Nehemiah 2
1 Nowe in the moneth Nisan in the twentieth yere of king Artahshashte, the wine stoode before him, and I tooke vp the wine, and gaue it vnto the King. nowe I was not before time sad in his presence.
Waggaa digdammaffaa bara Arxeksis Mootichaatti jiʼa Niisaan keessa yeroo daadhiin wayinii isaaf dhiʼeeffametti ani daadhii wayinii sana fuudhee mootichaaf nan kenne. Ani fuula isaa duratti gaddee hin beeku;
2 And the king said vnto me, Why is thy coutenance sad, seeing thou art not sicke? this is nothing, but sorow of heart. Then was I sore afrayd,
kanaafuu mootichi, “Ati utuu hin dhukkubsatin fuulli kee maaliif waan gadde fakkaata? Kun gadda garaa keessaati malee waan biraa miti” naan jedhe. Anis akka maleen sodaadhe;
3 And I said to the King, God saue the King for euer: why should not my countenance be sad, when the citie and house of the sepulchres of my fathers lieth waste, and the gates thereof are deuoured with fire?
mootichaanis, “Yaa mootii bara baraan jiraadhu! Utuu magaalaan abbootiin koo keessatti awwaalaman barbadooftee jirtuu, utuu karrawwan ishees ibiddaan barbadeeffamanii jiranuu fuulli koo maaliif hin gaddu?” nan jedhe.
4 And the King said vnto me, For what thing doest thou require? Then I prayed to the God of heauen,
Mootichis, “Akka ani maal siif godhu barbaadda?” naan jedhe. Kanaafuu ani Waaqa samii kadhadheen
5 And sayde vnto the King, If it please the King, and if thy seruant haue found fauour in thy sight, I desire that thou wouldest send me to Iudah vnto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I may buyld it.
akkana jedhee mootichaaf nan deebise; “Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiisee garbichi kee fuula kee duratti surraa argate, akka ani magaalattii deebisee ijaaruuf gara Yihuudaa, gara magaalaa abbootiin koo itti awwaalamanitti na ergi.”
6 And the King sayd vnto me, (the Queene also sitting by him) How long shall thy iourney be? and when wilt thou come againe? So it pleased the King, and he sent me, and I set him a time.
Kana irratti mootichi utuma mootittiin isa bira teessuu, “Karaan kee yeroo hammamii fudhata? Atis yoomi deebita?” jedhee na gaafate. Na erguun fedhii mootichaa taʼe; anis yeroo nan murteeffadhe.
7 After I saide vnto the King, If it please the King, let them giue mee letters to the captaines beyond the Riuer, that they may conuay me ouer, till I come into Iudah,
Ammas ani akkanan isaan jedhe; “Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise, akka isaan hamma ani Yihuudaa gaʼutti nagaadhaan na dabarsaniif bulchitoota Laga Efraaxiis Gamaatiif xalayaan anaaf haa kennamu.
8 And letters vnto Asaph the keeper of the Kings parke, that hee may giue me timber to buylde the gates of the palace (which apperteined to the house) and for the walles of the citie, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the King gaue me according to the good hand of my God vpon me.
Akkasumas akka inni laaxaa ani ittiin dareeraa karra daʼannoo mana qulqullummaa, dallaa magaalaa sanaa fi kan mana ani itti galuuf jiruu tolfadhu naaf kennuuf Aasaaf eegduu bosona mootichaaf xalayaan naaf haa barreeffamu.” Sababii harki Waaqa koo tolaan sun narra tureef mootichi waan ani kadhadhe naa kenne.
9 Then came I to the captaines beyonde the Riuer, and gaue them the Kings letters. And the King had sent captaines of the armie and horsemen with me.
Kanaafuu ani gara bulchitoota Gama Laga Efraaxiis dhaqee xalayoota mootichaa isaanitti nan kenne. Mootichi ajajjoota waraanaa fi abbootii fardeenii na wajjin ergee ture.
10 But Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah a seruant an Ammonite heard it, and it grieued them sore, that there was come a man which sought the wealth of the children of Israel.
Sanbalaax Hooroonichii fi Xoobbiyaan qondaaltichi Amoon sun yeroo waan kana dhagaʼanitti sababii namni Israaʼeliif waan tolaa yaadu tokko dhufeef akka malee ni raafaman.
