1 Nʼọnwa Nisan, nʼiri afọ abụọ nke ọchịchị eze Ataksekses, mgbe e wetaara eze mmanya. E buru m mmanya ahụ bugara ya eze. Ugbu a, o nwebeghị mgbe ọbụla m jirila ihu mgbarụ bịa nʼihu eze.
Forsothe it was doon in the monethe Nysan, in the twentithe yeer of Artaxerses, kyng, and wyn was bifor hym, and Y reyside the wyn, and yaf to the kyng, and Y was as langwischynge bifor his face.
2 Ya mere, eze jụrụ m, “Gịnị mere ihu gị ji gbaruo mgbe ọ dịghị ọrịa ji gị? Nke a na-egosi naanị na obi jọrọ gị njọ.” Ụjọ tụrụ m nnọọ nke ukwu.
And the kyng seide to me, Whi is thi cheer sory, sithen Y se not thee sijk? This is not without cause; but `yuel, Y not what, is in thin herte. And Y dredde ful greetli;
3 Azara m eze sị, “Onyenwe m, ka ọchịchị eze dị ogologo ndụ. Gịnị ga-eme ka obi dị m ụtọ ebe ọ bụ na obodo ahụ e liri nna nna m ha aghọọla mkpọmkpọ ebe, nke a kpọkwara ọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile ọkụ?”
and seide to the kyng, Kyng, lyue thou withouten ende; whi moreneth not my cheer? for the citee of the hows of the sepulcris of my fadir is desert, `ether forsakun, and the yatis therof ben brent with fier.
4 Eze sịrị m, “Ọ bụ gịnị ka ị chọrọ?” Mgbe ahụ ekpere m ekpere nʼobi m nye Chineke,
And the kyng seide to me, For what thing axist thou? And Y preiede God of heuene,
5 ma zaa eze sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-amasị eze, biko, ọ bụrụkwa na ohu gị achọta ihuọma nʼanya gị, ana m arịọ ka ị ziga m Juda, bụ obodo nna nna m ha, ka m gaa wugharịakwa ya.”
and seide to the kyng, If it semeth good to the kyng, and if it plesith thi seruauntis bifor thi face, Y biseche, that thou sende me in to Judee, to the citee of the sepulcre of my fadir, and Y schal bilde it.
6 Eze sịrị m, ebe nwunye ya nọkwa nʼakụkụ ya, “Ije gị ọ ga-abụ ruo olee mgbe, olee mgbe ị ga-alọghachitekwa?” Ọ masịrị eze i ziga m. Ya mere, enyere m ya oge.
And the kyng seide to me, and the queen sat bisidis him, `Til to what tyme schal thi weie be, and whanne schalt thou turne ayen? And Y pleside `bifor the cheer of the kyng, and he sente me, and Y ordeynede to hym a time;
7 Mgbe ahụ, asịrị m ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-amasị eze, aga m achọ ka i nye m akwụkwọ nke m ga-enye ndịisi ọchịchị niile nọ nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ osimiri Yufretis, ka ha kwere ka m site nʼobodo ha gafee ruo mgbe m ga-eru na Juda.
and Y seide to `the kyng, If it semeth good to kyng, yyue he pistlis to me to the duykis of the cuntrey biyende the flood, that thei lede me ouer, til Y come in to Judee;
8 Nyekwa m akwụkwọ ozi m ga-enye Asaf, onye na-elekọta ọhịa eze, ka o nye m osisi nke a ga-eji rụzie ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼakụkụ ụlọnsọ, na nke a ga-eji rụọ mgbidi obodo ahụ, na nke m ga-eji rụọ ụlọ nke aka m.” Eze meere m ihe ndị a niile, nʼihi na aka ebere Chineke dịnyere m.
`and a pistle to Asaph, kepere of the kyngis forest, that he yyue trees to me, that Y may hile the yatis of the tour of the hows, and of the wal of the citee, and the hows, into which Y schal entre. And `the kyng yaf to me, bi the good hond of my God with me.
9 Mgbe m rutere obodo ndị a dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ osimiri Yufretis, enyere m ndịisi ọchịchị niile akwụkwọ ahụ eze dere nye m. Eze dunyere m ndịisi agha na ndị agha na-agba ịnyịnya ka ha chebe m nʼije m.
And Y cam to the duykis of the cuntrei biyende the flood, and Y yaf to hem the pistlis of the kyng. Sotheli the kyng `hadde sent with me the princes of knyytis, and horsemen.
10 Ma mgbe Sanbalat, onye Horonaim, na Tobaya, onye Amọn bụ onyeisi ọrụ ọchịchị, nụrụ ihe banyere ọbịbịa m, iwe were ha nke ukwuu ịnụ na o nwere onye na-achọ inyere ndị Izrel aka.
And Sanaballath Oronythes, and Tobie, the seruaunt Amanytes, herden, and thei weren soreuful bi greet turment, for a man was comun, that souyte prosperite of the sones of Israel.
