< Nehemiah 6 >

1 Forsothe it was doon, whanne Sanaballath hadde herd, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie, and oure other enemyes, that Y hadde bildide the wal, and nomore brekyng was therynne; sotheli `til to that tyme Y hadde not set leeuys of schittyng in the yatis;
Mgbe a gwara Sanbalat, na Tobaya, na Geshem onye Arab, na ndị iro anyị ndị ọzọ na m ewuzichaala mgbidi ahụ, na ọ dịkwaghị ntipu fọdụrụ na ya, ọ bụ ezie na nʼoge ahụ, etinyebeghị m ibo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile,
2 Sanaballath, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie senten to me, and seiden, Come thou, and smyte we boond of pees in calues, `in o feeld; forsothe thei thouyten for to do yuel to me.
Sanbalat na Geshem zitere m ozi a, “Bịa ka anyị zụkọta nʼotu obodo nta nke dị nʼobosara ala Ono.” Ma ha na-achọ ụzọ imerụ m ahụ.
3 Therfor Y sente messangeris to hem, and Y seide, Y make a greet werk, and Y mai not go doun, lest perauenture it be doon retchelesli, whanne Y come, and go doun to you.
Ya mere, azara m ha site nʼaka ndị ozi sị, “Ana m arụ ọrụ dị oke mkpa, agaghị enwe ike ịrịdata. Nʼihi gịnị ka ọrụ a ga-eji kwụsị mgbe m ga-ahapụ ya ịbịa nʼebe ị nọ?”
4 Sotheli thei senten to me `bi this word bi foure tymes, and Y answeride to hem by the formere word.
Ha zitere ozi ahụ ugboro anọ, ma enyere m ha otu ọsịsa ahụ ugboro anọ.
5 And Sanaballath sente to me the fyuethe tyme bi the formere word his child; and he hadde in his hond a pistle writun in this maner;
Na nke ugboro ise, Sanbalat ziteere m onye na-ejere ya ozi, ya na akwụkwọ ozi nke e mechighị emechi o ji bịa.
6 It is herd among hethene men, and Gosem seide, that thou and the Jewis thenken for to rebelle, and therfor ye bilden, and thou wolt `reise thee king on hem;
Nke a bụ ihe e dere nʼime ya; “Anụla ya na mba niile, Geshem kwukwara otu ihe ahụ, na gị na ndị Juu na-akwado inupu isi. Ọ bụ ya mere i ji na-ewu mgbidi ahụ. Ozi ahụ na-ekwukwa na gị onwe gị na-achọ ịbụ eze ha,
7 for which cause also thou hast set profetis, that prechen of thee in Jerusalem, and seien, A king is in Jerusalem; the king schal here these wordis; therfor come thou now, that we take counsel togidere.
na ị họpụtala ndị amụma ndị ga-ekwupụta na Jerusalem na ị bụ eze ndị Juda. Ugbu a, ozi a ga-eru ntị eze, ya mere, bịa ka mụ na gị kparịtaa ụka nʼetiti onwe anyị.”
8 And Y sente to hem, and seide, It is not doon bi these wordis whiche thou spekist; for of thin herte thou makist these thingis.
Ma eziri m ya ozi sị, “O nweghị eziokwu ọbụla dị nʼihe ị na-ekwu, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe i chepụtara nʼobi gị.”
9 Alle these men maden vs aferd, and thouyten that oure hondis schulden ceesse fro werkis, that we schulden reste; for which cause Y coumfortide more myn hond.
Nzube ha bụ ime ka ụjọ tụọ anyị. Ha na-echekwa sị, “Ha ga-ada mba nʼọrụ a ma hapụkwa ịrụcha ya.” Ma akpọkuru m Chineke sị ya, “Biko gbaa aka m ume.”
10 And Y entride priueli in to the hows of Samaie, sone of Dalie, the sone of Methabehel, which seide, Trete we with vs silf in the hows of God, in the myddis of the temple, and close we the yatis of the hows; for thei schulen come to sle thee, `and thei schulen come `bi niyt to sle thee.
