Nehemia 6
1 Ary rehefa ren’ i Sanbala sy Tobia sy Gasema Arabo mbamin’ ny namany fahavalonay fa efa nanao ny manda aho, ka tsy nisy banga intsony teo (kanefa tamin’ izany andro izany tsy mbola voalatsako ny lela-vavahady),
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Sanipalate, mo Topaia, mo Kesemi ko e ʻAlepea, mo hono toe ʻo homau fili, kuo u langaʻi ʻae ʻā maka; pea naʻe ʻikai ha ava ʻoku toe; (ka ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe teʻeki ai te u fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi matapā laupapa ki he ngaahi hūʻanga): naʻe hoko ai ʻo pehē:
2 dia naniraka ho any amiko Sanbala sy Gasema ka nanao hoe: Avia isika hihaona ao amin’ izay vohitra anankiray amin’ ny tany lemak’ i Ono. Kanjo nikasa hanisy ratsy ahy izy roa lahy.
Naʻe fekau ʻe Sanipalate mo Kesemi kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu, ketau fakataha ʻi he potu kakai ʻe taha ʻi he toafa ʻo Ono.” Ka naʻa nau fifili ke fai ha kovi kiate au.
3 Dia naniraka olona hankany aminy kosa aho hanao hoe: Asa lehibe no ataoko, ka tsy afa-midìna aho; nahoana no hilaozako midìna any aminareo ny asa ka hatsahatra?
Pea ne u fekau ʻae kau talafekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou fai ʻae ngāue ʻoku lahi, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu hifo: koeʻumaʻā ʻa ʻeku tuku ʻae ngāue, ʻi he liʻaki ia, pea ʻalu hifo ai kiate kimoutolu?”
4 Kanefa mbola naniraka tamiko inefatra araka izany ihany izy; ary izaho kosa dia mbola namaly azy toy izany ihany koa.
Ka naʻa nau fekau pehē kiate au, ʻo liunga fā; pea ne u talia ʻakinautolu ʻi he anga pe taha:
5 Dia nirahin’ i Sanbala fanindiminy ny zatovony hankeo amiko araka izany ihany, nitondra taratasy nivelatra teny an-tànany,
Pea naʻe toki fekau pehē ai pe ʻe Sanipalate ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki kiate au ko hono liunga nima mo e tohi mafola pe ʻi hono nima;
6 izay nisy soratra hoe: Efa mahoraka any amin’ ny firenena maro izao teny izao, sady lazain’ i Gasema hoe: Hianao sy ny Jiosy dia mikasa hikomy, ka izany no anaovanao ny manda, ary araka izany teny izany dia mikasa ho mpanjakany, hono, ianao,
ʻAia naʻe tuʻu ai ʻae lea ni, “Kuo fakaongo ki he hiteni, pea kuo tala ia ʻe Kasimu, ʻo pehē ko koe mo e kakai Siu ʻoku mou tokanga ke angatuʻu: ko ia ʻoku ke langa ai ʻae ʻā maka, koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ai ko honau tuʻi, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi lea ni.
7 sady efa nanendry ny mpaminany maro hilaza anao any Jerosalema hoe Mpanjaka any Joda; ary ankehitriny dia ho ren’ ny mpanjaka izany teny izany; koa avia isika hiara-mihevitra.
Pea kuo ke fakanofo ʻae kau palōfita, ke nau malangaʻaki koe ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku ai ʻae tuʻi ʻi Siuta: pea ko eni ʻe fakaongo atu ia ki he tuʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi lea ni. Ko ia ke ke haʻu, pea ke tau alea ʻo fakakaukau fakataha.’”
8 Dia naniraka ho any aminy aho hanao hoe: Tsy marina izany zavatra lazainao izany, fa tao am-ponao ihany no namoronanao izany.
Pea ne u fekau kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai fai ha meʻa hangē ko ia ʻoku ke lau ki ai, ka ʻoku ke fakatupu ia ʻi ho loto ʻoʻou.”
9 Fa ta-hampahatahotra anay izy rehetra, ka hoy izy: Ho kivy amin’ ny asa izy ka tsy hahatontosa. Koa ankehitriny ampaherezo e ny tanako!
He naʻa nau fai kotoa pē ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE vaivai ai honau nima mei he ngāue, ke ʻoua naʻa fai ia.” Pea ko eni, [ʻE ʻOtua], ke ke fakamālohi hoku nima.
10 Ary izaho dia tonga tao an-tranon’ i Semaia, zanak’ i Delaia, zanak’ i Mehetabela, izay nihidy trano tao; dia hoy izy: Andeha isika hiditra ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra ao anatin’ ny tempoly, ary aoka harindrintsika ny varavarana, fa ho avy hamono anao izy, eny, ho avy alina hamono anao izy.
