Nehemiya 6
1 Sa’ad da magana ta zo kunnen Sanballat, da Tobiya, da Geshem mutumin Arab da kuma sauran abokan gābanmu cewa na sāke gina katangar har babu sauran tsaguwa da ta ragu, ko da yake har zuwa lokacin ban sa ƙofofi a ƙyamare ba
Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
2 Sanballat da Geshem suka aika mini wannan saƙo cewa, “Ka zo, mu sadu a wani ƙauye a filin Ono.” Amma makirci ne suke yi don su cuce ni;
that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
3 saboda haka sai na aika musu da wannan amsa, na ce, “Ina cikin babban aiki, ba zan kuwa iya gangarawa ba. Don me zan bar aikin yă tsaya don in gangara zuwa wurinku?”
And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it, and come down to you?
4 Suka yi ta aiko mini da wannan saƙo har sau huɗu, ni kuwa na yi ta ba su amsa irin ta dā.
And they sent to me four times after this sort, and I answered them after the same manner.
5 Sai sau na biya, Sanballat ya aiki mataimakinsa gare ni da irin saƙo guda, kuma a hannunsa akwai wasiƙar da ba a yimƙe ba
Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand
6 wadda aka rubuta cewa, “An ba da labari cikin al’ummai, kuma Geshem ya ce gaskiya ne, cewa kai da Yahudawa kun shirya tawaye, saboda haka kuke sāke ginin katangar. Ban da haka ma, bisa ga waɗannan rahotanni kana shirin zaman sarkinsu
in which was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, for which cause thou are building the wall. And thou would be their king according to these words.
7 har ma ka naɗa annabawa su yi wannan shela game da kai a Urushalima, su ce, ‘Akwai sarki a Yahuda!’ To, wannan rahoto zai koma wurin sarki; saboda haka ka zo, mu tattauna wannan batu.”
And thou have also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah. And now it shall be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
8 Sai na aika masa wannan amsa, na ce, “Babu wani abu haka da yake faruwa; ka dai ƙaga wannan daga tunaninka ne.”
Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou say, but thou imagine them out of thine own heart.
9 Suka dai yi ƙoƙari su tsoratar da mu, suna cewa, “Hannuwansu za su rasa ƙarfin yin aiki, ba kuwa za su ƙare aikin ba.” Amma na yi addu’a na ce, “Yanzu, ya Allah, ka ƙarfafa hannuwana.”
For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work that it not be done. But now, O God, strengthen thou my hands.
10 Wata rana na tafi gidan Shemahiya ɗan Delahiya, ɗan Mehetabel, wanda aka hana fita a gidansa. Ya ce mini, “Mu sadu gobe a gidan Allah, a cikin haikali, mu kuma kulle ƙofofin haikali, gama mutane suna zuwa su kashe ka, tabbatacce za su zo da dare su kashe ka.”
And I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up, and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple. For they will come to kill thee, yea, they will come to kill thee in the night.
11 Amma na ce, “Ya kamata mutum kamar ni yă gudu? Ko kuwa ya kamata wani kamar ni yă shiga cikin haikali don yă ceci ransa? Ba zan tafi ba!”
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
12 Na gane cewa Allah bai aike shi ba, ya yi annabci a kaina domin Tobiya da Sanballat sun yi hayarsa ne.
And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me, and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13 An yi hayarsa don yă sa in ji tsoro in yi zunubi ta yin haka, sa’an nan za su ba ni mugun suna, su wofinta ni.
For this cause he was hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14 Ya Allahna, ka tuna da Tobiya da Sanballat, saboda abin da suka yi; ka kuma tuna da annabiya Nowadiya da sauran annabawa waɗanda suke ƙoƙari su tsorata ni.
Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, who would have put me in fear.
15 Cikin kwana hamsin da biyu aka gama gina katangar, a ranar ashirin da biyar ga watan Elul.
So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.
16 Sa’ad da dukan abokan gābanmu suka ji haka, dukan al’umman da suke kewaye da mu suka ji tsoro, suka rasa ƙarfin halinsu, domin sun gane cewa wannan aiki an yi shi da taimakon Allahnmu ne.
And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard of it, that all the nations that were around us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
17 A waɗannan kwanaki, manyan garin Yahuda suka yi ta aika wasiƙu masu yawa zuwa ga Tobiya, shi kuma ya yi ta aika musu da amsoshi.
Moreover in those days the ranking men of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.
18 Gama mutane da yawa a cikin Yahuda sun rantse wa Tobiya za su goyi bayansa, domin ya auri’yar Shekaniya, ɗan Ara. Ɗansa kuma, wato, Yehohanan, ya auri’yar Meshullam, ɗan Berekiya.
For there were many in Judah sworn to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife.
19 Ban da haka ma, mutanen sun yi ta ba ni labarin ayyuka masu kyau da Tobiya ya yi, sa’an nan kuma suna faɗa masa duk abin da na faɗa. Tobiya kuwa ya aika wasiƙu don yă tsorata ni.
Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
