka ki ahau ki nga kawana i tawahi o te awa, kia tukua ahau e ratou kia puta atu a tae noa ki Hura;
8 And a letter to Asaph [the] keeper of the forest which [belongs] to the king that he will give to me wood to make beams for [the] gates of the citadel which [belongs] to the house and for [the] wall of the city and for the house which I will go into it and he gave [them] to me the king according to [the] hand of God my good on me.
He pukapuka ano hoki ki a Ahapa, kaitiaki o te ngahere a te kingi, kia homai e ia etahi rakau ki ahau hei hanga mo nga kurupae o nga keti o te nohoanga rangatira i te whare, mo te taiepa hoki o te pa, mo te whare hoki e haere atu ai ahau. Na ka h omai e te kingi ki ahau: i rite tonu ki ta te ringa pai o toku Atua i runga i ahau.
9 And I went to [the] governors of beyond the River and I gave! to them [the] letters of the king and he had sent with me the king commanders of [the] army and horsemen.
Katahi ka haere ahau ki nga kawana i tera taha o te awa; hoatu ana e ahau nga pukapuka, a te kingi ki a ratou. I unga ano e te kingi etahi rangatira hoia, me etahi hoia eke hoiho hei hoa moku.
10 And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite and it was displeasing to them displeasure great that he had come someone to seek good for [the] people of Israel.
A, no te rongonga o Hanaparata Horoni raua ko te pononga, ko Topia Amoni, nui rawa te kino i kino ai ki a raua; no te mea kua tae he tangata hei rapu i te pai mo nga tama a Iharaira.
11 And I came to Jerusalem and I was there days three.
Heoi kua tae ahau ki Hiruharama, a e toru oku ra ki reira.
12 And I arose - night I and men - a few with me and not I had told to anyone what? [was] God my putting into heart my to do for Jerusalem and an animal there not [was] with me that except the animal which I [was] riding on it.
Na ka maranga ahau i te po, matou ko etahi tangata torutoru hei hoa moku: kihai hoki i korerotia e ahau ki tetahi ta toku Atua i homai ai ki toku ngakau kia meatia ki Hiruharama: kahore hoki oku kararehe; heoi ano ko te kararehe i eke ai ahau.
13 And I went out! by [the] gate of the valley night and to [the] face [the] Spring of [the] Dragons and to [the] gate of the dung and I was examining [the] walls of Jerusalem which (they - [were] broken down *Q(K)*) and gates its they had been consumed by fire.
I haere ano ahau i te po i te kuwaha o te raorao, ki te ritenga o te puna tarakona, ki te kuwaha paru ano hoki, a tirotirohia iho e ahau nga taiepa o Hiruharama kua pakaru nei me ona keti kua pau nei i te ahi.
14 And I passed on to [the] gate of the spring and to [the] pool of the king and there not [was] room for the animal to pass through under me.
Katahi ahau ka haere ki te kuwaha o te puna, ki te poka wai ano a te kingi; heoi kahore he wahi e haere atu ai te kararehe e waha ana i ahau.
15 And I was going up in the wadi night and I was examining the wall and I turned back and I went in [the] gate of the valley and I returned.
Na piki ana ahau i te awaawa i te po, tirotirohia ana e ahau te taiepa. Na tahuri ana ahau, tomo ana na te kuwaha o te raorao, hoki ana.
16 And the officials not they knew where? had I gone and what? [was] I doing and to the Jews and to the priests and to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest [who was] doing the work until thus not I had told.
Heoi kihai nga rangatira i mohio e haere ana ranei ahau ki hea, he aha ranei taku e mea nei; kahore ano kia korerotia noatia e ahau ki nga Hurai, ki nga tohunga, ki nga tino tangata, ki nga rangatira, ki tera atu hunga ranei i mahi nei i nga mah i.
17 And I said to them you [are] seeing the trouble which we [are] in it that Jerusalem [is] desolate and gates its they have been burned with fire come so we may rebuild [the] wall of Jerusalem and not we will be again a reproach.
Katahi ka mea ahau ki a ratou, Ka kite koutou i te nui o to tatou aitua, ko Hiruharama kua ururuatia, ko ona keti kua wera i te ahi. Haere mai, tatou ka hanga i te taiepa o Hiruharama; kei waiho tonu tatou hei tawainga.
18 And I told to them [about] [the] hand of God my that it [was] good on me and also [the] words of the king which he had spoken to me and they said let us arise and we will rebuild and they strengthened hands their for good.
Na ka korerotia e ahau ki a ratou te ringa o toku Atua i pai nei ki runga i ahau, me nga kupu a te kingi i korerotia ki ahau. Na ka mea ratou, Tatou ka whakatika, ka hanga. Heoi kei te whakakaha ratou i o ratou ringa mo tenei mahi pai.
19 And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah - the servant the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab and they mocked us and they despised us and they said what? [is] the thing this which you [are] doing ¿ on the king [are] you rebelling.
I te rongonga ia o Hanaparata Horoni, ratou ko te pononga, ko Topia Amoni, ko Keheme Arapi, ka whakahi mai ratou ki a matou, ka whakahawea ki a matou, ka mea, He aha tenei mea ka meatia nei e koutou? ka whakakeke ranei koutou ki te kingi?
20 And I brought back them word and I said to them [the] God of the heavens he he will grant success to us and we servants his we will arise and we will rebuild and [belongs] to you not a share and a right and a memorial in Jerusalem.
Katahi ka whakahoki ahau ki a ratou, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te Atua o te rangi, mana e tika ai ta matou. Na ka whakatika matou, ana tangata, ka hanga. Ko koutou ia, kahore he wahi, he tikanga, he maharatanga ranei, i Hiruharama.