Hili ia naʻaku ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Simaia ko e foha ʻo Telaia ko e foha ʻe Mihetapeli, ʻaia naʻe nofo fale pe: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Keta fakataha ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he loto faletapu, pea ke tā tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe faletapu: he tenau haʻu ke tāmateʻi koe, ʻio, tenau haʻu ʻi he poʻuli ke tāmateʻi koe.”
11 Fa hoy izaho: Moa ny lehilahy tahaka ahy tokony handositra va? Ary iza no olona tahaka ahy no mahazo miditra ao amin’ ny tempoly ka ho velona? Tsy hiditra ao aho.
Pea ne u pehē, “He ʻoku lelei ke hola ʻae tangata hangē ko au? Pea ko hai ia, ʻaia kuo hoko ʻo hangē ko au, pea ʻe ʻalu ia ki he faletapu ke hao ai ʻene moʻui? ʻE ʻikai te u ʻalu.”
12 Ary hitako fa, indro, tsy Andriamanitra no naniraka azy, fa nilaza izany faminaniana izany hamitahany ahy izy, satria notambazan’ i Tobia sy Sanbala.
Pea ʻiloange, naʻaku vakai, naʻe ʻikai fekau ia ʻe he ʻOtua: ka naʻa ne fakahā ʻae kikite ni kiate au; koeʻuhi naʻe totongi ia ʻe Topaia mo Sanipalate.
13 Izany no nanambazany azy, mba hampitahotra ahy hanaovako izany ka hanotako, dia hahazoany teny tatsy hanaratsiany ahy.
Ko e meʻa ia naʻe totongi ai ia, koeʻuhi ke u hoko ʻo manavahē, pea fai pehē, ʻo fai angahala, pea kenau maʻu ai ʻae meʻa ke fakaongo kovi ʻaki, pea koeʻuhi kenau fakakovi ai au.
14 Ry Andriamanitro ô, tsarovy Tobia sy Sanbala araka izany asany izany mbamin’ i Noadia mpaminanivavy sy ny mpaminany sasany koa, izay nampitahotra ahy.
“ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke manatuʻi ʻe koe ʻa Topaia mo Sanipalate ʻo fakatatau ki heʻena ngāue ko eni, pea ki he fefine palōfita ko Noatia, pea mo hono toe ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻaia naʻa nau loto ke fakamanavahēʻi au.”
15 Dia vita tamin’ ny roa amby dimam-poloandro ny manda, dia tamin’ ny andro faha-dimy amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana Elola.
Pea pehē, naʻe fakaʻosi ʻae ʻā maka ʻi hono uofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko Iluli, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe nimangofulu ma ua
16 Ary rehefa ren’ ny fahavalonay rehetra izany, dia raiki-tahotra ny firenena rehetra manodidina anay, sady hitany fa tsinontsinona izy; ary fantany fa Andriamanitray no nahavitàna izany asa izany.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻe homau fili kotoa pē, pea mamata ʻe he hiteni kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻo takatakai ʻiate kimautolu ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa nau loto vaivai lahi ʻi honau mata: he naʻa nau mamata kuo fai ʻae ngāue ni ʻi homau ʻOtua.
17 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany ny manan-kaja amin’ ny Joda dia nampitondra taratasy maro ho any amin’ i Tobia, ary ny avy tamin’ i Tobia kosa tonga tany aminy.
Pea ko eni foki, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻave ʻe he houʻeiki ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi tohi kia Topaia, pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻa Topaia kiate kinautolu.
18 Fa nisy maro tany Joda efa nianiana niray tetika taminy, satria vinanton’ i Sekania, zanak’ i Ara, izy; ary Johanana zananilahy efa nanambady ny zanakavavin’ i Mesolama, zanak’ i Berekia.
He naʻe ai ʻae tokolahi ʻi Siuta naʻe fuakava kiate ia, he ko e foha ia ʻi he fono kia Sikania ko e foha ʻo ʻAla; pea kuo toʻo ʻe hono foha ko Sohanani ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Mesulami ko e foha ʻo Pelekia.
19 Ary nisy koa teo anatrehako nilaza ny soa nataony ary nilaza ny teniko tany aminy kosa. Ary Tobia kosa nampitondra taratasy hampitahotra ahy.
Pea naʻa nau fakaongo mai kiate au ʻene ngaahi ngāue lelei foki, pea naʻe fakaongo ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate ia. Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Topaia ʻae ngaahi tohi ke fakamanavahēʻi ai au.
