Nehemiah 2
1 And it came to pass, in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that, wine, was before him, —so I took up the wine, and gave unto the king, and I had never been sad before him.
E dwe mar Nisan e higa mar piero ariyo mar loch Ruoth Artaksases, kane okelne divai, ne akawo divai mi amiyo ruoth. Ne pok abedo ka an gi kuyo e nyime nyaka nene;
2 Then said the king unto me, Wherefore is thy countenance sad, seeing that, thou, art not sick? this is nothing else, but sadness of heart. Then feared I exceedingly,
omiyo ruoth nopenja niya, “Ere gima omiyo ikuyo to ok ituo? Ma ok en kuyo akuya makmana ni en mar chuny.” Ne aluor ahinya,
3 and said unto the king—Let the, king, unto times age-abiding, live! Wherefore should my countenance, not be sad, when, the city—the place of the sepulchres of my fathers, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
makmana ne awachone ruoth niya, “Mad ruoth dag amingʼa! Dabed gi mor nade ka dala maduongʼ mane kwerena oyikie omukore, kendo dhorangeyene osewangʼ gi mach.”
4 Then the king said to me, Concerning what, is it, thou, wouldst make request? So I prayed unto the God of the heavens,
Ruoth nowachona niya, “En angʼo midwaro?” Bangʼe to ne alamo Nyasach Polo,
5 and then said unto the king, If, unto the king, it seemeth good, and if thy servant might find favour before thee, That thou wouldst send me unto Judah, unto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I might build it.
mi adwoko ruoth niya, “Ka berne ruoth kendo ka jatichni oyudo ngʼwono e wangʼe, to ber mondo oora e dala maduongʼ man Juda kama kwerena oikie mondo agere kendo.”
6 And the king said unto me, the queen, also sitting beside him, For how long would be thy journey? and when wouldst thou return? So it seemed good before the king to send me, and I set him a time.
Eka ruoth, kaachiel gi mikache kobedo bathe nopenja niya, “Wuodhino biro kawo thuolo maromo nade, to ibiro duogo karangʼo?” Ne berne ruoth mondo oora; omiyo ne achiwo odiechiengʼ monego awuogie.
7 Then said I unto the king, If, unto the king, it seemeth good, may, letters, be given me, unto the pashas Beyond the River, —that they may convey me over, until I come into Judah;
Bende ne awachone niya, “Ka berne ruoth, to mad miya barupe mondo aterne jotelo man loka aora Yufrate, mondo omi gibi gimiya rit makare nyaka achopi Juda?
8 also a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the park that belongeth unto the king, that he may give me timber to build up the gates of the fortress which pertaineth to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house whereinto I shall enter. And the king gave me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Kendo mad imiya baruwa ma aterone Asaf, ma jarit yiend bunge magi, mondo obi omiya sirni migerogo dhoranga dala maduongʼ mochomore gi hekalu kendo alosgo ohinga mar dala kod ot mabiro dakie?” To nikech lwet Nyasacha ma jangʼwono ne ni koda, ruoth noyie gi kwayona duto.
9 Then came I unto the pashas Beyond the River, and gave them the letters of the king, —now the king, had sent with me, captains of the army, and horsemen.
Omiyo ne adhi ir jotelo man loka aora Yufrate mi amiyogi barupe ruoth. Ruoth noora gi jotend jolweny kod jolweny makedo koidho farese.
10 And, when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, heard of it, it vexed them, with a great vexation, —that there had come a man, to seek welfare, for the sons of Israel.
Kane Sanbalat ma ja-Horon kod Tobia ja-Amon ma jatelo nowinjo ma, negibedo kod achiedh-nade ahinya ni ngʼato osebiro madwaro kelo dongruok ni jo-Israel.
11 So I entered Jerusalem, —and was there three days.
Ne adhi Jerusalem, kendo bangʼ kane asetieko ndalo adek kanyo,
12 Then rose I by night, I, and a few men with me, I having told no man, what, my God, had been putting in my heart, to do for Jerusalem, —and, beast, was there none with me, save the beast on which, I myself, was riding.
ne awuok gotieno kod jomoko manok. Ne pod ok anyiso ngʼato angʼata gima Nyasacha noketo e chunya mondo atimne Jerusalem. Ne onge kweth mag farese mane an godo makmana mano mane aidho.
13 So I went forth through the valley-gate by night, even unto the front of the snake-fountain, and into the dung-gate, —and I viewed the walls of Jerusalem, how, they, were broken down, and, the gates thereof, consumed with fire.
Kane ochopo otieno ne adhi kaluwo Dhoranga Holo kochiko Soko mar Thuol kod Dhoranga Owuoyo, ka anono ohingni mag Jerusalem, mane osegore piny, kod dhorangeyigi mane osewangʼ gi mach.
14 Then passed I over unto the fountain-gate, and unto the pool of the king, —but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
Bangʼe ne adhi nyime nyaka e Dhoranga Thidhia kod Dago mar Ruoth, makmana ne onge thuolo kama farasa ne nyalo kadhogo;
15 Then went I up in the torrent-bed, by night, and viewed the wall, —and turned back, and entered by the valley-gate, and so returned.
omiyo nadhi nyaka e holo gotieno, kanono ohinga. Mogik, ne alokora mi achako adonjo kendo gie Dhoranga Holo.
16 Now, the deputies, knew not whither I had gone, nor what I was doing, —not even to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the deputies, nor to the rest who were doing the work, had I as yet told it.
Jotelo ne ok ongʼeyo kuma ne adhiyoe, kata gima ne atimo, nikech ne pod ok awacho gimoro ne jo-Yahudi kata jodolo kata joka ruoth kata jotelo kata joma moko mane biro tiyo tijno.
17 So I said unto them, Ye, can see the misfortune that, we, are in, how that, Jerusalem, lieth waste, and, the gates thereof, are burned with fire: Come, and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may remain, no longer, a reproach.
Bangʼe ne awachonegi niya, “Uneno thagruok ma wantiere godo: Jerusalem osemuki, to dhorangeyege osewangʼ gi mach. Biuru wager ohinga mar Jerusalem kendo, to ok wanachak wabed e wichkuot kendo.”
18 Then told I them, of the hand of my God, that, it, had been good upon me, as also of the words of the king, which he had spoken unto me, —so they said, We will arise and build! and they strengthened their hands right well.
Ne akonegi bende kuom Nyasacha ma jangʼwono mane ni koda kod gima ruoth nowachona. Ne gidwoka niya, “Wachakuru gedo kendo.” Omiyo negichako tich maberni.
19 But, when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed at us, and poured contempt upon us, —and said, What is this thing which ye would do? against the king, would ye rebel?
To ka Sanbalat ma ja-Horon, Tobia ma jatend jo-Amon kod Geshem ma ja-Arabu nowinjo wach gedoni, ne gijarowa kendo buonowa ka gipenjo niya, “Angʼo ma utimoni? Dibed ni ungʼanyo ne ruoth?”
20 Then answered I them, and said to them—The God of the heavens—he, will prosper us, therefore, we his servants, will arise and build, —But, to you, pertaineth no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
Ne adwokogi niya, “Nyasach polo biro miyowa loch. Wan jotichne wabiro gedo kendo, makmana un, to uonge gi pok e Jerusalem kata dwaro moro amora kata rapar moro amora kuome.”
