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.
A watan Nisan a shekara ta ashirin ta mulkin Sarki Artazerzes, sa’ad aka kawo masa ruwan inabi, sai na karɓa na ba shi. Ban taɓa ɓata fuskata a gabansa ba, sai wannan karo.
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,
Saboda haka sarki ya tambaye ni ya ce, “Me ya sa fuskarka ta ɓaci, ga shi, ba ciwo kake ba? Ba abin da ya kawo wannan, in ba dai kana baƙin ciki ba.” Sai na ji tsoro ƙwarai,
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?
na amsa na ce wa sarki, “Ran sarki yă daɗe! Me zai hana fuskata ta ɓaci, sa’ad da birnin da aka binne kakannina tana zaman kango, aka kuma rushe ƙofofinsa da wuta?”
4 Then the king said to me, Concerning what, is it, thou, wouldst make request? So I prayed unto the God of the heavens,
Sai sarki ya ce mini, “Me kake so?” Sai na yi addu’a ga Allah na sama,
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.
na kuwa ba wa sarki amsa, na ce, “In ya gamshi sarki, in kuma bawanka ya sami tagomashi a idonka, bari ka aike ni in tafi ƙasar Yahuda, birnin da aka binne kakannina, domin in sāke gina shi.”
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.
Sai sarki, a lokacin sarauniya da tana zama kusa da shi, ya tambaye ni, ya ce, “Kwana nawa tafiyar za tă ɗauke ka, kuma yaushe za ka dawo?” Ya gamshi sarki ya aike ni; saboda haka na shirya lokaci.
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;
Na kuma ce masa, “In ya gamshi sarki, zai yi kyau in sami wasiƙu zuwa ga gwamnonin Kewayen Kogin Yuferites, domin su tanada kāriya har sai na isa Yahuda?
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.
A kuma ba ni wasiƙa zuwa ga Asaf, sarkin daji, yă ba ni katako don yin ƙofofin kagara na kusa da fadar haikali da kuma don katangar birni, da na wurin da zan zauna?” Sarki kuwa ya ba ni abin da na roƙa, gama Allah yana tare da ni.
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.
Saboda haka na tafi wurin gwamnonin Kewayen Kogin Yuferites, na ba su wasiƙun sarki. Sarki kuma ya aika da hafsoshin mayaƙa da kuma mahayan dawakai tare da ni.
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.
Da Sanballat mutumin Horon da Tobiya wakilin ƙasar Ammon suka ji cewa wani ya zo domin yă ƙarfafa zaman lafiyar mutanen Isra’ila, sai suka damu ƙwarai.
11 So I entered Jerusalem, —and was there three days.
Sai na je Urushalima, bayan na zauna a can na kwanaki uku,
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.
sai na fita da dare tare da mutane kalila. Ban faɗa wa wani abin da Allahna ya sa a zuciyata in yi don Urushalima ba. Ba waɗansu dabbobi kuma tare da ni, sai dai dabbar da na hau.
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.
Da dare na fita ta Ƙofar Kwari wajen Rijiyar Dila da Ƙofar Juji, ina dudduba katangar Urushalima waɗanda aka rushe da kuma ƙofofinta waɗanda aka ƙone da wuta.
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.
Sa’an nan na ci gaba zuwa wajen Ƙofar Maɓuɓɓuga da kuma Tafkin Sarki, amma babu isashen wuri saboda abin da na hau yă bi;
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.
saboda haka na haura ta kwarin da dad dare, ina dudduba katangar. A ƙarshe, na juya na sāke shiga ta Ƙofar Kwari.
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.
Shugabanni ba su san inda na tafi, ko abin da nake yi ba, domin ban riga na faɗa wa Yahudawa, ko firistoci, ko manyan gari, ko shugabanni, ko sauran waɗanda za su yi aiki, kome ba.
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.
Sai na ce musu, “Kun ga matsalar da muke ciki, yadda Urushalima ta zama kango, an kuma ƙone ƙofofinta da wuta. Ku zo mu sāke gina katangar Urushalima, ba za mu ƙara shan kunya ba.”
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.
Na kuma faɗa musu game da yadda alherin Allahna yake tare da ni da kuma abin da sarki ya faɗa mini. Suka amsa, suka ce, “Mu tashi, mu kama gini.” Sai suka fara wannan aiki mai kyau.
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?
Amma sa’ad da Sanballat mutumin Horon da Tobiya wakilin ƙasar Ammon da kuma Geshem mutumin Arab suka ji game da wannan, sai suka yi mana ba’a suka kuma yi mana dariya. Suka ce, “Me kuke tsammani kuke yi? Kuna so ku yi wa sarki tawaye ne?”
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.
Na amsa musu na ce, “Allah na sama zai ba mu nasara. Mu bayinsa za mu tashi mu fara gini, amma game da ku kam, ba ku da rabo cikin Urushalima, ba ku da wani hakki ko wani abin tunawa.”
