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 when word was given to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our haters, that I had done the building of the wall and that there were no more broken places in it (though even then I had not put up the doors in the doorways);
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;
Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.
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 men to them saying, I am doing a great work, so that it is not possible for me to come down: is the work to be stopped while I go away from 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 four times they sent to me in this way, and I sent them the same answer.
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 a 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
And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;
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 that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.
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, No such things as you say are being done, they are only a fiction you have made up yourself.
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 were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.
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 have a meeting in the house of God, inside the Temple, and let the doors be shut: for they will come to put you to death; truly, in the night they will come to put you to death.
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, Am I the sort of man to go in flight? what man, in my position, would go into the Temple to keep himself safe? 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.
Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.
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 reason they had given him money, in order that I might be overcome by fear and do what he said and do wrong, and so they would have reason to say evil about me and put shame on 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.
Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me.
15 Cikin kwana hamsin da biyu aka gama gina katangar, a ranar ashirin da biyar ga watan Elul.
So the wall was complete on 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 when our haters had news of this, all the nations round about us were full of fear and were greatly shamed, for they saw that this work had been done by 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.
And further, in those days the chiefs of Judah sent a number of letters to Tobiah, and his letters 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 in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.
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.
And they said much before me of the good he had done, and gave him accounts of my words. And Tobiah sent letters with the purpose of causing me fear.