11 E rutere m Jerusalem, nọdụkwa ebe ahụ mkpụrụ ụbọchị atọ,
And Y cam in to Jerusalem, and Y was there thre daies.
12 eji m abalị pụọ kpọrọ mmadụ ole na ole. O nwebeghị onye ọbụla m gwara ihe Chineke tinyere m nʼobi ime na Jerusalem. Ọ dịghị ịnyịnya ọzọ anyị ji ma ọ bụghị nke ahụ m na-agba.
And Y roos bi nyyt, Y and a fewe men with me, and Y schewide not to ony man, what thing God hadde youe in myn herte, that Y wolde do in Jerusalem; and no werk beest was with me, no but the beeste, `on which Y sat.
13 Nʼabalị a pụrụ m site nʼỌnụ ụzọ ama Ndagwurugwu ruo nʼisi iyi mmiri Nkịta ọhịa, sitekwa nʼebe ahụ ruo nʼỌnụ ụzọ ama ebe ikpofu ahịhịa. Anyị jegharịrị ịhụ ebe niile mgbidi Jerusalem dara ada, na ọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile nke ọkụ rere.
And Y yede out bi the yate of the valei bi nyyt, and bifor the welle of dragoun, and to the yat of drit; and Y bihelde the wal of Jerusalem distried, and the yatis therof wastid bi fier.
14 Emesịa, ejeruru m ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼebe isi iyi dị, ruokwa nʼọdọ mmiri eze, ma ịnyịnya ibu m enweghị ike isite nʼebe ahụ gafee.
And Y passid to the yate of the welle, and to the watir cundit of the kyng, and no place was to the hors, `on which Y sat `for to passe;
15 Ya mere, ejiri m nʼabalị jeruo ndagwurugwu ahụ, leruo mgbidi ahụ anya. Emesịa, atụgharịrị m lọghachi site nʼọnụ ụzọ Ama ndagwurugwu.
and Y stiede bi the stronde `in nyyt, and Y bihelde the wal, and Y turnede ayen, and cam to the yate of the valei, and Y yede ayen.
16 Ndịisi obodo amaghị ebe m gara maọbụ ihe m na-eme, nʼihi na agwabeghị m onye Juu ọbụla ihe m bu nʼobi, maọbụ ndị nchụaja, maọbụ ndị a na-asọpụrụ, maọbụ ndị ọchịchị obodo, maọbụ onye ọzọ ọbụla ndị ga-arụ ọrụ ahụ.
Forsothe the magistratis wisten not, whidir Y hadde go, ethir what Y wolde do; but also Y hadde not schewid ony thing to the Jewis, and prestis, and to the best men, and magestratis, and to othere men that maden the werk, `til to that `place, that is, til to that tyme.
17 Nʼikpeazụ, agwara m ha sị, “Unu maara nke ọma ihe dakwasịrị obodo anyị. Lee otu mgbidi ya si dakasịa, na otu ọnụ ụzọ ama ya si rechapụ ọkụ. Ka anyị wuzienụ mgbidi Jerusalem, si otu a wepụ ihe ihere a dịịrị anyị.”
And Y seide to hem, Ye knowen the turment, in which we ben, for Jerusalem is deseert, and the yatis therof ben wastid with fier; come ye, bilde we the wallis of Jerusalem, and be we no more schenship.
18 Akọọrọ m ha ọchịchọ ahụ Chineke tinyere m nʼobi na ihe mụ na eze kwuru, na otu o si kwadoo ihe m gwara ya. Ha zara m sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka anyị wugharịanụ mgbidi ahụ.” Ọrụ ahụ bidokwara na-atụfughị oge.
And Y schewide to hem the hond of my God, that it was good with me, and the wordis of the kyng, whiche he spak to me; and Y seide, Rise we, and bilde we; and the hondis of hem weren coumfortid in good.
19 Ma mgbe Sanbalat, onye Horon, na Tobaya, onyeozi ndị Amọn, na Geshem onye Arab, nụrụ ya, ha kwara anyị emo sị, “Gịnị bụ ihe nke a unu na-eme? Ọ bụ eze ka unu na-enupu isi megide?”
Forsothe Sanballath Oronytes, and Tobie, the seruaunt Amanytes, and Gosem Arabs, herden, and scorneden vs, and dispisiden; and seiden, What is this thing, which ye doon? whether ye rebellen ayens the kyng?
20 Ma azara m ha sị, “Chineke nke eluigwe ga-eme ka ihe gara anyị nke ọma. Anyị onwe anyị bụ ndị ohu ya ga-amalite iwughachi mgbidi a, ma unu onwe unu, unu enweghị oke maọbụ ọnọdụ ziri ezi maọbụ ihe ncheta ọbụla nʼime Jerusalem.”
And Y yeldide to hem a word, and seide to hem, God hym silf of heuene helpith vs, and we ben hise seruauntis; rise we, and bilde; forsothe part and riytfulnesse and mynde in Jerusalem is not to you.
