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 comes to pass, in the month of Nisan, the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, wine [is] before him, and I lift up the wine, and give to the king, and I had not been sad before him;
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 says to me, “Why [is] your face sad, and you not sick? This is nothing except sadness of heart”; and I fear very much,
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 say to the king, “Let the king live for all time! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of the graves of my fathers, [is] a desolation, and its gates have been consumed with fire?”
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu igu yidhi, Hadda maxaad iga baryaysaa? Kolkaasaan Ilaaha samada baryay.
And the king says to me, “For what are you seeking?” And I pray to the God of the heavens,
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 say to the king, “If [it is] good to the king, and if your servant is pleasing before you, that you send me to Judah, to the city of the graves of my fathers, and I have built 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 says to me (and the queen is sitting near him), “How long is your journey? And when do you return?” And it is good before the king, and he sends me away, and I set to 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;
And I say to the king, “If [it is] good to the king, let letters be given to me for the governors beyond the River, that they let me pass over until 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, keeper of the paradise that the king has, that he give to me trees for beams [for] the gates of the palace that the house has, and for the wall of the city, and for the house into which I enter”; and the king gives to me, according to the good hand of my God 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.
And I come to the governors beyond the River, and give to them the letters of the king; and the king sends with me heads of a force, 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 hears, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and it is evil to them—a great evil—that a man has come to seek good for the sons of Israel.
11 Markaasaan Yeruusaalem imid, oo halkaasaan saddex maalmood iska joogay.
And I come to Jerusalem, and I am 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 rise by night, I and a few men with me, and have not declared to a man what my God is giving to my heart to do for Jerusalem, and there is no beast with me except the beast on which I am riding.
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 go out through the Valley Gate by night, and to the front of the Dragon Fountain, and to the Refuse Gate, and I am inspecting the walls of Jerusalem, that are broken down, and its gates consumed with fire.
14 Oo haddana waxaan tegey Iriddii Isha biyaha iyo xaggii Balligii Boqorka; laakiinse neefkii aan fuushanaa meeluu maro ma jirin.
And I pass over to the Fountain Gate, and to the King’s Pool, and there is no place for the beast under me to pass over,
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.
and I am going up through the brook by night, and am inspecting the wall, and turn back, and come in through the Valley Gate, and turn 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 prefects have not known to where I have gone, and what I am doing; and to the Jews, and to the priests, and to the nobles, and to the prefects, and to the rest of those doing the work, until now I have not declared [it];
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.
and I say to them, “You are seeing the evil that we are in, in that Jerusalem [is] desolate, and its gates have been burned with fire; come and we build the wall of Jerusalem, and we are not a reproach anymore.”
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 declare to them the hand of my God that is good on me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, “Let us rise, and we have built”; and they strengthen their hands for good.
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?
And Sanballat the Horonite hears, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, and they mock at us, and despise us, and say, “What [is] this thing that you are doing? Are you rebelling 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.
And I return them word, and say to them, “The God of the heavens—He gives prosperity to us, and we His servants rise and have built; and to you there is no portion, and right, and memorial in Jerusalem.”
