Nehemia 6
1 Bere a Sanbalat, Tobia, Arabni Gesem ne yɛn atamfo nkae no huu sɛ masiesie ɔfasu no awie a ɔkwan biara nneda ntam; nanso saa bere no na minsisii apon no,
Forsothe it was doon, whanne Sanaballath hadde herd, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie, and oure other enemyes, that Y hadde bildide the wal, and nomore brekyng was therynne; sotheli `til to that tyme Y hadde not set leeuys of schittyng in the yatis;
2 Sanbalat ne Gesem de nkra brɛɛ me se, minhyia wɔn wɔ nkuraa no baako a ɛwɔ Ono tataw so hɔ. Nanso mihuu sɛ wɔrepam me ti so,
Sanaballath, and Tobie, and Gosem of Arabie senten to me, and seiden, Come thou, and smyte we boond of pees in calues, `in o feeld; forsothe thei thouyten for to do yuel to me.
3 enti memaa wɔn mmuae se, “Mereyɛ adwuma kɛse bi a merentumi nnyae mmehyia mo.”
Therfor Y sente messangeris to hem, and Y seide, Y make a greet werk, and Y mai not go doun, lest perauenture it be doon retchelesli, whanne Y come, and go doun to you.
4 Wɔmaa me saa nkra no mpɛn anan. Ne nyinaa mu no, memaa mmuae koro no ara.
Sotheli thei senten to me `bi this word bi foure tymes, and Y answeride to hem by the formere word.
5 Ne mpɛn anum so no, Sanbalat somfo bae no na okura krataa a wɔakyerɛw.
And Sanaballath sente to me the fyuethe tyme bi the formere word his child; and he hadde in his hond a pistle writun in this maner;
6 Na krataa no mu nsɛm ni: “Gesem aka akyerɛ me se, baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ no, ɔte sɛ wo ne Yudafo no repam atew atua; ɛno nti na woresiesie ɔfasu no. Nea ɛka ho ne sɛ, wopɛ sɛ wubedi wɔn so hene,
It is herd among hethene men, and Gosem seide, that thou and the Jewis thenken for to rebelle, and therfor ye bilden, and thou wolt `reise thee king on hem;
7 na mpo, woayi adiyifo bi sɛ wɔnhyɛ wo ho nkɔm wɔ Yerusalem se, ‘Monhwɛ! Ɔhene bi wɔ Yuda!’ Ɛsɛ sɛ wugye to mu sɛ, saa asɛm yi beduu ɔhene aso mu, enti ɛsɛ sɛ woba, na wo ne me bɛka ho asɛm.”
for which cause also thou hast set profetis, that prechen of thee in Jerusalem, and seien, A king is in Jerusalem; the king schal here these wordis; therfor come thou now, that we take counsel togidere.
8 Mibuae se, “Wunim sɛ woretwa atoro. Asɛm a woreka no, nokware baako koraa nni mu.”
And Y sente to hem, and seide, It is not doon bi these wordis whiche thou spekist; for of thin herte thou makist these thingis.
9 Huna na na wɔpɛ sɛ wohunahuna yɛn. Na wususuw sɛ wobetumi abu yɛn aba mu na yegyae adwuma no yɛ. Ɛno nti, mebɔɔ mpae sɛ menya ahoɔden de atoa dwumadi no so.
Alle these men maden vs aferd, and thouyten that oure hondis schulden ceesse fro werkis, that we schulden reste; for which cause Y coumfortide more myn hond.
10 Akyiri no, mekɔsraa Delaia babarima a ɔyɛ Mehetabel nena Semaia a ɔhyɛ ne fi na ɔnkɔ baabiara no. Ɔkae se, “Ma yenhyia wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na yɛmmram apon no akyi. Wʼatamfo reba abekum wo anadwo yi.”
And Y entride priueli in to the hows of Samaie, sone of Dalie, the sone of Methabehel, which seide, Trete we with vs silf in the hows of God, in the myddis of the temple, and close we the yatis of the hows; for thei schulen come to sle thee, `and thei schulen come `bi niyt to sle thee.
11 Na mibuae se, “Enti ɛsɛ sɛ obi a ɔte sɛ me guan amanehunu ana? Enti ɛsɛ sɛ obi a ɔte sɛ me bɛkɔ akohintaw Asɔredan mu de apere me nkwa ana? Dabi, merenyɛ saa!”
And Y seide, Whether ony man lijk me fledde, and who as Y schal entre in to the temple, and schal lyue?
12 Mihuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkasa nkyerɛɛ no, na ne nkɔm a ɔhyɛe no tia me, efisɛ Tobia ne Sanbalat abɔ no paa.
Y schal not entre. And Y vndurstood that God `hadde not sent hym, but `he spak as profesiynge to me; and Tobie and Sanaballath `hadden hirid hym for meede.
13 Na wosusuw sɛ wobehunahuna me, na mafa nʼadwenkyerɛ no so ayɛ bɔne, na wɔnam so abɔ me sobo, asɛe me din.
For he hadde take prijs, that Y schulde be aferd, and do, and that Y schulde do synne; and thei schulden haue yuel, which thei schulden putte to me with schenschip.
14 Me Nyankopɔn, kae bɔne a Tobia ne Sanbalat ayɛ no nyinaa. Na kae odiyifobea Noadia ne adiyifo a wɔte sɛ ɔno a wɔpɛe sɛ wohunahuna me no.
Lord, haue mynde of me, for Tobye and Sanaballath, bi siche werkis `of hem; but also of Noadie, the profete, and of othere profetis, that maden me aferd.
15 Enti Elul ɔsram (bɛyɛ Ɔsannaa) da a ɛto so abien no, wowiee ɔfasu no asiesie, nnafua aduonum abien a wofii dwumadi no ase no mu.
Forsothe the wal was fillid in the fyue and twentithe dai of the monethe Ebul, in two and fifti daies.
16 Bere a yɛn atamfo ne aman a wɔatwa yɛn ho ahyia tee no, wosuroe, na ɛma wɔbotowee. Wohuu sɛ Onyankopɔn mmoa na wɔde ayɛ adwuma no.
Sotheli it was doon, whanne alle oure enemyes hadden herd, that alle hethene men dredden, that weren in oure cumpas, and thei felden doun with ynne hem silf, and wiste, that this work was maad of God.
17 Saa nnafua aduonum abien no mu no, nkrataa bebree dii akɔneaba wɔ Tobia ne Yuda adwumayɛfo no ntam.
But also in tho daies many pistlis of the principal men of Jewis weren sent to Tobie, and camen fro Tobie to hem.
18 Efisɛ na Yudafo bebree aka ntam sɛ, wɔbɛsom no. Afei, na Tobia ase ne Arah babarima Sekania. Na Sekania babarima Yehohanan nso aware Berekia babarima Mesulam babea.
For many men weren in Judee, and hadden his ooth; for he hadde weddid the douyter of Sechenye, the sone of Rotel; and Johannam, his sone, hadde take the douyter of Mosallam, sone of Barachie.
19 Wɔkɔɔ so kaa sɛnea Tobia ho yɛ nwonwa fa no kyerɛɛ me, na wɔkaa biribiara a mekae nso kyerɛɛ no. Na Tobia de ahunahuna nkrataa bebree brɛɛ me.
But also thei preisiden hym bifor me, and telden my wordis to hym; and Tobie sente lettris, for to make me aferd.
