1 N ow it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates),

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),

2 t hat Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they thought to do me harm.

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.

3 S o I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”

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?

4 B ut they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner.

Oo fartiin caynkaas ah ayay afar jeer ii soo direen; oo anna isla sidii baan ugu jawaabay.

5 T hen Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand.

Oo haddana isla sidaas oo kale Sanballad wuxuu markii shanaad ii soo diray midiidinkiisii oo gacanta ku sida warqad furan.

6 I n it was written: It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king.

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.

7 A nd you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, “ There is a king in Judah!” Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.

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.

8 T hen I sent to him, saying, “No such things as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart.”

Markaasaan u cid diray oo ku idhi, Waxaad leedahay oo kale halkan innaba laguma samayn, laakiinse adigaa qalbigaaga ka soo hindisay.

9 F or they all were trying to make us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will not be done.” Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

Waayo, dhammaantood waxay doonayeen inay na cabsiiyaan, oo waxay isyidhaahdeen, Shuqulkay ka daali doonaan, mana dhammayn doonaan. Laakiinse, Ilaahow, xoog ii yeel.

10 A fterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was a secret informer; and he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you; indeed, at night they will come to kill you.”

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.

11 A nd I said, “Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!”

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.

12 T hen I perceived that God had not sent him at all, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

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.

13 F or this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and act that way and sin, so that they might have cause for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

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.

14 M y God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat, according to these their works, and the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid. The Wall Completed

Haddaba Ilaahayow, sida shuqulladoodu yihiin u xusuuso Toobiyaah iyo Sanballad iyo weliba nebiyaddii Noocadyaah iyo nebiyadii kale oo damcay inay i cabsigeliyaan. Dhammaystirkii Derbiga

15 S o the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.

Oo sidaasaa derbigii laba iyo konton maalmood loogu dhammeeyey bishii Eluul maalinteedii shan iyo labaatanaad.

16 A nd it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

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.

17 A lso in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.

Oo weliba waagaas kuwii gobta ahaa oo dalka Yahuudah warqado badan bay u direen Toobiyaah, oo iyagana waxaa u yimid warqadihii Toobiyaah.

18 F or many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

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.

19 A lso they reported his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.

Oo weliba waxay hortayda kaga hadleen falimihiisii wanaagsanaa, oo hadalkaygana isagay u sheegeen. Toobiyaahna warqaduu iigu soo diray inuu i cabsiiyo.
