< Nehemiah 4 >

1 And it came to pass that when Sanballat heard that we built the wall, he was angry and very indignant, and mocked the Jews.
Ita, idi nadamag ni Sanballat a bangbangonenmi ti pader, nangpaluksaw daytoy iti kaungganna, kasta unay ti pungtotna ket linaisna dagiti Judio.
2 And 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?
Iti imatang dagiti kakabsatna ken iti armada ti Samaria, kinunana, “Ania ti ar-aramiden dagitoy nga aglulupoy a Judio? Ipagarupda ngata a bangonenda manen ti siudad; a mangidatagdanto kadagiti daton; a malpasda ti trabaho iti maysa nga aldaw; a maisublida iti sigud dagiti naburak a bato kalpasan a nauram dagitoy?
3 And 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. —
Kaduana idi ni Tobias nga Ammonita, ket kinunana, “Uray atap laeng nga aso ti mapan iti rabaw ti bangbangonenda, rebbaenna ti paderda a bato!”
4 Hear, 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!
Denggem, O Diosmi, ta maum-umsikami. Isublim kadagiti uloda dagiti panangumsida ket ipalubosmo a matakawanda ken maipanda iti daga a pakaibaludanda.
5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked the builders.
Saanmo koma nga abbongan ti kinarugitda ken saanmo a punasen ti basolda iti sangoanam, ta pinagpungtotda dagiti mangibangbangon iti pader.
6 But we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work.
Isu nga imbangonmi ti pader ket napagkakamangmi amin ti pader agingga iti kagudua ti katayagna gapu ta addaan dagiti tattao iti tarigagay nga agtrabaho.
7 And 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,
Ngem idi nadamag da Saballat, Tobias, dagiti taga-Arabia, dagiti Ammonita, ken dagiti Asdodita nga agtultuloy ti trabaho a pannakatarimaan dagiti pader ti Jerusalem, ken naserraanen dagiti narba a paset ti pader, kasta unay ti pungtotda.
8 and conspired all of them together to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
Nagtutulagda amin ket immayda a mangraut iti Jerusalem ken riribuken daytoy.
9 Then we prayed to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
Ngem nagkararagkami iti Diosmi ket nangisaadkami iti guardia a kas pannakasalaknibmi kadakuada iti aldaw ken rabii gapu iti pangtada.
10 And 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.
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Juda, “Kumapkapsuten dagiti agaw-awit kadagiti dadagsen. Adu unay dagiti naburak a bato, ket saanmi a kabaelan a tarimaanen ti pader.”
11 And 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.
Ket kinuna dagiti kabusormi, “Saandanto a maammoan wenno makita agingga a mapantayo kadakuada ket patayentayo ida, ken pasardengentayo ti trabaho.”
12 And 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,
Iti dayta a gundaway, immay dagiti Judio nga agnanaed iti amin a disso iti asidegda ket nakisaritada kadakami iti naminsangapulo a daras, balbalaagandakami maipanggep iti gandatda maibusor kadakami.
13 I 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.
Isu a nangikabilak kadagiti tattao iti kababaan a paset ti pader, kadagiti nalayang a disso. Nangtedak iti batang iti tunggal pamilia. Addaanda kadagiti kampilan, gayang ken pana.
14 And 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.
Ket kimmitaak, timmakderak, ket kinunak kadagiti panguloen, kadagiti mangiturturay, ken kadagiti tattao, “Saankayo nga agbuteng kadakuada. Laglagipenyo ti Apo, a naindaklan ken nakaskasdaaw. Makirangetkayo para kadagiti pamiliayo, para kadagiti annakyo, para kadagiti assawayo ken para kadagiti babbalayyo.
15 And 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.
Ket napasamak nga idi nadamag dagiti kabusormi a naammoanmi dagiti panggepda ken saan a pinagballigi ti Dios dagiti panggepda, nagsublikami amin iti pader, tunggal maysa iti trabahona.
16 And 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.
Isu a manipud iti dayta a tiempo, kagudua laeng kadagiti adipenko ti nagtarimaan iti pader, ken nakaiggem ti kagudua kadakuada iti gayang, kalasag, pana, ken sikakabalda kabayatan a nakatakder dagiti pangulo iti likudan dagiti tattao ti Juda.
17 They 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.
Ket dagiti trabahador nga agipatpatakder iti pader ken agaw-awit kadagiti karga ket isu met laeng ti mangbanbantay kadagiti ayanda. Nagtrabaho ti tunggal maysa babaen iti maysa nga ima, ken iggemna ti armasna iti maysa nga imana.
18 And the builders had every one his sword girded by his side, and built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
Imbarikes ti tunggal trabahador ti kampilanna ket kasdiay ti panagtrabahona. Adda iti abayko ti tao a mangpapauni iti trumpeta.
19 And 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:
Kinunak kadagiti panguloen, kadagiti opisial ken kadagiti dadduma pay a tattao, “Dakkel ken atiddog ti trabaho, ken naiwaraswarastayo iti pader, agiinnadayotayo.
20 in what place ye hear the sound of the trumpet, thither shall ye assemble to us; our God will fight for us.
Masapul nga apuraenyo ti agturong iti pakangenganyo iti uni ti trumpeta ket aguummongkayo sadiay. Ti Diostayo ti makiranget para kadatayo.”
21 And we laboured in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the dawn till the stars appeared.
Isu a nagtrabahokami. Kagudua kadakuada ti nakaiggem kadagiti gayang manipud iti panagbannawag iti agsapa agingga iti iruruar dagiti bitbituen.
22 Likewise 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.
Kinunak pay kadagiti tattao iti dayta a tiempo, “Agpatpatnag koma ti tunggal lalaki ken ti adipenna iti tengnga ti Jerusalem, tapno agguardiada kadatayo bayat ti rabii ken trabahadorda iti aldaw.”
23 And 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.
Isu nga uray siak, wenno dagiti kakabsatko, wenno dagiti adipenko, wenno dagiti lallaki a guardia a simmurot kaniak, awan kadakami ti nagsukat iti badona ken iggem ti tunggal maysa kadakami ti armasna, uray pay no mapan isuna agsakdo.
