Nehemiya 4
1 Da Sanballat ya ji cewa muna sāke ginin katangar, sai ya husata, ya haukace ƙwarai. Ya yi wa Yahudawa dariya,
Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ongoʻi ʻe Sanipalate ʻoku mau langaʻi ʻae ʻā maka, naʻe ʻita lahi ia, pea ne fai lili lahi, ʻo ne manukiʻi ʻae kakai Siu.
2 a gaban abokansa da kuma sojojin Samariya ya ce, “Me waɗancan Yahudawan nan marasa ƙarfi suke yi? Za su maido da katangarsu ne? Za su miƙa hadayu ne? Za su gama a rana ɗaya? Za su iya samun duwatsun gini daga tsibin matattun duwatsu?”
Pea naʻe lea ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kāinga mo e tau ʻo Samēlia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā ia ʻoku fai ʻe he kakai Siu vaivai ni? He te nau fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu ke tau? Te nau fai ha feilaulau? He te nau fakaʻosi [ia ]ʻi he ʻaho pe taha? Te nau fakaakeake ʻae ngaahi maka mei he ngaahi fokotuʻunga veve ʻaia kuo tutu?”
3 Tobiya wakilin mutanen Ammon wanda yake a gefensa ya ce, “Abin nan da suke gini, ko dila ma ya hau, zai rushe shi!”
Pea naʻe ofi kiate ia ʻa Topaia ko e tangata ʻAmoni, ʻo ne lea ʻo pehē, “ʻIo, ko ia ʻoku nau langa, ka ne ʻalu hake ai ha fokisi, te ne holoki hifo ʻenau ʻā maka.”
4 Ka ji mu, ya Allahnmu, gama an rena mu. Bari zagin da suke yi mana yă koma kansu. Ka sa a kwashe su a kai su bauta a wata ƙasa.
“ʻE homau ʻOtua ke ke fanongo: he kuo lumaʻi ʻakimautolu: pea ke fakatafoki honau manuki ki he ʻulu ʻonautolu, pea ke tuku ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa vete ʻi he fonua ʻoe fakapōpula:
5 Kada ka rufe laifinsu, kada kuwa ka gafarta musu, gama sun ci mutuncinmu, mu da muke gini.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau ngaahi hia, pea ʻoua naʻa fakamolemole ʻenau ngaahi angahala mei ho ʻao: he kuo nau fakatupu ʻa hoʻo houhau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau langa fale.”
6 Sai muka sāke ginin katangar sai da duka ta kai rabin tsayinta, gama mutane sun yi aiki da dukan ƙarfinsu.
Naʻe pehē ʻemau langa ʻae ʻā maka pea naʻe fakahokohoko ke fakataha ʻae ʻā maka ʻo aʻu ki hono vaeuaʻanga: he naʻe ʻi he kakai ʻae loto fie ngāue.
7 Amma da Sanballat, da Tobiya, da Larabawa, da Ammonawa, da kuma mutanen Ashdod suka ji cewa gyare-gyaren katangar Urushalima yana cin gaba, ana kuma tattoshe wuraren da suka tsattsaga, sai suka husata ƙwarai.
Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻe Topaia, mo e kau ʻAlepea, mo e kau ʻAmoni, mo e kau ʻAsitoti, ʻoku fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, pea kuo kamata tāpuni hono ngaahi ava, naʻa nau ʻita lahi,
8 Dukansu suka ƙulla su zo, su yi yaƙi da Urushalima, su tā da hankali a cikinta.
ʻO nau alea fakataha kotoa pē ke nau haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ke taʻofi hono fai.
9 Amma muka yi addu’a ga Allahnmu muka kuma sa masu tsaro da rana da kuma dare don mu magance wannan barazana.
Ka naʻa mau fai ʻemau lotu ki homau ʻOtua, pea naʻe fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo ke vakai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ko e meʻa ʻiate kinautolu.
10 Ana cikin haka, mutane a Yahuda suka ce, “Ƙarfin ma’aikata yana kāsawa, akwai kuma sauran tarkace da yawa da ba za mu iya sāke gina katangar ba.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siuta, “ʻOku fakaʻaʻau ke siʻi ʻae mālohi ʻoe kau haʻamo, pea ʻoku lahi ʻae veve: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa langa ʻae ʻā maka.”
11 Abokan gābanmu sun ce, “Ba za su sani ba, ba kuwa za su gan mu ba, sai dai kawai su gan mu a cikinsu, za mu karkashe su, mu tsai da aikin.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe homau ngaahi fili, “ʻOua naʻa nau ʻilo pe mamata, kaeʻoua ke mau hoko atu ki honau lotolotonga, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea taʻofi ʻae ngāue.”
12 Sau da yawa Yahudawan da suke da zama kusa da abokan gābanmu sun yi ta zuwa suna yin mana magana, suna cewa “Ko’ina muka juya, za su fāɗa mana.”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he haʻu ʻae kau Siu naʻe nofo ofi kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau fakahā mai ʻo liunga hongofulu ʻenau [te u tau ]mei he ngaahi potu kehekehe.
13 Saboda haka na sa jama’a su ja ɗamara bisa ga iyalinsu a bayan katanga, a wuraren da ba a gina ba. Suna riƙe da takuba, da māsu, da bakkuna.
