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.

Now it happened that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem, an Arab, and our other enemies, had heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no interruption remaining in it, (even though, at that time, I had not set up the double doors at 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 to me, saying: “Come, and let us strike a pact together in the villages, on the plain of Ono.” But they were thinking that they would do me harm.

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?

Therefore, I sent messengers to them, saying: “I am doing a great work, and I cannot descend, lest perhaps it may be neglected when I go out and descend 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.

Then they sent to me, with this same word, four times. And I responded to them with the same word as before.

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.

And Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time, with the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:

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.

“It has been heard among the Gentiles, and Geshem has said it, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel, and because of this, you are building the wall and thinking to raise yourself as a king over them. For this reason,

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.

you also have stationed prophets, who preach about you in Jerusalem, saying: ‘There is a king in Judea!’ But the king will hear about these words. Therefore, come now, so that we may go to counsel 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.

And I sent to them, saying: “There has been nothing done according to these words, which you have spoken. For you are inventing these things from your own heart.”

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 all these men wished to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would cease. For this reason, I strengthened my hands all the more.

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.

And I entered into the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, in secret. And he said: “Let us consult together in the house of God, in the midst of the temple. And let us close the doors of the temple. For they will come to kill you, and they will arrive in the night to put you to death.”

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.

And I said: “How could anyone like me flee? And who like me should enter the temple, so that he may live? I will not enter.”

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.

And I understood that God had not sent him, but he had spoken to me as if he were prophesying, and that 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.

For he had accepted money, so that I would be afraid, and would sin, and so that they would have some evil with which to rebuke 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.

Remember me, O Lord, because of Tobiah and Sanballat, because of their works of this kind. Then, too, Noadiah, a prophetess, and the rest of the prophets, would have made me afraid.

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.

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

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.

Then it happened that, when all our enemies had heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they were downcast within themselves. For they knew that this work had been accomplished by 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.

But also, in those days, many letters were being sent by the nobles of the Jews to Tobiah, and were arriving from Tobiah 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 there were many in Judea who had sworn an oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah, and because Jehohanan, his son, had married the daughter of Meshullam, the 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, they praised him before me, and they reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters, so that he might make me afraid.
