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.

But when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and was very indignant, and mocked 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?

He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are burnt?”

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!

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall.”

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, our God, for we are despised. Turn back their reproach on their own head. Give them up for a plunder in 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.

Don’t cover their iniquity. Don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted 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 built the wall; and all the wall was joined together 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.

But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, they were very angry;

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 they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion amongst us.

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.

But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night because of them.

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.

Judah said, “The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading and there is much rubble, so that we are not able to build 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.

Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in amongst them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”

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.

When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, “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.

Therefore I set guards in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places. I set the people by family groups with their swords, their spears, and their 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.

I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

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 it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.

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.

From that time forth, half of my servants did the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

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

Those who built the wall, and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands did the work, and with the other held his weapon.

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.

Amongst the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by 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.

I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widely spread out, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.

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 trumpet, rally there to us. 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 did the work. Half of the people held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

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.

Likewise at the same time I said to the people, “Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labour in the 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 men of the guard who followed me took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.