Otu ụbọchị, a gara m nʼụlọ Shemaya, nwa Delaya, nwa Mehetabel, onye e mechibidoro ụzọ nʼụlọ ya. Ọ sịrị m, “Ka anyị zukọta nʼụlọ Chineke, nʼime ụlọnsọ, ka anyị mechiekwa ụzọ niile nke ụlọnsọ ahụ, nʼihi na ndị ikom na-abịa igbu gị, e, nʼabalị ka ha na-abịa igbu gị.”
11 And Y seide, Whether ony man lijk me fledde, and who as Y schal entre in to the temple, and schal lyue?
Ma azara m si; “O kwesiri ka mụ onwe m bụ onyeisi ọchịchị gbaa ọsọ? O kwesiri ka mmadụ dịka m gbaa ọsọ gbaba nʼụlọnsọ Chineke ịzọpụta ndụ ya? Agaghị m aga.”
12 Y schal not entre. And Y vndurstood that God `hadde not sent hym, but `he spak as profesiynge to me; and Tobie and Sanaballath `hadden hirid hym for meede.
Mgbe ahụ ka o doro m anya na Chineke agwaghị ya okwu ọbụla, kama na ọ bụ Tobaya na Sanbalat zụrụ ya.
13 For he hadde take prijs, that Y schulde be aferd, and do, and that Y schulde do synne; and thei schulden haue yuel, which thei schulden putte to me with schenschip.
E goro ya ọrụ ka o yinye m egwu, ka m site na-ime otu a mehie, mgbe ahụ, ha ga-ahụ ihe ha ga-eji nye m aha ọjọọ, kwaa m emo.
14 Lord, haue mynde of me, for Tobye and Sanaballath, bi siche werkis `of hem; but also of Noadie, the profete, and of othere profetis, that maden me aferd.
“Chineke m, cheta Tobaya na Sanbalat, nʼihi ihe ndị a niile ha mere, chetakwa Noadaya, bụ onye amụma nwanyị, na ndị amụma ndị ọzọ niile fọdụrụ, bụ ndị ahụ chọrọ ime ka m tụọ egwu.”
15 Forsothe the wal was fillid in the fyue and twentithe dai of the monethe Ebul, in two and fifti daies.
E wuchara mgbidi ahụ nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na ise nke ọnwa Elul, nʼime iri ụbọchị ise na abụọ.
16 Sotheli it was doon, whanne alle oure enemyes hadden herd, that alle hethene men dredden, that weren in oure cumpas, and thei felden doun with ynne hem silf, and wiste, that this work was maad of God.
Mgbe ndị iro anyị niile nụrụ ya, mba niile ndị nọ anyị gburugburu tụrụ ụjọ, obi jụkwara ha oyi, nʼihi na ha matara na-arụrụ ọrụ a site nʼinyeaka Chineke.
17 But also in tho daies many pistlis of the principal men of Jewis weren sent to Tobie, and camen fro Tobie to hem.
Ọzọ, nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ ndị Juda a na-asọpụrụ na e zigara Tobaya ọtụtụ akwụkwọ ozi, akwụkwọ ozi Tobaya na-erutekwa ha aka.
18 For many men weren in Judee, and hadden his ooth; for he hadde weddid the douyter of Sechenye, the sone of Rotel; and Johannam, his sone, hadde take the douyter of Mosallam, sone of Barachie.
Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ndị Juda ṅụrụ iyi ịnọ ya nʼukwu, nʼihi na ọgọ ya nwoke nʼala Juda bụ Shekanaya nwa Ara. Ọzọkwa, Jehohanan nwa nwoke Tobaya na-alụ nwa nwanyị Meshulam, nwa Berekaya.
19 But also thei preisiden hym bifor me, and telden my wordis to hym; and Tobie sente lettris, for to make me aferd.
Ha niile nọgidere na-agwa m otu Tobaya si bụrụ ezigbo mmadụ. Ma ha na-apụkwa gaa kọọrọ ya ihe niile m kwuru. Nʼihi ya Tobaya zitere ọtụtụ akwụkwọ ozi ime ka ụjọ tụọ m.
