Nehemaia 4

1 Hanki tagrama Jerusalemi rankuma'mofo kegina ete azeri otuna zamofo nanekema Sameria kazigama kvama hu'nea ne' Senbalati'ma nentahino'a, tusi arimpa aheneranteno, Jiu vahe'mota ki'za zokago ke hurante'ne.

Now when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he was furious and filled with indignation. He ridiculed the Jews

2 Agra eri'za vahe zamavufine, Sameria sondia vahe'mokizmi zamavufina amanage hu'ne, Zamagra hanavezmima omne Jiu vahe'mo'za na'a nehaze? Zamagrama antahi'zana kuma kegina eri so'e hugahune hu'za nehazafi? Zamagra ana maka ofa Kresramana vunaku nehazafi? Zamagra magoke zage ferupina, kegina huvagare'za nehazafi? Tevemo'ma te fragu vazirami'nea haveramina inankna hu'za eri'za kuma kegina eri so'e hunakura nehaze?

before his associates and the army of Samaria, saying, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Can they restore the wall by themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Can they bring these burnt stones back to life from the mounds of rubble?”

3 Anankema nehigeno'a, Amoni vahepinti ne' Tobia'a Senbalati tava'onte oti'neno amanage hu'ne, Zamagra na'a tro nehazafi keho, afi kramo'ma ana keginare'ma takau resiana have keginazamia renafe hutregahie!

Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said, “If even a fox were to climb up on what they are building, it would break down their wall of stones!”

4 Hanki anankema hazama nentahi'na, amanage hu'na nunamuna hu'noe, Anumzantimoka nunamuntia antahiramio. Na'ankure ama vahe'mo'za tagrikura ki'za zokago ke hunerantaze. E'ina hu'negu atregeno ana nanekemo'a zamagri'a zamavufare fore hino. Ana hanige'za ha' vahe'zamimo'za ha' eme huzamante'za zamavareza ru moparega kina ome huzamanteho.

Hear us, O God, for we are despised. Turn their scorn back upon their own heads, and let them be taken as plunder to a land of captivity.

5 Havi avu'ava'ma hu'za kumi'ma hu'naza zana keamnea nosunka kumi'zamia eri atreozmanto. Na'ankure keginama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamavufina, zamagra kiza zokago ke hunerante'za Kagrira kazeri krimpa nehaze.

Do not cover up their iniquity or let their sin be blotted out from Your sight, for they have provoked the builders.

6 Hanki ana nunamuma hutogeta, maka'mota tagu'areti huta hanavetita eri'zana erita, kankamuna rehiza huvaga ronkeno kuma keginamo'a marerino amu'nompi vu'ne. Na'ankure mika vahe'mota mago tarimpa huta eri'za eri antahintahi huteta ana eri'zana eri'none.

So we rebuilt the wall until all of it was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

7 Hianagi Senbalati'ma Tobia'ma Arapu vahe'mo'zane Amoni vahemozane, Asdoti vahe'ma antahizama Jerusalemi kuma keginama kazigazi huta erita nevuna nanekene, kuma keginamofo ne'onse kankamuma rehiza'ma nehuna nanekema nentahi'za, tusi zamarimpa aherante'naze.

When Sanballat and Tobiah, together with the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they were furious,

8 Ana nehu'za zamagra Jerusalemi kumate naga ha' eme hunerante'za, eri'zama e'neruna eri'za eri haviza hunaku kea retro hu'naze.

and all of them conspired to come and fight against Jerusalem and create a hindrance.

9 Ana hu'neanagi tagra Anumzantimofontega nunamuna nehuta, kegavama hu vahera huzamantonke'za feru'ene kenage'enena ha'ma eme hurante zankura kegava hu'naze.

So we prayed to our God and posted a guard against them day and night.

10 Hianagi Jiu vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za nehaze, eri'za vahe'mokizmi hankavemo'a hago vagare'za hie. Ana higeno fragu vaziramino'ma hihima hu'nea haveramina rama'a me'neankita eri'zana eri vaga oregahune.

Meanwhile, the people of Judah said: “The strength of the laborer fails, and there is so much rubble that we will never be able to rebuild the wall.”

11 Ha' vahetimo'za amanage hu'naze, Jiu vahe'mo'za tagrira ke'za antahi'za osu'nesageta, ame huta vuta ha' ome huzamanteta zamahe vaga resanunkeno, ana eri'zamo'a amne zankna hugahie.

And our enemies said, “Before they know or see a thing, we will come into their midst, kill them, and put an end to the work.”

