1And it came to pass that when Sanballat heard that we built the wall, he was angry and very indignant, and mocked the Jews.
1 Amma a ciya, waato kaŋ Sanballat maa iri goono ga birno windanta cina, kal a futu, a dukur gumo. A na Yahudancey hahaara mo.
2And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? shall they be permitted to go on? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, when they are burned?
2 A salaŋ nga nya-izey da Samariya wongu marga jine mo ka ne: «Yahudance londibuuney wo binde, ifo no i goono ga te? I ga ngey boŋ gaabandi no? I ga sargayyaŋ te no? I ga ban parkatak zaari folloŋ no? I ga ye ka tondey funandi laabu gusamo wo ra kaŋ go, a te begunu, wo kaŋ yaŋ i n'i ton, wala?»
3And Tobijah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox went up, it would break down their stone wall. --
3 Tobiya Amonance binde go a jarga. Nga mo ne: «Haya kaŋ i goono ga cina binde, baa da zoŋo kaaru a boŋ, kal a m'i tondi cinaro bagu ka zeeri!»
4Hear, our God, for we are despised, and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in a land of captivity!
4 Ya iri Irikoyo, ma maa, zama i goono ga donda iri! M'i wowo bare k'a ye i boŋ! M'i nooyandi i ma ciya laabu fo wongu arzaka.
5And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked the builders.
5 Ma si i laalayaŋo daabu. Ma si i zunubey tuusu mo ni jine, za kaŋ i na cinakoy futandi.
6But we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work.
6 Yaadin cine no iri na birno cinaro te d'a. Cinaro kulu binde margu ka kubay hala nd'a beene kuuyaŋo jara, zama jama gonda goyo anniya.
7And it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobijah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being repaired, that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
7 Amma a ciya, waato kaŋ Sanballat da Tobiya da Laarabey da Amonancey da Asdod borey du baaru kaŋ Urusalima birni cinaro goono ga koy jina, hala mo i sintin ka kortimey kulu lutu, kal i futu.
8and conspired all of them together to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
8 I kulu binde na me haw care banda ka ne ngey ga kaa ka Urusalima wongu, ka kusuuma tunandi noodin.
9Then we prayed to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
9 Amma iri wo n'iri adduwa te iri Irikoyo gaa. I sabbay se mo no iri na batukoyaŋ daŋ cin da zaari cinakoy se.
10And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens faileth, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build at the wall.
10 Yahuda kunda borey mo ne: «Jaraw sambukoy gaabo gaze. Fisi go mo ga gusam parkatay, hala iri si hin ka birni cinaro cina.»
11And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them and kill them, and put an end to the work.
11 Iri ibarey mo ne: «I si bay, i si di mo, kal iri ma kaa i bindo ra k'i wi, ka naŋ goyo ma ban.»
12And it came to pass that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us so ten times, from all the places whence they returned to us,
12 A ciya binde, Yahudancey kaŋ yaŋ go i jarga da goray, i kaa ka soobay ka ci iri se hala sorro way, ka ne: «Nangu kulu kaŋ araŋ bare, i day ga kaa iri gaa.»
13I set in the lower places behind the wall in exposed places, I even set the people, according to their families, with their swords, their spears and their bows.
13 Woodin sabbay se no, nangey kaŋ yaŋ ga guusu ka bisa cinaro banda, batamey ra, ay na boroyaŋ daŋ i windi borey banda kaŋ yaŋ gonda takubayaŋ da yaajiyaŋ d'i birawey.
14And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your houses.
14 Ay guna, ay tun mo, ka ne laabukoyey da mayraykoyey da jama cindo se: «Wa si humbur'ey. Wa fongu Koy Beero, nga kaŋ ga ti Beeray-Beeri-Koyo, kaŋ ga humburandi! Wa wongu araŋ nya-izey d'araŋ ize alborey da wayborey, d'araŋ wandey, d'araŋ windey se.»
15And it came to pass that when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had defeated their counsel, we returned all of us to the wall, every one to his work.
15 I go no mo, waato kaŋ iri ibarey maa kaŋ iri du ngey me-hawyaŋo baaru, hala mo Irikoy n'i saawara ciya yaamo, kal iri kulu bare ka ye birni cinaro do haray. Boro kulu ye nga goyo do.
16And from that time forth the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held the spears, and the shields, and the bows, and the corslets; and the captains were behind all the house of Judah.
16 A ciya binde, alwaati woodin ka koy jina, ay zanka jarey na saajaw te goyo ra. I boro jarey mo gonda yaaji, da koray, da biraw, da guuru kwaay ga gaay. Mayraykoyey mo go Yahuda dumo kulu banda _k'i batu|_,
17They that built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that loaded, wrought in the work with one hand, and with the other they held a weapon.
17 ngey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga birni cinaro cina. Jinay jarekoy mo, saaya kaŋ i go ga jinayey jare, i boro fo kulu ga goy nda nga kambe fo goyo ra, a kambe fa mo ga wongu jinayey gaay.
18And the builders had every one his sword girded by his side, and built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
18 Cinakoy mo, i afo kulu gonda nga takuba ga koto nga gaa, yaadin cine no i cina nd'a. Hilli karkwa mo go ay do.
19And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and extended, and we are scattered upon the wall, one far from another:
19 Ay ne laabukoyey da mayraykoyey da jama cindo se: «Goyo wo, ibambata no, ibeeri mo no. Iri go mo fay-fayante yaŋ no cinaro boŋ, borey ga mooru care se.
20in what place ye hear the sound of the trumpet, thither shall ye assemble to us; our God will fight for us.
20 To, nangu kulu kaŋ araŋ maa hilli jinde, wa margu ka kaa noodin iri do. Iri Irikoyo mo ga wongu iri se.»
21And we laboured in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the dawn till the stars appeared.
21 Yaadin cine binde no iri na goyo te d'a: i boro jare gonda yaaji ga gaay za wayna funyaŋ kal a koy to handariyayzey bangayyaŋ waate cine.
22Likewise at the same time I said to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and [be for] labour in the day.
22 Alwaati woodin ra binde ay ne borey se: «Naŋ boro kulu nda nga zanka ma zumbuyaŋ do te Urusalima ra, zama i ma ciya batukoyaŋ iri se cin haray. Zaari mo i ma goy te.»
23And neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our garments: every one had his weapon on his right side.
23 Ay bumbo nd'ay nya-izey, d'ay zankey, da borey kaŋ goono ga batu kaŋ yaŋ go g'ay gana, iri ra baa boro folloŋ mana nga bankaarayey kaa. Boro kulu mo gonda nga yaajo da nga haro.
