1Ke Sanballat el lohng lah kut mwet Jew mutawauk tari in sifil musai pot uh, el kasrkusrak ac mutawauk in sufan kut.
1Now when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he was furious and filled with indignation. He ridiculed the Jews
2El fahk ye mutun mwet lal ac un mwet mweun lun Samaria, “Mea mwet Jew afon inge oru uh? Ya elos nunku in sifil musai siti uh? Ya elos nunku mu ke sripen mwe kisa elos oru inge, ac ku in tari ke len sefanna? Ya elos ku in orek eot in musa ke yol in eot firirla ac mokutkuti?”
2before his associates and the army of Samaria, saying, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Can they restore the wall by themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Can they bring these burnt stones back to life from the mounds of rubble?”
3Tobiah el tu siskal na el fahk, “Pot fuka se elos ac ku in orala? Finne fox soko, el ac ku in rakinya!”
3Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said, “If even a fox were to climb up on what they are building, it would break down their wall of stones!”
4Nga pre ac fahk, “O God, lohng kas in aksruksruk lalos kacsr inge. Lela angonkas lalos in folokyang nu faclos sifacna. Lela tuh ma lalos nukewa in pisreyukla, ac in utukla elos oana luman mwet kapir nu in sie mutunfacl ma elos mwetsac nu we.
4Hear us, O God, for we are despised. Turn their scorn back upon their own heads, and let them be taken as plunder to a land of captivity.
5Nikmet nunak munas ke ma koluk elos oru, ac nikmet mulkunla ma koluk lalos, ke sripen elos akkolukye kut su musa.”
5Do not cover up their iniquity or let their sin be blotted out from Your sight, for they have provoked the builders.
6Ouinge kut orekma na ke pot uh. Tia paht na sun tafu fulata, ke sripen mwet uh arulana insewowo in orekma.
6So we rebuilt the wall until all of it was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
7Sanballat, Tobiah, ac mwet Arabia, mwet Ammon, ac mwet Ashdod elos lohngak lah kilkilukyakna orekma lasr ke pot Jerusalem, ac acn ma soenna kupasreni ke pot ah fahsr in fonfonla, na elos kasrkusrakak.
7When Sanballat and Tobiah, together with the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they were furious,
8Ouinge elos nukewa pwapa in tukeni tuku fusauk orekma uh, ac mweuni Jerusalem.
8and all of them conspired to come and fight against Jerusalem and create a hindrance.
9Tusruktu kut pre nu sin God lasr, ac filiya mwet in topangi mwet lokoalok ke len ac fong.
9So we prayed to our God and posted a guard against them day and night.
10Mwet Judah elos onkakin on in asor soko inge: “Kut munasla in us ma toasr, Ac puslana kutkut in utukla. Kut ac musai pot uh fuka?”
10Meanwhile, the people of Judah said: “The strength of the laborer fails, and there is so much rubble that we will never be able to rebuild the wall.”
11Mwet lokoalok lasr nunku mu kut ac tia liyalos ku etu ma elos akoo nwe ke elos sun kut ac unikuti, in pwanang orekma lasr uh in tui.
11And our enemies said, “Before they know or see a thing, we will come into their midst, kill them, and put an end to the work.”
12Tusruktu pacl pus, mwet Jew su muta inmasrlon mwet lokoalok lasr, elos fahsr fahk nu sesr ma elos akoo in oru lain kut.
12At that time the Jews who lived nearby came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”
13Ouinge nga sang cutlass, osra, ac pisr nu sin mwet lasr, ac oakelosi in sou, tuh elos in tu sisken pot uh nu loac, ke acn nukewa ma patpat ac srakna pusisel.
13So I stationed men behind the lowest sections of the wall, at the vulnerable areas. I stationed them by families with their swords, spears, and bows.
14Nga akilen lah mwet uh fosrnga, ouinge nga fahk nu selos, ac nu sin mwet kol ac mwet pwapa, “Nik kowos sangeng sin mwet lokoalok lasr. Esam lupan fulat ac ku sakirik lun LEUM GOD , ac kowos in mweun ke mwet wiowos, tulik nutuwos, mutan kiowos, ac acn suwos.”
14After I had made an inspection, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and 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 homes.”
15Mwet lokoalok lasr elos lohng lah kut etu tari pwapa lalos, ac elos akilen tuh God El sikulya lemlem lalos. Na kut nukewa folokla in sifil musai pot uh.
15When our enemies heard that we were aware of their scheme and that God had frustrated it, each of us returned to his own work on the wall.
16In pacl sac me, tafu mwet luk uh orekma ke musa, ac tafu topangi mwet lokoalok. Elos nukum nuknuk in mweun ac sruokya osra, mwe loeyuk, ac pisr natulos. Ac mwet kolyasr elos arulana sang ku lalos in akpulaikye mwet
16And from that day on, half of my servants did the work while the other half held spears, shields, bows, and armor. The officers stationed themselves behind all the people of Judah
17su musai pot uh. Finne elos su til kufwen mwe orekma, elos orekma ke la paolos ac ke lac po ngia elos sruok mwe anwuk natulos.
17who were rebuilding the wall. The laborers who carried materials worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other.
18Ac mwet musa nukewa elos sripisrya cutlass natulos ke pupalos. Mwet se ma ac sulkakin pacl in mweun ke pusren mwe ukuk el tu na siskuk.
18And each of the builders worked with his sword strapped at his side. But the trumpeter stayed beside me.
19Nga fahk nu sin mwet uh ac mwet pwapa ac mwet kol lalos, “Ke sripen orekma uh arulana yohk, kut ac muta loes inmasrlosr sie sin sie fin pot uh.
19Then I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people: “The work is great and extensive, and we are spread out far from one another along the wall.
20Kowos fin lohng pusren ukuk, aksaye fahsreni nu yuruk. God lasr uh ac fah mweun kacsr.”
20Wherever you hear the sound of the horn, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us!”
21Ouinge len nukewa, mutawauk ke kusrun len uh nwe ke itu uh takak ke fong, tafu sesr orekma ke pot uh, ac tafu tu sruok osra in mweun ac topang mwet lokoalok uh.
21So we continued the work, while half of the men held spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out.
22Ke pacl se inge, nga fahk nu sin mwet kol orekma uh lah elos, ac mwet kasru lalos nukewa, in mutana Jerusalem ke fong uh, tuh kut in ku in forfor taran siti uh ke fong, ac orekma ke len.
22At that time I also said to the people, “Let every man and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they can stand guard by night and work by day.”
23Nga tiana sarukla nuknuk luk uh, finne ke fong, ac mwet wiyu su kulansupweyu ac karinginyu elos oru oapana. Ac kut nukewa sruok na mwe mweun natusr inpaosr.
23So neither I nor my brothers nor my servants nor the guards with me changed out of our clothes; each carried his weapon, even to go for water.
