Nehemaia 6

1 Anante Sanbalati'ma, Tobia'ma, Araputi ne' Gesemu'ene mago'a ha' vahetimo'za, nagrama mago kankamuma otre'nama kuma keginama huvagaroa nanekea antahi'naze. Hianagi kuma keginamofo kafaramintera kahana hageonte'noe.

When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left—though to that time I had not yet installed the doors in the gates—

2 Sanbalatike Gesemukea amanage huke kea atrenantena'e, Kagra enketa Keferimie nehaza kumama Ono agupofima me'nere atru hanune huke hu'na'e. Hianagi zanagra nagri nazeri haviza hunaku havige hu'na'e.

Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to harm me.

3 Anagema hake'na ana kezani'amofo nona'a amanage hu'na kea atrezamantoge'za, mago'a vahe'mo'za eri'za vu'naze. Nagra ra eri'za eri agafa hunte'nena e'neruanki'na ana eri'zana atre'na uoramigahue. Na'agafare eri'zana atresanugeno me'nesige'na tanagritega uramigahue?

So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it to go down to you?”

4 Hianagi zanagra ana netremokea anahukna nanekea 4'a zupa atrenantakeno e'ne. Hige'na anama atrenantakeno'ma eterema hia knarera, ko'ma ese zupama kezanire'ma ke nonama hu'noa nanekege'za atrezanante'noe.

Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave the same reply.

5 Anama hugeno'a 5 furera, ko'ma atrenanta'a nanekegna kea Sanbalati'a avontafete kreteno, fukina reokamareno amne amigeno eri'za vahe'amo erino e'ne.

The fifth time, Sanballat sent me this same message by his young servant, who had in his hand an unsealed letter

6 Ana avompina amanage huno krente'ne, Nagra Sanbalati'nama zaho kema antahuana tvaontire'ma mani'naza kumapi vahe'mo'za nehazageno, Gesemu'enema hiana, kagrane Jiu vahe'mota kuma kegina nehuta, kini ne'mofo agorga omaniku nehaze. Ana nehanagenka kagra Nehemaiaga kini zamia maniku nehane.

that read: “It is reported among the nations—and Geshem agrees—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and this is why you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their king,

7 Ana nehunka kasnampa vahe huhampri zamantanke'za Jerusalemi kumapi huama hu'za, Juda moparera mago kini mani'ne hu'za nehaze. Ana hu'neankino ana kemo'a Pesia kini nete vugahie. E'ina hu'negu kagra egeta, ana zamofo nanekea erinte fatgo ha'maneno.

and you have even appointed prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf: ‘There is a king in Judah.’ Soon these rumors will reach the ears of the king. So come, let us confer together.”

8 Hagi Sanbalati kerera nona'a amanage hu'na avona kre'noe. Amama hana nanekemo'a magore huno tamagea omne'neanki, kagra'a antahintahifinti eri fore nehane.

Then I sent him this reply: “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind.”

9 Na'ankure ha' vahetimo'za amanage hu'za antahi'naze, nanekefinti zamazeri koro hanunke'za, zamesra hu'za eri'zana eri vagaoresaze hu'za anara hu'naze. Hianagi Anumzamoka nazana eri hankavetige'na eri'zana eri'neno hu'na nunamuna hu'noe.

For they were all trying to frighten us, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will never be finished.” But now, my God, strengthen my hands.

10 Anante mago zupa Mehetabeli negeho ne' Delaia nemofo Simai'a noma'a kafana erigino mani'nere nantu antente'na vugeno, amanage huno hu'ne, Anumzamofo mono nompima ruotage'ma hu'nefinka ome franekita, mono no kafana erigisanu'e. Na'ankure meni kenagera ha' vahekamo'za eme kahe friku keaga hu'naze.

Later, I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his house. He said: “Let us meet at the house of God inside the temple. Let us shut the temple doors because they are coming to kill you— by night they are coming to kill you!”

11 Hianagi nagra amanage hu'na kenona hu'noe, Nagra amanahu vahe'mo'na korora fregahufi? Inankna hu'na kva vahe'mo'na korora frena vu'na mono nompina ome frakina nagura vazigahue? I'o, nagra anara ovutfa hugahue.

But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!”

12 Nagrama antahi ama'ma huana ama ana nanekea Anumzamo asamigeno onasami'ne. Hianagi Tobiake Sanbalatike zago nemike hakeno, havi kasnampa ke nagritera hu'ne.

I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

13 Hanki nagri'ma nazeri koro'ma hanake'na koroma fre'na vu'na mono nompima ome frakisua zamo'ma hanige'na kumi'ma hanugeke, havi nagi nenamike huhaviza hunantesnanku, zanagra zago nemike huntakeno koro kea hunante'ne.

He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would sin by doing as he suggested, so they could give me a bad name in order to discredit me.

14 Hige'na zanazeri haviza hinogu Anumzamofontega nunamuma hu'na nagri Anumzamoka ko, Tobiake Sanbalatikema nagri'ma hunante'na'a zanavu zanavara negenka, kasnampa a' Naodia'ene mago'a kasnampa vahe'mo'zanema nazeri kore'ma hunaku'ma nehaza zana hago zamage'nane.

O my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who tried to intimidate me.

15 Hanki Elul ikamofona 25 zupa Jerusalemi kuma keginama nehuna eri'zana erivaga re'none. Ana eri'zama eri'nonana 52'a zagegnamofo agu'afi eri'none.

So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul.

16 Ana hunke'za tva'ontire'ma me'nea mopafima mani'naza ha' vahetimozama ana nanekema nentahi'za tusi koro hazageno, amuha zazamia omane'ne. Na'ankure zamagrama antahi'zana tagri Anumzamo taza higeta kuma kegina huvaga re'none.

When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and disheartened, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God.

17 Hagi ana knafina Juda ranra vahe'mo'za Tobiana rama'a zupa avona kre'za atrente'naze. Ana hazageno Tobia'a agranena anazanke huno avona atrezamantege'za avona omi ami hu'naze.

Also in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came back to them.

18 Ana hige'za Juda vahepintira hakare'a vahe'mo'za Tobiana kza hugahune hu'za kea hu hagerafite'za aza hu'naze. Na'ankure Tobia'a Ara negeho Sikania mofa ara erigeno, Tobia nemofo Jehohanani'a Berekia nemofo Mesulamu mofa eri'negu hu'za anara hu'naze.

For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, since he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.

19 Ana hige'za ana ranra vahetamimo'za Tobia'ma hia knare avu'ava zama'agura eme nenasami'za, nagrama hua nanekenena ome asami'naze. Ana hazageno Tobia'a nazeri koro hunaku nagritega avona kre atrevava hu'ne.

Moreover, these nobles kept reporting to me Tobiah’s good deeds, and they relayed my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
