Nehemias 2
1 Iti bulan ti Nisan, iti maika-duapulo a tawen a panagturay ni Artaxerxes nga ari, nangpili isuna iti arak, innalak ti arak ket intedko daytoy iti ari. Ita, saanak pay a pulos a nagliday iti imatang ti ari.
Nowe in the moneth Nisan in the twentieth yere of king Artahshashte, the wine stoode before him, and I tooke vp the wine, and gaue it vnto the King. nowe I was not before time sad in his presence.
2 Ngem kinuna ti ari kaniak, “Apay a nagliday ta rupam? Kasla saanka met a masakit. Mabalin a kinaliday ti puso daytoy.” Ket kasta unay ti panagbutengko.
And the king said vnto me, Why is thy coutenance sad, seeing thou art not sicke? this is nothing, but sorow of heart. Then was I sore afrayd,
3 Kinunak iti ari, “Agbiag koma ti ari iti agnanayon! Apay koma a saan nga agliday ti rupak? Ti siudad, a nakaitaneman dagiti ammak, ket nadadael ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy.”
And I said to the King, God saue the King for euer: why should not my countenance be sad, when the citie and house of the sepulchres of my fathers lieth waste, and the gates thereof are deuoured with fire?
4 Ket kinuna ti ari kaniak, “Ania ti kayatmo nga aramidek?” Isu a nagkararagak iti Dios ti langit.
And the King said vnto me, For what thing doest thou require? Then I prayed to the God of heauen,
5 Ket insungbatko iti ari, “No kasla nasayaat daytoy iti ari, ken no makaay-ayo ti inaramid ti adipenmo iti imatangmo, ibaonnak koma a mapan idiay Juda, iti siudad a nakaitaneman dagiti ammak, tapno bangonek manen daytoy.”
And sayde vnto the King, If it please the King, and if thy seruant haue found fauour in thy sight, I desire that thou wouldest send me to Iudah vnto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I may buyld it.
6 Insungbat ti ari kaniak (nakatugaw met idi ti reyna iti abayna), “Kasano kabayag ti kaawanmo ken kaanoka nga agsubli?” Naragsakan ti ari a nangibaon kaniak idi imbagak kenkuana dagiti petsa.
And the King sayd vnto me, (the Queene also sitting by him) How long shall thy iourney be? and when wilt thou come againe? So it pleased the King, and he sent me, and I set him a time.
7 Ket kinunak iti ari, “No pakaragsakan ti ari, ikkannak koma kadagiti surat para kadagiti gobernador iti ballasiw ti Karayan tapno palubosandak a lumabas kadagiti masakupanda iti panagturongko idiay Juda.
After I saide vnto the King, If it please the King, let them giue mee letters to the captaines beyond the Riuer, that they may conuay me ouer, till I come into Iudah,
8 Adda koma pay surat a para kenni Asaf nga agay-aywan iti kabakiran ti ari, tapno ikkannak iti tarikayo a maaramid nga awanan kadagiti ruangan ti sarikedked iti abay ti templo, para iti pader ti siudad, ken para iti balay a pagnaedak.” Ket gapu ta adda kaniak ti ima ti Dios, pinatgan ti ari dagiti kiddawko.
And letters vnto Asaph the keeper of the Kings parke, that hee may giue me timber to buylde the gates of the palace (which apperteined to the house) and for the walles of the citie, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the King gaue me according to the good hand of my God vpon me.
9 Dimtengak kadagiti gobernador iti ballasiw ti Karayan, ket intedko kadakuada dagiti surat ti ari. Ita, pinakuyogannak ti ari kadagiti opisial ti armada ken lallaki a nakakabalio.
Then came I to the captaines beyonde the Riuer, and gaue them the Kings letters. And the King had sent captaines of the armie and horsemen with me.
10 Idi nangngeg daytoy da Sanballat a Horonita ken Tobias nga adipen nga Ammonita, saanda a naragsakan nga adda immay nga agtarigagay a tumulong kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
But Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah a seruant an Ammonite heard it, and it grieued them sore, that there was come a man which sought the wealth of the children of Israel.
