Nexemyaah 2
1 Bishii Niisaan oo ahayd sannaddii labaatanaad oo boqor Artaxshasta, iyadoo khamri hor yaal isaga ayaan khamrigii qaaday oo boqorkii siiyey. Hadda ka hor anigu boqorka hortiisa caloolxumo kuma joogi jirin.
And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never before been sad when the king was present.
2 Oo boqorkii wuxuu igu yidhi, War maxaa wejigaagu u murugaysan yahay adigoo aan bukayn? Tanu wax kale ma aha waase tiiraanyo qalbiga ku jirta. Markaasaan aad u baqay,
And the king said to me, Why is your face sad, seeing that you are not ill? this is nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was full of fear;
3 oo waxaan boqorkii ku idhi, Boqorow, weligaaba noolow. Bal maxaa wejigaygu la murugaysnaan waayay, iyadoo magaalada ah meeshii awowayaashay xabaalahoodu ahaayeen ay baabba' tahay, oo irdaheediina dab lagu gubay?
And said to the king, May the king be living for ever: is it not natural for my face to be sad, when the town, the place where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, has been made waste and its doorways burned with fire?
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu igu yidhi, Hadda maxaad iga baryaysaa? Kolkaasaan Ilaaha samada baryay.
Then the king said to me, What is your desire? So I made prayer to the God of heaven.
5 Oo waxaan boqorkii ku idhi, Boqorow, hadday ku farxiso, oo haddaad raalli iga tahay anoo addoonkaaga ah, waxaan doonayaa inaad ii dirtid dalka Yahuudah oo ay ku taal magaalada awowayaashay xabaalahoodu yihiin, inaan dhiso.
And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.
6 Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu igu yidhi, (iyadoo boqoraddiina agtiisa fadhido) Sodcaalkaagu tan iyo goormuu ahaanayaa? Goormaadse soo noqonaysaa? Markaasuu boqorku ku farxay inuu i diro; oo waxaan u qabtay wakhti.
And the king said to me (the queen being seated by his side), How long will your journey take, and when will you come back? So the king was pleased to send me, and I gave him a fixed time.
7 Oo weliba waxaan boqorkii ku idhi, Boqorow, haddaad raalli ka tahay, ha lay siiyo warqado aan u geeyo taliyayaasha webiga ka shisheeya, si ay igu oggolaadaan inaan dhex maro dalkooda ilaa aan gaadho dalka Yahuudah;
Further, I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, let letters be given to me for the rulers across the river, so that they may let me go through till I come to Judah;
8 iyo warqad kaloo aan siiyo Aasaaf oo ah kan dhawra dhirta boqorka, si uu ii siiyo alwaax aan ku sameeyo waxa haya saqafka irdaha qalcadda ee guriga u dhow, iyo derbiga magaalada iyo guriga aan geli doono. Oo boqorkiina wuu ii wada oggolaaday sidii ay gacantii wanaagsanayd ee Ilaahay ii saarnayd.
And a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's park, so that he may give me wood to make boards for the doors of the tower of the house, and for the wall of the town, and for the house which is to be mine. And the king gave me this, for the hand of my God was on me.
9 Markaasaan u imid taliyayaashii webiga ka shisheeyey, oo iyagii siiyey warqadihii boqorka. Oo weliba waxaa boqorku igu daray saraakiil ciidanka ka tirsan iyo fardooley.
Then I came to the rulers of the lands across the river and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.
10 Oo Sanballad oo ahaa reer Xoron, iyo addoonkii ahaa Toobiyaah oo ahaa reer Cammoon markay maqleen inuu yimid nin doonaya wanaagga reer binu Israa'iil ayay aad iyo aad u murugoodeen.
And Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, hearing of it, were greatly troubled because a man had come to the help of the children of Israel.
11 Markaasaan Yeruusaalem imid, oo halkaasaan saddex maalmood iska joogay.
So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.
