Nehemias 4
1 Ita, idi nadamag ni Sanballat a bangbangonenmi ti pader, nangpaluksaw daytoy iti kaungganna, kasta unay ti pungtotna ket linaisna dagiti Judio.
And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard that we are building the wall, that it is displeasing to him, and he is very angry and mocketh at the Jews,
2 Iti imatang dagiti kakabsatna ken iti armada ti Samaria, kinunana, “Ania ti ar-aramiden dagitoy nga aglulupoy a Judio? Ipagarupda ngata a bangonenda manen ti siudad; a mangidatagdanto kadagiti daton; a malpasda ti trabaho iti maysa nga aldaw; a maisublida iti sigud dagiti naburak a bato kalpasan a nauram dagitoy?
and saith before his brethren and the force of Samaria, yea, he saith, 'What [are] the weak Jews doing? are they left to themselves? do they sacrifice? do they complete in a day? do they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish? — and they burnt!'
3 Kaduana idi ni Tobias nga Ammonita, ket kinunana, “Uray atap laeng nga aso ti mapan iti rabaw ti bangbangonenda, rebbaenna ti paderda a bato!”
And Tobiah the Ammonite [is] by him and saith, 'Also, that which they are building — if a fox doth go up, then it hath broken down their stone wall.'
4 Denggem, O Diosmi, ta maum-umsikami. Isublim kadagiti uloda dagiti panangumsida ket ipalubosmo a matakawanda ken maipanda iti daga a pakaibaludanda.
Hear, O our God, for we have been despised; and turn back their reproach on their own head, and give them for a spoil in a land of captivity;
5 Saanmo koma nga abbongan ti kinarugitda ken saanmo a punasen ti basolda iti sangoanam, ta pinagpungtotda dagiti mangibangbangon iti pader.
and do not cover over their iniquity, and their sin from before Thee let not be blotted out, for they have provoked to anger — over-against those building.
6 Isu nga imbangonmi ti pader ket napagkakamangmi amin ti pader agingga iti kagudua ti katayagna gapu ta addaan dagiti tattao iti tarigagay nga agtrabaho.
And we build the wall, and all the wall is joined — unto its half, and the people have a heart to work.
7 Ngem idi nadamag da Saballat, Tobias, dagiti taga-Arabia, dagiti Ammonita, ken dagiti Asdodita nga agtultuloy ti trabaho a pannakatarimaan dagiti pader ti Jerusalem, ken naserraanen dagiti narba a paset ti pader, kasta unay ti pungtotda.
And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, that lengthening hath gone up to the walls of Jerusalem, that the breeches have begun to be stopped, then it is very displeasing to them,
8 Nagtutulagda amin ket immayda a mangraut iti Jerusalem ken riribuken daytoy.
and they conspire, all of them together, to come in to fight against Jerusalem, and to do to it injury.
9 Ngem nagkararagkami iti Diosmi ket nangisaadkami iti guardia a kas pannakasalaknibmi kadakuada iti aldaw ken rabii gapu iti pangtada.
And we pray unto our God, and appoint a watch against them, by day and by night, because of them.
10 Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Juda, “Kumapkapsuten dagiti agaw-awit kadagiti dadagsen. Adu unay dagiti naburak a bato, ket saanmi a kabaelan a tarimaanen ti pader.”
And Judah saith, 'The power of the burden-bearers hath become feeble, and the rubbish [is] abundant, and we are not able to build on the wall.'
11 Ket kinuna dagiti kabusormi, “Saandanto a maammoan wenno makita agingga a mapantayo kadakuada ket patayentayo ida, ken pasardengentayo ti trabaho.”
And our adversaries say, 'They do not know, nor see, till that we come in to their midst, and have slain them, and caused the work to cease.'
12 Iti dayta a gundaway, immay dagiti Judio nga agnanaed iti amin a disso iti asidegda ket nakisaritada kadakami iti naminsangapulo a daras, balbalaagandakami maipanggep iti gandatda maibusor kadakami.
And it cometh to pass, when the Jews have come who are dwelling near them, that they say to us ten times from all the places whither ye return — [they are] against us.
