Nehemiah 6
1 Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem, and our other enemies heard [a report] that we had finished rebuilding the wall, and that now there were no more (gaps/places where the wall was not finished) (although we had not yet put the doors in the gates).
| ئەوە بوو کە سەنڤەلەت و تۆڤییا و گەشەمی عەرەبی و پاشماوەی دوژمنەکانمان بیستیانەوە کە شووراکەم بنیاد ناوەتەوە و هیچ کەلێنێکی تێدا نەماوە، هەرچەندە هەتا ئەو کاتە هێشتا دەرگام لە دەروازەکاندا دانەنابوو، |
2 So Sanballat and Geshem sent [a message] to me, in which they said “Come and talk with us at a place in Ono Plain [north of Jerusalem].” But [I knew that] really they wanted to harm me [if I went there].
| سەنڤەلەت و گەشەم پەیامیان بۆ ناردم و گوتیان: «وەرە با لە یەکێک لە گوندەکانی دەشتی ئۆنۆ پێکەوە کۆببینەوە.» ئەوان بیریان لەوە دەکردەوە خراپەم لەگەڵدا بکەن. |
3 So I sent messengers to them, to tell them, “I am doing an important work, and I cannot go down [there]. (Why should I stop doing this work just to go down to [talk with] you?/I do not want to stop doing this work just to go down to [talk with] you.)” [RHQ]
| منیش چەند نێردراوێکم بۆ لایان نارد و گوتم: «من خەریکی کارێکی گەورەم و ناتوانم دابەزم بۆ لاتان. بۆچی کارەکە بوەستێت، دەستی لێ هەڵبگرم و بێمە لاتان؟» |
4 They sent me the same message four times, and each time when I replied to them I said the same thing.
| جا چوار جار هەمان پەیامیان بۆ ناردم، منیش هەمان وەڵامم دانەوە. |
5 Then Sanballat sent one of his servants to me, bringing a fifth message. This one was written, but it was not sealed. [He did that in order that others would read the message that the servant was carrying] in his hand.
| پاشان بۆ جاری پێنجەم، سەنڤەلەت خزمەتکارەکەی بە هەمان پەیامەوە ناردە لام و نامەیەکی کراوەی بەدەستەوە بوو، |
6 This is what was written in the message: “Some people in the nearby countries have heard a report that you and the other Jews are rebuilding the wall [in order to be able to resist attacks], because you are planning to revolt [against the king of Babylon]. And the report also says that you are planning to become the king [of the Israelis]. Geshem says that what they have reported is true.
| تێیدا نووسرابوو: «لەنێو نەتەوەکاندا بیستراوە و گەشەم دەڵێت، تۆ و جولەکەکان بیر لە یاخیبوون دەکەنەوە، لەبەر ئەوە شووراکە بنیاد دەنێیت. هەروەها بەپێی ئەم هەواڵانە دەبیتە پاشایان، |
7 [People are also saying that] you have appointed some prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem that you, [Nehemiah, ] are now the king in Judea. King [Artaxerxes] will certainly hear these reports, [and then you will be in big trouble]. So I suggest that we should meet together to talk about this matter.”
| چەند پێغەمبەرێکیشت بۆ خۆت ڕاگرتووە هەتا بەناو ئۆرشەلیمدا بانگەوازت بۆ بکەن و بڵێن:”لە یەهودا پاشا هەیە!“ئێستاش ئەم هەواڵانە بە پاشا ڕادەگەیەنرێت، ئێستا وەرە با پێکەوە ڕاوێژ بکەین.» |
8 [When I read that message, ] I sent [the messenger] back to Sanballat to say, “None of what you are saying is true. You have (made this up/concocted this) in your own head/mind.”
| منیش ئەم وەڵامەم بۆ نارد: «هیچ کام لەو شتانەی کە تۆ باسیان دەکەیت ڕووی نەداوە، بەڵکو هەڵبەستراوی دڵی خۆتە.» |
9 [I said that because I knew that] they were trying to cause us to be afraid, with the result that we would stop working [on the wall]. So I actually became more determined (OR, I prayed to God to help me) [to continue the work].
