Nehemiah 6
1 And it cometh to pass, when it hath been heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our enemies, that I have builded the wall, and there hath not been left in it a breach, (also, till that time the doors I had not set up in the gates, )
Nígbà tí Sanballati, Tobiah Geṣemu ará Arabia àti àwọn ọ̀tá wa tókù gbọ́ pé, mo ti tún odi náà mọ, kò sì sí àlàfo kankan tí ó ṣẹ́kù nínú rẹ̀—bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé èmi kò ì tí ì ri àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn ibodè ní àkókò náà.
2 that Sanballat sendeth, also Geshem, unto me, saying, 'Come and we meet together in the villages, in the valley of Ono;' and they are thinking to do to me evil.
Sanballati àti Geṣemu rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí mi pé, “Wá jẹ́ kí a jọ pàdé pọ̀ nínú ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìletò ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Ono.” Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ń gbèrò láti ṣe mí ní ibi;
3 And I send unto them messengers, saying, 'A great work I am doing, and I am not able to come down; why doth the work cease when I let it alone, and have come down unto you?'
bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo rán oníṣẹ́ padà pẹ̀lú èsì yìí pé, “Èmi ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ńlá kan, èmi kò le è sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá. Èéṣe tí iṣẹ́ náà yóò fi dúró, nígbà tí mo bá fi í sílẹ̀ tí mo sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ yín wá?”
4 and they send unto me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.
Wọ́n rán iṣẹ́ náà sí mi nígbà mẹ́rin ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀, mo sì fún wọn ní èsì bákan náà fún ìgbà kọ̀ọ̀kan.
5 And Sanballat sendeth unto me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
Ní ìgbà karùn-ún, Sanballati rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ sí mi pẹ̀lú irú iṣẹ́ kan náà, lẹ́tà kan tí a kò fi sínú àpò ìwé wà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀
6 it is written in it, 'Among the nations it hath been heard, and Gashmu is saying: Thou and the Jews are thinking to rebel, therefore thou art building the wall, and thou hast been to them for a king — according to these words!
tí a kọ sínú un rẹ̀ pé, “A ròyìn rẹ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, Geṣemu sì sọ pé, òtítọ́ ni, pé ìwọ àti àwọn Júù ń gbèrò láti ṣọ̀tẹ̀, nítorí náà ni ẹ ṣe ń mọ odi. Síwájú sí i, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìròyìn yìí, ìwọ sì ń gbèrò láti di ọba wọn
7 And also, prophets thou hast appointed to call for thee in Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by the king according to these words; and now come, and we take counsel together.'
àti pé ó ti yan àwọn wòlíì kí wọn lè kéde nípa rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu: ‘Ọba kan wà ní Juda!’ Nísinsin yìí, ìròyìn yìí yóò padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba; nítorí náà wá, jẹ́ kí a bá ara wa sọ̀rọ̀.”
8 And I send unto him, saying, 'It hath not been according to these words that thou art saying, for from thine own heart thou art devising them;'
Mo dá èsì yìí padà sí i pé, “Kò sí ohun kan nínú irú ohun tí ìwọ sọ tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀; ìwọ kàn rò wọ́n ní orí ara rẹ ni.”
9 for all of them are making us afraid, saying, 'Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done;' and now, strengthen Thou my hands.
Gbogbo wọn múra láti dẹ́rùbà wá, wọ́n ń rò ó wí pé, “Ọwọ́ wọn kò ní ran iṣẹ́ náà, àti wí pé wọn kò ní parí rẹ̀.” Ṣùgbọ́n mo gbàdúrà pé, “Nísinsin yìí Ọlọ́run fi agbára fún ọwọ́ mi.”
10 And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel — and he is restrained — and he saith, 'Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming in to slay thee — yea, by night they are coming in to slay thee.'
Ní ọjọ́ kan mo lọ sí ilé Ṣemaiah ọmọ Delaiah, ọmọ Mehetabeeli, ẹni tí a há mọ́ sínú ilé rẹ̀. Ó wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a pàdé ní ilé Ọlọ́run nínú tẹmpili, kí o sì jẹ́ kí a pa àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn tẹmpili dé, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn ń bọ̀ láti pa ọ́, ní òru ni wọn yóò wá láti pa ọ́.”
11 And I say, 'A man such as I — doth he flee? and who as I, that doth go in unto the temple, and live? — I do not go in.'
Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó yẹ kí irú ènìyàn bí èmi sálọ? Tàbí kí ènìyàn bí èmi sálọ sínú tẹmpili láti gba ẹ̀mí ara rẹ̀ là? Èmi kò ní lọ!”
12 And I discern, and lo, God hath not sent him, for in the prophecy he hath spoken unto me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him,
Èmi wòye pé Ọlọ́run kò rán an, ṣùgbọ́n ó sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí mi nítorí Tobiah àti Sanballati ti bẹ̀ ẹ́ ní ọ̀wẹ̀.
13 so that he [is] an hireling, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me.
Wọ́n bẹ̀ ẹ́ ní ọ̀wẹ̀ láti dẹ́rùbà mí nítorí kí èmi lè dẹ́ṣẹ̀ nípa ṣíṣe èyí, kí wọn lè bà mí lórúkọ jẹ́, kí n sì di ẹni ẹ̀gàn.
14 Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.
A! Ọlọ́run mi, rántí Tobiah àti Sanballati, nítorí ohun tí wọ́n ti ṣe; kí o sì tún rántí Noadiah wòlíì obìnrin àti àwọn wòlíì tókù tí wọ́n ń gbèrò láti dẹ́rùbà mí.
15 And the wall is completed in the twenty and fifth of Elul, on the fifty and second day;
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a parí odi náà ní ọjọ́ kẹẹdọ́gbọ̀n oṣù Eluli, láàrín ọjọ́ méjìléláàádọ́ta.
16 and it cometh to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and all the nations who are round about us see, that they fall greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God hath this work been done.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀tá wa gbọ́ èyí, gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó yí wa ká bẹ̀rù jìnnìjìnnì sì mú wọn, nítorí wọ́n wòye pé iṣẹ́ yìí di ṣíṣe pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run wa.
17 Also, in those days the freemen of Judah are multiplying their letters going unto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming in unto them;
Bákan náà, ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì àwọn ọlọ́lá Juda ń kọ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ lẹ́tà ránṣẹ́ sí Tobiah, èsì láti ọ̀dọ̀ Tobiah sì ń wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ wọn.
18 for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and Jehohanan his son hath taken the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah;
Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn Juda ti mulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, nítorí tí ó jẹ́ àna Ṣekaniah ọmọ Arah (Sanballati fẹ́ ọmọ Ṣekaniah), ọmọ rẹ̀ Jehohanani sì tún fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin Meṣullamu ọmọ Berekiah.
19 also, his good deeds they have been saying before me, and my words they have been taking out to him; letters hath Tobiah sent to make me afraid.
Síwájú sí í, wọ́n túbọ̀ ń ròyìn iṣẹ́ rere rẹ̀ fún mi, wọ́n sì ń sọ ohun tí mo sọ fún un. Tobiah sì ń kọ àwọn lẹ́tà ránṣẹ́ sí mi láti dẹ́rùbà mí.
