Nexemyaah 6
1 Haddaba markii Sanballad iyo Toobiyaah iyo Geshem kii Carabka ahaa, iyo cadaawayaashayadii kale loo sheegay inaan derbigii dhisay iyo inaan innaba daldalool lagu arag (in kastoo wakhtigaas aanan weli qotomin albaabbadii irdaha),
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 ayay Sanballad iyo Geshem ii soo cid direen oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Kaalay oo aan ku wada kulanno tuulooyinka bannaanka Oonoo ku yaal middood. Laakiinse waxay ku fikireen inay belaayo igu sameeyaan.
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 Oo waxaan u diray wargeeyayaal, oo ku idhi, Waxaan samaynayaa shuqul weyn oo sidaas daraaddeed ma iman karo. Bal maxaa shuqulku u joogsanayaa markaan ka tago oo aan idiin imaado?
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 Oo fartiin caynkaas ah ayay afar jeer ii soo direen; oo anna isla sidii baan ugu jawaabay.
And four times they sent to me in this way, and I sent them the same answer.
5 Oo haddana isla sidaas oo kale Sanballad wuxuu markii shanaad ii soo diray midiidinkiisii oo gacanta ku sida warqad furan.
Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6 Oo waxaa ku qornaa, Waxaa quruumaha dhexdooda laga sheegay, Gashmuuna uu leeyahay, in adiga iyo Yuhuudduba aad ku talo jirtaan inaad fallaagowdaan, oo waa taas daraaddeed waxaad derbiga u dhisaysaa, oo sida waafaqsan erayadan la soo sheegay waxaad doonaysaa inaad boqor u ahaatid.
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 Oo weliba waxaad dooratay nebiyo si ay wax kugu saabsan dadka Yeruusaalem ugu wacdiyaan, iyagoo leh, Dalka Yahuudah waxaa jooga boqor. Haddaba erayadan waxaa loo sheegi doonaa boqorka. Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed kaalay, oo aan tashannee.
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 Markaasaan u cid diray oo ku idhi, Waxaad leedahay oo kale halkan innaba laguma samayn, laakiinse adigaa qalbigaaga ka soo hindisay.
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 Waayo, dhammaantood waxay doonayeen inay na cabsiiyaan, oo waxay isyidhaahdeen, Shuqulkay ka daali doonaan, mana dhammayn doonaan. Laakiinse, Ilaahow, xoog ii yeel.
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 Markaasaan tegey gurigii Shemacyaah ina Delaayaah oo ahaa ina Meheetabeel oo xidhnaa; oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Guriga Rabbiga oo ah macbudka dhexdiisa aan ku kulanno, oo aan xidhanno albaabbada macbudka, waayo, iyagu waxay u iman doonaan inay ku dilaan. Haah, oo habeennimada ayay u soo iman doonaan inay ku dilaan.
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 Aniguse waxaan ku idhi, Nin anigoo kale ahu miyuu cararaa? Bal waase kee, kan aniga ila mid ah oo macbudka u geli lahaa inuu naftiisa ku badbaadiyo? Geli maayo.
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 Markaasaan gartay inaan Ilaah isaga soo dirin, laakiinse hadal iga gees ah ayuu ugu hadlay sidii nebi oo kale, waayo, waxaa soo kiraystay Toobiyaah iyo Sanballad.
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 Oo taas aawadeed baa isaga loo soo kiraystay inaan cabsado oo saas yeelo oo aan dembaabo, iyo inay iyagu sabab u helaan war xun si ay iigu ceebeeyaan.
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 Haddaba Ilaahayow, sida shuqulladoodu yihiin u xusuuso Toobiyaah iyo Sanballad iyo weliba nebiyaddii Noocadyaah iyo nebiyadii kale oo damcay inay i cabsigeliyaan.
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 Oo sidaasaa derbigii laba iyo konton maalmood loogu dhammeeyey bishii Eluul maalinteedii shan iyo labaatanaad.
So the wall was complete on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.
16 Oo markii cadaawayaashayadii oo dhammu ay taas maqleen ayay kulli quruumihii hareerahayaga ku wareegsanaa oo dhammu wada cabsadeen, oo aad bay u ceeboobeen, waayo, waxay garteen in shuqulkan laga sameeyey Ilaahayaga xaggiisa.
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 Oo weliba waagaas kuwii gobta ahaa oo dalka Yahuudah warqado badan bay u direen Toobiyaah, oo iyagana waxaa u yimid warqadihii Toobiyaah.
And further, in those days the chiefs of Judah sent a number of letters to Tobiah, and his letters came to them.
18 Waayo, dalka Yahuudah waxaa joogay kuwo badan oo isaga u dhaartay, maxaa yeelay, isaga waxaa soddog u ahaa Shekaanyaah ina Aarax; oo wiilkiisii Yehooxaanaanna wuxuu guursaday Meshullaam ina Berekyaah gabadhiisii.
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 Oo weliba waxay hortayda kaga hadleen falimihiisii wanaagsanaa, oo hadalkaygana isagay u sheegeen. Toobiyaahna warqaduu iigu soo diray inuu i cabsiiyo.
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.