11 So I came to Ierusalem, and was there three dayes.
Ani ergan Yerusaalem dhaqee bultii sadii achi bubbulee booddee
12 And I rose in the night, I, and a fewe men with me: for I told no man, what God had put in mine heart to do at Ierusalem, and there was not a beast with me, saue the beast whereon I rode.
halkaniin kaʼee namoota muraasa wajjin nan baʼe. Ani waan Waaqni koo akka ani Yerusaalemiif godhu garaa koo keessa kaaʼe nama tokkotti iyyuu hin himne. Horii tokkicha ani yaabbadhe sana malee horiin tokko illee na bira hin turre.
13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, and came before the dragon well, and to the dung porte, and vewed the walles of Ierusalem, howe they were broken downe, and the portes thereof deuoured with the fire.
Ani halkaniin Karra Sululaatiin gad baʼee gara Boolla Bishaan Jawweetii fi gara Karra Dikee dhaqee dallaa Yerusaalem kan diigamee fi karrawwan ishee kanneen ibiddaan barbadeeffaman sana irra naannaʼeen ilaale.
14 Then I went foorth vnto the gate of the fountaine, and to the Kings fishpoole, and there was no rowme for the beast that was vnder me to passe.
Ergasiis ani ittuma fufee gara Karra Burqaa fi gara Haroo mootichaa nan dhaqe; garuu karaan horii ani yaabbadhe dabarsu tokko illee hin turre;
15 Then went I vp in ye night by the brooke, and viewed the wall, and turned backe, and comming backe, I entred by the gate of the valley and returned.
kanaafuu ani halkaniin karaa sululaatiin ol baʼee dallaa sana nan ilaale. Dhuma irrattis dugda duubatti deebiʼee Karra Sululaatiin ol nan seene.
16 And the rulers knewe not whither I was gone, nor what I did, neither did I as yet tell it vnto the Iewes, nor to the Priestes, nor to the noble men, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that laboured in the worke.
Sababii ani hamma gaafasitti Yihuudootatti yookaan lubootatti yookaan namoota bebeekamootti yookaan qondaaltotatti yookaan namoota hojii sana hojjechuuf jiran biraa kamitti iyyuu homaa hin himiniif qondaaltonni sun gara ani dhaqe yookaan waan ani hojjechaa ture hin beekne.
17 Afterward I said vnto them, Ye see the miserie that we are in, how Ierusalem lyeth waste, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire: come and let vs buylde the wall of Ierusalem, that we be no more a reproche.
Anis akkana isaaniin nan jedhe; “Isin rakkoo nu keessa jirru ni argitu; Yerusaalem diigamteerti; karrawwan ishees ibiddaan gubamaniiru. Kottaa nu akka siʼachi nama kolfaa hin taaneef dallaa Yerusaalem deebifnee ni ijaarraa.”
18 Then I tolde them of the hande of my God, (which was good ouer me) and also of the Kings wordes that he had spoken vnto me. And they sayd, Let vs rise, and buyld. So they strengthened their hand to good.
Ani waaʼee harka Waaqa koo kan narra jiru tolaa sanaa fi waan mootichi naan jedhe illee isaanitti nan hime. Isaanis, “Kottaa kaanee deebisnee haa ijaarru” jedhanii deebisan. Kanaafuu isaan hojii gaarii kana jalqaban.
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the seruant an Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian heard it, they mocked vs and despised vs, and said, What a thing is this that ye doe? Will ye rebell against the King?
Garuu Sanbalaaxi Hooroonichi, Xoobbiyaan qondaaltichi Amoonii fi Gesheem namni Arabaa sun waan kana dhageenyaan nutti qoosanii nutti kolfan. Isaanis, “Wanni isin hojjettan kun maali? Isin mootichatti fincilaa jirtu moo?” jedhanii gaafatan.
20 Then answered I them, and sayd to them, The God of heauen, he will prosper vs, and we his seruants will rise vp and buylde: but as for you, ye haue no portion nor right, nor memoriall in Ierusalem.
Ani immoo akkana jedheen deebii kenneef; “Waaqni samii fiixaan nuuf baasa. Nu garboonni isaa immoo kaanee ni ijaarra; isin garuu Yerusaalem keessaa qooda yookaan mirga yookaan yaadannoo tokko illee hin qabdan.”
