< नहेम्याह 6 >
1 मैले पर्खाल पुनर्निर्माण गरेर सिद्ध्याएको र टाल्नुपर्ने कुनै भाग नरहेको कुरो कुरो सन्बलत, तोबिया र अरबी गेशेमसाथै हाम्रा बाँकी शत्रुहरूले सुने, यद्यपि मैले मूल ढोकाहरूका खापाहरू भने बनाइसकेको थिइनँ ।
Now when word was given to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our haters, that I had done the building of the wall and that there were no more broken places in it (though even then I had not put up the doors in the doorways);
2 सन्बलत र गेशेमले मलाई यसो भनी खबर पठाए, “आऊ, हामी ओनोको मैदानको कतैतिर भेटघाट गरौँ ।” तर तिनीहरूले मेरो हानि गर्ने मनसाय बनाएका थिए ।
Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.
3 मैले यसो भनी तिनीहरूकहाँ सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएँ, “मैले महान् काम गरिरहेकोले म आउन सक्दिनँ । मैले काम छोडी तिमीहरूकहाँ आएर यो काम किन रोकिने?”
And I sent men to them saying, I am doing a great work, so that it is not possible for me to come down: is the work to be stopped while I go away from it and come down to you?
4 तिनीहरूले मकहाँ उही खबर चार पटक पठाए, र मैले प्रत्येक पटक तिनीहरूलाई उही जवाफ दिएँ ।
And four times they sent to me in this way, and I sent them the same answer.
5 उसै गरी सन्बलतले पाँचौँ पटक पनि मकहाँ तिनको सेवक पठाए, जसको हातमा खोलिएको चिट्ठी थियो ।
Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6 त्यहाँ यस्तो लेखिएको थियो, “जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा यस्तो खबर पुगेको छ र गेशेम पनि त्यही भन्छन्, कि तिमी र यहूदीहरूले विद्रोह गर्ने योजना बनाउँदै छौ । त्यसकारण तिमीहरूले यो पर्खाल पुनर्निर्माण गर्दै छौ । तिमी तिनीहरूका राजा हुनै लागेका छौ भनी यी खबरहरूले बताउँछन् ।
And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;
7 यरूशलेममा तिम्रो बारेमा यो घोषणा गर्न तिमीहरूले अगमवक्ताहरू पनि नियुक्त गरेका छौ, 'यहूदामा राजा हुनुहुन्छ!' राजाले यी खबरहरू सुन्नेछन् भनी तिमी निश्चित हुन सक्छौ । त्यसकारण, आऊ र एक-अर्कासित कुराकानी गरौँ ।”
And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.
8 तब मैले तिनीकहाँ यसो भनी खबर पठाएँ, “तिमीले भनेजस्ता कुनै पनि कुरा भएकै छैन, किनकि तिमीले आफ्नै ह्रदयमा ती रचेका हौ ।”
Then I sent to him, saying, No such things as you say are being done, they are only a fiction you have made up yourself.
9 तिनीहरू सबैले हामीलाई यस्तो सोच्न लगाई भयभीत पार्न चाहन्थे, “काम गर्नदेखि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हात रोक्ने छन्, र यो काम सकिने थिएन ।” तर अब हे परमेश्वर, मेरा हात मजबुत पार्नुहोस् ।
For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.
10 म दलायाहका छोरा, महेतबेलका नाति शमायाहको घरमा गएँ, जो आफ्नै घरमा बन्दी बनाइएका थिए । तिनले भने, “हामी परमेश्वरको मन्दिरभित्र भेटौँ, र मन्दिरका ढोकाहरू बन्द गरौँ किनकि तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंलाई मार्न आउँदै छन् । तपाईंलाई मार्न तिनीहरू रातमा आउँदै छन् ।”
And I went to the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us have a meeting in the house of God, inside the Temple, and let the doors be shut: for they will come to put you to death; truly, in the night they will come to put you to death.
11 मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “के मजस्तो मान्छे भाग्छ र? के मजस्तो मान्छे आफ्नै जीवन बचाउन मन्दिरभित्र जान सक्छ र? म भित्र जाने छैनँ ।”
And I said, Am I the sort of man to go in flight? what man, in my position, would go into the Temple to keep himself safe? I will not go in.
12 परमेश्वरले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएको होइन, तर तिनी आफैले मेरो विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी गरेका थिए भनी मैले महसुस गरेँ । तोबिया र सन्बलतले तिनलाई भाडामा लिएका थिए ।
Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.
13 तिनले भनेझैँ गरेर पाप गर्न र मेरो अपमान हुने गरी मेरो ख्याति बिगार्न तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भाडामा लिई मलाई डराउन चाहन्थे ।
For this reason they had given him money, in order that I might be overcome by fear and do what he said and do wrong, and so they would have reason to say evil about me and put shame on me.
14 हे मेरा परमेश्वर, तोबिया र सन्बलत अनि तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै कामलाई सम्झनुहोस् । साथै, मलाई डराउन खोज्ने अगमवादिनी नोअदिया र अरू बाँकी अगमवक्ताहरूलाई पनि सम्झनुहोस् ।
Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me.
15 यसरी बाउन्न दिनपछि एलूल महिनाको पच्चिसौँ दिनमा पर्खालको काम समाप्त भयो ।
So the wall was complete on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.
16 जब हाम्रा वरिपरि भएका हाम्रा सबै शत्रु र जातिहरूले यो सुने तिनीहरू डराए, तिनीहरू हतोत्साहित भए । किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मदतले यो काम गरिएको थियो भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थियो ।
And when our haters had news of this, all the nations round about us were full of fear and were greatly shamed, for they saw that this work had been done by our God.
17 यस बेला यहूदाका कुलीनहरूले तोबियालाई धेरै चिट्ठीहरू पठाए, र तोबियाका चिट्ठीहरू पनि तिनीहरूकहाँ आए ।
And further, in those days the chiefs of Judah sent a number of letters to Tobiah, and his letters came to them.
18 किनकि यहूदामा कैयौँ मानिसहरू थिए जो तिनीसित शपथद्वारा बाँधिएका थिए किनकि तिनी आराका छोरा शकन्याहका जुवाइँ थिए । तिनका छोरा येहोहानानले बेरेक्याहका छोरा मशुल्लामकी छोरीसित विवाह गरेका थिए ।
For in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.
19 तिनीहरूले तिनका असल कार्यहरू पनि मलाई बताए, र मेरा कामहरू तिनलाई बताइदिए ।
And they said much before me of the good he had done, and gave him accounts of my words. And Tobiah sent letters with the purpose of causing me fear.