11 Isu a napanak idiay Jerusalem ken addaak idiay iti tallo nga aldaw.
So I came to Ierusalem, and was there three dayes.
12 Bimmangonak iti rabii, siak ken dagiti sumagmamano a lallaki a kaduak. Awan ti nangibagaak iti inkabil ti Diosko iti pusok nga aramidek para iti Jerusalem. Awan ti intugotko nga ayup, ti laeng ayup a pagsaksakayak.
And I rose in the night, I, and a fewe men with me: for I told no man, what God had put in mine heart to do at Ierusalem, and there was not a beast with me, saue the beast whereon I rode.
13 Iti rabii, rimmuarak iti Ruangan ti Tanap, nga agturong iti Bubon ti Atap nga aso ken iti Ruangan a Pagiruaran ti Rugit ket sinukimatko dagiti pader ti Jerusalem a narba ken dagiti kayo a ruangan a napuoran.
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, and came before the dragon well, and to the dung porte, and vewed the walles of Ierusalem, howe they were broken downe, and the portes thereof deuoured with the fire.
14 Kalpasanna, napanak iti Ruangan ti Burayok ken iti tangke ti ari. Nailet unay ti disso a paglasatan ti ayup a pagsaksakayak.
Then I went foorth vnto the gate of the fountaine, and to the Kings fishpoole, and there was no rowme for the beast that was vnder me to passe.
15 Isu a napankami iti dayta a rabii iti tanap ket sinukimatmi ti pader, nagsubliak ket simrekak iti Ruangan ti Tanap ket nakasubliak ngarud.
Then went I vp in ye night by the brooke, and viewed the wall, and turned backe, and comming backe, I entred by the gate of the valley and returned.
16 Saan nga ammo dagiti mangiturturay ti napanak wenno ti inaramidko ken saanko pay nga impakaammo kadagiti Judio, wenno kadagiti padi, wenno kadagiti opisial, wenno kadagiti mangiturturay, wenno kadagiti dadduma a nangaramid iti trabaho.
And the rulers knewe not whither I was gone, nor what I did, neither did I as yet tell it vnto the Iewes, nor to the Priestes, nor to the noble men, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that laboured in the worke.
17 Kinunak kadakuada, “Makitayo ti parikut a sangsangoentayo, no kasano a nadadael ti Jerusalem ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy. Umaykayo, ket bangonentayo manen ti pader ti Jerusalem tapno saantayon a maibabain.”
Afterward I said vnto them, Ye see the miserie that we are in, how Ierusalem lyeth waste, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire: come and let vs buylde the wall of Ierusalem, that we be no more a reproche.
18 Imbagak kadakuada nga adda kaniak ti ima ti Dios ken kasta met dagiti sao ti ari nga imbagana kaniak. Kinunada, “Tumakdertayo ket bangonentayo.” Isu a pinapigsada dagiti imada para iti nasayaat a trabaho.
Then I tolde them of the hande of my God, (which was good ouer me) and also of the Kings wordes that he had spoken vnto me. And they sayd, Let vs rise, and buyld. So they strengthened their hand to good.
19 Ngem idi nadamag da Sanballat a Horonita, Tobias, ti adipen nga Ammonita ken Gesem nga Arabo ti maipapan iti daytoy, linalais ken kinatkatawaandakami, ket kinunada, “Ania ti ar-aramidenyo? Busbusorenyo kadi ti ari?”
But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the seruant an Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian heard it, they mocked vs and despised vs, and said, What a thing is this that ye doe? Will ye rebell against the King?
20 Ket insungbatko kadakuada, “Ti Dios ti langit ti mangted kadakami iti balligi. Adipennakami ket rugiananmi ti agpatakder. Ngem awan ti bingayyo, awan ti karbenganyo ken awan ti pasetyo iti pakasaritaan ti Jerusalem.”
Then answered I them, and sayd to them, The God of heauen, he will prosper vs, and we his seruants will rise vp and buylde: but as for you, ye haue no portion nor right, nor memoriall in Ierusalem.
