Nexemyaah 4

1 Laakiinse markii Sanballad maqlay inaannu derbigii dhisaynay ayuu cadhooday, oo aad u dhirfay, oo Yuhuuddiina wuu ku majaajilooday.

But it happened that when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.

2 Markaasuu ka hor hadlay walaalihiis iyo ciidankii Samaariya, oo wuxuu yidhi, War Yuhuuddan itaalka daranu waxay samaynayaan waa maxay? Iyaga ma la daynayaa? Oo miyey allabaryayaan? Oo ma maalin bay hawshaas ku dhammaynayaan? Oo dhagxantii miyey ka soo noolaynayaan tuulmooyinkii waxyaalaha baabba'ay oo gubtay?

And he spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, which are burned?"

3 Oo haddana Toobiyaah oo ahaa reer Cammoon oo agtiisa taagnaa wuxuu yidhi, Waxa ay dhisayaan oo dhan xataa haddii dawaco fuusho way kala burburinaysaa derbigooda dhagaxa ah.

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, "What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall."

4 Ilaahayagow, bal maqal, waayo, waa nala quudhsadaye; caydooda dib ugu celi madaxooda, oo iyaga u gacangeli dal dhaca oo maxaabiis ahaan u kaxaysta.

"Hear, our God; for we are despised; and turn back their insults on their own head, give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;

5 Oo xumaantoodana ha dedin, oo dembigoodana yaan hortaada laga tirtirin, waayo, kuwii wax dhisayay hortooda ayay kaaga xanaajiyeen.

do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders."

6 Haddaba derbigii waannu dhisnay; oo derbigii oo dhan waa lays qabadsiiyey ilaa qotonkiisii badhkiis la gaadhsiiyey, waayo dadku waxay maanka ku hayeen inay shaqeeyaan.

So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height: for the people had a mind to work.

7 Laakiinse markii Sanballad, iyo Toobiyaah, iyo kuwii Carbeed, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Ashdood ay maqleen in derbiyadii Yeruusaalem cusboonaysiintoodii ay hore u socotay iyo in la bilaabay in daldaloolladii la fureeyo ayay aad u cadhoodeen.

But it happened that when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, then they were very angry;

8 Markaasay dhammaantood shirqool ku wada arrinsadeen inay soo kacaan oo Yeruusaalem la diriraan, iyo inay dhexdeeda qas ka ridaan.

and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion in it.

9 Laakiinse waxaannu barinnay Ilaahayo, oo iyaga aawadood ayaannu yeelnay waardiyayaal naga ilaaliya habeen iyo maalinba.

But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

10 Markaasaa dadkii dalka Yahuudah waxay yidhaahdeen, Kuwa culaysyada qaada xooggoodii waa yaraaday, oo waxaa jira waxyaalo dundumay oo badan, sidaa daraaddeed derbiga ma dhisi karno.

Judah said, "The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall."

11 Oo cadaawayaashayadiina waxay yidhaahdeen, Iyagu ma ay ogaan doonaan, mana ay arki doonaan jeeraan dhex tagno oo aan iyaga layno, oo shuqulkana aan joojinno.

Our adversaries said, "They shall not know, neither see, until we come into their midst, and kill them, and cause the work to cease."

12 Oo markii Yuhuuddii iyaga ag degganayd ay yimaadeen, waxay toban jeer nagu yidhaahdeen, Idinku waa inaad meel walba nooga soo noqotaan.

It happened that when the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."

13 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed meeshii ugu hoosaysay oo derbiga ka dambaysay oo meelaha bannaan ku yiil ayaan taagay dadkii qoloqolo u safan oo wada haysta seefahoodii, iyo warmahoodii, iyo qaansooyinkoodiiba.

Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

14 Oo intaan wax fiiriyey ayaan kacay oo waxaan ku idhi kuwii gobta ahaa, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo dadka intiisii kaleba, Iyaga ha ka cabsanina, ee waxaad xusuusataan Sayidka weyn oo laga cabsado, oo waxaad u dirirtaan walaalihiin, iyo wiilashiinna, iyo gabdhihiinna, iyo naagihiinna, iyo guryihiinnaba.

I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses."

15 Haddaba markii cadaawayaashayadii ay maqleen inaannu taas ogaannay, oo uu Ilaah taladoodii kala riday, ayaannu kulligayo ku noqonnay derbigii oo mid waluba wuxuu qabtay shuqulkiisii.

It happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, that we returned all of us to the wall, everyone to his work.

16 Oo intii markaas ka dambaysay midiidinnadaydii badhkood shuqulkii bay sameeyeen, oo badhkoodii kalena waxay hayeen warmihii, iyo gaashaammadii, iyo qaansooyinkii, iyo jubbado bir ah, oo taliyayaashii oo dhammuna way daba taagnaayeen dadkii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan.

It happened from that time forth that half of my servants would do the work and half of them held the spears, and the shields, and the bows, and the body armor; and the rulers stood behind the whole house of Judah

17 Oo kuwii derbiga dhisayay iyo kuwii wax culus isa saarayba mid waluba gacmihiisa middood wuxuu ku sameeyey shuqulkii, midda kale wuxuu ku haystay hubkiisii dagaalka.

who were building the wall. And those who carried loads held their load with one hand and with the other held a weapon;

18 Oo kuwii wax dhisayayna mid walba seeftiisu dhinaca ayay ugu xidhnayd, oo sidaasayna wax u dhisayeen. Oo kii buunka yeedhin jirayna aniguu i ag joogay.

and the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.

19 Oo waxaan ku idhi kuwii gobta ahaa, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo dadka intiisii kaleba, Shuqulku waa weyn yahay, wuuna ballaadhan yahay, annana derbiga dushiisa waannu ku kala firidhsan nahay, oo midba midka kale wuu ka fog yahay.

I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, "The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another.

20 Meel alla meeshii aad ka maqashaan dhawaaqa buunka, halkaas noogu soo urura; waxaa inoo diriri doona Ilaaheenna.

Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally there to us. Our God will fight for us."

21 Sidaasaannu shuqulkii u qabannay; oo dadka badhkiisna waxay warmaha haysteen markii waagu beryay iyo tan iyo jeeray xiddiguhu muuqdeen.

So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

22 Oo sidaas oo kale isla markaas waxaan dadkii ku idhi, Mid kasta iyo midiidinkiisu ha ku soo hoydeen Yeruusaalem, si ay habeenkii waardiyayaal noogu noqdaan, maalintiina ay u hawshoodaan.

Likewise at the same time said I to the people, "Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day."

23 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed aniga iyo walaalahay, iyo midiidinnadaydii, iyo raggii waardiyaha ahaa oo i daba socday toona midkayana dharkiisii iskama furin, oo mid kastaaba isagoo hubkiisii u xidhan yahay ayaa biyaha xaggooda tegey.

So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.