12 Oo habeennimadii ayaan kacay, anigoo ay dhawr nin ila socdaan, oo ninna uma aan sheegin waxa Ilaahay qalbigayga geliyey inaan Yeruusaalem u sameeyo. Oo neefna ilama jirin neefkii aan fuushanaa mooyaane.
And in the night I got up, taking with me a small band of men; I said nothing to any man of what God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem: and I had no beast with me but the one on which I was seated.
13 Oo habeennimo ayaan ka baxay Iriddii Dooxada, oo ku tiil xagga Ceelkii Maska, oo waxaan maray xagga Iriddii Digada, waanan fiiriyey derbiyadii Yeruusaalem oo wada dunsanaa, iyo irdaheedii dabka lagu gubay.
And I went out by night, through the doorway of the valley, and past the dragon's water-spring as far as the place where waste material was put, viewing the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down, and the doorways which had been burned with fire.
14 Oo haddana waxaan tegey Iriddii Isha biyaha iyo xaggii Balligii Boqorka; laakiinse neefkii aan fuushanaa meeluu maro ma jirin.
Then I went on to the door of the fountain and to the king's pool: but there was no room for my beast to get through.
15 Oo haddana waxaan habeennimo tegey xaggii durdurka, oo derbigii baan fiiriyey, kolkaasaan dib u noqday, oo magaaladii ka soo galay xaggii Iriddii Dooxada, oo saasaan u soo noqday.
Then in the night, I went up by the stream, viewing the wall; then turning back, I went in by the door in the valley, and so came back.
16 Oo taliyayaashiina ma ay ogayn meel aan tegey iyo wixii aan sameeyey toona; oo weli waxba uma aan sheegin Yuhuuddii, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo kuwii gobta ahaa, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo intii kaloo shuqulka samaysay toona.
And the chiefs had no knowledge of where I had been or what I was doing; and I had not then said anything to the Jews or to the priests or the great ones or the chiefs or the rest of those who were doing the work.
17 Markaasaan ku idhi, War waad aragtaan xaalka xun oo aan ku jirno, iyo sida Yeruusaalem u baabba'day, iyo in irdaheedii dab lagu gubay. Haddaba kaalaya oo aan dhisno derbiga Yeruusaalem, si aynaan mar dambe u sii ceebaysnaan.
Then I said to them, You see what a bad condition we are in; how Jerusalem is a waste, and its doorways burned with fire: come, let us get to work, building up the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be put to shame.
18 Oo waxaan iyagii wax uga sheegay gacantii Ilaahay oo korkayga ku wanaagsanayd, iyo weliba erayadii uu boqorku igula hadlay. Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Ina kiciya aan dhisnee. Sidaasay gacmahoodii shuqulkii wanaagsanaa ugu xoogeeyeen.
Then I gave them an account of how the hand of my God was on me, helping me; and of the king's words which he had said to me. And they said, Let us get to work on the building. So they made their hands strong for the good work.
19 Laakiinse Sanballad oo ahaa reer Xoron, iyo addoonkii ahaa Toobiyaah oo ahaa reer Cammoon, iyo Geshem oo ahaa Carab, markay taas maqleen ayay nagu qosleen, oo na quudhsadeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, War waxaad samaynaysaan waa maxay? Ma boqorkaad ku caasiyoobaysaan?
But Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, hearing of it, made sport of us, laughing at us and saying, What are you doing? will you go against the king?
20 Markaasaan jawaabay oo ku idhi, Ilaaha samadu wuu na liibaanin doonnaa, oo sidaas daraaddeed annagoo addoommadiisa ah waannu kici doonnaa, wax baannuna dhisi doonnaa, laakiinse idinku Yeruusaalem kuma lihidin qayb, ama xaq, amase xusuus toona.
Then answering them I said, The God of heaven, he will be our help; so we his servants will go on with our building: but you have no part or right or any name in Jerusalem.
