< Nehemiah 4 >

1 And it was just when he heard Sanballat that we [were] rebuilding the wall and it burned to him and he was angry greatly and he mocked the Jews.
Kane Sanbalat owinjo ni wasechako gero ohinga, iye nowangʼ kendo mirima nomake. Ne ojaro jo-Yahudi,
2 And he said - before brothers his and [the] army of Samaria and he said what? [are] the Jews feeble doing ¿ will they restore for themselves ¿ will they offer sacrifices ¿ will they finish in the day ¿ will they restore the stones from [the] heaps of debris and they [are] burned.
e nyim joma ne giriworego kod jolweny mag jo-Samaria, mowachonegi niya, “En angʼo ma jo-Yahudi manyapgi timo ka? Bende gibiro chako gero ohingano? Bende gibiro chiwo misango? Bende gibiro tieke godiechiengʼ achiel? Bende gibiro miyo kitegi bedo mangima ka gia e pith mag yugigo, kaka owangʼ-gi malichni?”
3 And Tobiah the Ammonite [was] beside him and he said also [that] which they [are] building if it will go up a fox and it will break down [the] wall of stones their.
Tobia ma ja-Amon, mane ochungʼ e bathe, nowacho niya, “Ohinga ma gigerono, kata ka kibwe ema oidho, to obiro ruombore piny!”
4 Hear O God our for we are contempt and return reproach their to own head their and give them to plunder in a land of captivity.
Winjwa, yaye Nyasachwa, nimar osejarwa. Mad idwok ayenjegi e wigi giwegi. Mad ichiwgi kaka wasumbini e piny mabor ka joma oter e twech.
5 And may not you cover over iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not it be wiped out for they have provoked to anger to before the builders.
Kik ium gigo magisetimo ma ok odhi kare kata iruch richogi e nyim wangʼi, nimar gisediro ayenje e wangʼ jogedo.
6 And we rebuilt the wall and it was joined together all the wall to middle its and it belonged a heart to the people to work.
Omiyo ne wagero ohinga nyaka ne ochopo nus mar borne, nikech ji notiyo gi chunygi duto.
7 And it was just when he heard Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites that it had gone up [the] repair of [the] walls of Jerusalem that they had begun the broken down [parts] to be closed and it burned to them exceedingly.
To ka Sanbalat, Tobia, jo-Arabu, jo-Amon kod jo-Ashdod nowinjo ni loso ohinga mar Jerusalem osedhi nyime to kendo ni kuonde motuch ne idino, igi nowangʼ ahinya.
8 And they conspired all of them together to come to wage war against Jerusalem and to make for it confusion.
Negichokore giduto mondo gibi giked gi Jerusalem kendo gimi ji obed gi luoro.
9 And we prayed to God our and we stationed a guard on them by day and night because of them.
To ne walamo Nyasachwa mi waketo jorito odiechiengʼ gotieno mondo gigengʼ kihondkoni.
10 And it said Judah it has failed [the] strength of the burden-bearer[s] and the debris [is] much and we not we will be able to rebuild the wall.
Kuom mano, jo-Juda nowacho niya, “Pidhe mag kuonde momukore ngʼeny, to teko joma gologi odok chien, omiyo koro ok wanyal dhi nyime gigero ohinga.”
11 And they said opponents our not they will know and not they will see until that we will come into [the] midst of them and we will kill them and we will put an end to the work.
Wasikwa bende nowacho niya, “Ka pod ok gi ngʼeyo kata ka pod ok gi nenowa, to wabiro poree e diergi kendo wabiro negogi mi wachung tich.”
12 And it was just when they came the Jews who were dwelling beside them and they said to us ten times from all the places which you will turn to us.
Bangʼe jo-Yahudi mane odak mokiewo kodgi nobiro kendo okonewa nyadipar niya, “Gibiro monjou kamoro ma udhiyoe.”
13 And I stationed from [the] lower parts of the place from behind of the wall (in the open places *Q(K)*) and I stationed the people to clans with swords their spears their and bows their.
Emomiyo ne aketo jomoko e tok ohinga kuonde modok gi piny ma ginyalo nenogo wasigu ka aketogi dala ka dala, ka gin-gi ligengni, tonge kod atungʼ.
14 And I saw and I arose and I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people may not you be afraid of them [the] Lord great and awesome remember and fight on brothers your sons your and daughters your wives your and houses your.
Kane asenono gigi maber, ne achungo malo kendo awachone joka ruoth, jotelo kod joma moko niya, “Kik uluorgi. Par Ruoth Nyasaye, maduongʼ kendo malich, kendo ukedne oweteu, yawuotu kod nyiu, mondeu, kod miechu.”
15 And it was just when they heard enemies our that it was known to us and he had frustrated God purpose their (and we returned *Q(k)*) all of us to the wall each one to work his.
Ka wasikwa nowinjo ni wasefwenyo chenro margi kendo ni Nyasaye ne oseketho parogi, ne wadok wate e gero ohinga, ngʼato ka ngʼato e tichne.
16 And it was - from the day that half of young men my [were] doing the work and half of them [were] holding and the spears the shields and the bows and the body armor and the commanders [were] behind all [the] house of Judah.
Kochakore e odiechiengno, nus mar joga notiyo tijno, to nus modongʼ nomanore gi tongʼ, okumba, atungʼ kod gige lweny mag akor. Jotelo nochungʼ e tok jo-Juda duto
17 Who were rebuilding the wall and the [ones who] were carrying in burden [were] carrying [it] with [the] one hand his doing the work and one [hand] [was] holding the weapon.
mane gero ohinga. Joma ne otingʼo gige gedo ne tiyo gi lwetgi, to lwetgi komachielo otingʼo gir lweny,
18 And the builders each one sword his [were] girded on hips his and [were] building and the [one who] gave a blast on the ram's horn [was] beside me.
to jagedo ka jagedo notingʼo liganglane e bathe kodhi nyime kod tich. To ngʼatno mane goyo turumbete nodongʼ koda.
19 And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people the work [is] much and extensive and we [are] separate on the wall distant each from brother his.
Bangʼe ne awachone joka ruoth, jotelo kod joma moko niya, “Tich ngʼeny kendo pek, to wangelore e kor ohingani.
20 In [the] place where you will hear [the] sound of the ram's horn there towards you will assemble to us God our he will fight for us.
Kamoro amora ma uwinjo ka turumbete oywakie, to yworwauru kanyo. Nyasachwa biro kedonwa!”
21 And we [were] doing the work and half of them [were] keeping hold on spears from when came up the dawn until came out the stars.
Omiyo ne wadhi nyime gi tich ka nus mar jowa otingʼo tongʼ, kochakore kogwen nyaka sa ma piny imore.
22 Also at the time that I said to the people each one and servant his let them spend [the] night in [the] midst of Jerusalem and they will be for us the night a guard and the day work.
E sechego ne awachone ji niya, “Ket ngʼato ka ngʼato kod jakonyne obed ei Jerusalem gotieno, mondo omi gibed jorito gotieno, to giti godiechiengʼ.”
23 And not I and brothers my and servants my and [the] men of the guard who [were] behind me not we [were] stripping off clothes our each one weapon his the water.
An, kata owetena kata joga kata jorit mane ni koda ne ok ogolo lepgi; moro ka moro notingʼo liganglane mar lweny, kata mana ka wadhi tuomo pi.
