Nehemiya 2
1 A watan Nisan a shekara ta ashirin ta mulkin Sarki Artazerzes, sa’ad aka kawo masa ruwan inabi, sai na karɓa na ba shi. Ban taɓa ɓata fuskata a gabansa ba, sai wannan karo.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he māhina ko Nisani, ʻi hono uofulu taʻu ʻo ʻAtakisekisi ko e tuʻi, naʻe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae uaine: pea naʻaku toʻo hake ʻae uaine ʻo ʻatu ia ki he tuʻi. Pea ko eni naʻe teʻeki ai te u matapeko ʻi hono ʻao.
2 Saboda haka sarki ya tambaye ni ya ce, “Me ya sa fuskarka ta ɓaci, ga shi, ba ciwo kake ba? Ba abin da ya kawo wannan, in ba dai kana baƙin ciki ba.” Sai na ji tsoro ƙwarai,
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku matapeko ai ho mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke mahaki?” ʻOku ʻikai ko e meʻa kehe ia ka ko e mamahi ʻi loto. Pea ne u manavahē lahi ai.
3 na amsa na ce wa sarki, “Ran sarki yă daɗe! Me zai hana fuskata ta ɓaci, sa’ad da birnin da aka binne kakannina tana zaman kango, aka kuma rushe ƙofofinsa da wuta?”
Pea naʻaku pehē ki he tuʻi, “Tuku ke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ʻo taʻengata: ʻe ʻikai te u mata tangi nai ko e hā, lolotonga kuo tuku liʻaki pe ʻae kolo, ko e potu ʻoe ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, pea ko hono ngaahi matapā kuo tutuʻaki ʻae afi?”
4 Sai sarki ya ce mini, “Me kake so?” Sai na yi addu’a ga Allah na sama,
Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kiate au, “Ko e hā ia ʻoku ke kole? Ko ia naʻaku lotu ai ki he ʻOtua ʻoe langi.”
5 na kuwa ba wa sarki amsa, na ce, “In ya gamshi sarki, in kuma bawanka ya sami tagomashi a idonka, bari ka aike ni in tafi ƙasar Yahuda, birnin da aka binne kakannina, domin in sāke gina shi.”
Pea ne u pehē ki he tuʻi, “Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, pea kapau kuo ʻilo ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ke ke fekau au ki Siuta, ki he kolo ʻoe ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi ke u langa hake ia.”
6 Sai sarki, a lokacin sarauniya da tana zama kusa da shi, ya tambaye ni, ya ce, “Kwana nawa tafiyar za tă ɗauke ka, kuma yaushe za ka dawo?” Ya gamshi sarki ya aike ni; saboda haka na shirya lokaci.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate au, (pea naʻe nofo ofi kiate ia ʻae tuʻi fefine foki, ) “Ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻo ho fononga? Pea te ke toe haʻu ʻafē? Pea naʻe lelei ki he tuʻi ke ne fekauʻi au; pea ne u kotofa kiate ia ʻae kuonga.”
7 Na kuma ce masa, “In ya gamshi sarki, zai yi kyau in sami wasiƙu zuwa ga gwamnonin Kewayen Kogin Yuferites, domin su tanada kāriya har sai na isa Yahuda?
Pea ne u pehē foki ki he tuʻi, “Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke ʻomi kiate au ʻae ngaahi tohi ki he ngaahi pule ʻi he potu kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe, koeʻuhi ke nau moimoiʻi au ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku hoko atu ki Siuta;
8 A kuma ba ni wasiƙa zuwa ga Asaf, sarkin daji, yă ba ni katako don yin ƙofofin kagara na kusa da fadar haikali da kuma don katangar birni, da na wurin da zan zauna?” Sarki kuwa ya ba ni abin da na roƙa, gama Allah yana tare da ni.
Mo e tohi ʻe taha kia ʻAsafi ko e tauhi ʻoe vao ʻakau ʻoe tuʻi koeʻuhi ke ne foaki kiate au ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ke ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻakau lalava ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ʻaia ʻoku kau ki he faletapu, pea maʻae ʻā maka ʻoe kolo, pea maʻae fale ʻaia te u hū ki ai.” Pea naʻe tuku mai ʻe he tuʻi kiate au, ʻo hangē ko e ʻiate au ʻae nima lelei ʻo hoku ʻOtua.
9 Saboda haka na tafi wurin gwamnonin Kewayen Kogin Yuferites, na ba su wasiƙun sarki. Sarki kuma ya aika da hafsoshin mayaƙa da kuma mahayan dawakai tare da ni.
Pea ne u toki hoko atu ki he kau pule ʻi he tuʻa vaitafe, pea u tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻoe tuʻi. Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke ʻalu mo au ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe tau mo e kau tangata heka hoosi.
10 Da Sanballat mutumin Horon da Tobiya wakilin ƙasar Ammon suka ji cewa wani ya zo domin yă ƙarfafa zaman lafiyar mutanen Isra’ila, sai suka damu ƙwarai.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻe Sanipalate ko e tangata Holoni, mo Topaia ko e tamaioʻeiki, ko e tangata ʻAmoni, naʻe mamahi lahi ʻakinaua, koeʻuhi ʻi he haʻu ʻae tangata ke kumi ke lelei ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
11 Sai na je Urushalima, bayan na zauna a can na kwanaki uku,
Ko ia, ne u hoko ki Selūsalema, pea ne u ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.
