< Nehemiah 6 >

1 Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
मैले पर्खाल पुनर्निर्माण गरेर सिद्ध्याएको र टाल्नुपर्ने कुनै भाग नरहेको कुरो कुरो सन्बलत, तोबिया र अरबी गेशेमसाथै हाम्रा बाँकी शत्रुहरूले सुने, यद्यपि मैले मूल ढोकाहरूका खापाहरू भने बनाइसकेको थिइनँ ।
2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm me.
सन्बलत र गेशेमले मलाई यसो भनी खबर पठाए, “आऊ, हामी ओनोको मैदानको कतैतिर भेटघाट गरौँ ।” तर तिनीहरूले मेरो हानि गर्ने मनसाय बनाएका थिए ।
3 I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?”
मैले यसो भनी तिनीहरूकहाँ सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएँ, “मैले महान् काम गरिरहेकोले म आउन सक्दिनँ । मैले काम छोडी तिमीहरूकहाँ आएर यो काम किन रोकिने?”
4 They sent to me four times like this; and I answered them the same way.
तिनीहरूले मकहाँ उही खबर चार पटक पठाए, र मैले प्रत्येक पटक तिनीहरूलाई उही जवाफ दिएँ ।
5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
उसै गरी सन्बलतले पाँचौँ पटक पनि मकहाँ तिनको सेवक पठाए, जसको हातमा खोलिएको चिट्ठी थियो ।
6 in which was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.
त्यहाँ यस्तो लेखिएको थियो, “जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा यस्तो खबर पुगेको छ र गेशेम पनि त्यही भन्छन्, कि तिमी र यहूदीहरूले विद्रोह गर्ने योजना बनाउँदै छौ । त्यसकारण तिमीहरूले यो पर्खाल पुनर्निर्माण गर्दै छौ । तिमी तिनीहरूका राजा हुनै लागेका छौ भनी यी खबरहरूले बताउँछन् ।
7 You have also appointed prophets to proclaim of you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let’s take counsel together.”
यरूशलेममा तिम्रो बारेमा यो घोषणा गर्न तिमीहरूले अगमवक्ताहरू पनि नियुक्त गरेका छौ, 'यहूदामा राजा हुनुहुन्छ!' राजाले यी खबरहरू सुन्‍नेछन् भनी तिमी निश्‍चित हुन सक्छौ । त्यसकारण, आऊ र एक-अर्कासित कुराकानी गरौँ ।”
8 Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart.”
तब मैले तिनीकहाँ यसो भनी खबर पठाएँ, “तिमीले भनेजस्ता कुनै पनि कुरा भएकै छैन, किनकि तिमीले आफ्नै ह्रदयमा ती रचेका हौ ।”
9 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done.” But now, strengthen my hands.
तिनीहरू सबैले हामीलाई यस्तो सोच्न लगाई भयभीत पार्न चाहन्थे, “काम गर्नदेखि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हात रोक्‍ने छन्, र यो काम सकिने थिएन ।” तर अब हे परमेश्‍वर, मेरा हात मजबुत पार्नुहोस् ।
10 I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”
म दलायाहका छोरा, महेतबेलका नाति शमायाहको घरमा गएँ, जो आफ्नै घरमा बन्दी बनाइएका थिए । तिनले भने, “हामी परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरभित्र भेटौँ, र मन्दिरका ढोकाहरू बन्द गरौँ किनकि तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंलाई मार्न आउँदै छन् । तपाईंलाई मार्न तिनीहरू रातमा आउँदै छन् ।”
11 I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”
मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “के मजस्तो मान्छे भाग्छ र? के मजस्तो मान्छे आफ्नै जीवन बचाउन मन्दिरभित्र जान सक्छ र? म भित्र जाने छैनँ ।”
12 I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएको होइन, तर तिनी आफैले मेरो विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी गरेका थिए भनी मैले महसुस गरेँ । तोबिया र सन्बलतले तिनलाई भाडामा लिएका थिए ।
13 He was hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
तिनले भनेझैँ गरेर पाप गर्न र मेरो अपमान हुने गरी मेरो ख्याति बिगार्न तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भाडामा लिई मलाई डराउन चाहन्थे ।
14 “Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.”
हे मेरा परमेश्‍वर, तोबिया र सन्बलत अनि तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै कामलाई सम्झनुहोस् । साथै, मलाई डराउन खोज्ने अगमवादिनी नोअदिया र अरू बाँकी अगमवक्ताहरूलाई पनि सम्झनुहोस् ।
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.
यसरी बाउन्‍न दिनपछि एलूल महिनाको पच्‍चिसौँ दिनमा पर्खालको काम समाप्‍त भयो ।
16 When all our enemies heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they lost their confidence; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.
जब हाम्रा वरिपरि भएका हाम्रा सबै शत्रु र जातिहरूले यो सुने तिनीहरू डराए, तिनीहरू हतोत्साहित भए । किनकि हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको मदतले यो काम गरिएको थियो भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थियो ।
17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them.
यस बेला यहूदाका कुलीनहरूले तोबियालाई धेरै चिट्ठीहरू पठाए, र तोबियाका चिट्ठीहरू पनि तिनीहरूकहाँ आए ।
18 For there were many in Judah sworn to 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 as wife.
किनकि यहूदामा कैयौँ मानिसहरू थिए जो तिनीसित शपथद्वारा बाँधिएका थिए किनकि तिनी आराका छोरा शकन्याहका जुवाइँ थिए । तिनका छोरा येहोहानानले बेरेक्याहका छोरा मशुल्लामकी छोरीसित विवाह गरेका थिए ।
19 Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
तिनीहरूले तिनका असल कार्यहरू पनि मलाई बताए, र मेरा कामहरू तिनलाई बताइदिए ।