13 Isu a nangikabilak kadagiti tattao iti kababaan a paset ti pader, kadagiti nalayang a disso. Nangtedak iti batang iti tunggal pamilia. Addaanda kadagiti kampilan, gayang ken pana.
And I appoint at the lowest of the places, at the back of the wall, in the clear places, yea, I appoint the people, by their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14 Ket kimmitaak, timmakderak, ket kinunak kadagiti panguloen, kadagiti mangiturturay, ken kadagiti tattao, “Saankayo nga agbuteng kadakuada. Laglagipenyo ti Apo, a naindaklan ken nakaskasdaaw. Makirangetkayo para kadagiti pamiliayo, para kadagiti annakyo, para kadagiti assawayo ken para kadagiti babbalayyo.
And I see, and rise up, and say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, 'Be not afraid of them; the Lord, the great and the fearful, remember ye, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.'
15 Ket napasamak nga idi nadamag dagiti kabusormi a naammoanmi dagiti panggepda ken saan a pinagballigi ti Dios dagiti panggepda, nagsublikami amin iti pader, tunggal maysa iti trabahona.
And it cometh to pass, when our enemies have heard that it hath been known to us, and God doth frustrate their counsel, and we turn back, all of us, unto the wall, each unto his work;
16 Isu a manipud iti dayta a tiempo, kagudua laeng kadagiti adipenko ti nagtarimaan iti pader, ken nakaiggem ti kagudua kadakuada iti gayang, kalasag, pana, ken sikakabalda kabayatan a nakatakder dagiti pangulo iti likudan dagiti tattao ti Juda.
yea, it cometh to pass, from that day, half of my servants are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold of both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the heads [are] behind all the house of Judah.
17 Ket dagiti trabahador nga agipatpatakder iti pader ken agaw-awit kadagiti karga ket isu met laeng ti mangbanbantay kadagiti ayanda. Nagtrabaho ti tunggal maysa babaen iti maysa nga ima, ken iggemna ti armasna iti maysa nga imana.
The builders on the wall, and the bearers of the burden, those lading, [each] with one of his hands is working in the business, and one is laying hold of the missile.
18 Imbarikes ti tunggal trabahador ti kampilanna ket kasdiay ti panagtrabahona. Adda iti abayko ti tao a mangpapauni iti trumpeta.
And the builders [are] each with his sword, girded on his loins, and building, and he who is blowing with a trumpet [is] beside me.
19 Kinunak kadagiti panguloen, kadagiti opisial ken kadagiti dadduma pay a tattao, “Dakkel ken atiddog ti trabaho, ken naiwaraswarastayo iti pader, agiinnadayotayo.
And I say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, 'The work is abundant, and large, and we are separated on the wall, far off one from another;
20 Masapul nga apuraenyo ti agturong iti pakangenganyo iti uni ti trumpeta ket aguummongkayo sadiay. Ti Diostayo ti makiranget para kadatayo.”
in the place that ye hear the voice of the trumpet thither ye are gathered unto us; our God doth fight for us.'
21 Isu a nagtrabahokami. Kagudua kadakuada ti nakaiggem kadagiti gayang manipud iti panagbannawag iti agsapa agingga iti iruruar dagiti bitbituen.
And we are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold of the spears, from the going up of the dawn till the coming forth of the stars.
22 Kinunak pay kadagiti tattao iti dayta a tiempo, “Agpatpatnag koma ti tunggal lalaki ken ti adipenna iti tengnga ti Jerusalem, tapno agguardiada kadatayo bayat ti rabii ken trabahadorda iti aldaw.”
Also, at that time I said to the people, 'Let each with his servant lodge in the midst of Jerusalem, and they have been to us by night a guard, and by day [for] the work:'
23 Isu nga uray siak, wenno dagiti kakabsatko, wenno dagiti adipenko, wenno dagiti lallaki a guardia a simmurot kaniak, awan kadakami ti nagsukat iti badona ken iggem ti tunggal maysa kadakami ti armasna, uray pay no mapan isuna agsakdo.
and there are none — I and my brethren and my servants, the men of the guard who [are] after me — there are none of us putting off our garments, each [hath] his vessel of water.
