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;
Ɛberɛ a Sanbalat, Tobia, Arabni Gesem ne yɛn atamfoɔ nkaeɛ no hunuu sɛ masiesie ɔfasuo no awie a ɛkwan biara nneda ntam a ɛnso yɛnsisii apono no,
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 ne Gesem de nkra brɛɛ me sɛ, menhyia wɔn nkuraa no baako a ɛwɔ Ono tata so. Nanso, mehunuu sɛ wɔrepam me tiri so,
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.
enti memaa wɔn mmuaeɛ sɛ, “Mereyɛ adwuma kɛseɛ bi a merentumi nnyae mmɛhyia mo.”
4 Sotheli thei senten to me `bi this word bi foure tymes, and Y answeride to hem by the formere word.
Wɔtoo me saa nkra no mpɛn ɛnan. Ne nyinaa mu, memaa mmuaeɛ korɔ no ara.
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;
Ne mpɛn enum so no, Sanbalat ɔsomfoɔ kura krataa a wɔatwerɛ baeɛ.
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;
Na krataa no mu nsɛm nie: “Gesem aka akyerɛ me sɛ, baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ no, ɔte sɛ wo ne Yudafoɔ no repam ayɛ dɔm, na ɛno enti na woresiesie ɔfasuo no. Deɛ ɔka ne sɛ, wopɛ sɛ wobɛdi wɔn so ɔhene.
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.
Ɔkɔ so ka sɛ, woayi adiyifoɔ bi sɛ wɔnhyɛ wo ho nkɔm wɔ Yerusalem sɛ, ‘Monhwɛ! Ɔhene bi wɔ Yuda!’ Ɛsɛ sɛ wogye to mu sɛ, saa asɛm yi bɛduru ɔhene aso mu, enti ɛsɛ sɛ woba, na wo ne me bɛka ho asɛm.”
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.
Mebuaa sɛ, “Wonim sɛ woretwa atorɔ. Asɛm a woreka no, nokorɛ baako koraa nni mu.”
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.
Huna na na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔhunahuna yɛn. Na wɔsusu sɛ wɔbɛtumi abu yɛn aba mu na yɛgyae adwuma no yɛ. Ɛno enti, mebɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ mɛnya ahoɔden de atoa dwumadie no so.
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.
Akyire no, mekɔsraa Delaia babarima a ɔyɛ Mehetabel nana Semaia a ɔhyɛ ne fie na ɔnnkɔ baabiara no. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ma yɛn nhyia wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na yɛmmram apono no akyi. Wʼatamfoɔ reba abɛkum wo anadwo yi.”
11 And Y seide, Whether ony man lijk me fledde, and who as Y schal entre in to the temple, and schal lyue?
Na mebuaa sɛ, “Enti, ɛsɛ sɛ obi a ɔte sɛ me dwane amanehunu anaa? Enti, ɛsɛ sɛ obi a ɔte sɛ me bɛkɔ akɔhinta Asɔredan mu de apere me nkwa anaa? Dabi, merenyɛ saa!”
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.
Mehunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkasa nkyerɛɛ no, na ne nkɔm a ɔhyɛeɛ no tia me, ɛfiri sɛ, Tobia ne Sanbalat abɔ no paa.
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.
Na wɔsusu sɛ wɔbɛhunahuna me, na mafa nʼadwenkyerɛ no so ayɛ bɔne, na wɔnam so abɔ me soboɔ, asɛe me din.
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.
Ao me Onyankopɔn, kae bɔne a Tobia ne Sanbalat ayɛ no nyinaa. Na kae odiyifoɔ baa Noadia ne adiyifoɔ a wɔte sɛ ɔno a wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔhunahuna me no.
15 Forsothe the wal was fillid in the fyue and twentithe dai of the monethe Ebul, in two and fifti daies.
Enti, Elul bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔsannaa) da a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, wɔwiee ɔfasuo no nsiesie, nnafua aduonum mmienu a wɔhyɛɛ dwumadie no ase.
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.
Ɛberɛ a yɛn atamfoɔ ne aman a wɔatwa yɛn ho ahyia teeɛ no, wɔsuroeɛ, na ɛma wɔbotoeɛ. Wɔhunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn mmoa na wɔde ayɛ adwuma no.
17 But also in tho daies many pistlis of the principal men of Jewis weren sent to Tobie, and camen fro Tobie to hem.
Saa nnafua aduonum mmienu no mu, nkrataa bebree dii akɔneaba wɔ Tobia ne Yuda adwumayɛfoɔ no ntam.
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.
Ɛfiri sɛ, na Yudafoɔ bebree aka ntam sɛ, wɔbɛsom no. Afei, na Tobia ase ne Arah babarima Sekania. Na Sekania babarima Yehohanan nso aware Berekia babarima Mesulam babaa.
19 But also thei preisiden hym bifor me, and telden my wordis to hym; and Tobie sente lettris, for to make me aferd.
Wɔkɔɔ so kaa sɛdeɛ Tobia ho yɛ nwanwa fa no kyerɛɛ me, na afei, wɔkaa biribiara a mekaeɛ nso kyerɛɛ no. Na Tobia de ahunahuna nkrataa bebree brɛɛ me.