Ko ia naʻaku fakanofo ai ʻae kakai ʻo tatau mo honau ngaahi fale, ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻi lalo ʻituʻa ʻoe ʻā maka, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, mo ʻenau ngaahi heletā, mo honau ngaahi tao, mo honau ngaahi kaufana.
14 Bayan na dudduba abubuwa, sai na miƙe tsaye na ce wa manyan gari da shugabanni da kuma sauran jama’a, “Kada ku ji tsoronsu. Ku tuna da Ubangiji, wanda yake mai girma da banrazana, ku yi yaƙi don’yan’uwanku, da’ya’yanku maza da mata, da matanku da kuma gidajenku.”
Pea u vakai, mo tuʻu hake, pea u pehē ki he houʻeiki, pea ki he kau pule, pea ki hono toe ʻoe kakai, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu: manatu kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku lahi, mo fakamanavahē, pea mou tau koeʻuhi ko homou ngaahi kāinga, ko homou ngaahi foha, mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine, mo homou ngaahi uaifi, mo homou ngaahi fale.”
15 Da abokan gābanmu suka ji muna sane da shirinsu, Allah kuma ya wargaje shirin nan, sai duk muka dawo ga katangar, kowa ya kama aikinsa.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻe homau ngaahi fili kuo mau ongoʻi ia ʻo ʻilo, pea kuo fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻenau fakakaukau, naʻa mau toe liu mai kotoa pē ki he ʻā maka, ʻo taki taha ki heʻene ngāue.
16 Daga wannan rana zuwa gaba, rabin mutane suka yi aiki, yayinda sauran rabin suka kintsa da māsu, da garkuwa, da bakkuna da makamai. Shugabanni suka goyi bayan dukan mutanen Yahuda
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē talu mei he kuonga ko ia ʻo fai ai pe, naʻe fai ʻe hono vaeuaʻanga ʻo ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ngāue, pea puke ʻe he vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻae ngaahi tao, mo e ngaahi pā, mo e kaufana, mo e kofutau: pea naʻe ʻi he tuʻa fale kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻae kau pule.
17 waɗanda suke ginin katanga. Waɗanda suke ɗaukan kaya suka yi aikinsu da hannu ɗaya, suna kuma riƙe da makami a ɗaya hannun,
Ko kinautolu naʻe langa ʻi he ʻā maka, mo kinautolu naʻe haʻamo kavenga, mo kinautolu naʻe fakaheka, naʻa nau fai ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻae nima ʻe taha ʻi he ngāue, pea puke mahafutau ʻaki ʻae nima ʻe taha.
18 kuma kowane mai gini ya ɗaura takobinsa a gefe yayinda yake aiki. Amma mutum mai busa ƙaho ya kasance tare da ni.
He ko e kau langa, naʻa nau langa pe ʻo taki taha maʻu hono heletā kuo nonoʻo ʻi hono vakavaka. Pea ko ia naʻe ifi ʻae meʻalea naʻe ofi ia kiate au.
19 Sai na ce wa manyan gari, da shugabanni, da sauran jama’a, “Aikin nan babba ne kuma mai yawa, ga shi muna a rarrabe nesa da juna a katangar.
Pea ne u pehē ki he ngaahi houʻeiki, pea ki he kau pule, pea ki hono toe ʻoe kakai, “ʻOku lahi ʻae ngāue pea lau lahi, pea kuo tau mavahevahe ʻi he ʻā maka, pea vāmamaʻo ʻae taha mei he taha.
20 Duk inda kuka ji an busa ƙaho, sai ku taru a wurin. Allahnmu zai yi yaƙi dominmu!”
ʻIlonga ʻae potu ko ia te mou ongoʻi ai ʻae ifi ʻoe meʻalea, mou kātoa ki ai leva kiate kimautolu: ʻe tau ʻe hotau ʻOtua maʻatautolu.”
21 Saboda haka muka ci gaba da aiki, rabin mutane suna riƙe da māsu, daga wayewar gari har zuwa fitowar taurari.
Ko ia naʻa mau ngāue pe ʻi he ngāue pea puke tao ʻe honau vaeuaʻanga ʻanautolu mei he maʻa hake ʻoe pongipongi ʻo aʻu ki heʻene hāmai ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu.
22 A wannan lokaci na kuma ce wa mutane, “A sa kowane mutum da mataimakinsa su zauna a Urushalima da dare, domin a yi tsaro da dare, da safe kuma a kama aiki.”
Pea ne u lea foki ʻi he kuonga ko ia ki he kakai, [ʻo pehē], Tuku ke taki taha mohe mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻiate kitautolu ko e kau leʻo ʻi he pō, pea ngāue ʻi he ʻaho.
23 Saboda haka ni, da’yan’uwana, da bayina, da matsaran da suke tare da ni, ba wanda ya tuɓe tufafinsa; kowa ya rataye makaminsa, ko ya je shan ruwa ma.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai [vete ʻe ]au, pe ko hoku kāinga, pe ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, pe ko e kau tangata leʻo ʻaia naʻe muimui ʻiate au, naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha naʻe vete hono kofu, ka koeʻuhi pe ke fō.
