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 to pass 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 unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
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 unto me: 'Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart.' Then I was very sore afraid.
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 I said unto the king: 'Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?'
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu igu yidhi, Hadda maxaad iga baryaysaa? Kolkaasaan Ilaaha samada baryay.
Then the king said unto me: 'For what dost thou make request?' So I prayed 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 unto the king: 'If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build 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 unto me, the queen also sitting by him: 'For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return?' So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a 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;
Moreover I said unto the king: 'If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through till I come unto 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 unto Asaph the keeper of the king's park, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the castle which appertaineth to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into.' And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon 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 governors beyond 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 when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, for that there was come a man to seek the welfare 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 I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
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 by the valley gate, even toward the dragon's well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed 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 fountain gate and to the king's pool; but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
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 went I up in the night in the valley, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.
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 rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did 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 said I unto them: 'Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire; come and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.'
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.
And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also of the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said: 'Let us rise up and build.' So they strengthened their hands 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 when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said: 'What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel 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 answered I them, and said unto them: 'The God of heaven, He will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build; but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.'