12 Hanki ana vahe'mokizmi tva'onte'ma nemaniza Jiu vahe'mo'za 10ni'a zupa naza agatere'za eme tasami'za, maka asoparegati hara eme huranteke nehaze.

At that time the Jews who lived nearby came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”

13 Anagema hazage'na mago'a vahera huzamantoge'za vu'za, keginamo'ma urami'nea kaziga ome kegava nehazage'na, mago'a vahera huzmantoge'za kankamuma maneterema hu'nere bainati kazitamine, karugru kevene, ati kevene eri'ne'za nagate nagate otitere hu'naze.

So I stationed men behind the lowest sections of the wall, at the vulnerable areas. I stationed them by families with their swords, spears, and bows.

14 Ana'ma hutoge'za veamo'zama koro'ma hazazama nezamage'na, kva vahe'ene eri'za vahe'ene ana maka vahetamina amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, tamagra ha' vahekura korora osiho. Ra Anumzana hankavenentake huno marerisa Anumza mani'neanki tamagera okanita, tamafuhe'inku'ene ne' mofavre tamigu'ene mofa'nane tamigu'ene a'nane tamigu'ene nonkuma tamigu'ene tamagesa nentahita korora osu hankavetita hara hiho.

After I had made an inspection, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”

15 Hanki ha' vahetimo'zama ha'ma eme hurante kema anakiza nanekema tagrama antahuna nanekea zamagra antahi'naze. Hianagi ha'ma eme hurante nanekema anaki'nazana Ra Anumzamo zamazeri havia higeno hara eme huorantazageta, mago'magomota kegina hu eri'zantirera vu'none.

When our enemies heard that we were aware of their scheme and that God had frustrated it, each of us returned to his own work on the wall.

16 Hagi ana knareti agafa huta, amu'nompinti vahera refko hunke'za mago'amo'za kegina eri'zana eri'naze. Hige'za mago'amo'za atine kevene zamimizare'ma nentaniza ha' kukenane, hankone zamazampina eri'ne'za oti'za kegava hu'naze. Hagi ana nehazage'za, erizante'ma ugota hu'za kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'zane ana maka Juda vahe'ma keginama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamefi otitere hu'naze.

And from that day on, half of my servants did the work while the other half held spears, shields, bows, and armor. The officers stationed themselves behind all the people of Judah

17 Hagi keginama haza vahe'mo'za mago kaziga zamazanteti eri'za eneri'za, mago kaziga zamazampina ha'za eri'naze.

who were rebuilding the wall. The laborers who carried materials worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other.

18 Ana nehu'za eri'zama eri'za vahe'mo'za bainati kazina atrazageno zamasoparega urami'nege'za eri'zana eri'naze. Hianagi paziveteti'ma ufema neraza vahe'mo'za nagrane mani'naze.

And each of the builders worked with his sword strapped at his side. But the trumpeter stayed beside me.

19 Anama hutazage'na kva vahe'tamine ugotama huzmante'naza kva vahetamine mago'a vahetaminena amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Kegina hu za'za huta vahera afete umani emani huneta eri'zana enerune.

Then I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people: “The work is great and extensive, and we are spread out far from one another along the wall.

20 E'ina hu'negu ina knare'ma ufenkrafama antahisutma, ame hutma nagra mani'nore eme eri tru hiho. Anumzantimo'a tagritega anteno ha' vahetia hara huzamantegahie.

Wherever you hear the sound of the horn, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us!”

21 Hagi anagema hutogeta mika zupa nanteranteti'ma vuno kinagama monafima hanafi'mo'ma ehanatia knare'ma vigeta, kegina eri'zama erita vu'nonana vahera amu'nompinti refko hu'neta mago'amo'za karugru kevea zamazampi eri'ne'za kva nehazageta, mago'amota kuma kegina eri'zana eri'none.

So we continued the work, while half of the men held spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out.

22 Hanki ana zupa mago'ene amanage hu'na vahera zamasami'noe, Eri'zama eri vagama resutma mago mago vahe'moka eri'za vahekane Jerusalemi kumara atreta megi'a ovuta, agu'afi mani'neta kenagera kegava huneranteta, msama hanigeta kuma kegina eri'zana erigahaze.

At that time I also said to the people, “Let every man and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they can stand guard by night and work by day.”

23 Hagi ana knafina nagrane nafuhe'zane nagri eri'za vahe'mo'zane nagri'ma kvama hunenantaza vahe'mo'zanena kukenatia hate otre'none. Makamota ha'zana tazampi me'negeta otreta, tinteganema vunana tazampinke me'negeta vu'no'ne.

So neither I nor my brothers nor my servants nor the guards with me changed out of our clothes; each carried his weapon, even to go for water.
