Nehemia 6
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1A LOHE iho la o Sanebalata, a A me Tobia, a me Gesema no Arabia, a me ke koena o ko makou poe enemi, ua uhau iho la au i ka pa, aole hoi i koe kauwahi ona i wawahiia'i, (aole nae au i kukulu iluna ia manawa i na pani ma na puka;)
1Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)
2Alaila, hoouna mai la o Sanebalata a me Gesema io'u nei, i mai la, Ea, e halawai pu kakou ma na kulanakauhale o ka papu o Ono. Aka, manao iho la laua e hana ino mai ia'u.
2That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
3A hoouna aku la au io lakou la i mau elele, e olelo aku, He hana nui ka'u e hana nei aole e hiki ia'u ke iho aku: no ke aha la e oki ai ka hana, i ko'u waiho ana ia, a iho aku io oukou la?
3And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
4Eha ka lakou hoouna ana mai ia'u e like me keia olelo ana; a pane aku la no hoi au ia lakou e like no me keia olelo ana.
4Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
5Alaila hoouna mai la o Sanehalata ia'u i kana kauwa me ka palapala i hoholaia ma kona lima, e like no me kela hana ana, a o ka lima hoi ia;
5Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6A maloko olaila ua palapalaia, Ua lohoia e na lahuikanaka, a na Gasemu no i olelo ae, E ohumu ana oe a me ka Iuda e kipi: no ia mea kou uhau ana i ka pa, i lilo oe i alii no lakou e like me keia mau olelo.
6Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
7A ua hoonoho hoi oe i poe kaula e hai aku ma Ierusalema nou, me ka i ana'ku, He alii ma Iuda: eia hoi, e lohe auanei ke alii e like me keia mau olelo. Nolaila, ea, e kukakuka pu kakou.
7And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
8Alaila, hoouna aku la au io na la, i aku la, Aole i hanaia e like me keia mau mea au i olelo mai ai, aka, mai loko mai o kou naau iho kou kuhi ana ia mau mea.
8Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
9No ka mea, hoomakau mai lakou a pau ia makou, i ae la, E kuuia'ku ko lakou mau lima mai ka hana aku, i paa ole ia. Aka, ano, e hooikaika mai oe i ko'u mau lima.
9For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God , strengthen my hands.
10Alaila komo aku la au iloko o ka hale o Semaia ke keiki a Delaia ke keiki a Mehetaheela, ka mea i pani paa ia maloko; a i mai la, E hoakoakoa pu kakou ma ka hale o ke Akua, iwaena konu o ka luakini, a e pani kakou i na puka o ka luakini: no ka mea, e hiki mai auanei lakou o pepehi ia oe; i ka po no e hiki mai ai lakou e pepehi ia oe.
10Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
11A i aku la au, E hoohee wale anei ke kanaka me au nei? Owai hoi ka mea e like me au nei e komo iloko o ka luakini i ola ia? Aole au e komo.
11And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there , that, being as I am , would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
12A ike iho la au, aia hoi, aole i hoouna mai ke Akua ia ia; aka, ua hai ku e mai la oia ia olelo ia'u: no ka mea, ua hoolimalima o Tobia laua o Sanebalata ia ia.
12And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13A no ia mea oia i hoolimalimaia'i, i makau ai au, a hana pela, a hewa, i loaa ia lakou ka olelo hoino, e hoino mai ai ia'u.
13Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14E hoomanao oe, e ko'u Akua, ia Tobia a me Sanebalata e like me keia mau hana ana a laua, a ia Noadia hoi, ke kaula wahine, a me na kaula e ae i manao e hoomakau mai ia'u.
14My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
15A ua paa ka pa i ka la iwakaluakumamalima o Elula, i na la he kanalimakumamalua.
15¶ So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
16A lohe ko makou poe enemi a pau, a ike hoi na lahuikanaka a pau a puni makou, kulou loa iho la ko lakou maka ilalo; no ka mea, ike lakou, ua hanaia keia hana e ko makou Akua.
16And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof , and all the heathen that were about us saw these things , they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
17Eia hoi, ia mau la, hoomahuahua iho la ka poe kaukaualii o Iuda i na palapala a lakou i hoouka aku ai io Tobia la, a hiki mai la hoi ka Tobia io lakou la.
17¶ Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
18No ka mea, he nui ka poe ma Iuda i hoohikiia nona, no ka mea, he hunonakane no ia no Sekania ke keiki a Ara; a ua lawe hoi o Iohanana kana keiki i ke kaikamahine a Mesulama ke keiki a Berekia.
18For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
19Eia hoi, olelo mai la lakou imua o'u ma na mea maikai ona, a hai aku la hoi lakou i ka'u mau mea ia ia. A hoouna mai o Tobia i na palapala e hoomakau mai ia'u.
19Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
