Nehemiah 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein — though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates —
1Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem, ac mwet lokoalok lasr saya elos lohngak lah kut aksafyela tari pot uh, ac wangin acn lula ma soenna fonfon uh, tusruktu soenna tulokyak srungul nu ke mutunpot uh.
2that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying: 'Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.' But they thought to do me mischief.
2Ouinge Sanballat ac Geshem sapma nu sik tuh nga in osun yoroltal in sie siti ke acn tupasrpasr in acn Ono. Kutasrik se laltal pa inge, tuh eltal in orek lokoalok nu sik.
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?'
3Nga supwala mwet utuk kas in fahk nu seltal, “Nga kafofo ke sie orekma na yohk sripa, ac nga tia ku in fahsrot. Nga ac tia tulokinya orekma uh tuh nga in tufoki nu yurumtal.”
4And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
4Pacl akosr eltal supu kas sacna, ac ke kais sie pacl nga topkolos ke top sacna.
5Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
5Na Sanballat el supwama sie sin mwet kulansap lal nu yuruk ke sap soko aklimekosr, ac ma se inge tuku ke sie leta ma tia kauli.
6wherein was written: 'It is reported among the nations, and Geshem saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou buildest the wall; and thou wouldest be their king, even according to these words.
6Pa inge kas kac uh: “Geshem el fahk nu sik mu oasr kas se srumunyuk inmasrlon mutanfahl raunikutla inge lah kom ac mwet Jew akola in tuyak lain kut, pa pwanang kowos sifil musai pot an. El fahk pac mu kom sifacna nunku in oru tuh kom in tokosra faclos,
7And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim 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.'
7ac kom sapkin nu sin kutu mwet palu tuh elos in sulkakin in acn Jerusalem lah kom pa tokosra lun Judah. Kalem lah Tokosra Fulat Artaxerxes el ac lohng ke ma inge, na pa nga ngisre tuh nga kom in osun ac aetuila ke ma inge nukewa.”
8Then I sent unto him, saying: 'There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.'
8Nga supwala top se inge nu sel: “Wangin kas pwaye ke ma kom fahk an. Ma na kom sifacna kinauk.”
9For they all would have us afraid, saying: 'Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done.' But now, strengthen Thou my hands.
9Elos srike na in aksangengye kut in tulokinya orekma uh. Na nga pre ac fahk, “Inge, O God, oru tuh nga in ku!”
10And as for me, I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, 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.'
10Ke pacl se inge, nga tuh tufokla in mutwata yorol Shemaiah su tia ku in illa liki lohm sel — el wen natul Delaiah, wen natul Mehetabel. El fahk nu sik, “Nga kom enenu in som ac tukeni wikla in Acn Mutal ke Tempul, ac lakiya srungul uh, mweyen elos ac tuku in unikomi. Siena sin fong inge elos ac tuku unikomi.”
11And I said: 'Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.'
11Na nga topuk ac fahk, “Nga tia kain mwet se ma kaing ac wikwik. Ya kom nunku mu nga ac som wikla in Tempul in molela moul luk? Nga fah tiana.”
12And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; for he pronounced this prophecy against me, whereas Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
12Ke nga nunku kac, nga akilen tuh God El tiana kaskas nu sel Shemaiah, a Tobiah ac Sanballat tuh moli nu sel elan fahk nu sik kas in sensenkakin inge.
13For this cause 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 taunt me.
13Eltal moleang nu sel elan aksangengyeyu nga in oru ma koluk, eltal in mau akkolukyela inek, ac aklusrongtenyeyu.
14Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have me put in fear.
14Nga pre, “O God, esamya ma Tobiah ac Sanballat eltal orala, ac sang kaiyuk nu seltal. Esam pac mutan sac Noadiah ac mwet palu saya nukewa su tuh srike in aksangengyeyu.”
15So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
15Ke len aklongoul limekosr ke malem Elul, tukun len in orekma lumngaul luo, nufonna pot sac aksafyeyukla.
16And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard thereof, that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
16Ke mwet lokoalok lasr in mutunfacl ma apinkutla lohng kac, elos pulakunak lah elos mwekinla, mweyen mwet nukewa etu na lah orekma sac orekla ke kasreyuk lun God.
17Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
17In pulan pacl sac nufon, leta puspis supweyuk inmasrlon mwet kol lun mwet Jew ac Tobiah.
18For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife.
18Mwet puspis in Judah tuh welul lac, mweyen papa talupal Tobiah pa Shecaniah, sie mwet Jew, wen natul Arah. Wikin pac lah Jehohanan, wen natul Tobiah, el payuk sin acn se natul Meshullam, wen natul Berechiah.
19Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
19Mwet uh kaskas na ye mutuk in srumun orekma wo nukewa Tobiah el orala, ac elos fahk pac nu sel ma nukewa ma nga fahk. A el nuna supweyuk leta nu sik in srike in aksangengyeyu.