| هەموویان هەوڵیان دەدا بمانترسێنن و دەیانگوت، «دەستیان لە کارەکە سارد بووەتەوە و کارەکە ناکرێت.» بەڵام نزام کرد: «ئەی خودایە، ئێستاش دەستم بەهێز بکە.» |
10 [One day] I went to talk with Shemaiah, son of Delaiah and grandson of Mehetabel. I went to talk with him in his house, because he was not able (OR, allowed) to leave his house. He said to me, “You and I must enter the very sacred place in the temple and lock the doors, because people are going to come to kill you at night.”
| ئیتر ڕۆژێک چوومە ماڵی شەمەعیای کوڕی دەلایای کوڕی میهێتەبێل کە لە ماڵەکەی خۆی دەستبەسەر بوو، گوتی: «با لەناو ماڵی خودا کۆببینەوە، لەناوەڕاستی پەرستگادا و دەرگاکانی پیرۆزگا دابخەین، چونکە بۆ کوشتنت دێن، بە شەو دێن بتکوژن.» |
11 I replied, “I (am not that kind of person/do not do things like that) [RHQ]! I would not run and hide in the temple to save my life! No, I will not do that!”
| منیش گوتم: «ئایا پیاوێکی وەک من هەڵدێت؟ ئایا کەسێکی وەک من دەچێتە ناو پەرستگاوە هەتا بژیێت؟ ناچمە ژوورەوە!» |
12 When I thought [about what he had said], I realized that God had not told Shemaiah to say that to me. I realized that Tobiah and Sanballat had bribed him [to say that to me].
| بۆم دەرکەوت کە خودا نەیناردووە، بەڵکو بە درۆ پێشبینیی لەسەر من کردووە، چونکە تۆڤییا و سەنڤەلەت بە کرێیان گرتبوو. |
13 They had bribed him to cause me to be afraid. They wanted me to [disobey God’s commands and] sin [by hiding in the temple]. If I did that, they would be able to ruin my reputation [MTY] and discredit me.
| بەکرێ گیرابوو هەتا بمترسێنێت و ئاوا بکەم و گوناهبار بم، ئینجا بەوە ناوم بزڕێنن و ئابڕووم ببەن. |
14 [So I prayed, ] “My God, do not forget what Tobiah and Sanballat have done. Punish them. And do not forget that the female prophet Noadiah and some of the other prophets have also tried to cause me to be afraid.”
| ئەی خودای من، بەگوێرەی ئەم کردەوانەیان تۆڤییا و سەنڤەلەتت لەبیر بێت، هەروەها نۆعەدیای پێغەمبەرە ژن و پاشماوەی ئەو پێغەمبەرانەی کە دەمترسێنن! |
15 On October 2 we finished rebuilding the wall. We did it all in 52 days.
| شووراکە لە بیست و پێنجی ئەیلول تەواو بوو، بە ماوەی پەنجا و دوو ڕۆژ. |
16 When our enemies in the nearby countries heard about that, they realized that they had been humiliated, because everyone knew that it was because God helped us that we had been able to do this work [and that they had not been able to force us to quit].
| کاتێک هەموو دوژمنەکانمان بیستیان، هەموو نەتەوەکانی دەوروبەرمان ترسان و متمانەیان بە خۆیان نەما، زانییان کە ئەم کارە لەلایەن خودامانەوە کراوە. |
17 During this time, the Jewish leaders had been sending many messages/letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah had been sending messages back to them.
| هەروەها لەو ڕۆژانەدا زۆربەی خانەدانەکانی یەهودا نامەیان بۆ تۆڤییا دەنارد و لە تۆڤییاشەوە بۆ ئەوان دەهاتەوە، |
18 Many people in Judea were closely associated with Tobiah, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah. Furthermore, Tobiah’s son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berekiah.
| چونکە زۆر لە یەهودا هاوپەیمانی بوون، لەبەر ئەوەی ئەو زاوای شەخەنەیای کوڕی ئارەح بوو، یەهۆحانانی کوڕیشی کچی مەشولامی کوڕی بەرەخیای هێنابوو. |
19 People often talked in my presence about all the good things that Tobiah had done, and then they would tell him everything that I said. So Tobiah sent many letters to me to try to cause me to become afraid.
| هەروەها لەبەردەممدا باسیان لە کارە چاکەکانی ئەو دەکرد و قسەکانی منیان بۆی دەگێڕایەوە. ئینجا تۆڤییا چەند نامەیەکی نارد بۆ ئەوەی بمترسێنێت. |