12 sai na fita da dare tare da mutane kalila. Ban faɗa wa wani abin da Allahna ya sa a zuciyata in yi don Urushalima ba. Ba waɗansu dabbobi kuma tare da ni, sai dai dabbar da na hau.
Pea ne u tuʻu hake ʻi he poʻuli, mo e kau tangata tokosiʻi naʻe ʻiate au; pea naʻe ʻikai te u tala ki ha tokotaha ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻe hoku ʻOtua ki hoku loto ke fai ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻikai ha manu ʻiate au ka ko ia naʻaku heka ai.
13 Da dare na fita ta Ƙofar Kwari wajen Rijiyar Dila da Ƙofar Juji, ina dudduba katangar Urushalima waɗanda aka rushe da kuma ƙofofinta waɗanda aka ƙone da wuta.
Pea ne u ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he poʻuli ʻi he matapā ʻoe teleʻa, ʻo hangatonu mo e vaikeli ko e talākoni, pea ki he matapā fokotuʻunga veve, pea u vakai ki he ngaahi ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, ʻaia naʻe holoki hifo, mo e ngaahi matapā ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae afi.
14 Sa’an nan na ci gaba zuwa wajen Ƙofar Maɓuɓɓuga da kuma Tafkin Sarki, amma babu isashen wuri saboda abin da na hau yă bi;
Pea naʻaku ʻalu ai pe ki he matapā ʻoe matavai, pea ki he anovai ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe ʻikai ha potu ke ʻalu ai ʻae manu naʻaku heka ai.
15 saboda haka na haura ta kwarin da dad dare, ina dudduba katangar. A ƙarshe, na juya na sāke shiga ta Ƙofar Kwari.
Pea naʻaku ʻalu hake ai ʻi he poʻuli ʻo ofi ki he vaitafe, ʻo vakai ki he ʻā maka, pea u tafoki ki mui, pea hū ʻi he matapā ʻoe teleʻa, pea toe foki atu ai.
16 Shugabanni ba su san inda na tafi, ko abin da nake yi ba, domin ban riga na faɗa wa Yahudawa, ko firistoci, ko manyan gari, ko shugabanni, ko sauran waɗanda za su yi aiki, kome ba.
Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he kau pule pe naʻaku ʻalu ki fē, pe ko ia naʻaku fai; pea naʻe teʻeki te u tala ia ki he kakai Siu, pe ki he kau taulaʻeiki, pe ki he houʻeiki, pe ki he kau pule, pe ki he toenga [kakai ]naʻe fai ʻae ngāue.
17 Sai na ce musu, “Kun ga matsalar da muke ciki, yadda Urushalima ta zama kango, an kuma ƙone ƙofofinta da wuta. Ku zo mu sāke gina katangar Urushalima, ba za mu ƙara shan kunya ba.”
Pea ne u pehē ai kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou mamata ki he mamahi ʻoku tau moʻua ai, koeʻuhi kuo tutu liʻaki pe ʻa Selūsalema, pea kuo tuku hono ngaahi matapā ʻaki ʻae afi: haʻu, ketau langa hake ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau kei hoko ko e lumaʻanga.”
18 Na kuma faɗa musu game da yadda alherin Allahna yake tare da ni da kuma abin da sarki ya faɗa mini. Suka amsa, suka ce, “Mu tashi, mu kama gini.” Sai suka fara wannan aiki mai kyau.
Pea ne u toki tala kiate kinautolu ʻae nima ʻo hoku ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe hili lelei kiate au; pea mo e ngaahi lea ʻae tuʻi foki ʻaia naʻa ne lea kiate au. Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke tau tuʻu hake pea langa.” Ko ia naʻa nau fakamālohiʻi honau nima ki he ngāue lelei ni.
19 Amma sa’ad da Sanballat mutumin Horon da Tobiya wakilin ƙasar Ammon da kuma Geshem mutumin Arab suka ji game da wannan, sai suka yi mana ba’a suka kuma yi mana dariya. Suka ce, “Me kuke tsammani kuke yi? Kuna so ku yi wa sarki tawaye ne?”
Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻe Sanipalate ko e tangata Holoni, mo Topaia ko e tamaioʻeiki, ko e tangata ʻAmoni, mo Kesemi ko e tangata ʻAlepea, naʻa nau kata manukiʻi ʻakimautolu, pea lumaʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni ʻoku mou fai? ʻOku mou loto ke angatuʻu ki he tuʻi?”
20 Na amsa musu na ce, “Allah na sama zai ba mu nasara. Mu bayinsa za mu tashi mu fara gini, amma game da ku kam, ba ku da rabo cikin Urushalima, ba ku da wani hakki ko wani abin tunawa.”
Pea naʻaku talia ʻakinautolu, pea u pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, te ne fakamonūʻia ʻakimautolu; ko ia ko kimautolu ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki te mau tuʻu hake ʻo langa: ka ʻoku ʻikai ha tofiʻa, pe ha potu, pe ha fakaʻilonga ʻi Selūsalema maʻamoutolu.”
